  1. The good news is Oklahoma beat Oregon to stave off elimination, so at least our softball team still has a chance at a title.
  2. Good thing the runner on 1st didn't try to advance while Mendoza was making no effort to retrieve his glove.
  3. I may have to permanently switch over to my other alma mater's game. At least they're beating OU.
  4. Good thing the softball team isn't still in Supers. Coulda been dangerous having a baseball land in the field of play during a game.
  5. Check that. Ground rule double, but only 1 run came in. 5-4 Wright State.
  6. Vandy tied it up
  7. UGA eliminated. Clemson eliminated. Vandy on the verge of being eliminated. Clearing the way for a decent team to play some "got-lucky" teams in Supers/CWS and have a much easier path to a title. A Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas, or North Carolina team is going to seize the opportunity if we don't.

  9. Wow. You damn near called it. Pitch clock violation K with the bases loaded.
  10. Hey now, don't steal my joke.
  11. I think if we can get up 6-1 by the end of the 4th inning, this game is over.
  12. Flores got a hit. I mean Flores got hit.
  13. He'd probably circle the mound, mean mugging the dugout and barking at the batter, then launch one over the backstop. Or whatever the pitching equivalent is of what he did at the plate in his last two ABs.
  14. Because it's easier to cope with the result that way.
  15. You have a severe comprehension problem, which is now evidenced by your reductionist fallacy. At no point have I drawn a direct link between facial hair and performance. I have drawn a link between mindset/focus/discipline and performance and suggested that a good way to correct the mindset/focus/discipline issue is to cut out all the extra bullshit. The theatrics are stupid for several reasons. It's another indicator of mindset/focus/discipline/priorities being in the wrong place, and it also makes you look dumb as shit when the guy locks you up so bad you don't even take the bat off your shoulder. I could draw comparisons to other contexts, but I doubt you've ever been more than a standard deviation away from the mean in anything, so you wouldn't know the difference anyway. In fairness, I could be wrong on that but I highly doubt it. Either way, I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I don't care if you agree or disagree. You and your opinion can go that way and me/mine will go this way.
  16. Cherrypicking exceptions that prove the rule doesn't make the point you think you're making. Quite the opposite, actually.
  17. Striking out looking with RISP, 2 outs, and the game on the line is unforgivable. Williams did it twice and Belyeu ended the game with it. Why'd they do it? Because even in that situation, they're looking (or guessing) for a certain pitch to hit - offensive/aggressive hitting - which is the wrong approach. Shorten up and commit to hitting defensively to all fields and you don't get absolutely frozen on a hanging curveball (or in Williams' second instance, a piped FB). It's basic shit and they won't do it, which makes me wonder if they're coached to do what they're doing or if they're just that far lost.
  18. North Carolina is one of the best teams in the country this year. They aren't the best at anything, but they are very good at everything. They are the definition of "built for Omaha" and will have to totally shit the bed to not make a serious run.
  19. Yes, I've pondered it and I agree with you. It also supports my point. All the more reason you can't do this...
  20. And I'd stuff your punk ass in a fucking locker if you acted that way to me in person.
  21. No discipline, no attention to detail, no doing the little things right, focused on all the wrong things (swagger and theatrics vs. getting a fucking bunt down), etc. I've been bitching about it since April and y'all were losing your minds over it. Hate to say "I told ya so"...but here we are.
  22. Just gonna pump breaking balls to Max. Low in the zone and we're toast.
  23. He'll go somewhere else with a real hitting coach and probably hit .350.
