Ole Miss under Mike Bianco is 1-8 in games that wound have sent them to the CWS

 

Good times

Look at it this way. He's the leading candidate to become LSU's next coach.

UVA opted for Savino to get this critical start. He was arguably the top prep pitcher in the 2020 class, probably even more highly touted than Vasil the year before. Stuff is still power lefty stuff, able to hit mid-90's (although i've seen games where he was more 92/93) with some late action on the fb, decent-solid slider, and changeup. UVA coaches have been careful with him, since COVID impacted his first year, and he went to UVA the spring of his senior season (graduated early). Wasn't in the weekend rotation until midseason. Pitches a lot more to contact now.

Savino only 89-91 on the ESPN gun (which admittedly is fairly erratic, but it shouldn't be off by that much). Slider looks decent, not plus, but he located it against Benefield. Had two ground balls to start that found holes.

 

Savino should be back for another year as a weekend starter and working on getting stronger, a bit more velocity, and sharpening up the slider. He's an intriguing raw talent right now. I don't love the 3/4 arm slot, almost side-arm slinging it, and I wonder if a pro team will ask him to make the transition Daniel Lynch made and go more over the top.

Fantastic win for UVA. I would not have expected this mid-season. 5-2 over DBU. DBU went to their closer early, after Eldred was pulled. Gaither has good stuff.

 

UVA got a long ball from Nic Kent, and then loaded it up for Kyle Teel's grand slam. I cannot fathom what they were thinking in that pitch sequence. Three breaking balls that Teel was seeing well (he crouched down to watch one in). An average fastball chest high, and then they tried another breaking ball that Teel hammered.

 

Savino got pulled early after giving up a 2 run shot to Jackson Glenn. I have Lynch vibes there - a guy who is good, but never unlocks his full potential until the pros. Wyatt was dominant. If that Wyatt shows up next year, that might be a first round pick. 93-96 fastball with a good silder. Of course, this Wyatt also failed to get out of the first against Liberty in a weekday start this year.

 

Pitching can surprise in the CWS and UVA has the pitching. It'll be a tough road - I feel like the bottom bracket has more offense, but they just beat two big time offenses in ODU and DBU.

Tough way for Arizona to finish the year - getting to Rocker, but losing in extras and then just not executing enough against Stanford. That was a damn good lineup, and I thought they would have enough to make a run.

 

NC State's lack of pitching depth is protected in the CWS now that they have won the first two. They'll be able to rest up, and if they are pushed to a 4th game, Highfill can come back.

 

Going to be some interesting matchups today. Tennessee vs. Texas to stay alive, and then Griff McGarry and UVA versus a tremendous top of the order for Mississippi State and a good lefty in MacLeod (who has admittedly stumbled the last three outings against good offenses ... he was fairly consistent all year, with hiccups against Arkansas and Vanderbilt, and then he struggled the last three times out against VCU, Notre Dame, and Tennessee).

 

If UVA ends up facing NC State, it'll be a funny little rejoinder on all the ACC sucks so Notre Dame is overrated comments during the season. I'm not willing to go that far yet on picking UVA (NC State is obviously in the driver's seat in their side). Have to see which McGarry we get tonight.

-Freshman lead off hitter for the Rebs has some really nice ABs including a rocket line drive HR to lead off the game. He also took a full count outside pitch and punched it out into left center for a couple of RBI. Kid might be a player.

 

Yes, he’s outstanding. Freshman All-American SS. Jacob Gonzalez.

 

.355/.443/.561, 12 HR, 16 2B and 55 RBI coming out of the SEC at SS as a true freshman is quite the line.

 

Looks ready for AAA

Speaking of IU, they eliminated the regular season champs Maryland today and are one of the 4 finalists in the B1G tournament (Indiana, Iowa, Rutgers, Michigan). And they are getting ready to play Rutgers in like 11 minutes. 12:53am EST first pitch. Big Ten baseball after dark!

And a horrible start for IU...yikes!!! First 5 batters reach and it's already 3-0 with nobody out yet.

Yeah that game was not pretty lol. IU's starting pitcher had a 10.53 ERA for the season, did not exactly send our best out there. Rutgers lineup looks like a murderer's row based on BA, almost all of them were over .300 and some in the .370 to .390 range. :shock:

The best part was they tied it at 22 on a balk. And Beres was strictly a bullpen catcher before this season.

 

Of course, the same two teams played 45 minutes later and UCLA blew the game by dropping an infield pop up in the 9th. :|

Hate that ump in the clip above. Lots of entertaining college baseball games happening right now and I hope the ratings are up.

 

What the actual hell? Player touches an ump he's immediately tossed. But the umps can push a player who is "gasp" watching their homer?
