Yeah I don't get why they still play in that dump
May 23, 20232 yr Just got tickets to the ACC Championship at the Durham Bulls stadium. Can't wait, great ballpark for the event.
May 23, 20232 yr ECU lost 12-11 in 11 innings to USF. ECU blew a 9-2 lead, and even led 9-5 going to the 9th. They gave up 6 in T9, but scored 2 in B9 to force extras. Edited May 23, 20232 yr by Beau Vine

ACC does it right by rotating the stadiums. I went in 2007 (?) in Jacksonville when I was writing for CBS. I think they've been in about every minor league stadium in the Atlantic coast. Hell, they even scheduled Fenway, but bailed when they got cold feet about everyone paying $200/night for hotels.

This should be a heavy hit to their hosting prospects. Their only shot is probably to win their tourney and hope for others to falter. That’s probably about as bad a loss as you’ll get in the tourneys.

Dallas is like if you took Atlanta and removed all the sense of place, but left all the people, traffic, and corporations. Its all dick and no balls. Well, Kennedy was shot there. It does have that.
May 24, 20232 yr Dallas is the cocaine and boob job city of Texas. on the other hand, have you ever seen Dallas from a DC-9 at night?

May 24, 20232 yr Big Blue about to fizzle out of the SECT to Bama, currently down 4-0 going to the 9th.

Guess I'm pulling for them to win out in the tourney.
May 25, 20232 yr i’m still buzzed from my post game celebration watching the gators with a two strike three run walk off in the ninth to beat Alabama 7 to 6. Seeing those Gump’s crying was a wonderful thing.

May 25, 20232 yr @Beau Vine So how long before Jason Kelly uses Washington as a stepping stone to another program? I dunno that UW will do what it needs to be successful at baseball. He's already WAR'd himself. Him and Stankowitz have given Esquer a run for the money on the Pac 12 coach of the year. Washington should host with Texas as the 1 seed non host.
May 26, 20232 yr 1-1 Nebraska/Maryland in bot 10 on BTN. Don't believe I've seen an out called on HBP before, but apparently it changed in '19. https://www.closecallsports.com/2019/02/ncaa-new-rule-batter-kd-for-intent-to.html

May 26, 20232 yr Damn, rough way to go. Quote A college baseball player died after he was struck in the face when a makeshift dugout he was helping to dismantle collapsed on him this week. Angel Mercado, 19, was a middle infielder who had just completed his freshman season at Division II Central Penn College. He had been playing in a summer recreation league that held its games and practices in a park in Harrisburg. The coach of Mercado's team had built a makeshift dugout there out of wood on Sunday, but city officials told him it wasn't allowed. Mercado was among a group of players dismantling the structure Monday afternoon when it unexpectedly collapsed and he was struck in the face. Mercado suffered a traumatic head injury and was taken to a hospital, where he died Tuesday. The Cumberland County coroner's office ruled the death an accident. "Nothing criminal happened here," city spokesperson Matt Maisel said. "No charges will be filed against the coach. No charges will be filed against anyone. This is simply a tragedy."
May 26, 20232 yr Sad story and so damn young. Some Gator having himself an SECT, 2 Grand-slams and a solo shot last couple of games.
