*****Official Regional Games Thread. #2 IOWA vs #3 N. Carolina at #14 Overall Seed Indiana St (Terre Haute) Regional (June 4, 11 am CT, ESPN+) *****

[AuroraHawk]

It took Maryland 229 pitches and 7 pitchers to get through 8 innings. Ouch!

Those are crazy numbers.

 

[justinjdry]

Any chance for a link today?

 

[DTP2]

What is the point of the seeds if the lower seed gets to bat second? So dumb.

 

[justinjdry]

Not a good start...Ty takes a shot to his arm and bases loaded already in the 1st inning.

 

[justinjdry]

Sure is quiet in here. I take it you all are at church?

 

[justinjdry]

Phew. That was close but we got out of that jam with no runs scored.

Pray for the Hawkeyes while you're at it!

Get two on and then strikeout as usual.

Iowa BAU commencing.

We can only avoid playing like we're facing a bottom feeder MVC team on a Wednesday so that means forget everything they know about baseball, for so long..............

 

[DTP2]

Do we have a two out rbi since first inning of Game 1?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

You can say what you want about the relief pitching, but the Iowa offense channeling their inner Brian Ferentz has been the biggest disappointment in the Regional to this point.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Come on Iowa, keep hitting the ball to the other team so you can go home early!!!

 

[GeorgePeeples]

YES. HR.
Iowa 4-2 lead.

 

[Scott559]

Boom 😎

 

[DTP2]

Finally!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

That's a good start at least.

[ssckelley]

Thanks for the advice everyone, I see the "show ignored content" now.

I love how Iowa comes back right after they were singing this freshman pitcher praises.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Let's see if Iowa can maintain a 4-2 lead this time!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Score. More. Runs........

 

[AuroraHawk]

Having the announcers comment from remote locations sure does lead to some really odd reactions…

“That ball is crushed …”. Ball wouldn’t have made the warning track. (Rolling my eyes)

 

[AuroraHawk]

Score. More. Runs........

Bring back Ty for one more inning?

 

[AuroraHawk]

Flipping get Sam Peterson a new set of spikes!!!

 

[Mitch122]

Is NC catcher’s “squat” driving anyone else nuts?

 

[AuroraHawk]

Interesting decision to catch fly ball in foul territory when batter has 0-2 count. An argument could be made …

 

[BigOHawk]

Would Obermueller throw tonight?

 

[GolfHacker1]

Would Obermueller throw tonight?

I think it's very possible.

 

[AuroraHawk]

Well … if that’s the last game for Ty as a Hawkeye, he couldn’t have gone out on a better note.

Been a ton of fun watching “Big Game Ty” lead Urbandale to two state titles and evolve into a great Hawkeye pitcher.

(Standing) (Clapping)

 

[AuroraHawk]

I think it's very possible.

C’mon guys … that talk is premature!! (Wink)

Wouldn’t Savary be the likely choice with Obermueller the Monday choice?

 

[AuroraHawk]

JFC. Ravech still thinks that Hojnar turned an unassisted DP in Game 1. WTF?

 

[AuroraHawk]

Who’s it going to be?
Whitlock?
Christopherson?

I would’ve thought Whitlock would be saved for tonight … if there is a tonight.

EDIT: Whoa. Didn’t see another inning for Ty.

Hooray for getting outs without throwing in the strikezone!
