Utah Valley: Game 1 Thread

[Carolina4]

Olson strikes out looking with runners on 1st and 2nd.

Headed to the T2, 0-0.

 

[Carolina4]

B3, 0-0. Mlodzinski looking much more comfortable out there today. Need to get him some runs now.

 

[Carolina4]

B3, On the corners with 1 out. Hopkins at bat.

 

[jonesz21]

Accept we are ave at best in all sports and you will be happier

 

[Carolina4]

Hopkins K’s but Berryhill hits a 2 out, 2-run double! 2-0 Gamecocks, with Berryhill still on 2nd.

I accept that it's February and none us know how good this team will be.

 

[Carolina4]

Now 4-0 Gamecocks. Cullen AB with runner on 1st.

If I were a Gamecock fan for all the championships I would’ve stopped caring a long time ago. Gotta learn to just be a fan.

 

[Carolina4]

Brady Allen with another 2-out RBI double. 2nd and 3rd, Neville at the plate. 5-0 Gamecocks.

 

[Carolina4]

Neville goes down swinging. Headed to T4, 5-0.

 

[carolinamyke]

Good start !

 

[Carolina4]

Spoke too soon. Mlodzinski has lost control. Bases loaded as he walks a batter on 4 pitches. Only 1 out. Needs to find a way to get out of it.

Still 5-0. Up to 62 pitches. Was cruising before this.

 

[Carolina4]

Gets a double play ball but Neville drops it. Dang. Should’ve been 5-0 headed to the B4. Nope...

5-1 now, still loaded, still only 1 out. Still no hits so far in this inning. All walks and an error.

 

[Carolina4]

ANOTHER walk. 5-2. Still no hits this inning. 5 walks and an error. Somehow he’s still in there...

 

[Carolina4]

And a BALK with a 1-2 count. What the hell? 5-3 now, 2nd and 3rd. Finally gets the strikeout for out #3.

No hits in that inning. All unearned. Can’t have innings like that. Gotta make teams hit the baseball. Up to 81 pitches now which means we’ll use up some arms on Friday again.

5-3 going B4.

 

[Carolina4]

Bases Loaded for us now with Berryhill at bat. No outs!

 

[Carolina4]

Berryhill plunked. 6-3. Still juiced with no outs. Pitching change.

 

[Carolina4]

Olson greets the new pitcher with a first pitch double. 2 more runs score. 2nd and 3rd, o puts.

 

[FORKCOCK]

9-3 Cocks bases loaded Bot 4th

 

[jeff2001]

Berryhill is very patient at the plate.

 

[jeff2001]

M-Ski pitches 4 innings, but cant get the win. But the next guy can pitch 1 inning and get the win.

 

[jeff2001]

Wow, down 9-3 and the dude swings at a 3-0 pitch and pops it up.....lol

 

[jeff2001]

Kerry has been the best pitcher so far.

 

[Conway Gamecock]

Utah Valley eating through pitchers like they were made of chocolate....will bode well for the Gamecocks, for the rest of the series...

I think our own staff tried to leave Mlodzinski out there for as long as he could stay, to 1) try to get him to earn the decision, and 2) save our own BP as much as possible. Responding to their 3-run T4 with our 4-run B4 helped there. But Mlod just couldn't find the strike zone to save his life.....

 

[jeff2001]

Nick Neville , say it 5 times fast.

 

[jeff2001]

Gamecock with another TD pass.
14-3.

 

[Carolina4]

I had to step away at 9-3. Back for the Campbell homer.

Too early in the season to worry about using up the bullpen...on the contrary, this is when you want to use them to see who you can depend on cone conf play. I am more worried about our fri starter than the pen. Hasn't lasted 5 innings in 3 starts. May want to do the whole opener strategy on Friday nights if he can't pitch deep. Tell him he has 1 turn thru the lineup, then yank him, put in a totally different style pitcher.

Still 5-0. Up to 62 pitches. Was cruising before this.

He didn't look very relaxed.

 

[jimnasium]

Utah Valley's uniforms must be throw backs I wore that in 1972.

 

[Conway Gamecock]

Wesley Sweatt is the new Gamecock pitcher in for Kerry to start the top 7th. He retires the side around a single, with two strikeouts and a groundout. Wesley looks over at the Utah Valley dugout, points and says, I don't Sweatt you!"....

 

[jeff2001]

14-3. Bases loaded and no outs Bot 8.

 

[jeff2001]

I'm in the on Deck Circle.

 

[jimnasium]

I liked Kerry he throws strikes not much movement on the fastball but I'm watching online and ain't trying to hit it so.......

 

[coolcock2001]

14-3. Bases loaded and no outside. Bot 8.
