Open Watching Buster Posey and Conor Gillapsie Thread

It's currently the top of the 4th, 3-1 to Wichita State on a 2-run home run and an RBI double.

The commentators said that the coach for the the Seminoles calls every pitch, which disappoints me because we won't be able to see how Posey manages his pitchers. No base-stealers yet, but Wichita State seems like a running team, so he'll probably get a chance to show off his rocket arm.

Bottom 4th, 3-2 Wichita: Home run by Posey on the second pitch he saw, 6th of the post-season.

Top 5th, 3-2 Wichita: Gillapsie grounds out to first. That's his second groundout of the day. Not exactly confidence inspiring, but we'll see.

You can tell that Posey is new to catching. It's not a problem, but he bounces a lot when he sets up before a pitch.

Top 5th, 4-2 Wichita: Before the run scored, Wichita stole 3rd on a slider outside the zone that Posey couldn't catch properly. After, he blocked another ball in the dirt outside the zone nicely.

Bottom 5th, 5-2 Wichita: With two outs and a runner on second, Wichita decides to intentionally walk Posey.

Top 6th, 5-3 Wichita: Commentators said that Villanueva, FSU's starter for the game, credits Posey for keeping him focused during games.

Top 6th, 8-3 Wichita: Gillapsie hits a 3-run HR on the first pitch. A home-run is always appreciated, but it seems like he likes swinging at the first pitch.

Posey catches a pitch outside the zone, then whips it to the first baseman in an attempt to nail the runner there. Though the runner was safe, Posey threw it down the line pretty fast from his knees.

Bottom 6th, 9-4 Wichita: The broadcast on ESPN dropped out with Posey down an 0-2 hole. I'm not sure how he hit into an out, but the play involved Gillaspie.

Top 9th, 10-5 Wichita: Posey drops a 3rd strike, but flips it over to first for the out. He's caught 5 different pitchers today.

Bottom 9th, 10-5 Wichita: Posey strikes out on a pitch way outside with a runner on first. He's a bum!

Bottom 9th, 10-7 Wichita: With 2 men on and 2 outs and a chance to tie up the game, Posey strikes out swinging. The pitch before, though, was a bit high and should have been ball four, but the ump called strike two. End game.
