re: Kade Anderson > Gage Wood

Lol. Kade became the 3rd pitcher to pitch a complete game shutout in the CWS finals. Gage did it in the loser bracket game. Huge difference. One performance was to get one step closer to a championship. The other was to play another elimination game.

The question isn’t what game will ultimately mean more, no question Anderson shutting down CCU will end up meaning more. But nobody can downplay what Wood did against at least a top 8 team right? How many appearances did Anderson have this year? Were any of them against teams that didn’t make it to Omaha? Did he throw a no hitter against any of those teams ranked 8 or lower?

People will remember Gage. People wont remember Kade...

The only way that happens is if he has a better MLB career. Good luck with that Gage.

No one is putting down what Gage did. To compare that performance and say it is better than what Kade did is the dumbest thing ever. Gage did it against Murray State. Their first time ever in Omaha. They were a 4 seed and had 44 wins on the season.

Kade did it against Coastal Carolina who had the most wins in college baseball and the longest winning streak ever for a team going into the CWS championship. Simply put, Kade had the better performance.

If Gage did that UCLA, it might have been more impressive. It was an elimination game. Not to give his team one win closer to a championship.

Really…I’m not trying to split hairs here but let’s look at what’s put before us. I’m not going to dig through the research but I’m sure somewhere Anderson had a start against a lesser team than one that made the CWS and didn’t throw a complete game no no???Again not to take away from what he did tonight, it was brilliant but he still gave up 3 hits and didn’t strike out 18, mostly on fastballs that the hitters knew were coming and still couldn’t do shite at the plate, 19 if you go by the official rules. Weigh apples to oranges all you want, ride the wave of winning the CWS bc eventually tomorrow or Monday you will. But you can’t honestly think tonight was more dominate than Woods performance. Anderson hit two, maybe three, I can’t remember….walked one or two. There were times it looked like Jay might make the call. DVH never questioned Wood…take it as you will

True. And people will remember the national champions and forget who came in 3rd.

Your comment has zero to do with what said. People will know the winner, if LSU wins, but won't remember Kade, but people will remember Gage because of what he did. Sorry I made you cry.

Gage had a wonderful performance. Highlight of his collegiate career. Comparing the 2 is definitely apples to oranges. One was on the biggest stage of the season. The other was an elimination game against a team that had never been to Omaha before. The other team has won a NC and a 26 game winning steak.

Kade walked some batters and the strike zone was very inconsistent for both pitchers. Jay had no intention of taking him out. Kade threw 20 pitches total in the 7th and 8th inning. If Jay was going to take him out, he would have done so in the 7th.

Kade performance was better for the meaning of it. I would say the same thing if it was reversed. If Kade had a no hitter in an elimination game and Gage threw a complete game 3 hit shutout in Game 1 of the CWS Finals, I would say Gage has better performance.

Both were amazing performances. Let's leave it at that.

So I'm sensitive and reactive because I'm not agreeing with you? Or is it that I'm pointing out how retarded your remarks are so that's the best comeback you can come with because you know I'm right?

Ah. The Steroid monster teams.
