I like this outcome a long game to wear both teams down on a hot afternoon

took a lot of pitchers on both teams

OSU loses right out of the gate

UNC won based on one massive meltdown inning by OSU where their pitchers, catcher and outfield melted down completely  so one would not expect that UNC would get an inning like that every game and otherwise they did not score a ton of runs

the other inning that UNC had some of their runs they got a clear gift on that 3rd base play....and sure gifts happen for teams in many games, but that one was pretty critical to that inning

overall I think the weaker team won and they still wore themselves down to do so

now for a UW win and that would be even better

    I kind of enjoy going to SECRant, because every other school's posters hate A&M and make fun of them, but there are still a few aggies hanging around, desperate for acceptance, taking the hate.  T

    Texas (0-2 Big 12 tourney) and Tech (1-2 Big 12 tourney) both make it to Omaha.  Conference tournaments are becoming a waste of time for fans and coaches.

Do they empty the park after this game and then re-admit?  

Yep.  Next game starts at 7:36.  Anyone know who's playing?

Miss State and Washington

Like, Washington DC??

Long way from sitting at Graves field to tonight...  I think I'm more nervous about this game than the game tomorrow.

I was glad it didn't end up being a 1 run victory for the Heels due to that bad call, but no doubt it still had an impact on the game. Fuck those stupid replay rules...just get it right

4:26  long game
This is my problem with college baseball. The pitchers work sooooo slow. And god forbid any traffic on the bases.

OK, I'm signing off to fully concentrate my efforts on drinking heavily and yelling at the TV. 

See y'all on the other side.

Thought you were there? 

Why have we not seen Mangum's mom and sister yet?

 

edit - nm, there they are

This is painful...

I guess a double in a scoreless game in the 8th isn't enough for ESPN

A little uncomfortable, but it got a little dusty here. 

ugh, that was painful.  Broad could have managed that better.

Scoreless through 8

i have osu winning it all through the loser's bracket, so i'm batting 1.000 right now. historical record be dammed.

obviously, i also have the horns not losing a game in my "alternate" bracket

 

Wow, you gotta get that down

Is it just me or is this side of the bracket not exactly impressive?

Bot of 9.  Runners at 1st and 2nd.  1 out.  Wash in deep hole.

ballgame.  Outfield playing in too close and ball goes over R fielders head.

Miss St wins 1-0.   Good game,.  

aggy is happy.

Wasn’t that a defensive replacement in RF too? I know one of the teams did.

Good plan.

State with the walkoff double over the right fielder's head.  Seems like they were playing the outfield too shallow.  I know you want to have a chance to throw the runner out at home on a single but I think you have to be able to get to that ball that landed short of the track.

Thought so. 

The runner was on second, not third. Why play so shallow?

Apparently their interim head coach wants to be the perm coach.  

I think Washington played well and certainly did not embarrass themselves.

I don’t know shit about the arm strength of their outfielders, but maybe they were playing at a depth where they could throw a guy out at home on a single, and hoping to be able to get back to anything in the air.

Well, their defensive scheme backfired on them.  Coaching error, for sure.  Wash played very well.

That wasn't a coaching error.  They made a smart probability play and the dice just came up snake eyes. 

You see a grounder get through the infield much much much more often than you see a ball hit to where that one was (especially with how the wind was blowing), and a grounder through the infield would have won the game, too, if they had been playing at normal depth.

Maybe...but I’m pretty sure that you can run forward faster than you can run backwards.

And it's easier to make a catch running forward than backward.  And with runner on second, rather than third, it's a dicier proposition.

And, I would argue that a deepish fly (an easy out in normal depth, Lowell's pop up) is more common than a grounder getting through.
