CWS Cal State Fullerton v. Vanderbilt

[BraskyMan]

Peterson says, CSF wins, if the game were not postponed. Hmm! How does he know?

YOU NEVER KNOW!

Mom sure is ecstatic!

I didn't get to see the resumption of the game today, but I'm inclined to agree with him. If it wasn't suspended, CSF has the momentum and Vandy had no answer for Eshelman. Eshelman was going to go beyond 5.2 innings and then you're not asking Peitzmeier to save 3 innings. Though break for CSF and hate to see a game influenced by a postponement in the CWS.

If so, but you never know. Sadly, the gods of the clouds crapped on csf. :wave: bye bye, Titans

Today, in the 9th, Vandy managed to put 2 on, after struggling all day at the plate. Who is to say, he is relieved in the 9th, and the same reliever comes in and gives them a 3-run hr, in the earlier game, yesterday?

One never knows.

I don't disagree with what you say. However, the Vandy coach used the rain delay to convince his players that they were in a whole new game. They had a much better mindset on Monday than they did on Sunday.

Again though, I'll emphasize there is a big difference between asking Peitzmeier to get 3 vs 9 outs. In your scenario, sure he could have entered in the 9th and struggled, but the fewer innings I'm asking my reliever to go, the better I like the chances. Plus, just getting Eshelman out of the game provides a huge psychological boost; they had nothing for him.

No doubt, it was very beneficial for Vandy. And in many respects, it is a different game.
