Woo hoo!   Just broke out a whole can of meh. 

Last weekend left a bad taste that will be hard to overcome.

The softball ladies will be busy, so it will have to be the baseball team, unfortunately

Getting interesting...5-3 in the top of the 9th.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Buzz Killington on May 19, 2015, 08:54:42 PM
Whew!  Good guys win it 6-3!
Next up...LSU.  It was a nice run.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Pell City Tiger on May 19, 2015, 08:56:25 PM
The Tigers hold on for a 6-3 win. This puts us at 35-22 and should be enough to make a regional.

We play LSU tomorrow!

If the swim or equestrian team shows up, we are screwed indeed. The lacrosse team would give us a remote shot though.

I think we should just say screw it and send one of these.

Holy crap what a 1st inning! Auburn tags LSU for 5 runs to open it up.

2 more innings like that and I believe we'll advance!
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Pell City Tiger on May 20, 2015, 07:43:29 PM
LSU responds with 3 runs in the 2nd.

Auburn leads 5-3 in the top of the 3rd.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Pell City Tiger on May 20, 2015, 07:52:28 PM
Auburn adds 2 more runs in the 3rd and builds a 7-3 lead. We're still batting with 1 out in the inning.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Pell City Tiger on May 20, 2015, 07:53:55 PM
Going to the bottom of the 3rd now up 7-3.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Pell City Tiger on May 20, 2015, 07:59:51 PM
Top of the 4th, Auburn is up 7-3.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Pell City Tiger on May 20, 2015, 08:09:21 PM
We add another in the 4th to pad the lead.

Auburn is on top 8-3 going to the bottom of the 4th.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: djsimp on May 20, 2015, 08:12:21 PM
Watching it too. AU has shown up at the plate and fielding.  Grier had one heck of a catch too.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: djsimp on May 20, 2015, 08:12:50 PM
Fixna be the first and LSU still held at 3
Title: Re: SEC Tournament

Bottom of the 5th and Auburn holding on to the 8-3 lead.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: djsimp on May 20, 2015, 08:28:15 PM
LSU in a rally. 8-4 with runners at 2nd and third. 5 errors b/w both teams. AU going to the bullpen. LSU already has.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Pell City Tiger on May 20, 2015, 08:43:38 PM
8-7 now, with 2 outs in the inning.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament

LSU takes the lead 9-8.

Disastrous inning.

We're hitting them good though.

Auburn needed that last out to keep LSU from scoring again. If anything, Auburn needs one score this at bat.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: djsimp on May 20, 2015, 09:18:26 PM
Damn. What a waste. Left 2 man on.

Going to the 8th down 9-8.

Bottom of the order for Auburn.

Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Pell City Tiger on May 20, 2015, 09:40:16 PM
Left another runner in scoring position. Took a called 3rd strike to end the inning.

We head to the bottom of the 8th down 9-8. LSU's 8-9-1 hitters are due up.

We head to the 9th still down 1 run.

Our 2-3-4 hitters are up.

Good news, 3 up 3 down. AU still has top of the line up.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament

A valiant effort but we come up short.

We'll play the loser of the game coming up in the elimination game tomorrow.

That still sucked.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Snaggletiger on May 20, 2015, 10:01:33 PM
GAWT DAMN, I'm sick of umpires who have no fucking clue what a strike is.  Our final at bat.  2 outs.  Runner on second and this piece of shit calls two strikes on the batter, including the last one, that weren't within a foot of the strike zone.  Not even in the same area code.  Even the announcers said he got the benefit.  The benefit?  It was a call an 8th grader could have made.

Look, we just stopped hitting after the 5th.  Just quit.  But it was down to nutt cutting....and I know nutt cutting.  You can't have a down's syndrome ump behind the plate.  Fucking pathetic.  Awful.

Title: Re: SEC Tournament

A two run pop up lost in the lights was the difference.  That just sucks.
Title: Re: SEC Tournament
Post by: Pell City Tiger on May 20, 2015, 10:05:27 PM
We need a power hitter something awful. The thing that pisses me off is the number of times we stand at the plate and take called 3rd strikes.

W.T. Benefield would have run us to death back in the day at Pell City for this.

I agree and I'm not saying we didn't screw our own pooch.  We did.  But in that situation....with that on the line...you can't make a call on a 3rd strike that a Major League umpire would be reprimanded for.  That came within 2 inches of his thigh.  It wasn't even a questionable pitch.  It was a just stand up and say "Baaaalll" pitch.  That ball needed binoculars to even see the plate from that distance.

Yeah, I'm pissed. It's your job to call pitches that either are or ARE NOT over the plate.  He just wanted to hear the LSU fans roar and be the hero.  Fuck him.

The same way I felt about him the night before against UK when they brought in this sidewinding reliever that threw nothing but worm-burners that never got above a batter's ankles.  SteeeeeeRIKE TWO.....

Don't get hasty. Golloway had a good enough year that we need to make his buyout worth a few more million. It's the smart business move.

No worries. Astronomical buyouts are an Auburn tradition.  Right up there with Tiger Walk and Toomer's Corner.

Sunny may have us in a regional, but there is something about him I do not like. He has some games where he looks like the best coach in the country and others where he just shits the bed. I know me not liking him isn't grounds to firing him but it should be.

WTF! I leave the keys in your hands so I can improve my book learnin' and you bastards let this happen?

I had a feeling immediately after the game last night that we would shit the bed today. I knew it.

We're in a regional - of this I'm 92.4% certain. There's no real difference in being the 2 seed or a 3 seed; you open with the same opponent but occupy a different dugout. We'll know for sure where that dugout will be on Monday.

Mitch Gaspard had best send Sunny Golloway a fucking Christmas card this year, along with a gift card to Ruth Chris, Texas de Brazil or some shit. Without that series a couple of weeks ago, those bastards would have tied Georgia for last place, would not have made the SECT, and would not be in consideration for an at large slot in a regional.

A legit shot at winning the conference and giving us a big boost toward Omaha down the tubes because of the inexcusable inattention of one of our own. Thanks a lot PCT. I hope your class on improving internet skills was worth it.
