*** Mosconi Cup 2015 Updates Thread ***

[Cornerman]

I'm not sure what Albin is doing. In this set he's shot 2 of the worst shots in Mosconi Cup history...literally ever

Maybe Marcus told him to keep it close, else a riot ensues.

Ouschan makes the kick and leaves Sky long.
Sky misses the 5 but slops in the 8. He leaves himself awkward on the 5 and elects to safe. Ouschan safes back and now they're in a safety battle. Ouschan at the table now with a thin cut at the 5.

Great shot by Ouschan to tie it at 2-2

 

[yelvis111]

Ouschan makes the cut, goes up and down the table and gets out. 2-2 with Ouschan breaking.

Sky crapped in a ball, had to play safe again. Got about as good as he could have asked for. Albin tried playing safe back, sky can see, but no pocket. Sky played another safe on the 5, but Albin can see it and make it. Gonna be 2-2 with Albin breaking.

 

[Cornerman]

I'm thinking they would send Skyler out to play at 10-10

Well... that's the third player mentioned, so Mark might as well flip a coin for Dechaine or Corey to bring home the cheese.

really nice long pot and position from Albin after those two putrid shots earlier.

I'm about to get out of work. Would appreciate it if people keep posting scores.

Albin is subject to do anything...the most aggressive pool I've ever seen played. I'm still trying to figure out wtf he was trying to accomplish earlier.

 

[muddawg]

Nice run out by Skylar. He's up 3-2 now

I think he's losing his nerve. Sky is putting the fear of the Ghost in Albin.

 

[mikeyfrost]

Albin is he playing like he's getting weight...if he wins it for Europe somehow I'm gonna be mad

 

[SUPERSTAR]

I don't care about rankings. I don't care about rating systems.
I don't really care how much he played in whatever year.
Sky needs to be on this team for AT LEAST the next 5 years.
He is thriving under these conditions.
A little more seasoning and he will only get better.

You'll know it worked if they start calling him Abino

The view is always bad for the commentators, and sometimes the monitor isn't easy to look at in the booth either. It's the reality of commentating.

also have the advantage of seeing and hearing more because I'm physically present here and not watching only what you see on TV.

You guys have to decide what is what. lol

 

[Kickin' Chicken]

I am getting more and more impressed with Sky each time I see him play.

He is having a blast and seems cool as a cucumber.

Win or lose (but pls win), I love this kid! :thumbup:

 

[galipeau]

Loving Skylar's style of play.

His mental game is strong-Better than most. A big factor.

Sky sinks 3 on the break but only has a bank on the 1 ball. He goes for it and it just barely hangs up in the pocket. Albin runs the rack to tie the match up 3-3.

 

[HelloBaby-]

Loving Skylar's style of play.

I don't know. The yolo bank on the 1 might cost him the match.
