re: Baseball Thread (46-18, 20-9) I SC vs. Oklahoma State - L 1-3

Team didn't look like it was ready to play today: I wasn't expecting dbl-digit run scores like the final 3 gms of the Regional, but was hoping for more than what we got.

Webb didn't have his A-Game....it was almost like he was too amped up at the start, he was falling behind to every batter throwing ball 1 with every first pitch. He had to scuffle throughout the game to keep it from getting ugly, and he did a solid job of that, but he just had too many baserunners every inning, and it ended up costing him.

I didn't think the Okie St. pitcher was anything super-special: he consistently threw low at the knees and threw nothing but 1st-pitch strikes and jumped ahead of all the Gamecock hitters, like I was hoping Webb would do. But he doesn't have crazy velocity or ball movement, and the Cowboys didn't make a slew of outstanding plays in the fields or stabbing plays on rope liners or throw a ton of dbl-play balls.

They just played solid, error-free baseball. That's pretty much all that the Okie State team did. They didn't give anything cheap to the Gamecocks, didn't help us out with anything. They forced us to make our own plays, TO STEP UP. And we didn't step up. Maybe tomorrow we will, or the season is done....
