And so the rivalry resumes. A lot on the line for 2 teams seeking national seeds.
Should be a good one.
Both scheduled pitchers, Perkins (3-0) and Hickman (6-0) don’t have a loss.. something will have to give! Go Cards!Let’s see if our guys will be patient at the plate and just drove the ball. If they do I say they win. If the press too much and have poor plate discipline they will struggle. The pitching and defense is strong.
Hopefully,Perkins will have his good stuff. The bullpen put in a lot of work over the weekend.
It is what it is. It was a staring contest and we blinked. Several times. As the announcer said, both these teams are likely National seeds. If it was game 1 or a single elimination game, I would take Detmers and the Cards over anybody Vandy could throw against us. But as we know in baseball, it doesn’t always play out like that. We beat Vandy 3 straight. They decided to stop the streak. Now for Virginia! Go Cards!Well...I’m not a happy camper. Choke jobs tonight and why? Pinkham can’t catch a foul ball. Binellas cannot catch a foul ball (Fitz tried to make the catch but Alex should have caught it). Fitz’s Horrible throw to first early in the game. Yet, his throw home balances out the error. Snider at third. I have had issues with him for a while. I still believe he makes poor decisions either sending runners or holding them up. CDM - if a pitcher is throwing strikes why take him out? Garrett was getting the job done and you get cute due to lefty-righty matchups. Bad call. Wright, Lohan and Luke all choked. However, it’s one game and you move on. Just a missed opportunity to really make a play for a national seed and they wilted.
I think you need to research your own history. Vandy made 12 postseason appearances before actually getting to the College World Series in 2011. They won it in their 2nd appearance in 2014 and was runnerup to Virginia in 2015. We are hopefully where Vandy was a few years back. It’s a great rivalry but don’t get too cocky over here...Vandy has #1 RPI and based on remaining schedule and likely to remain in that position and be the top national seed. But, baseball is a high variance sport so any single game with the Cards is probably a coin flip. The odds of winning it all are probably in Vandy’s favor and I’d love to see these two teams face each other in the final series in Omaha. I like Louisville, too, but feel it has underperformed in post season. Hopefully that’ll change this year. Again, I love the Cards and wish them the best (almost).
