  1. Definitely generous, but looking at where the ball is caught can be a bit misleading with those sweeping sliders from lefties. If you pause when the ball just enters the frame at 0:01, it was probably only an inch or two off the black. Not a strike, but if the ump has been calling a wide zone and the pitcher is consistently hitting the target, it's one of those pitches that a pitcher will sometimes get. I think you have to look at this in the context of how an HPU has been calling the whole game. Would I love a perfectly calibrated robo ump consistently calling the strike zone? Absolutely. Would I miss the "art" of catching if we go to robo umps? Definitely, but I think the improvement in accuracy / consistency for most games (e.g., with umps other than the top 2-3%) would still make it worthwhile. My sense during this CWS is that the umps have been doing a pretty damn good job, though.
  2. Why does it feel like the Gators are going to tie it up or take the lead in the 8th or 9th, only to get walked off in the bottom of the 9th?
  3. Think the theory is that UF hit Prager pretty hard last time and they hadn't seen this guy before. I suspect they'd be happy to get 2-3 from him and see if Cortez can take them most of the rest of the way.
  4. Un-fucking-believable.
  5. Been an incredible CWS so far ...
  6. I wish they wouldn't make that kind of hypertechnical call when the pitcher isn't getting any advantage on the move. I fucking hate when a great game ends up being impacted by that shit.
  7. Kinda feels like the trashcan should be on fire tho ...
  8. We're well on our way ...
  9. I mean, if you made him pay for those gifts, he would have only paid about a million bucks for them, so for a highly principled guy like him, no way that impacts any of his decision-making, right?
  10. "DON'T FORGET THE FRIED CHICKEN!1! THEY BOTH LOVE FRIED CHICKEN TOO!"
  11. Wilson for Florida is having himself a day - 3 x 2B and a HR in the 9th that hit about 30 ft up on the scoreboard in left field beyond the bullpen. That thing was a BOMB.
  12. NCAA scoreboard is off. Florida is up.
  13. Nice jinx - S. Carolina ties it up on 2-run bomb with 2 outs in the B9.
  14. SEMO comes back from 8-0 deficit to tie it up 8-8 in the 5th. 4 seeds (other than Grambling) have been no joke so far.
  15. Jones is their 3rd / 4th best starter (along with Lamkin). Prager has always been their Friday guy, and Sdao has established himself as their 2nd best starter.
  16. Yeah - I think this might be enough to counter Trump's "pardons for any rapper defendant that endorses me" program ...
  17. Cool, you guys have calmed me down. But I'm counting on you to let me know when to start stockpiling weapons and ammo for the insurgency in 2025 and beyond, okay?
  18. Either that or "it could've been worse ..."
  19. Seems like the legal troubles are starting to have an impact, but call me when he goes full Turtle ...
  20. "Political beliefs"? Fuck ALL the way off with that bullshit.
  21. I mean, it should be pretty easy to establish self-defense when dealing with ol' Quick Draw given his history.
  22. Both Wunderground and Weatherbug show Austin coming in at 96 F with a 105 F heat index next Tuesday, so 2024 says "prepare your anus" ...
