Poor defense, and not good enough pitching. And leaving some runs on the table early in the game especially.

What we saw in the 9th inning today was an illustration of StanfordMatt's comment last week. Terrible fundamental baseball, terrible defense, too many free passes from the pitching staff.

Pitching besides Bruno was great. Hitting was fine against their star pitcher. Bruno screwed us...and Campbell screwed us further.
Wasted Malcolm's efforts.

This one hurts. I knew once Bruno walked 3, a lead would be very very hard to maintain.

Unfortunately, we’ve been on the brink of elimination many times before. How we respond idk. This was a gut punch. The team literally looked stunned.
06-10-2023, 06:32 PM
Oh, that hurts.
I hope we clinch the Director’s Cup tonight in WT&F so that isn’t at stake.

Why make things easy for ourselves, when we can play two elimination games in a row instead? :)
Our recording stopped when Scott came in to pitch. What happened?

Yikes yikes yikes. We have no business losing this game yet here we are. This is a pretty epic collapse and heartbreak if we don’t still pull it out.
According to my scorecard, the first 3 walks by Bruno were all on full counts. Once it got to 3-2 Stanford might as well have motioned the batter to take first. I was at the game. Lots of fans were very unhappy with the home plate umpire.
Anyone here good with video editing? I have a project in mind re this game.

I don’t know but I’m guessing Saborn Campbell’s dropped fly in RF?

Campbell cetainly deserves some of the criticism for the dropped fly ball but I have a hard time placing all of the blame on him (putting aside all of the walks which are a separate topic entirely). From Day 1 of Little League, you're taught that CF overrules RF and LF. Park and Campbell were both calling for the ball but it should have been Park's ball because he's the center fielder. It appeared from the TV angle that Park was in position to make the play until he pulled back at the last second which put Campbell in a tricky spot.
I think some of the blame also has to fall on Esquer. Montgomery should've been playing RF and Cobb should've been DH. As CTcard mentioned last week, Campbell doesn't bring much to the table with his bat (0-3 today). Defensively, Campbell may match up similarly to Montgomery in RF on an individual basis (I'd give Campbell the speed edge and Montgomery has the stronger arm), but Campbell doesn't have the rapport with Park that Montgomery and Park have developed all season.

On the bright side, Texas is a great school and their fans are gracious in wins and defeat. If we had to lose (ofcourse, I'd prefer to lose to no one), i'd rather it be to them versus say Oregon.
Speaking of Oregon. They choked as well tonight.

Re TX fans, that’s not what I heard after the game.
Talked to a few people who know the game better than me. General agreement that Bruno was getting squeezed in the ninth. FWIW. Will Jeff Gosney join Brandon Cooper in my umpiring hall of shame? Stay tuned.

I definitely feel like the ump cost us the game more so than Bruno or Campbell
