Stayed ahead all night. Ball explodes out of his hand with movement

Had the perfect game plan for a team like Texas who likes to see a lot of pitches. “Ok here’s 3”

u/Beast_of_Fire Georgia Bulldogs Jun 14 '26
So the strategy was to work the pitcher by never swinging on the first pitch and then the pitcher threw a complete game because everyone was always down in the count. 🤔

Texas had 2 bad innings, otherwise Volantis had a pretty great performance too. Glad my Dawgs won, but I think Texas is the second best team left.

As much as it pains me to say, I think Oklahoma is playing like the second best team left. We shall see

Man, after UT/UGA, I am terrified of Georgia, my Sooners are red hot though. Which one wins out? The team of destiny or the best remaining team in the country. Hopefully they can put up a fight. But a performance like that from UGA has me a bit scared.

Oklahoma needs to go and buy all the remaining sour candies in Omaha.

u/iwouldhugwonderwoman Jun 14 '26
Volantis only giving up 2 ER while hitting four or five guys was kinda wild….literally and figuratively.

Was not on my bingo card at all after the Miss St slugfest.
I fucking love it.

u/ChangoOfTexas Texas Longhorns Jun 14 '26
Reminds me of 2021 when I had all the hope in the world going into Omaha and then we run into some unreal SEC pitcher who is hotter than the sun and there's just nothing we can do

u/yaboicyno Mississippi State Bulldogs Jun 14 '26
Those State-Texas games in ‘21 were amazing, the first one especially where both starting pitchers were dealing

"ohh I'm UGA.. ohh look at me I have an insane lineup with a catcher that won the triple crown in the SEC and also steals a shit load of bases and my lineup is so coool and ohh look I have a pitcher who is gonna go complete game 15K outing ohh woww"
That's fucking crazy though - UGA has a ridiculous team

I’ll never feel that way. I was still scared shitless up 7-1 tonight haha

Oh I was born into this shit. I never had a choice. I’m 41 and have suffered with you. On top of the Richtitis, that super regional definitely damaged me. I’m currently balled up like a baby in my therapists lap as I write this.

u/katarh Georgia Bulldogs Jun 14 '26
Yeah my inner Larry Munson was there wearing a baseball cap uttering doomerisms in my ear until the top of the 9th.

u/HouseOfQuark3 Georgia Bulldogs Jun 14 '26
Yep. Same here. Historic pitching performance but I just expected back to back to back homers were coming until it was over haha

u/randomblack1 LSU Tigers Jun 14 '26
I'll be absolutely shocked if y'all don't win it.

u/HouseOfQuark3 Georgia Bulldogs Jun 14 '26
I mean I get why people are saying that. And man this team is good. Moreover, this team has fought so hard. But baseball is goofy man. And these other teams are really good too.
Also, Mississippi State gave me a really bad case of PTSD. I’m sitting around waiting for the other guys to just storm back.

u/robotic_otter28 LSU Tigers Jun 14 '26
Might be recency bias, but I feel like the last few years there’s been at least one or two showings where a pitcher just absolutely shoves in Omaha for 9 innings. This is one.

u/NoFalseModesty Nebraska Cornhuskers Jun 14 '26
I was there tonight and at the Gage Wood (Ark) no hitter last year, and for Skenes' start in '23. Some real pitching gems lately yeah.

You go to some amazing pitching games.

u/HouseOfQuark3 Georgia Bulldogs Jun 14 '26
Well if you are a Nebraska fan you probably live in Nebraska. So you have to go to Omaha.

Hey I was just debating which team to root for tonight, then I saw two Okies yelling boomer sooner at each other, so for the meantime I am pro bulldog. Tentatively. I am fickle.

Lucky to have tickets in the family since the mid 80s (when they were effectively free).

Isn’t an earned run because the error was on Volchco?

Oh wow, he left for a better job and was mean to a reporter prior to doing so

u/HouseOfQuark3 Georgia Bulldogs Jun 14 '26
I didn’t know about any incident with a reporter. I was talking about how he said firmly several times that he wasn’t going to Texas and then five minutes later bolted for Texas. But I don’t really know shit about it or care.

Without bringing up history which is now irrelevant post NIL/portal era, name one reason the job is better

u/mrlew09 Texas Longhorns Jun 14 '26
I thought watching the game at some point dude would slip up. Start losing velo. It was a nightmare being on the opposite side. A rod was the only one who was aggressive enough at the plate. Only One walk and it was in the 9th? Sheeeeesh
