Shox versus Noles (Game 1)

[haysdb]

The home plate umpire is giving some room on both sides of the plate. Quite a bit of room on the outside in fact and Rob has been taking advantage of it, while working inside just enough to keep hitters honest.

Dirks: HIT!@!!!!!

KWJ SCORES
DIRKS DOUBLE

3-1! !! ! ! FREAK

That would be 30 straight!

[Shoxfan11]

3-1 baby!

Forget the small ball!

[SB Shock]

2 for 2 on leaving runners in scoring position = mortal sin.

I don't know why WSU trying to play small ball early in the game. Small ball is not going to beat FSU.

Why wouldn't you play small-ball? You've gotta do anything you can to get a lead on the #4 team in the country on their home turf,

What would getting the lead do? Is Gene then going to put the team in a four corners and run the clock out? You really think that means anything to FSU offense?

Your giving out outs to to team that one weakness seems to be their pitching. There is a time and place for bunting, the 2nd inning is not quite that time yet.

Don't forget, T-Web is also not um...fleet of foot...so staying out of the DP was probably a factor in the decision.

Or you could let him just hit a 2 run HR.

Go T-Webb!!!!!!!!

Well don't you look all Mr. Smarty Pants now :O

LOL, it's all good.

[JaminShock]

30-game hit streak for Dirks...

Is it overkill to mention that he got hosed for Valley POY?

[ShockerFever]

Andy Freakin' Dirks.

Keep it goin.

Come on Jonesy. You're effing due.

[haysdb]

With the dirt basepaths (slower than turf) and Posey behind the plate, I doubt we'll be running much this weekend.

Now 2-1 Shockers. Weber got a high fastball, inner half, and he didn't miss it!

[JaminShock]

Andy Freakin' Dirks.

Keep it goin.

Come on Jonesy. You're effing due.

He does have a base hit today.

[Rosewood]

RJ up, 0-2 count.

Works it full

[Rosewood]

Their pitcher just got drafted to the Marlins. Go ahead and pull him and get him on the train :O

[shockerfan1]

Keep the momentum shox. You guys are starting to look good now. Keep it up while you can

[Rosewood]

RJ: Pops it up to left

WSU 3 to 1 after 3 and a half

[WuDrWu]

By the way Tyler, chicks dig the long ball.

[ShockerFever]

Andy Freakin' Dirks.

Keep it goin.

Come on Jonesy. You're effing due.

He does have a base hit today.

I meant for a ribbie.

Good inning shox. I will be satisfied with scoring at least 3 runs while keeping the opponent at 0. I guess if I have to.
