Austin Regional Thread

[Ignatius 4,017]

Announcers on UCLA-Army game talking about Florida going “2 and Q” in their own regional. 
 

Is it really “2 and Q” if you’re anywhere but Austin?

if you look at the weather radar, the cell that caused the delay pretty much popped up in Westlake Hills directly.  at 12:10 nothing. by 12:25 a fucking huge cell is there moving east. 

Just another reason to hate Westlake.

So, somewhere around 830 at the earliest for the Horns. Game will last to early morning and loser will have to be up early Sunday for an 11am start (like 2009 against BC). 

Better bring the A game.

why would you hate an innocent high school that has nothing to do with any of this?

Yep. I've heard it at all kinds of tournaments, in different sports, in different states. even other countries.

I'm here at the athletic center by the high school to watch my little brother play basketball. Fucking $19 for a one day ticket to watch 17 year olds play basketball.

Watch it! Huston, Will Crouch, Etier and the Shaw brothers did their fare share of making us former Westlake baseball players proud

Well, there is the original place.

Though technically, the original place would be outside Rosenblatt.

Some of y'all keep saying our game won't start til 830, and will go to the wee hours. Do we really expect both games to go 3:20+?

Even if Fairlfield/Southern hits just under 3:00hrs as you'd expect, with the :55 minute time delay between games.  It's just basic baseball timekeeping and match...our game doesn't start until 8:00p on TV.  First pitch probably until 8:10/8:15p.  just the way it goes.

I view 8:30 as sort of a worst-case scenario (for a 9-inning game).  It could end up starting 30-40 minutes earlier than that.

Of course if Game1 goes into extra innings, our game could start a lot later, too.

This fucking sucks.

[Guest Lobo]

it beats the #1 seed in the winner's bracket having go play a double-header on Sunday.  We should be wrapped up by 11:30p tonight.  Not ideal.  IF we lose, it'll suck ass having to turn around 12 hours later for next game.  BUt if we win, it's all good.  But yeah...there's a good chance that this regional gets a game pushed until Monday and not because of "if necessary game 7" kinda shit.

$15 to watch my 13 year old daughter play. Fucking ridiculous when they have 3 two day tournaments a month.

Stream link for Fairfield-Southern.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,204]

So has the game started yet?  Went to the Southern live stats and it's not showing anything yet.

EDIT:  NM, see it now.

Yeah I mean I know games can go long, but average length isn't 3.5-4 hours - assuming the weather holds. 

[Guest Lobo]

Nobody is saying 4 hours.  Fairfield/Southern just started about 4:30p.  Assume a 3 hour (or slightly less) game then the 1 hour inter-game wait that UT says.  That means, usual baseball shit:

game 1, 4:15-7:00p

waiting time, 7:00-8:00p

game 2, 8:00-11:00p  

We either start tonight between 8:00/8:30a or it gets punted until Sunday morning.

Pretty sure the average time for a 9 inning game is around 3:15 so I’m thinking 8:30 start for us

Radar shows weather moving into town from the west where I live (approx. 30 miles), and I think it will be a small miracle if they get through the first game without at least one lightning delay. Pretty good buildup over towards Johnson City right now...hope I’m wrong, but still gonna be a late night no matter what.
Loser gonna have to ready early Sunday too.

TV and the NCAA set start times....
Give the local sites some leeway to change start times and you can get games in (or at least start) between storm cells.

Any idea if the concession stands will stay open with the late start? It’s my intention to drink heavily 

[ztejas 43,414]

Why tf was 3rd base playing so far off there? SS came up with it anyway. That should have been a routine force out to 3rd.

Well my point was that if there’s heavy rain or lightning, they aren’t playing in their scheduled window anyway so why not work to get games played when you know there’s good enough weather?  Especially when it’s all on espn+ and not a channel?

[dcar00 14,159]

this reminds of a friend who we used to go to baseball games with but he wasn't really a fan.  we'd get to the 7th inning and his mantra was "any out's a good out"

I think plenty of actual baseball fans have felt that way at a game they've been at at somepoint.

That's what I meant also by my posts. TV and their money stream ruins a lot of common sense.

[TexArcher 37,771]

This timing is ass.

[ztejas 43,414]

It's so amazing that pitchers in the bullpen have to warm up right next to the huge "36 CWS Appearances" graphic. Tell me that doesn't make some of those guys a little nervous when they're playing us.
