This kid Rankin can pitch.

Wow, that hurt. Second and third one out, down 2-1, and Jackson Johnson looks at three strikes. We don't score. Still 2-1, bottom of 7th.

You need to have your head examined. If we lose this game we go to the losers bracket. The key for us is not to let USF or UCONN or Memphis win this tourney. You are one strange dude. We win a game and you act like we are going to Omaha. We lose a game and you ready to quit on the whole program.

As per the game, huge strike zone for both teams but we killed ourselves in the field and the inability to hit a fly ball with 1 out and a man on 3rd could come be our undoing.

We are being robbed!

I wouldn't say that. The umps are just bad. They gave us a gift last inning. The play at home was too close to call either way. And the pitch Wilsey got tossed was a ball. But he should have not got tossed over it. It wasn't like it was strike three. We still have a chance to pull it out. Two guys thrown out at the plate hurts though.

That last throw out at the plate, we should have never gone for it. He was out by a mile...

Pepper · Thu May 21, 2015 9:16 pm

No we are getting hosed. Everybody in the stadium knew he was safe. Wilsey getting tossed was ridiculous. He didn't even wait for the catcher to appeal and then the next batter gets hit on the elbow and he calls it a foul tip?

Don't mind The aggressive base running due to our inability to string hits together. I do like the fight in this team though.

You just CaNT miss these galant calls In a conference tourney for both teams.

Right. The umps are terrible for both teams. The called strikes on some of the pitches have been bizzare.

I thought that as well. I said God I hope he holds up because it was too shallow. But I'm ok with aggressive outs.

The home plate ump really isn't ready for prime time.

He has no clue when it comes to the strike zone. Watching this on TV you can really rate these guys. Worst than CUSA umps. But bad for both sides.

Thu May 21, 2015 9:25 pm

Sometimes our 3rd base coaching leaves a lot to be desired!!

Pepper · Thu May 21, 2015 9:31 pm

Tough break there. He was cruising till he hit the batter.

Forever TU · Thu May 21, 2015 9:34 pm

Hard to blame Pierce. This thing spiraled quickly.

GreenLantern · Thu May 21, 2015 9:38 pm

Ward, the home plate umpire, was released from his minor league umpiring job.

Here's the story.

Pepper · Thu May 21, 2015 9:44 pm

At the rate he's going he might be released from Div 1!

Pepper · Thu May 21, 2015 9:46 pm

Tough game but we were neck and neck with these guys.They are a solid club. Like our chances tomorrow. We play better when our backs are up against the wall.

OUG · Thu May 21, 2015 9:52 pm

So we're getting angry miserable Jonathan tonight telling us we have no hope at a regional and we suck?

+1
Terrible for all involved.

Sad performance by our relieve pitcher. Rankin. Walking and hitting batters. He loaded the bases and walked in a run. Rankin needs to go! Worst relieve pitching that I have seen at Tulane. I love Corey. We had an assistant coach and two players thrown out of the game. Can they hold their temper as they cannot play tomorrow which will hurt us badly. No hitting as usual by our team. We are in the pits of the losers bracket and probably no NCAA bid because of this pathetic loss tonight. Rankin our relieve pitcher and players let Tulane down big time with no hitting. A mega important game lost as usual for Tulane over 40 years. Pray that we get lucky and get a NCAA bid. I am sorry but I always call it as I see it. Roll Wave . I feel that we will win another game and get the NCAA bid barely.

Thu May 21, 2015 10:00 pm

Now we have to win 3 games in two days just to play on Sunday if we want to get the auto bid. I still think we need to win tomorrow to be safe. We can't afford to let UCONN or have Memphis win this thing.

Houma de Wave · Thu May 21, 2015 10:05 pm

This one belongs to the umpires!

(Horrible for both teams, but especially us.)

chigoyboy · Thu May 21, 2015 10:11 pm

Can someone explain to me how to hide Jonathan so I never see his posts again. Dude has no flipping clue what he is talking about with sports and he just makes me never want to come back to this forum. I never comment because every time I want to, it follows something totally dumb that this guy has said
