I’ve already been blocked by one Georgia team account (we’ll get to that story come basketball season, just know initials TC and I are not friends), so I will refrain from anything too strongly worded to say about this performance.
I don’t know why I expected something different from Georgia in our first super regional in 16 years, but I did and still do frankly. Despite completely forgetting that teams are allowed to bunt and playing outfield like you’re waiting for Simon says go, the Dawgs have it all to play for the next two days. Apologies to Dillon Carter for the outfield comment. Carter made two incredible plays that sadly will never be remembered because Georgia had 8 Marcel Ozunas in the field.
Losing 18-1 is so bad it’s good for the Dawgs. Wes Johnson was able to know early on that we had no chance and chose to pitch accordingly. A loss counts the same no matter how it comes, so better to lose immediately (an 11-run inning will do that to ya) than in a one-run game where you lose your best arms. A legitimate concern is that Georgia doesn’t have the best arms to begin with, but gotta trust that an offense that was consistently one of the best in the country will muster more than 4 hits in the next game. Regardless, things are moving in the right direction and if it’s another 16 years before we’re in a super regional then we likely hired Tom Crean as our baseball coach.
Keep the faith. Go Dawgs.
