BASEBALL 2010 LA REGIONAL DAY 3 v UC-I 4pm, v UCLA 8pm

​

No really, that's UCI's new logo. How much you think they payed for that?​

​

​

Didn't catch most of the game while at a wedding last night, and my head is pounding, but here's a few things that stick out.​

​

Ranaudo's pitch count was well over 100 and the 10 K's are nice, but those 2 solo shots make me worry that he's still got lingering control issues that I had hoped he had gotten over last week. Again didn't see it so not sure on that. ​

​

In fact, Ranaudo and Bauer's lines are pretty similar, and we only left 6 on compared to UCLA's 8. How high is Gaudet's K count gonna get this year? He passed 50 weeks ago. ​

​

No motivation should be needed today, it's win or go home for the next 3 games. That's a difficult path, but we've done it before. In fact, we did it the last time we traveled for the regional at A&M, hostile Aggie crowd and all. Long day ahead, and I don't want to wrap up the season this week.​

​

Starting pitchers: Bradshaw likely for GM1, then CPM has some tough choices to make. I'll update when i hear official starters.

​

Weather: you know already


TV: Cox Sports on the tube, 98.1 on the dial, ESPN3.com on the interwebs (if you are out of the blackout region).
​

 

yeah, poor guys. those people sure don't deserve that weather.
i was in merced, ca doing work, when a lady hits my rental car from behind. while waiting for the cops, we chatted. looking up at the sky with no clouds...me-"does it ever rain here?"
her-" oh Yeah!! it rained last month!"

 

what the hell is that?:huh:

im in a bad mood still.

 

The Irvine AD probably just had his secretary draw it up on MS Paint real quick
​

 

Question: Why is Gaudet still in the lineup? Is Watkins still too hurt to bat 4 times a game? Does Dozar's bat suck that bad? Is Deslatte that ****ty? I can't take many more strikeouts from Gaudet, it's killing us.

 

19 HRs, good enough for 3rd in the SEC. it's feast or famine with him, and unfortunately we haven't been eating lately (also 3rd in the SEC in Ks)

 

And, he can't even bunt.

 

He can change the game in 1 swing, that's why he's in there.

 

I'm pretty excited about today. We can beat Irvine again! Then we get to play UCLA tonight and tomorrow. What's the real advantage for winning last night? ONE less game. That's all. ONE less. Out guys have played two games in a day before. No big deal.

GEAUX TIGERS!

 

I've never understood why we would have to play 2 games today and why UCLA has to play one. There are 4 teams, Kent State is already eliminated, LSU is 1-1, UCI is 1-1, and UCLA is 2-0. Shouldn't logic dictate that the winner of the game between the two 1-1 teams should go to the finals where the 2-0 team already is? Hell, even if UCLA loses tonight it doesn't change anything they are in the regional finals no matter what. So what's the point in making them play the extra game?
