Jeremy Bleich takes on Georgia

June 21, 2008 by Mike Axisa 46 Comments

If that exhilarating Dan Giese-Daryl Thompson matchup in the Bronx doesn’t do it for you, flip on over to ESPN at 2pm EST to check out sandwich rounder Jeremy Bleich try to save Stanford’s season in the College World Series. If the Cardinal wins today, they’ll take on Georgia again tomorrow, winner goes to the CWS Finals. If Georgia wins today, Stanford goes home and Georgia will take on either UNC or Fresno State in the Finals. Talk about the game here if you want, here’s the Game Tracker if you can’t get in front of a TV.

good first inning for Bleich.

Erin Andrews looks good in blue.

Bleich has that curveball going today.

  Erin Andrews looks good in most things.

      I’m sorry, I don’t see it. Erin Andrews is utterly average. This sports blogosphere with Erin Andrews has clearly veered off into Star Wars/Star Trek level geekery crushes on Princess Leia or Uhuru.
      
      Just because she’s the one person on the broadcast you’re watching who has a pair of knockers and doesn’t have a beard doesn’t make her pretty. It just makes her a woman. There are tons of women everywhere; put down your homemade laser blaster replica and go talk to one.

Nice clean 1-2-3 to start the game.
Yankees=warriors

I wish I could watch this game. I’ll bet it beats the current Yankee-Reds game.
I hate watching us getting shutout by another rookie…
- TurnTwo
  
  it absolutely baffles me how this team plays against rookies, or pitchers they havent seen before.
  - Yankees=warriors
    
    Tell me about it! And when it’s our rookies out there, they get pounded. However, Geise is doing a good job, hope the offense won’t waste his efforts.
TurnTwo

Bleich has a nice, fluid motion… doesnt look like he exudes much effort at all.

This college gametracker beats gameday hands down

That was a terrible shift, even though it would’ve ended being a double anyway.

Toby Gerhart is big dude. I guess it helps to be on the football team.

Orel Hershiser is great. I wonder how terrible Steve Phillips would sound calling this game. Thank God we won’t ever find out.
- TurnTwo
  
  agreed. the team of guys they have on the CWS games trumps any combo they have on any of their MLB games.

  Mike Patrick destroys Michael Kay too, even if he goes off on the occasionally inappropriate tangent.

Fastball on the black. K’d!

To paraphrase Ken Singleton, Bleich is working the corners like a cop on the beat.
- E-ROC
  
  LOL.
E-ROC

Bad luck.

Futile attempt at getting out of the way on that one.
- TurnTwo
  
  i was thinking the same thing. i wouldnt have even let him go to first.
E-ROC

Bleich’s command has been great. Just bad luck scored that run on a bloop single. If the bat was made of wood, I don’t think that single happens.
E-ROC

Good imitation of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
TurnTwo

Stanford needs to stop swings at AWFUL pitches out of the K zone.

  They’re doing what they see Melky and Cano doing. They’re just copying the big leaguers they watch on TV.
TurnTwo

‘Castro the Astro” seems like something Michael Kay would come up with. he needs to stop saying that.
E-ROC

What stuff does Bleich have?
- http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike A.
  
  Fastball, change, curve. That’s it.
  - TurnTwo
    
    seems like thats all he really needs, as long as he can keep his control up.
  - E-ROC
    
    Is he comparable to Chase Wright?
    - http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike A.
      
      Yeah, that’s actually a good comp stuff wise. Bleich has better command and he’s got a better body though.

        Thanx for the info.

Bleich reminds me of a very young Tom Glavine….

Whoa….

  Yeah, not having his best day.

Wow, going to the closer in the 4th inning…
- E-ROC
  
  I wonder what would happen if the Yanks brought in Mo in the 4th inning of a playoff game.
  - http://www.riveraveblues.com Mike A.
    
    They would be ripped apart by every media outlet in the country.
    
    UNC did the same thing last year. Their starter was getting hammered in Game 2 of the CWS (they were down in 1-0 in the best of 3), and they brought in their closer in the 2nd inning.
TurnTwo

well, not exactly the best afternoon for yankees fans to enjoy some baseball.
E-ROC

there is no quit in stanford.

It’s nice watching college baseball games, especially when you get to see the nice blondes in stands make cameos.

  Man, I went to the CWS in 2005, and I swear, it’s like a super hot chick competition. They keep getting better and better looking as the days go on.

That homerun might just do it.

That homer might have been the straw that broke the camel’s back.

time to go to the tivo and watch the Netherlands/Russia Euro 08 match.

Josh Fields is taking it in the a$$ right now. 10-8 Georgia in the bottom of the 9th inning.
