UCLA Looks To Extend The Season Against Cal State Fullerton

Well not much else to say beyond what Ryan wrote in early morning post game re-cap. UCLA Bruins (46-14) have had a terrific baseball season to date but it will all come to a close this evening, if we can't exorcise our Titan ghosts. Trevor Bauer will look to extend UCLA's season for another day against the Titans, who are going to counter with Daniel Renken (12-2, 3.95).
The Bruin offense simply didn't get it done last night, failing to come through in key situations and making unfortunate mistakes. Hopefully they will put that behind him today and do a much better job of executing the little things with the season on the line.
The game will be televised live nationally on ESPN2 and will also feature a live video stream on ESPN3.com. The first pitch is scheduled for this evening at 4:00 pm PST. You can also follow along with GameTracker or get updates on Ryan's UCLA baseball twitter. So might as well thread this as our game thread with updates, thoughts, analysis and anything else.
GO BRUINS.

Great bunt by Amaral!
Gallego scores from 3rd! 2-1 Bruins now in 5th, 1 out, runners at 1st and 2nd.
rally time
bases loaded, 1 out, bruins at bat in the top of the 5th
My two favorite teams are UCLA and whoever is playing $C.
sounds like my beloved sf giants
except we’d ground into a dp to end it, not pop up twice.

wth?
Why are we getting Florida/Miami out here in DC? I thought our game was national.

what is it with the BRUINS v. Fullerton?
wasted at bats with men left on base…oy vey!…we seem to just have stopped hitting altogether…

2-out RBI single for Fullerton.
Tied at 2-2 now.
Delayed steal fails for Fullerton!
End of 5th as the runner was easily tagged out at 2nd.

Geez, that was a 9-minute at-bat for Gelacich.
Anyone following this Dillon Baxter melodrama?
complained about illegal contact by 5 schools, then ‘loses’ his phone?
Yeah, originally...
I was thinking those 5 schools may be in trouble, but now with Baxter’s phone… I’m not so sure anymore.
I do enjoy watching these kids with their warped sense
of loyalty! Kind of like watching a guy stay with his cheating wife to prove how loyal he is….
Kiffin
Pulled same stunts last year. Its a pathetic ploy to make the Trogans into ‘victims.’

I wasn't aware i could despise that school any more than I did
until I saw Kiffie’s and Garrett’s response to the sanctions. They embody everything that is unholy.
as long as we're not on the list...
I’m still laughing at the rats leaving the ship.

comeon Bruins
Let’s not blow this opportunity.

Amaral flies out to end inning.
4-2 Bruins going to the bottom of the 6th.
Inning over
4-2 Bruins mid 6th
"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
Off topic... but the guy who runs Utah's Rivals site...
says Texas A&M is out and the University of Utah is in for the last Pac-10 invite.
that would be sweet....
you should check out this link about A&M (nsfw)
I didn't get the Baylor bear at first....
but once I understood it…that was f’ing hilarious…
ROFL!
This other one, however, is rather simplistic and offensive. I’m talking about the one with UCLA being forced to do something inappropriate to Texas.
With my limited psychology
I think he at least placed us last in the Pac-10 line because of 66-3…..
Utah has better skiing...
who the hell wants to travel to college station?
Strikeout &
Throw to 1st on dropped 3rd strike gets the 2nd out of inning

Dunlap walks to lead off the inning

They couldn't locate that andy gump
anywhere else where it wouldn’t be in the middle of the screen when showing the 1st base runner?
Uribe flies out to end inning
4-2 UCLA mid 7th
"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
Bauer pissed at ump now.
That should’ve been a strike. Instead, guy gets a base hit on the next pitch.
That was a close call.
This staring back by the ump is just B.S. on his part.
2 on for CSF, nobody out.
Ugh. Bauer is not happy.
Double play, but run scores
"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
Wasn't a triple play
but I’ll take the double play
Good Lord....
falling. apart.
Bearing, guys! Bearing.
Damnit, bouncer gets through to RF.
Titans lead 6-4 now.
Wow
Ground ball gets through 2 guys in the infield.
They are just a better coached team
You can disagree with me, but watching them play and the way they make contact with runners on base, bunt successfully, and don’t beat themselves………it is painfully obvious.
Bauer's Done
It was the right decision not to pull him. He was getting dinked and dunked by Fullerton.
Well, I assume he's done
They got out of the inning.
Silly Me
Thought Savage might have figured out a way to beat CAL STATE DISNEYLAND, but no, he couldn’t beat them at Irvine and now same at UCLA .
It’s going to be 3-20 versus these guys IN A DOWN YEAR.
Just about the same feeling as when we punked out against Villanova in hoops a couple of years back.
Except that 'nova was a demonstrably better team throughout the year
Here, not quite so
formerly bruinhoo
The team tanked after Collison was injured near the end
USC, VCU and Villanova were three of the worst offensive performances of the season.

Fullerton brings in pitcher Hernandez...
who was INELIGIBLE for the ENTIRE regular season.
Really?? You let a guy play for ONLY the NCAA Tournament?
By the way
How does a guy get to be academically ineligible but get to pitch in the tourney?
REGIS! It’d be cool if we could get home runs with guys on base.
CSUF's semester ended last month (probably)
If he got sufficient grades in the Spring term, I imagine he could come off of probation
formerly bruinhoo
Most likely.
It still seems a bit shady to pull. Hernandez at least loses a whole year of eligibility with this, right?
It’d be similar to some schools ending their winter quarter right before the NCAA Tournament in basketball, and getting someone who was ineligible all winter to suddenly play in the tourney. (Has that actually ever happened?)
Pretty much
By participating in the tourney, he can’t take this as a redshirt year. Not aware of that happening in the tourney – I think the scheduling works just right to keep that from happening – though I imagine it may be an issue with Football and bowl games.
formerly bruinhoo
Winter Quarter ends right around the Final Four
The schedule might line up just right on occasion. There seems to be more value to redshirting in basketball though, with less players getting drafted and leaving early.
by SuperBruinMan on Jun 12, 2010 7:13 PM PDT up reply actions
It seems like...
those with academic issues in football don’t return for bowl games, even though they take place after fall grades have been entered in the system. But with football, I guess one single player probably doesn’t make that much of an impact enough to burn a whole year on just the bowl game.
I remember Tom Osborne letting Lawrence Phillips back for their bowl game for the national championship, but that was after Phillips had beaten up his girlfriend, and not academics-related.
With basketball, we’ve had players with academic problems in the past, but I can’t ever remember any one of them being ineligible during the season, and then coming BACK to play in the Sweet 16 or Final Four after Winter Quarter was over. We just knew they were done for the year, and that was that.
Another HR by Cody!
Thank God!
"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
And then 3 straight outs after Regis's bomb.
6-5 CSF going to bottom of 8th.
That's not because of roster management issues
That’s because some of the best players are good enough to pitch and hit.
Yeah, I'm just noticing that
roughly 40 guys on the roster. They don’t seem to specialize like they do in the pros
End of the 8th
6-5 CSF, 3 outs remaining for the Bruins

Uribe base hit!
And up comes Cody Regis, who has homered twice today.
CSF pitcher is shaken....
Bruins are stirred
Easy money and faithless women, red-eye whiskey for the pain...
WTF are you all excited?
Savage is still going to blow this.
Ps: I am watching Ferres Bueller’s Day Off.

If we played by the rules we’d be at the gym by now!
by Nestor on Jun 12, 2010 7:34 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
That was awesome!!
So clutch.. let’s hope we can hold on to this lead now!
They were saying...
Hernandez may be their best pitcher on staff.
Best stuff
But UCLA has tagged him two straight days. UCLA’s hitters seem to do better against the hard stuff than the finesse/control pitchers.
Come on, Cody
Hit a 3rd HR for a fellow former Tartan

score, please
my BSPN low def, hi-def, and even freakin’ channelsurfing.net showing other games, dammit!
The results are posted on ncaa.com
just click on see brackets, and then click on the game. It doesn’t update on the balls or strikes, but it’ll tell you want ending, how many outs, and how many’s on the plate.
Regis K's to end inning.
Bottom of the 9th time!
strike out...end of the AB
3 outs away to tomorrow
My two favorite teams are UCLA and whoever is playing $C.
All right, Klein...
Time to close it out.
"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
Batter was drafted by the Royals
Let’s hope he hits like one
I dont like throwing back to the bag this much
throws the pitcher out of rhythm, and of course as I say that a ball in the dirt..
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Geez, another pitch in the dirt.
3-0 count on Colon.
Should have left Grace in there, he was pitching well.
I know Klein is the closer, but he has not been sharp for several weeks.
Pedroza up...
and he’s had two key hits this game already.
You have got to be kidding me
He was out if you catch that
BTW, we replaced catchers...
so that was our backup catcher who had just come in the game.
Heineman's 14th game of the season
Talk about getting your seasoned players in the game when it counts
by SuperBruinMan on Jun 12, 2010 7:49 PM PDT up reply actions
Colon tagged out
Pedroza at third, two outs
Colon tagged out...
in rundown, but Pedroza gets to 2nd during that play.
Colon caught in a rundown going home, hitter advances
…to 3rd. wtf! At least there are 2 outs
formerly bruinhoo
In the present economy...you get more baseball for the money

Thank you, Jeff!

Couldn't track through comments
exactly how they tied it. Assume was when everyone got all pissed, but wasn’t clear what happened (or didn’t happen). Brief explanation?
double steal
throw got away into shallow left, and the guy who stole 3rd came home
Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?
by bucknellbruin on Jun 12, 2010 7:52 PM PDT up reply actions
Bad throw from backup catcher...
to 3rd base allowed the runner on 3rd to score. Argh.
1-3 out
but never saw a pitcher field it off the back before

Baseball question
What happens if a bad throw ends up in the stands?
Dead ball, runners advance 1 base
"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
Niko thought that was ball 4.
Ump disagreed. 3-2 count.
...and What is right behind.
/smartass
In the immortal words of the pin I got while an undergrad: Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
full count, 2 out, top 10

Another pitch near the dirt...
another quick play by the catcher to avoid a passed ball/wild pitch.

Bases loaded, 2 out, Trevor Brown up, pitching change
"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
Trevor Brown to pinch hit.
And CSF is making a pitching change too. #40 is in, didn’t catch his name.
Bases loaded
Please please please Trevor Brown make something good out of this situation.

Fullerton pitcher is Kyle Mertins.
Senior with a 4.79 ERA, 3-2 record.
2 run single by Brown
What a hit coming into this situation
"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
That was our FIRST hit of the game...
with the bases loaded. We had been 0-4 in that situation. What a GREAT time to step up! Way to go, Trevor!
Two runs in!!
Big play!! Bruins were 0-4 with bases loaded before this solid RBI hit to left.

2 more runs come in!

that was a major league play
should make sports center top ten really, that was absolutely fabulous

hyperbole alert...
radio guy screams that it was “the play of the year!!!” …
Easy money and faithless women, red-eye whiskey for the pain...
The full extension was pretty awesome.
He's not retired...THANK YOU!
He was out
He was off the bag. Caught it. Tagged the bag before the runner hit first.
Best I can do...

ya that was the real clutch hit of the game, absolutely no question

Programming Question
ESPN switched with no post game.
Is it really a funny car if someone gets killed?
7pm LA time, correct?
Thanks to my Bruin family for the updates. BN kicks ass over any other sports blog I’ve seen.
In the immortal words of the pin I got while an undergrad: Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
Never had a picture.
That’s why I’m so grateful for the play-by-play here.
In the immortal words of the pin I got while an undergrad: Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
Yes. 7pm.
No idea if ESPN2 will carry it nationwide, though.
Maybe at least the channelsurfing.net feed
will have it. If nothing else, I can rely on BN again like tonight. Would much rather have video along with being on BN, but great to have play-by-play and analysis here.
In the immortal words of the pin I got while an undergrad: Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
Well that was entertaining enough
See you guys tomorrow!
First win ever in the Super Regionals, too
"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
We seem to be pretty okay
down with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, when it matters
And one more day to make money...
A couple hundred thousand more dollars will be raised for the athletic department by the extra game… way to go Bruins.
Anybody know if a trip to the CWS means extra revenue, similar to bowl games in FB?
Easy money and faithless women, red-eye whiskey for the pain...
fight
In the immortal words of the pin I got while an undergrad: Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.

"The true athlete should have character, not be a character."- John Wooden
It actually worked
In the top of the 10th, as the ball was popped into right field, I do my usual routine of screaming “DROP IT”
And he actually did!
We’re looking over our dead dog, Rover,
That we overran tonight (all right!)
One leg is broken, the other is bent,
And in his head, there’s a great big dent.
No need explaining the parts remaining
Are scattered all over the field (next page).
