CWS USC vs. UCLA GAME #2 Thread**

[ucan'tlickourcocks]

Damn Shadow's messed Jackie up! :lol:

[cockybusiness2]

that is ok... WE WILL WIN

[MEGA]

DAY UM

[jdixonfan]

Pitcher looks a little wild.

[c-girl]

I believe

[jdixonfan]

They basically just said that even if we didn't "deserve" some of those runs from last night, we got robbed by the wind on two would-be home runs, so it balanced out.

[RedSoxGamecock8]

0-0 after 1

[IBleedGarnetandBlack]

1B Walker:

p1: ball 1-0
p2: pop fly to CF. 3rd out.

End of 1st.

0-0

Rasmussen - 13 pitches

[cockybusiness2]

ok roth you are the man

[tptgamecock]

Ok, we really need a 123 inning.

[MEGA]

I believe



ME TOO AND GETTING OLDER BY THE MINUTE WHILE DOING SO !!! :rotfl:

[tptgamecock]

HELLO COTTIA AND PULL US THROUGH !!!!:woo:

She went to bed. But, she said anyone that does not pull for the Gamecocks is "stupid."

[Uhaul]

They basically just said that even if we didn't "deserve" some of those runs from last night, we got robbed by the wind on two would-be home runs, so it balanced out.

All of this is moot b/c we certainly "deserved" at least two runs, which would've been good enough to win.

[c-girl]

Come on Roth.. Be the man... 123

[RedSoxGamecock8]

thats a crappy hit

[IBleedGarnetandBlack]

Top 2nd:

RF Krill:

p1: ball
p2: single up the middle.

Runner on 1st. 0 outs.

[cockybusiness2]

ouch basehit

[SC Sandlapper]

roth not fooling the right handers a bit. these boys are better hitters than clempson

[TStone]

Anybody else think the announcers seem to have jumped off of the UCLA bandwagon tonight? The comments seem more in USC's favor.

[MEGA]

She went to bed. But, she said anyone that does not pull for the Gamecocks is "stupid."
:woo: She has the right idea !!

[Uhaul]

I'm not suggesting anything yet, but how short do you think the leash is tonight?

[CockyCyclone]

Good god announcers, basically saying Roth can't do this...

[MEGA]

Anybody else think the announcers seem to have jumped off of the UCLA bandwagon tonight? The comments seem more in USC's favor.



Yes last night it was all about UCLA !

[tptgamecock]

How long do we stick with Roth? he seems tired. Now we really need a double play

[JBC1222]

I honestly think the announcers heard about the criticism last night

[IBleedGarnetandBlack]

LF Giovinazzo:

p1: ball 1-0
p2: ball 2-0
p3: ball 3-0
p4: strike 3-1
p5: ball 4.

Runners on 1st and 2nd. 0 outs.

Roth won't last long in the game at this rate.

[RedSoxGamecock8]

mata going to the pen

[Uhaul]

How long do we stick with Roth? he seems tired. Now we really need a double play

It's early, but he does seem to be leaving the ball out over the plate and he's having trouble locating his breaking ball...a sure sign of fatigue.

[SC4EVER]

already got guys in the bullpen

[SC Sandlapper]

glad we have somebody warming up

[JBC1222]

I think it will be a short leash, if a bunch of guys pitch only an inning or two tonight they can still pitch tomorrow

[c-girl]

I honestly think the announcers heard about the criticism last night

I think you're right...

[GamecockNeal]

The announcers arent that far off. I mean Clemson lineup was way different and we are seeing that already.

[RedSoxGamecock8]

I'm not suggesting anything yet, but how short do you think the leash is tonight?

not very long

[SC4EVER]

finally correcting his mistake about cooper, yes he was drafted.

[SC Sandlapper]

glad they retracted that mistake about coop's draft status

[MEGA]

Lets give ROTH a little time to settle into this team !!

[Uhaul]

I agree w/ getting the pen up. No sense in letting him out there if he clearly doesn't have it...which it would appear he does not.

[RedSoxGamecock8]

DP

[SC Sandlapper]

sweeeeeeeeeeet

[IBleedGarnetandBlack]

3B Brown:

p1: ball 1-0
p2: foul bunt 1-1
p3: ball 2-1
p4: 6-4-3 double play.

Runner on 3rd. 2 outs.

[tptgamecock]

double play. that was huge

[Uhaul]

Nice job, got the DP ball.

[JBC1222]

double plays are the best thing ever

[jdixonfan]

Real nice turn by Wingo there.

[RedSoxGamecock8]

come on Mike one more out

[cockybusiness2]

Needed that

[Uhaul]

Got to get the nine hole guy.

[SC4EVER]

[riceatusc]

Good save Roth

[Uhaul]

Nicely done, Roth. Way to battle.

[cockybusiness2]

[TStone]

Wow... hell of a job getting out of that inning unscathed

[Rebel4ever]

Way to play Roth! If we can just scratch out a couple of runs to take the lead, they're beat.

[cockybusiness2]

time to score... and score ...and score

[carolina80]

OK....let's open up with some runs!:woo:

[SC4EVER]

hopefully roth has found his comfort zone

[Uhaul]

time to score... and score ...and score

Haha, lets start it off with one first.

[Uhaul]

Jesus, this ump's strike zone is all over the place.

[SCohioBoy]

I am on the phone with ESPN and told them to get rid of Orel, They said they would pass it along to the producer

[TStone]

They said the same thing last night about other coaches saying they didn't want to play against him.

I'm sure they will do 15 minutes on Dyson too.

:rotfl:

[RedSoxGamecock8]

[RedSoxGamecock8]

Come on Scott one hit !

[cockybusiness2]

Time to Go Cocks Go

[USAFGAMECOCK]

I wonder what Bauer's warm-up routine is like? Is it traditional or is it "out there"? I assume he wears short sleeves when he pitches in warm weather????

[c-girl]

Now they are on mascots. These guys are a joke!

And how many mascots have come? :lol:

[njp48]

I wonder what Bauer's warm-up routine is like? Is it traditional or is it "out there"? I assume he wears short sleeves when he pitches in warm weather????

No he wears long sleeves

[RedSoxGamecock8]

Now they are on mascots. These guys are a joke!
tell them Cocky can do what he wants when he's 2 time national mascot of the year

[MosesCock]

so how about some score updates instead of the colorful anti-broadcaster commentary

[CockyCyclone]

[c-girl]

still 0-0

commentators still suck
:lol::lol::lol:

[Zam]

I was afraid that Roth was looking a little tired, but at least the UCLA pitcher isn't fairing any better. This game is going to come down to good old fashion defense.

They are better tonight but just on general principles they should be broken down like double barrel shotguns and duck snorted til their noses bleed.

Throw in a few frozen ropes, seeing eye singles and chili dippers for good measure.

[njp48]

Pick him off again.

[RedSoxGamecock8]

OUCH that was a good double

[c-girl]

Come on guys!!! Let's leave them there!

[MEL]

It's too bad they couldn't cash in on the loaded bases. They cannot be missing opportunities like that. Let's hope we don't have to look back and say, "if only we could have scored when they had the bases loaded". (that's common sense of course). I'd hate to see UCLA pick up momentum and this series going to a 3rd game.

[SC4EVER]

come on offense

[njp48]

stop bunting Whit!

[Uhaul]

I hope that means Roth is settling in.

I don't think he's really settling in. He's clearly fatigued, but he's battling and pitching in an intelligent manner. He knew walking the last guy wasn't a big deal with the lefty on deck & he didn't give in to him; broke the batter down w/ off speed pitches out of the strike zone & allowed him to get himself out.

That's some nice work.

yeah, i thought i heard him say "quit leaning into the pitches"

He said "Stop leaning over the plate..." Couldn't understand the rest of it.

[MEL]

Thanks for the great posts. This is how I'm keeping up with the game. I'm being supersticious because the only game I watched all the way thru is the game they lost. Since then, I've been keeping up with the games on this thread and watching the last 2 innings and they've won. So, keep up the play-by-plays. Thanks!!


:wink: :swingcoc:

[Cntrybrd4]

He said "Stop leaning over the plate..." Couldn't understand the rest of it.

He told him to stop leaning over the plate or he was gonna get hit and stay at the plate. Gotta love the HD!

[Acockolypse Now]

Just got back to work. Streaming it online. We look a bit tighter tonight.

[Uhaul]

I thought you could not question balls and strikes

Commentators are just hypothesizing about what they were discussing. It's more likely the UCLA coach was bitching about what he said to the batter.

[mickholtlaw]

2 outs. Not working this guy.

Enders:

p1: strike 0-1
p2: strike 0-2

0 on 2 outs.

[Acockolypse Now]

YES!

[IBleedGarnetandBlack]

Haney:

p1: bloop single

1 on 2 out.

[SC4EVER]

Haney making good contact today

[Uhaul]

Haney's hits have radar.

[Cntrybrd4]

Thanks for getting the rest of it.

Yeah, I love that the umpire brought it up, because they have all been leaning and it's only a matter of time before one gets hit.

[njp48]

a seeing eye dog

[Zam]

It doesn't look like we can get on base unless there's two outs first.

[Acockolypse Now]

We need these singles from the first batter...

[WithrockB]

Who would of thought Haney would be getting hits and we are still tied at 0-0?
