Quest For Bru-104: Do Or Die/Game 7 Baseball Open Thread
Here we go.
Bruins are taking on the Titans tonight at Goodwin Field (
The situation is simple. Bruins have to win if they want to stay alive and move on the Super Regionals.
The offense has been clicking this post season. Let’s hope they can put everything together with some clutch pitching and great defense:

mid 1st, 0-0
Bruins led off the game as the designated visiting team. Leadoff hitter reached 1st, next 3 recorded outs.

Lucked out here
UCLA pitchout – catcher overthrows the 2nd baseman, Tim Murphy (playing CF) gets the overthrown ball and throws out the CSUF runner attempting to take third base on the error. 2 down in the bottom of the 1st

Lucked out, but wow...
Unbelievable throw by Murphy!

Wish I could watch
Even if I were inclined, if last night’s game is any guide, the bar w/ESPNU would close/last call around the 5th inning.

But I’m following on the audio feed, and the sound of an HR is so decidedly different for college. Just a small thing…

Runner had to hold to see if it would be caught, otherwise would have scored

Bunt for a hit

Actually a smart play.

by Give me a B... on Jun 2, 2008 9:54 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Red Wings still up 3-2,
but the series goes back to Pittsburgh for game 6.
A Sudden death/elimination game in the cup finals is about as good as it gets, imo (disregarding UCLA/A’s/49ers playing for a title).

Dunlap K's
2 down, Dean still on 2nd. Carrethers hitting.

What's frustrating
Is that we blew a good chance for a stop. CSF alway seems to strike back, and we need to break that cycle.
by Menelaus on Jun 2, 2008 10:21 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It seems to me that
our pitching is giving away much more than CSUF batters are taking for themselves.

Personally
I’d just hit the ump with a pitch after that. What BS!
by Raisin on Jun 2, 2008 10:43 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
That ump
is awful. HBP, ball 4. Both taken away by the ump.
by Raisin on Jun 2, 2008 10:44 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Got a strike out...
He got hit with the ball and ball 4 taken away from the ump.
by dproduct on Jun 2, 2008 10:44 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Well
1-0 pitch hit him, ump decided batter leaned into (poor call, he was leaning away). Made him come back. He took a borderline 3-1 pitch and walked about 5-10 feet before being told it was strike 2. Struck out swinging on the next pitch. The HBP call was utter BS.
by Raisin on Jun 2, 2008 10:46 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ump just cost as a run, at the very least.
by dproduct on Jun 2, 2008 10:47 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Another K.
One bad call changes it from 2 on base with no outs to two outs one on base.
by dproduct on Jun 2, 2008 10:49 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I could never be a manager
I’d have totally lost it at the ump. Whether it’s an elimination game or not.

Stinks that it'll be 6-7-8
in the top of the 9th. Of course Murphy spearheaded the last Bruin rally. Just got to make sure they don’t score here. UCLA scored enough to win if CSUF didn’t score in the bottom of the 8th.

The blown hbp really hurt. Most schools don’t have 3 NCs, much less 3 within a couple of months. It’s still great to be a Bruin.

Great game
unfortunately we got the short end of the stick… a few pitching errors plus a few bogus calls (hbp, strikes) but couldn’t have asked more from the Bruins against a talented CSUF team in an elimination game. Gotta give it to our boys for a competative game and season! Go Bruins!
by mdcbruin on Jun 2, 2008 11:37 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
A disappointing season
there is no other way to put it. This team underachieved. They played solidly this weekend and showed they had the talent to play with one of the nation’s top teams, but errors, walks and mental mistakes killed them. I’ll have a season review later in the week and I’ll take a look at what to watch for in the offseason. What I do know now is Crawford and Murphy are both gone next season.
Thursday is the draft so you may want to check on how the Bruin recruits fare in the draft. Some names to keep an eye on: Gerrit Cole, Tyler Chatwood, Cutter Dykstra, Clark Murphy, Chris Amezquita and Tyler Rahmatulla.
