Vandy totally got robbed on that call. Fortunately for them they seem to be able to get on base at will and their pitcher is rolling.

I really, really don't want Vandy to repeat because I want us to be the most recent team to pull that off for as long as possible (four years is just too short). But I also don't want Florida to finally win their first title.

Well get ready for it. We're a much better team than last year, and UVA struggled their way into the CWS to begin with.

Also we just got a monster class in, so we're getting better!

Well let's get this started. If Vandy's bats don't kill UVA, I imagine the lack of pitching depth will, series will be over real quick if Jones doesn't go at least 7 tonight.

When your campus is a World Heritage Site it makes total sense to dress like you're fresh out of a tree stand.

Will say though, out of all the athletes I tutored, the baseball guys were far and away the most country of any sport. Golf was a very distant second.

The only consolation is that Vandy's are somehow just as bad or worse. Vandy's uniforms: brought to you by the SS.

Dansbey "ESPN's storyline" Swanson won't last all game. Virginia's come from behind like every win so far, so it's not over yet.

Swanson probably will since he's at SS; Fulmer won't, but Kyle Wright is a lights-out closer. It'd actually be nice to keep the game close enough to make Wright pitch, at least, to maybe rule him out for the next.

Whoops, yeah, that's who I meant.

Honestly I think the ump has made a big difference on this game, calling a ton of very very questionable strikes on both sides. That makes it much easier on pitchers and tougher on batters.

Edit: NOW it's over.

also no way Fulmer isn't going back out for the 8th. With this lead and his talent there's just no way.

It's more that plus the big star, even if it's not the Star of David.

Either way, awful awful uniforms. (Not that UVA is any better)

Difference in pitching depth so much on display here, Vandy could go to their weakest acceptable bullpen arm to finish that inning, and if he couldn't get it done there were 3 or 4 more like him waiting. Meanwhile UVA has no one after Sborz, so they can't keep the game close enough to make Vandy actually burn someone important.

Oddly I think the only team from that side of the bracket that UVA might've matched up with is LSU; Vandy, TCU, and even Fullerton with just way too many arms for a three-game set.

edit: Really wish we could've seen that side of things without the Fullerton-Vandy rain delay. Eshelman would've likely kept that lead, and everything would've been way more interesting.

Depends if Kirby can give any meaningful innings. Either way probably not enough to make a difference, but then UVA was never supposed to get this far in the first place, so even as a fan it's hard to get mad at them for running low on championship-caliber pitchers.
