[Augustus 3061]

My team was atrocious.

Arkansas was #1 all year.

We're both watching the CWS on tv, and that makes me happy.

I'm not above pettiness at all when it comes to this stuff.

[Augustus 3061]

Quick bottom of 5th.

6-1 Pack.

Informative summary by Rogers and Fitt.

Should note that Chris Burke stated on SECN that Arizona's offensive numbers may be inflated due to the elevation in Arizona.   Claimed that was the case when he played for the Diamondbacks.    #SEC homer

 

 

 

 

 

well, I am smitten...

Tucson - 2389' MSL

Phoenix - 1086' MSL

Atlanta - 1050' MSL

KC - 909' MSL

 

I can see the argument for UA, but I'm not buying the Diamondbacks claim.

 

[elfenix 34168]

Stanford making a nice threat here

[Augustus 3061]

And just like that it gets interesting.

Phoenix is super dry. Probably the driest MLB location. Could play into it.

I don't know how much the lack of humidity plays into it, but during the summer the air gets thin enough that it grounds planes on occasion.

[Augustus 3061]

Badly need a double play here.

[Augustus 3061]

Strikeout will do.  Need one more.

Fuck

Sure double play eats up the third baseman, Stanford scores and everyone is safe

There were two outs

[Cairn Horn88 8148]

6-4 T of 8th

[elfenix 34168]

My bad. One eye on this.

[elfenix 34168]

These Sony Alpha shots ESPN is doing are even more magic than they are in NFL games

[Augustus 3061]

Holy shit, that RF'er wasn't running full out, ball gets over his head.

[Augustus 3061]

Nelson Cruz worthy

[Cairn Horn88 8148]

Sergio, using a wedge from about 50 yards, hits a ball that takes one bounce and hits the flag stick.   Ball kicks back off the green, rolls down all the way...back to Sergio’s feet!  Never seen that before!

Pretty sure I saw that in the 2003 CWS.

Carlos Beltran's niece

[Augustus 3061]

Blue is giving this dude a pretty low strike zone.  Giving the Stanford pitcher a few inches off the plate.

I'm 54 years old and I've never understood what's so hard about calling the strike zone as defined

Leadoff double for the pack

T9  6-4 NCS.

Is Mississippi State allowed to bring their cowbells into the stadium?

 

Base hit RBI!

Eric Gregg would like a word with you …

[Augustus 3061]

On top of a shitty strike zone, this guy is one of those umps who gives you the 2-second delay before he throws out his arm and calls the strike.

 

He's probably a child molester. 

[Machinator 32097]

Should have been a double play and instead its runners on first and second, no outs.

Yep.

Stanford doing everything they can to lose this game.  Which is fine.  They're gay.

[Mac8111 2103]

Get the fucking bunt down

[jimmyjazz 45513]

I meant to post this yesterday, but beer got in the way.  Using a proprietary algorithm -- I blend D1 and Nolan RPI, it's complicated shit -- here are the 1st game matchups, from easy to hard on the higher ranked team.

Tennessee/UVA

Stanford/NC State

Vanderbilt/Arizona

Texas/Mississippi State

 

So, NC State is doing their best to blow my incredibly complex analysis all to shit, which is a good thing.  The real takeaway is that UTenn benefits greatly from the draw, and we don't.  Fuck it, we're still the real UT.

All umpires are child molesters.  Especially that Don Denkinger monster.

[Mac8111 2103]

That second baseman is about the cry on the field

I can buy that.

But the delayed call is a special class of child molesting umpires.  

[Cairn Horn88 8148]

NCS putting this gane away.

[Augustus 3061]

Based loaded, one out.

Base hit scores two whoop!

Stanford is getting completely shit on.
