GenericUserName Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) So there are 5 players on 5 different teams still playing in the college baseball playoffs. I thought we should get a thread of game times and viewing information so its all in one place for anyone who wants to watch and discuss the newest Sox prospects. (all times CST) 1st round pick Nick Madrigal (Oregon State University) vs. 30th round pick Micah Coffey (University of Minnesota) Game 1: June 8th @ 4PM on ESPN2 Game 2: June 9th @ 8:30PM on ESPN2 Game 3 (if necessary): June 10th @ 8PM on ESPN2 3rd round pick Konnor Pilkington (Mississippi State University) vs. Vanderbilt University Game 1: June 8th @ 7PM on ESPN2 Game 2: June 9th @ 8:30PM on ESPN (Pilkington announced as starter) Game 3 (if necessary): June 10th @ 5PM on ESPN2 14th round pick Davis Martin (Texas Tech University) vs. Duke University Game 1: June 9th @ 2PM on ESPNU Game 2: June 10th @ 5PM on ESPNU Game 3 (if necessary): June 11th @ 3PM on ESPN2 35th round pick Jason Morgan (University of North Carolina) vs. Stetson University Jason Morgan was injured this year so he will most likely not be pitching in this series Game 1: June 8th @ 10AM on ESPN2 Game 2: June 9th @ 11AM on ESPN2 Game 3 (if necessary): June 10th @ 11AM on ESPN2 UPDATE FOR CWS Oregon State (Nick Madrigal) vs. UNC -- June 16th @ 2PM on ESPN Mississippi State (Konnor Pilkington) vs. Washington -- June 16th @ 7PM on ESPN Both will play again on June 18th on ESPN, either @ 1PM (w/game 1 loss) or 6PM (w/game 1 win) Pilkington is scheduled to pitch MSU's second game. Texas Tech (Davis Martin) vs. Florida -- June 7th @ 6PM on ESPN2 Texas Tech's second game will be on June 19th on ESPN, either @ 1PM (w/game 1 loss) or 6PM (w/game 1 win) I couldn't find which game Martin is scheduled to pitch in, so if anyone else does, please let me know.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Yes, thank you so much! Time to set the DVR. For Martin and Pilkington, obviously they will only pitch in one of those 3 games and the other two won't need to be watched/recorded for those just looking to see the Sox draftees. I would just assume Pilkington would pitch Game 1, while Martin is probably Game 2 or 3, but I haven't looked enough in to it to figure it out.

Even the Pilkington announcement was just the coach saying he was switching it up, so he could pitch game one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I assume this will be the game thread for these CWS games. Oregon St. getting under way right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Madrigal singles on the first pitch up the middle, Larnach hits a 2-run dinger. 2-0 Oregon St in the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 And everyone's favorite catcher, Rutchsman ALSO hit's an oppo HR and I sweat to god I think they both landed in the exact same spot. Couldn't have been more than 10 feet away from each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshot7 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Micah Coffey in this game too. Single in his first AB. K in his second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it's just his typical practice swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't take away from scouts having put 80s on his bat speed and bat control, or that he simply does not strikeout, or that every time I've seen him play, he makes good contact with the ball.

I really wish other teams hadn't caught on to Larnach and the Sox could've snagged him in Round 2. I hope the Twins trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 Madrigal just about beat out a weak grounder to second and on the replayed it looks like he did beat it, but they didn't review it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they said later that you can't challenge safe/out calls except for plays at the plate, so that explains why they didn't challenge it.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Not impressed by either pitcher. Mize has no control today and Singer has been laying in 91-93 mph meatballs that would be crushed by better hitters. Also, is India having trouble throwing to 1b? Yips? Let a routine throw sail on him. Bailed out of an error by a very nice play by the first basemen and the announcers made a comment about India’s throws to first being an adventure of late. Took me about 30 minutes of watching that game to feel even more confident in the Madrigal selection.

Do we have reading from anyone at the game because a lot, if not most, of the other guys pitching were throwing harder than the tv radar guns said. I know Logan Gilbert has like 3 mph slower on tv than people at the game had him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
