    fuck'em. they had a choice to a vaccinate or not. 

  • Wtf is wrong with some of y’all? NC State knew the health and safety rules and the risks of showing up with unvaccinated players. They made their own beds and have to suffer the consequences.  It’s on

Spitballing here but I'd guess the issue is whether or not NC State can even field a team.

Rumors floating that NCST could be without some starters.  Possibly Covid related.  Betting odds have changed.

I forgot COVID even fucking existed TBH. 

Jesus, Vandy goes from one strike away from being eliminated on Wednesday to potentially waltzing into the finals without having to play Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun.  While Texas has to play Thurs-Fri-Sat and MSU Fri-Sat. 

I hate to put an asterisk on a title, but if Vandy wins the whole thing, you have to.  At least the other programs who had to forfeit in their tournaments (VCU MBB, Michigan and ND Hockey) did so in the first round, not the semifinals.

If NC State IS out, putting MSU through and having Texas and Vandy play a one off would make most sense

They only brought 27 players to the series, right? I wonder if they could overnight some backups from NC to play tomorrow.

Yes. If anybody deserves a free ticket to the finals it should be the winners bracket team.

this makes too much sense to actually do.

That's not much of an announcement then, is it?

so Vandy gets a free walk to the championship game, gets both their starters to have full rest....  and Texas now has to win 4 games in 6 days?

I was actually just going to post this. It makes so much sense. Texas plays MSU, wins. MSU plays candy, advances. 

3 team playoff instead of 4. 

 

I think it's Texas and Vandy play an elimination game then winner faces Miss State for the title in the champ series.

Advancing MSU and having Texas-Vandy in a one game playoff tomorrow at 6pm to meet them makes WAAAAAY to much fucking sense for the NCAA to pull off.  If I'm Texas/MSU and NCState has to forfeit I'm raising holy hell.

Why cant Texas and Vandy play tonight then?

It's gonna rain....

No shit. Every team could make the same announcement because it is true of everyone.

Goddamn, feel like I have to explain EVERYTHING around here.

It's the only right option.  

So it won't happen and Vandy will get a free spot in the finals because SEC

This is going to practically guarantee that there will be claims of bias regardless of how this is approached..

 

This is completely fucked now and the NCAA has to  either delay all games for a week to let everyone get back on a decent rest schedule or just cancel it now. Because of the time/rest component of all of this, forcing a forfeit for any team will provide an extreme advantage for one team and put the other bracket at a guaranteed disadvantage regardless who comes out of this.

Asking for a friend.

Are you looking for middle-aged men? Your wheelhouse keeps expanding.

NC State's first baseman might be able to get some Vandy runners picked off by coughing toward them when they take their lead.

hopefully false positives or the players who tested positive have been vax'd

Naah, I just have a strategy of showing my witty Surly repartee to women to impress them.

I'll admit that this approach has some workshopping to do......

So our game now likely to start around 715?

Or midnight. Whatever.

You think they still start our game at 7:00p or also push it back one hour?

Woah. Insane.

Like I said earlier I hope they can get the backups out here if they have to play a second game.

It's more than nuts.  It's Christ's nuts.

Seriously, that's some hardcore shit.

"Skip, should we call for the double-switch?"

Whew. Sanity prevails. Let's play some baseball!

yep.  I kind of liked the potential opportunity for a one off with Vandy to get the champ series against MSU.  my guess is if they offer that to Vandy, Vandy would have said "yeah, no, we'll take our chances with team Covid".

They need to imagine themselves back in 14U Travel Ball (though those teams usually have more than 4 people capable of pitching)
