June 7, 20223 yr FYI - it does look like GA outfield "jungle" tickets are already on sale for around $150 on StubHub
June 7, 20223 yr Thinking about driving down from Virginia with my 2 year old - it would be his first sporting event ever. I can't decide if it is a great idea or a terrible idea - probably both.

June 7, 20223 yr It's going to be a stiiiiiicky pair of afternoons down in the Tidewater. Scattered thunderstorms could also be a problem. Edited June 7, 20223 yr by texifornia
June 7, 20223 yr Noon on Friday? Geez NCAA. What are you doing? Well maybe it is good we aren't playing this thing in Austin after all. @Fletch is going to sleep through the entire Super Regional.
June 7, 20223 yr NCAA ensures Texas baseball will not overlap with Texas Softball for a potential game 3 of the WCWS finale (7:30pm Friday) if that game is needed. They also did the same for OU (mid-afternoon game) on Friday
June 7, 20223 yr It is 11 AM Central Time baseball brunch on both days. That's probably good for the visiting team though.

June 7, 20223 yr OK, now that we have a schedule can one of you veteran Thread Starters create a fresh new Regional Thread?

I got the 400 using google maps' measuring tool, so I have no idea how accurate that is either. I got: - RF & LF down the line: ~325 (~15' shorter than the Disch in LF, about the same in RF) - straight away LF & RF: ~340 (~20' shorter in LF & 10' shorter in RF) - straight away CF: ~400 - LF gap: ~375 (about the same as DF) - RF gap: ~370-375 (maybe a couple feet shorter than DF) Down the LF line & straight away LF are gonna be very inviting.

That's all well and good, but do we have any players who can go deep to left? 😁 Edited June 7, 20223 yr by Native Horn grammer

And what's the height of that outfield fence? it looks like it is maybe 6 feet? Of course, they don't have the low fence like we do in LF.

June 7, 20223 yr This will be a two game series. ECU is going to get exposed this weekend. Looking forward to it!

June 7, 20223 yr This is what I noticed from ECU's stats. They really approach their pitching differently from most teams but it's because they don't have a dominant starter. Interested to see how this pitching by committee approach works against Texas. Texas needs to be prepared for 4 to 6 pitchers each game because that's what ECU likes to do. Edited June 7, 20223 yr by Rickylovesweed
June 7, 20223 yr Also, I just realized why ECU is having to do this pitching by committee thing this season. Their ace Carson Whisenhunt is injured. Projected top 30 pick in some earlier mock drafts.

Yeah, in the context of the post I quoted we were talking about a potential WCWS Game 3. Softball talk in Super Regional thread(?) not going away.
