If I heard correctly, I think schools have to bid to host this year. Highly doubt anybody outbids us for a chance to host. Regional or Super Regional 

Are there any restrictions still in Austin because of Covid or is this the Texas athletic department? 

I think the NCAA is looking to make money. Texas is still at what like 20% capacity while SEC teams are packing these stadiums. At least that's what I saw in this Ole Miss/Arkansas series. 

I just hope there aren't restrictions in Austin that limit the capacity of crowds because I think that might have an impact on hosts. I'm just spit balling here so somebody can tell me if this is a dumb thought.

Bids are always required to host.

UT property isn't subject to Austin Fire code regs, as it's state property. I'm guessing it's the same way for the stadiums, crowds, etc but who knows ...

Most people who want to be vaccinated should be by June. Hopefully most restrictions in Central Texas will be lifted by then.

...and doesn't the NCAA make most or all of its money from the bids from the schools, & not the actual gate? I was thinking the schools get most or all of the gate. Am I misremembering?

Guess I missed a fun one

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

The replay is on LHN now. It’s still fun

[lemonandaturd 4285]

Ivan is a bad bad man.  

[Pato del Muerto 52616]

Cool. Just put it on my iPhone in my camper in a Longmont, CO Walmart parking lot.  As one does.

This might be true which would disprove my point. Hopefully, that's the case.

Yeah I'm certainly not sure. Just seems like I remember having heard that. I'm sure someone here will know  ...

[Steel Shank 9432]

This is the time of the year that I lay the most pipe.

[ImissWallyPryor 9046]

Ah, the spring rut. 

[Machinator 32099]

[zlavydra 2123]

That's more like it. Would switch Melendez and Ardoin since it's possibly an extra AB for Ivan. Also maybe switch Kennedy and Faltine, so that Kennedy is like a second lead off hitter in later innings.

This is turning into a pretty nasty lineup. 

Let's see if Kolby has some good stuff today. 

[Machinator 32099]

Scoreless first half-inning for Kubichek.

[Machinator 32099]

Zach ZuBBia.

[Machinator 32099]

Zubia stranded at first.

0-0

[Machinator 32099]

A pop-up dies in the infield turf for a single. Next batter flies to right.

0-0 

[Machinator 32099]

0-0 after 2

[Machinator 32099]

Diving stop by Zubia to finish off a 1-2-3 inning for Kubichek in the third.

[Machinator 32099]

Antico two-run shot.

2-0 Texas

[jw4381 3095]

That looked like a routine flyball coming off the bat.

[Machinator 32099]

 

[Machinator 32099]

 

[Machinator 32099]

2-0 Texas after 3.

[Machinator 32099]

Solo bomb for KSU with one out.

2-1 Texas

[zlavydra 2123]

Does this k State pitcher have anything? Sounded like we were making good contact, and I see Anticout-of-here went yard again.

He’s got a good hard sinker that he locates pretty well.  Originally signed with Arkansas.  The pitch to Antico was up and out over the plate. 

[Machinator 32099]

2-1 Texas B4

Wow what a fucking play. Trying to keep up while watching the Masters.

[Fletch 5800]

Holy fucking shit, Ivan 

[Biff Tannen 45750]

I mean. This is a joke now. Over the monster. 6 games in a row?  7?

[txhorns 2413]

Over the batter's eye!

[WBT 20672]

Time to move the CF homerun rule back to over the monster

[Machinator 32099]

4-1 Texas. Ivan has to have set a record by now.

[txhorns 2413]

That wasn't just a meatball down the middle either.  Melendez went out and got it.

[ztejas 43546]

Yeah that was a fucking bomb. Could have been 430 out there and that's still over the fence.

Unreal

[Machinator 32099]

 

[WBT 20672]

Might be time to move the guy with the 1.100+ OPS up in the order too

[ClubWhatever 12158]

Kennedy’s bat is sluggish.  He is fouling off meat and popping out too much.

Not necessarily.  Sometimes that kills a good thing.

But.....having him batting clean up sounds pretty ideal

I agree just saying that sometimes moving a hot hitter up in the order kills him.

Agree. I wouldn’t mess with him right now.

Yeah I know. I’m superstitious about lineup and pitching rotation changes. Don’t fix what ain’t broke. But damn it’s gonna be tough keeping him out of the 4 hole. Especially with the way Daly gets on base and how many walks Zubia takes
