Alabama at USC Game Three Open Thread

The Gamecocks take on the Crimson Tide this afternoon in the series rubber match. Jay Brown starts for Carolina, but I don't know who is starting for 'Bama. (Anyone that knows, please post.)

Go 'Cocks.

3-2 top of third.

Looks like Florida is going to sweep LSU.

We need to come back here so Florida toes catch up with us in the East.

Arkansas has already dropped one game to Auburn, so no worries there.

Gamecocks get one back after three two-out singles...

and then Haney flies out. Haney is an almost automatic out at this point.

He might be the one player I'd be OK with bunting...

I'm assuming you're not down with Whit Merrifield bunting when we have a man in scoring position.

Not really sure why Tanner opted for Tyler Webb.

Maybe he’s giving his other arms a rest. But at this point in the season, I think it’s clear that Webb is going to be a lst resort option.

8-5 ’Bama.

He gave up two HRs after getting the first two outs. That was ugly.

Thomas comes in to pinch hit and hits a three-run bomb to tie it up.

He has made quite a name for himself this weekend.

If we can just find some serviceable relief pitching, we should be good...

We’re hitting the ball extremely well, and ’Bama is getting further and further into their bullpen.

I'd like to see Roth or Carter get another chance.

They both only had one bad outing on Friday, but have been pretty good the rest of the season.

Gamecocks score another to take the lead after a botched throw to the infield after Matthews's double...

And 'Bama makes another pitching change.

They’re getting near to running out of pitchers.

That's fine by me.

I’d be ok if they had to put the waterboy on the mound. Let’s keep tacking on the runs!

No Smelley sightings yet this weekend.

BTW, Gamecock Man, T. Kyle King left a post you might want to check out under your “Wednesday News and Notes” post.

Is it just me, or does 'Bama seem to get a lot of infield hits?

They've been pretty lucky this weeknd.

During that 5 run inning they had on Dyson Saturday, they had at least two bloop singles to stay alive. Dyson was pitching well, but they were getting hits off the end of the bat. On almost every at-bat in that inning Dyson started out with a first pitch strike.

That’s baseball.
