appears NCSU has 5 starters from the first game with vandy.  I assumed it was only 2.

3B is playing SS and 1B is playing LF.

Yeah they have five real batters. I can see why they feel like they might have a chance.

    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

    That might explain why our bats may seem like they stay on our shoulders at times. Magnets.

Yep, I've seen umpires do this before in games I'm coaching after they have a second to think about a play. It's the good ones who never let their pride get in the way of making the right call in the end.

welp, so much for that? what the hell just happened?

I think it's the whole inadvertent whistle thing here.  Once the ump said "dead ball" he can't change it to live ball.  However, he could have let the play go, then reviewed it.

This series has exposed (once again) the need to douche the current umpire vetting process and get serious about providing quality umping in Omaha and NCAA Baseball overall.

I assume they are now playing under protest now. 

Not sure what they they got told. I thought they were going to send him back to first.

Bullshit is what just happened.

As if Vandy could be handed this on a platter any more, the umps go completely one sided. Unbelievable

Well that got weird.

Ah well. Good luck shutting them down another inning Payne. We're all rooting for you.

Wait....WTF?

You know that over half your team isn't vaxxed (and thus is subject to the protocols).

You know that there's a "bug" going around your team.

And you just DGAF, and let them expose over half your team -- requiring isolation per the protocols that you knew about in step 1?

Jesus. What a dumbass.

I covered the ACC Tournament in Jacksonville several years back.  Avent struck me as a really likeable guy who was unfortunately about as bright as Ben McDonald.

rocker is a douche.

Loved seeing him get animated like he didn't just get handed a strikeout instead of a 1 out double

well, the umps tried to make it right. it seems they were not allowed to do so.

NC State is getting boned.

The Umps clearly have no sentimentality about them.

Edit: Nevermind I guess they tried.

Humans need to be done on balls and strikes.

Awful.

But I will say ESPN has difficult angles to determine exactly how close some the pitches are. The angle is too high to tell low ball strikes in some cases.

This home plate ump gives Kumar that last strike 3 but won't give this NCST pitcher half the pitches in the zone. I need to stop watching I'm getting upset 

Fine not giving him a double but send him back to first. Plus keeping the same count after a hit is complete bs

Meanwhile Vandy still cannot hit this kid. Unbelievable.

Dude had given up 7 earned runs in 9.1 innings before this start.

What a terribly written rule:

image.png.dde147cd36010daf73d4f38c6411c302.png

So they were told from above that the note means that because the ball first touched the ground before the third baseman that conferencing to get that call right wasn't in the "Getting the Call Right" section. That is so clearly not the intent of this section of the rules.

Wrong!

hang on, he could still be right. Just not the direction he thought. 

Oh my! Sam Highfill!

Maybe he should play 1B. Look at that.

Glad to hear the B team is calling this game. I assume we'll have the other crew call our game tonight.

Is there an A Team?  There, I teed it up for someone...

Glad Austin Murr gets a shot with Highfill on.

Edit: Not that he did much with it. At least he hit the ball I guess.

Ok may the legend of Garrett Payne continue

That chin and upper arm tells me she’s got about 3-5 years before ballooning up. Get your licks in while you can, boys.

Lulz, don't hold your breath on that one.  

So what are we rooting for here?

Vandy whistlers to get sent the fuck home ASAP or Vandy winning here to force another game tomorrow with the risk of them winning again?

One could argue Rocker’s being out pitched at this point. Probably technically wrong, but numbers don’t lie. Hats off to Stretch pitching the game of his life.

Lol! Yeah, I’m not. Doesn’t change the need for it though.

I am rooting for NC State to use up Kumar Rocker, and maybe their weird team of pitchers playing 1B, backup Freshmen, and rarely used pitcher playing the game of his life winning. Because that would be hilarious.

I came to Surly for the football hot takes but this is exactly the type of wisdom that has kept me around.

That is part of what needs addressing. But we know it won’t be. And I am not a proponent of changing the game. Just the obvious fail.

Playing small ball eh Vandy?

I guess they figure they only need one.
