Who will get the start today for Mizzou?
Who: No. 6 Georgia (44-11) vs. Missouri (50-11) @ 11:00 a.m. (CST)
Where: ASA Hall of Fame Stadium, Oklahoma City, OK
TV: ESPN
Online: ESPN360
How We Got Here: Bracket
Weather: Hour-by-Hour Forecast
SB Nation Partner: Dawg Sports (UGA)
Previews: Know Your (Potential) WCWS Opponent - Georgia
Thursday certainly did not go as planned, and the ladies now have their backs to the wall and are playing for their season this morning against a Georgia team in the same situation. Which team will keep their WCWS hopes alive and get to play Michigan later this evening (since I am not sure anyone is aware the bracket seems to cross over at this point, which I find strage)
Make Rock M Nation your base of operations this weekend and weigh in with your predictions, questions, worries, bold statements and observations by signing up for a free account. Oklahoma City has been good to Mizzou so far in 2009. Both Softball and Baseball threads will be active today, but the games are not likely to overlap. Hang around all day long to catch all the action.

by Dutch Missourian on May 30, 2009 11:39 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
for Thomas, the location is big...
the ball needs to be off the plate just a little more so the ground balls are not as hard. She seems to be getting it a little more

I dislike tv announcing in general… wish this game was on the radio.
by Dutch Missourian on May 30, 2009 11:49 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
my thoughts on that:
in radio, you must paint a picture with your words. TV announcers seem to talk incessantly, not always realizing that it’s television…you know, moving pictures? The audience can see what’s going on, that picture doesn’t need to be painted.
I would suggest watching a soccer game from England and listening to the commentary, and then watching a game from the US, and listening to the Americans who can’t shut up. It’s like night and day. I enjoy hearing the crowd singing in the background or just the general crowd noise without some idiot telling me a bunch of stuff I can see for myself.

BIG chance for Gina Schneider
Mizzou really needs to dent the scoreboard here as Hamilton is got to be wearing just a little
Gina looks at a ball to start, then the same pitch is a strike
another pop up that Schnake gets to behind 2nd base, inning over
3-0 headed to the bottom of the 5th

So at what point
Does this Thomas kid just have to drill someone in the ribcage, start a brawl and try to get her team fired up? Hey, it works in the majors.

some may 2nd guess the start of Thomas
I dont have a real problem with it. I think the experience and the big picture makes this a more positive of a move. I’d almost think about putting in Nottelman here to be honest, but nice for Delaney to get some more pitches before her career closes out

Hesson up now, Mizzou not out of danger
still some big hitters for UGA and one swing right now could end it
UGA is up there hacking, but the slight off-speed of Delaney has them swinging through it
Another swinging K as Delaney is throwing about 10 mph less than Thomas was

Minner coming up now for Mizzou
she was swinging hard last time up, is down early in the count
Minner does not look real comfortable up there, perhaps trying to tie the game on one swing
basehit right up the middle on a 1-1 pitch, I expect Minner to be PR’ed for here

1st baseman thought she caught a line drive and then had a double play, but evidently the ball hit the ground. Umps are discussing…looks real close between catch and ground ball….not sure there is replay to be used here…

I expect a PH for Vock, though that will have her out of the game
Perhaps Shana White to put some speed up there, to be followed by more speed in Taylor
