June 8, 20214 yr 48 minutes ago, Lobo said: Well, if you are ESPN---your more attractive Supers from a TV perspective are Arkansas/N.C. State (though somewhat geographically limited), Arizona/Ole Miss (for later games from Tucson), Tennessee v. Oregon/LSU, and Mississippi State @ Notre Dame as your most attractive 4 for TV purposes. Least appealing is UVA/ODU v. DBU, Texas/USF and ECU/Vandy both looking the next "best" exciting. UC-Irvine pulls off the upset tonight, they probably become the second least attractive Super with Tech. Stanford-Tech would get some eyeballs but would be bound by CDT tv times. I guess we have to fucking wait on Old Dominion like the old joke goes.

June 8, 20214 yr Just now, Dnaguy said: After 1 inning of play, 2-0 Corndogs Yeah. We might have all buried them a bit too soon. LSU pitcher is not that great though. Should be fun.
June 8, 20214 yr This is getting ridiculous. Stanford has put up 7 in the first inning, and they’re still batting.
June 8, 20214 yr The good news: Irvine finally got out of the inning. The bad news: There are still 8 more innings.

June 8, 20214 yr too soon. One of these West Coast games should end right around the time Virginia/ODU start tomorrow morning...so that'll be nice . At least when schedules for Supers come out during lunch tomorrow, we'll all have something to chat about over chicken and booze. Edited June 8, 20214 yr by Lobo

June 8, 20214 yr You know ESPN is pulling for LSU bigtime, with the coach retiring. They will get plenty of quality airtime this weekend and if they make it to Omaha, it's gonna be all LSU, all the time. I wouldn't mind seeing LSU go out today.

June 8, 20214 yr Just now, Dnaguy said: Ball is carrying to left field. I thought that was an out but it just kept going…. No shit. Looks like a routine fly off the bat.
June 8, 20214 yr Irvine gets through an inning without giving up multiple runs. 8-1 Stanford. LSU's bullpen seems unable to bring it home. Maybe they should have been like Arkansas and just make your good pitcher throw 200 pitches. 4-2 Oregon.

June 8, 20214 yr Author Irvine flies out to the track for the last out of the 2nd, stranding two. 8-3 after 2.
June 8, 20214 yr Please tell me that if LSU loses, Ben McDbag is eliminated from the rest of the tourney, too.
June 8, 20214 yr Author piss poor effort by the Oregon catcher there. 5-4 Ducks. Edited June 8, 20214 yr by WBT

June 8, 20214 yr Stanford game tracking at 90 minutes for every three innings. Checks math—-should be over at 1:30a CDT. Seems reasonable
June 8, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, TrashMaster G said: He's actually good in the booth. I'm fine with Macdonald but he shouldn't get to call LSU games in the tournament, just like Moreland and Zeke apparently can't call ours.

June 8, 20214 yr 3 hours ago, Beau Vine said: Did you ever see a baseball game at the Astrodome? I saw quite a few. See the white line arc, beyond the bases, from foul line to foul line? That's the infield fly line. I know the infield fly rule is somewhat ambiguous, and there's endless arguments about just where/who/how it should be used or exist at all, but at the dome, this was the visual reference that was used to determine the infield fly rule. There are some who interpret the rule to mean just the square inside the basepaths, and others who say it includes the entire outfield, despite its name. This wasn't the only baseball stadium that had this white arc just beyond the bases. Sometimes it was a grass line, but often it wasn't because of design preferences or using artificial surfaces.
