ESPN celebrated some rag from the WNBA yesterday who recorded a triple double. You're wondering why the it's no longer called the CWS?

It happened before. They were ahead of us 5-4 before we won in 2002 and 2005. Pierce has his work cut out for him.

I don't really feel the need to weigh in on a thread that doesn't involve Texas, even though I'm paying attention to the series. That said, I'll try to clear my posts with you in the future, because God knows I wouldn't want to upset some random jackass who offers almost no content but infinite snark. He's not even close.

From Wiki The event's official name was changed to "Men's College World Series" no later than 2008. The most recent hosting agreement between the NCAA and the city of Omaha and related entities, signed in that year, states, "The official name of the [championship] shall be the NCAA Men's College World Series". However, as of October 2021, the CWS logo still appeared on the NCAA's official D-I baseball tournament bracket, and on the front page of the NCAA's official CWS website, without the word "Men's". The NCAA has since added "Men's" to the event's logo, and both the NCAA and College World Series of Omaha, Inc. (CWS Omaha), the nonprofit group that organizes the event, now consistently use the phrase "Men's College World Series" to describe it.

June 27, 20232 yr he’s 100% in the conversation. Yeah, I’d say so. At least individual seasons.He’s a run lower than the best team ERA. Almost two runs lower than than #2 then 3 runs lower than his own team.Then when it counted, he got it done in a huge way.

This. On my first post I was thinking career, not single season. That landscape has changed so much that I don’t think there’s any fair comparison to be made between pre and post NIL pitchers.

I don’t think anything comes close to Swindell in ‘85. 15 complete games, 204 strikeouts, whip under 1. Swindell is also the career goat Edited June 27, 20232 yr by hobbes2702

It’s not, but he’s 6th all time in innings and no one has been close in the last 20 years or so. He is also 2nd in wins in season, 5th in complete games, 10th in Ks.

This is what happens when a very good hitting goes against mediocre pitching….the only game that was a good game was the first one. Teams scoring 18-24 runs in the finals of the World Series is ridiculous.
