I have not watched all year until today. Just asking a question without criticizing. Is there a reason we have went with Burroughs so long? Is there not anyone in the pen?

Yea, I know all of that. But this is team that Jax St beat twice this year. And also a team that will get pounded against Louisville. Trust me.
I agree that it's not the easiest pill to swallow, but I had to admit that I was surprised at a stat they showed earlier in the game. Our win last night was only the second time that KSU has been beaten in their last 29 games. Granted, I know they don't play the caliber of competition that we do on a consistent basis, but they came into the NCAAs as the hottest team in the country, for what that's worth.

I dont want to sound like a sour loser here but that last strike call was absolutely terrible. One of the worst strike calls i have ever seen.

The call was awful but that is no excuse. This is the first time I have watched them this year. Started watching in the 6th and I saw enough pitches taken that were hittable to last a few games. Said it last year and my opinion has not changed...I think we need a change at the top.

Something I did notice was the plate got bigger with the sidearmed pitchers. Other than that I thought the ump did a fairly good job. Both sidearmed pitchers got a ton of calls today though inside/outside.

Inexcusable for an umpire to miss a call on a ball that is both off the plate and below the strike zone. One or the other is somewhat acceptable, but not both.

I did not see the call so I am not sure how bad it was but apparently is was terrible. The problem is though; and I think another poster pointed it out. How many times did our hitters today let a good pitch go right by with the bat on their shoulders; for that matter how many times did we do it all season.

Kudos to the team for the run after the first game loss. But the bottom line is this- Alabama lost Twice to Kennesaw St in one tournament. It should never happen. I will say it again- Andy Phillips simply needs to go- NOW. No excuses. All of this first pitch swinging and easy outs is maddening. Scored 6 runs in 3 games against this team. Had the pitching to go to Omaha- but run production says no. Missed opportunity- maybe the $35 million investment in the new stadium will provide motivation to go get the best coach Bama can get. And Gaspard is far from that. And yes- I have watched him for 5 years now- a lot.
