appears NCSU has 5 starters from the first game with vandy.  I assumed it was only 2.

3B is playing SS and 1B is playing LF.

Yeah they have five real batters. I can see why they feel like they might have a chance.

Yep, I've seen umpires do this before in games I'm coaching after they have a second to think about a play. It's the good ones who never let their pride get in the way of making the right call in the end.

welp, so much for that? what the hell just happened?

I think it's the whole inadvertent whistle thing here.  Once the ump said "dead ball" he can't change it to live ball.  However, he could have let the play go, then reviewed it.

This series has exposed (once again) the need to douche the current umpire vetting process and get serious about providing quality umping in Omaha and NCAA Baseball overall.

Wait....WTF?

You know that over half your team isn't vaxxed (and thus is subject to the protocols).

You know that there's a "bug" going around your team.

And you just DGAF, and let them expose over half your team -- requiring isolation per the protocols that you knew about in step 1?

Jesus. What a dumbass.

I covered the ACC Tournament in Jacksonville several years back.  Avent struck me as a really likeable guy who was unfortunately about as bright as Ben McDonald.

NC State is getting boned.

The Umps clearly have no sentimentality about them.

Edit: Nevermind I guess they tried.

Humans need to be done on balls and strikes.

Awful.

But I will say ESPN has difficult angles to determine exactly how close some the pitches are. The angle is too high to tell low ball strikes in some cases.

What a terribly written rule:

So they were told from above that the note means that because the ball first touched the ground before the third baseman that conferencing to get that call right wasn't in the "Getting the Call Right" section. That is so clearly not the intent of this section of the rules.

This home plate ump gives Kumar that last strike 3 but won't give this NCST pitcher half the pitches in the zone. I need to stop watching I'm getting upset 

Sounds like the Texas vs. _______________ game.

Glad Austin Murr gets a shot with Highfill on.

Edit: Not that he did much with it. At least he hit the ball I guess.

Ok may the legend of Garrett Payne continue

Lulz, don't hold your breath on that one.

So what are we rooting for here?

Vandy whistlers to get sent the fuck home ASAP or Vandy winning here to force another game tomorrow with the risk of them winning again?

I am rooting for NC State to use up Kumar Rocker, and maybe their weird team of pitchers playing 1B, backup Freshmen, and rarely used pitcher playing the game of his life winning. Because that would be hilarious.

That chin and upper arm tells me she’s got about 3-5 years before ballooning up. Get your licks in while you can, boys. 

I came to Surly for the football hot takes but this is exactly the type of wisdom that has kept me around.

That is part of what needs addressing. But we know it won’t be. And I am not a proponent of changing the game. Just the obvious fail.
