Mike lost 8-0....did he dog it or did Efren shoot the lights out?
What Happened the First Set?

The Stats
that Colin has shows Sigel making 5 trips to the table
in the first set, and missed each time, so what would
you think? Perhaps if he could have made a ball and got
out with one of the first trips to the table, and been
breaking the next game, it might have been a different
match. Lets see 7 balls to shoot at each time at the table,
and 5 different chances .... not too good in my book.

You'd be surprised at how often you can have all of your balls on the table and not have anything to shoot at in 8-ball. Did Efren play safe on any of them?
Sigel didn't have many opportunities, but the ones he had he either hooked himself or missed. He could have won 3 games outright, with who knows how many behind those with him breaking. I think he made a total of 3 balls the first set, the second set he was barking "Just let me run 3 in a row, then he's in trouble!!".
It was entertaining but the running commentary got old in the second set. Mike did play better and made it a game before Efren closed it out. But overall Sigel got some bad rolls, Efren played great except for the 3 balls in a row that he missed that almost made it look like he was throwing that game.

Actually, in the first or second game, Sigel ran his 7 balls and missed a bank attempt on the 8-ball, after Efren had had a dry break. He appeared to have forgotten that while he was complaining that he needed to pot a couple of balls to warm up.pillage6 said:

They both started slow, missing position by hitting the object balls thick. Efren adjusted quicker and got the first couple of rolls to get him going. Mike everytime he got up to the table didn't have a decent out, or opening.
That's how I saw it. Once Efren started rolling, each time Mike got to the table, it was even tougher (mentally speaking). The balls were *just* here or *just* there such that if you were free wheeling, it wouldn't be a problem, but if you haven't gotten things going yet, it becomes a problem.

I pretty much saw it the same way.Mike did not have too many chances to get out even when it was a open table but he dogged it when he should of ran out.
