This whole thing is ********. I think Texas should play each team. we all know miss st got waaaay more ump love than Texas. Ohh well.

Mississippi State gambles and doesn’t throw Bednar and it works out as MSU blows out Vandy in game two 13-2 and sets up deciding game three with both teams aces set to pitch, Bednar on three days rest and Rocker on four, MSU also has fully rested Sims who has already shown he can throw 3 innings in relief. Advantage Bulldogs tonight.

Report: NC State Players Tested Positive for COVID Variant

"We understand the results. Believe me. There’s no questioning the results,” NC State chancellor Randy Woodson said Tuesday. “We understand the gravity of eight players testing positive and the fact that this was the Delta variant, which is super contagious and is quickly emerging in the country as potentially another wave of infection. So we understand. That’s of concern.”

Contagious but not deadly...

Saw a report yesterday that attributes a whopping EIGHT deaths in the UK to the Indian variant...

We are seeing another round of fear-mongering power grabs going on where there will be a focus on cases, never mind the lack of actual harm.

When it kills a good friend it seems pretty deadly to me. Services were today.

This home plate ump is not good. Pitches way inside to left handed batters are being called strikes.

 

[Olehornfan]

Bednar: No hitter through five innings.

 

[SabreHorn]

Kept no/no through 6, but didn't come out for 7th.

Miss State 9
Vandy 0

Just based on these games, Texas was second-best team. They destroyed Vandy

 

[Statalyzer]

Well, as if we didn't already know this, but Bednar and Sims are legit.

That's probably an easy 2 up 2 down if Vandy doesn't get the extra rest. I don't know if the second-best team is Texas or North Carolina St, but it isn't Vanderbilt.

 

[FWHORN]

Bednar was difference again, sometimes just tip your cap at great performance and this is one of those times.

I think Texas and Miss St. are the two best teams that we're at the CWS this year. I think we win against Vandy. If you look at our scores this CWS we were not blown out in our two loses, credit to our pitching staff for keeping us in games.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Yep. If you are going to lose it is best to lose to the eventual champion. Proud of our guys and impressed with MSU.

MSU's first team title here in the year of our Lord 2021.

Sad thing is those kids at NC State wondering from now until whenever about whether they would have taken MissSt. Their depleted, out of position squad had plenty of opportunities to have taken Game 2 and I would have liked to see Game 3 play out..

 

[Creek]

In game 1 with Us and State...That Cumbest hit that was a wind blown fair ball 8 inches from the foul line was the only difference. I believe that is how they scored their runs. It seemed like destiny for them win.
If we played them square up in a 3 game series, I am sure we would win 2 of the 3...pitching Ty, Trevor and Hansen.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

We played them tighter than anyone else. Just a few bounces different.....

I’m so sorry for your loss.

 

[Desperado]

Random fun fact: Just saw where Miss St is one of three schools never to have won a national championship in any team sport. Kansas St and Virginia Tech are the other two.

And then there were two.

Bad news to hear olehorn, so sorry.
