Most of the time...
I can’t say that I agree with that statement. But today…well, you get the picture.

Thanks, skigator. We'll do our best. I hate that we can't meet in the championship series.

I think the key top this game...
will be Carolina getting on the board first. If we can do that it will let our guys play loose and put the pressure on Clemson. And as we all know, Clemson isn’t known for playing well under pressure.

Off to a good start.
USC plates a run in the top of the first. Now to see how our pitching will be tonight.

Clemson goes down 1-2-3.
Did anybody catch how many pitches he threw? I Couldn’t have been more than 7. Good start.

Double play to end the inning.

2-0 Gamecocks after 2.

If you’re counting, that’s only his 3rd of the year.

That marks the half-way point.
SC leads 4-1 after 4.5 innings.
We need Roth to keep it up for at least 6 more outs. If we can get 6 innings out of him we’ll be in a good position for the last 3 innings.

Roth is looking tired.
Maybe just 5 innings is a more reasonable request.

Agreed.
I think he can still get out of this inning. Start someone else next inning?
by Cocky, Esq. on Jun 25, 2010 10:33 PM EDT up reply actions
I think Tanner will put him out there and see what happens.
After Roth the bullpen gets pretty weak pretty fast. Price isn’t available. Webb did a pretty good job last night, and so did Taylor. We still have Nolan Belcher and Jay Brown, but I don’t think you can just ask a starter to come out of the Bullpen.

Why do they keep saying the ACC hasn't won a CWS in so long?
Didn’t UNC win one a couple years ago?

Maybe I'm wrong here.
That was the year I was in Spain, so I think UNC beat us to GO to the CWS. I think I just assumed they won it since they beat us…haha.

Roth send Clemson down without a hit in the 6th.

You have to really tip your hat to what Roth has done here.
Let’s hope we can keep it going. Clemson can score in bunches.
Garnet and Black Attack: A Blog by and for Gamecocks Fans.
I agree.
Someday I will develop a formula to determine how much of a lead Gamecock fans need to feel comfortable each inning. Right now we’ll have to go linear. I need 7 runs per inning left. That means I won’t feel comfortable with the current score until there is one out in the 9th.
Lot of baseball left to play.

I wish we could get beginning-of-the-year Wingo back. His BA has dropped like a rock lately.
Garnet and Black Attack: A Blog by and for Gamecocks Fans.
Yeah, he's been a lot less patient.
His OBP has dropped a bunch, too. You used to be able to count on him for a walk per game. Not so much lately.

Yeah but to just throw the kid in there have him give you 7 (maybe +) innings
at this quality? It’s unreal. I cannot say enough about him.
His off-speed pitches are now arouns 75mph. I dunno if that’s typical for him or not. I wish I was paying attention earlier in the game. Possible sign of fatigue?

That's incredible.
Roth has been great all year, but when you think about it, this is one of the best pitching performances we’ve seen this year, and we’ve seen plenty of them.

Alright. Is Roth done for the night or do we give him the chance to go for the complete game?
I brain says take him out. He’s got no business going over 100 pitched tonight (actually no business going over 80).
My heart says let the boy PITCH!

I think Tanner will put him out there in the 9th.
First walk or hit allowed he’s replaced.
It didn’t look like he was icing his arm at all.

come on Roth

So, who pitches tomorrow? Are we going to give Dyson another go at it?
And who will the Tigers go to?
Garnet and Black Attack: A Blog by and for Gamecocks Fans.
I have no Idea who we will pitch.
I gotta think Dyson. He’s on 3 day’s rest and Tanner says he is just as well-conditioned as Cooper.
As for Clemson, STS seems to think some chump named Harman will get the ball for the Tigers.

If we manage to win tomorrow night and go on to the championship series
this game has to be looked at…. if not for Roth’s outstanding performance, our bullpen would have been taxed to no end. He could have just handed us the answer we needed to get this thing done AGAIN… now we got 3 quality starters we can throw at Clemson tomorrow plus a well rested bullpen that almost any program would die to have.
Very good point.
