They are.  Stacking them....not so good.

Nomahogs once more.

Only one SEC school will make the CWS from that side of the bracket with the pigs and whistlers gone.

Anyone beating Wake Forest in Omaha (assuming they get there—-which I believe they will)?

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Hoosiers score first.

Hopefully Texas as they would be our first round opponent.

[WBT 20670]

Indiana St gets to host a Super now.  Too bad TCU is going to steamroll them.

Good start for the Hoosiers.

Wake hasn't made the CWS in 68 seasons but some of y'all are trying to pencil them in as champs.

Also the #1 overall hasn’t won in a looooong time 

1999 to be exact.

Man on 3rd with one out and Indiana can't get him home.

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

Not a big pinstripes guy, but Coastal's are pretty clean. 

 

Still dumb wall though.

I like them to be the first overall #1 to make Omaha since 2018.  Probably a crapshoot once they get there.

[WBT 20670]

Bases loaded Kentucky.  Indiana might want to think about throwing strikes 

[Valmy77 13273]

I don't know if Indiana's 1-0 lead is going to hold up.

[sidis 9832]

50 runs by TCU in three games against pigs is nuts.

Arkansas is ALWAYS worse than everyone thinks. 

 

 

Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup, baby

Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around?

And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby

When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still

I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'

You know that I have from the start

So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart.

[Horny Bull 2766]

1-0 Duke

[WBT 20670]

Who needs an ACL anyway?

[Gatorubet 30316]

Tech had a woody for a while.  13-1 in our two games after the one run loss.  

As happy as I am to be advancing to the Super Regional - I’m also way excited not to have to listen to that whistling bullshit from Vandy.

Dumb bitch doing PBP still can't recognize a HR until the ball lands 50 feet behind the bleachers:

It's a damn shame that she couldn't be the one on the call for this one:

Wonder if our local fashion/makeup artist cop has noticed all of the YoYo face paint around the tournament?

[Underdog 28774]

What a silly challenge by UK. 

[TexArcher 38070]

Hey, buddy...  Nice pitch...

 

[Underdog 28774]

Both teams miss golden opportunity to do some damage with bases loaded and no outs. 

[Gatorubet 30316]

Go Duke!  

 

….. first time I’ve ever said that.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Indiana State will not be hosting a Super at their stadium

I admit that I dont watch too much SEC baseball, especially on TV.

I just realized that the Kentucky pitcher is wearing a SEC patch on his arm that has a tiny rocker badge underneath it.

That rocker badge says "graduate"

 

I really dont look forward to the team having to wear that knda of shit when our seniors are out there in 2 years

A lot of schools do something like that now.  

Hell, Colorado School of Mines does it.  

[Gatorubet 30316]

Lots of good defense in the Indiana Kentucky game.  

Indiana gonna win.

Are sacrifice flys a thing of the past? Do analytics say don't do it? I have never watched regular season baseball but the little post season baseball I do watch I can swear it seemed sacrifice flys were automatic back in the 90s and 2000s once someone got on third base.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Coastal Carolina reliever comes in and promptly throws 8 straight balls, 2 of which reached the backstop.

Sacrifice flies have never been something that you can try to do. 

If you look at flyball rates with a runner on third and less than two outs, it is historically no different than overall flyball rates.

HR by Digiacomo for Duke.  Wonder what the story is with him transferring out of LSU.

[shadow_operative2.0 16029]

4-2, Cats. 

[WBT 20670]

That fucking six flags song over and over.  I think they're forcing me to root for LSU next weekend.
