I thought it was ass shot. But yeah weather looks about right.

[Beau Vine 54,215]

UVa already up 10-0 on Army in 2nd.  3 errors so far for the cadets.

Tech 1-0 over UConn in 3rd.

Edited June 2, 2023 by Beau Vine

[WBT 20,564]

Tech now up 3-0.  According to Tech radio, UConn's #2 SP is out for the weekend with mono.  Poor timing.

[Welshy 907]

Tech pitcher had a no hitter to 6th with about 90% fastball with pretty amazing placement.

 

Too bad Tech doesn't have a game three pitcher, they'd be legit. 

[Had Enough 2,081]

Tech hasn’t won the first one yet. Only up 3-2 now.

[Beau Vine 54,215]

Wright State 5 Indy State 2, T5

Lipscomb 4, Clemson 3 T5

Completely agree. The drop off from their first 2 pitchers to everyone else is considerable. 

[WBT 20,564]

Three run blast and Washington is now up 8-1 on DBU in the 5th at Stillwater.  Keith on the call.

[WBT 20,564]

Ball State's started just pulled after 119 pitches and 7.1, trailing Kentucky 1-0.  Hell of an effort.

Touchdown in T5 for the Huskies.

[Had Enough 2,081]

The UConn lefty is tearing up the Tech lefties.

Sorta seems like the type of game Tech loses. Tons of base runners for them. Few for their opponent. Yet only lead by 1.

*starter

Ball State's pen wasn't up for it though.  Now 4-0 Kentucky after 8.  Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer for the first undeserved SEC host loss to the 4-seed.

[WBT 20,564]

UConn tying runner on 3rd doesn't try to tag up on 2nd out flyout to RF.  You have to go there.

And the next batter also flies out.  Still 3-2 Tech.

The lady waving that balloon in the 1st row of the Clemson game deserves at minimum a firm head slap.  That's some discourteous shit.

PBP chick doing the Duke game with the Rhadigan-level HR call:

And she has apparently never seen a baseball game before, because she did it again on another bomb by the same guy even though her partner was trying to help her out:

Bottom of the 9th and Tech brings in a guy with a 6 ERA whose only career save was last year?

It worked, Tech wins 3-2.

Edited June 2, 2023 by WBT

[WBT 20,564]

Wright State up 5-3 on hosts Indiana State after 7.

[Had Enough 2,081]

We’re putting the 40 loss team on ESPNU?

It's worse that that.

His pitches were pretty nasty. Ridiculous movement on his sidearmed fastball. Kinda guy that after 2 innings, you know what's coming, but for 3 outs, you have no idea what the ball is doing.

I wonder if Tadlock is playing the long game in regards to staff availability. Obviously a calculated decision believing they could close this one out.

I actually really like him on the Orioles broadcasts, but if you give him any chance to talk about LSU, he's gawdawful.

[WBT 20,564]

Indiana State takes the lead 6-5, headed to the 9th.

[Beau Vine 54,215]

UDub wins 9-5 and now it's time for Texas to start.  Perfect!

[WBT 20,564]

Indiana State wins 6-5.  Oregon wins over Xavier 5-4 on a 5-4-3 dp to end it.

He's got 2 decent pitchers/relivers out. I think he's throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks. Tadlock has build an impressive program in a backwater, so I'm not diminishing him, but this years team lacks meaningful pitching depth. OkSt winning 2 in a row in Big 12 championship is 100% on pitching and why Tech isn't buil;t for the CWS this year. I imagine deep thoughts from Tadlock like "he's wearing my favorite color. That's my starter for game 3.

Samford with 3 in T10 to take a 4-1 lead over USM.

Samford won.  I expected them to win that Auburn regional but probably not now.

Stanford up 6-2 on SJSU already in the 3rd.  Stanford's DH just had to leave after a HBP knocked his helmet down into his face and busted either his nose or lip.  Lots of blood on the towel but you couldn't tell where it was coming from.

Yeah, that was rough. SJSU is a fucking joke.

Troy's SP has 52 walks and 91 K's in 48 IP and a 5.36 ERA.  

Edit: my bad, they had a 2 hour rain delay and the SP only went 1.2 innings.

East Carolina vs OU

Finding it harder to root against OU than normal, East Carolina really annoyed me last year.

[Underdog 28,620]

UNC/Iowa feels like a matchup for March Madness, S16 perhaps. 

[WBT 20,564]

Florida is only up 2-0 on Florida A&M after 7 but Florida A&M pulled their starter after 6.  I'm skeptical that their bullpen can keep holding them down.

Honestly, OU baseball doesn't bother me that much. I don't recall their players or fans (all 113 of them) being total douchebags. Skip being there doesn't hurt. Still no reason to be swept at home by then though.

I once had mono for an entire summer. Turns out I was just really bored.

[WBT 20,564]

Lulz, 3-0 gata final.  Florida A&M's 2nd and 3rd outs in the 9th were runners trying to score from 2nd on singles getting thrown out at the plate.  I guess they were more worried with not getting shut out than trying to win the game.

A&M outhit them 7-5.

When they paired us with ORU, I knew it made sense on a regional basis but had a sinking feeling we were screwed…especially with sore arms from last weekend.

They look like the better team at this point. We’ll see what this team is made of. I have a feeling we already know.
