So it’s best of 3 series against Virginia right

 

[Jackcrevol]

Honestly I'd be shocked. Some MLB experts predict 80-90% of pitchers are currently juicing the ball. More reason MLB is the worst league that exists...they don't care and never have.

Tom House was his trainer, just read. Who used.

No it's similar to regional. We face UVA then it's double elimination from there involving Tejas and winner of ND/MSU

Double elimination tournament like the SECT.

No but we play them first.

The eight winners of the super regionals head to the CWS in Omaha. They are split into two double-elimination brackets, consisting of four teams each.

College World Series Finals

The winners of the two CWS brackets meet in the CWS Finals, a best-of-three series to decide the NCAA champion.

 

[Devo182]

Double elimination tournament like the SECT.

Only difference I believe is the championship is its own best of 3 series. Even if you lost a game in your half of the bracket. So you could potentially lose 2 games in Omaha and win it all, like Oregon St did in '18.

 

[Devo182]

Do we want Miss St here over ND?

Considering we run-ruled then in our 1 game, I'd like our psychological advantage if we did eventually face them.

 

[engineerVOL]

Because everyone else at that site got beat. When the host gets beat, the remaining games are still played.

So if, say, Wright State had won our bracket, they would have played LSU in Knoxville?

Alright lets start this Monday off right. What do we think happened with AV.

1. He was captured by aliens on the moon.
2. He went to the moon and saw that we never went so he was killed by the US Govt.
3. His access was cut off.

I think he was OCI reincarnated.

 

[engineerVOL]

Very cavalier of you.

Virginia is for Losers.

Don’t tase me.

I think so. Would be funny to basically have to beat a bunch of SEC teams again to win it all.

 

[Devo182]

Not a lot in terms of common opponents, but here we go:

UVA
2-10 LOSS vs Liberty (Away)
6-5 WIN vs Liberty (Home)
3-4 LOSS vs USCe (Away)
3-2 WIN vs USCe (Away)

Total: 2-2
-7 total runs scored

UT
10-4 WIN vs USCe (Away)
2-3 LOSS vs USCe (Away)
5-4 WIN vs USCe (Away)
9-3 WIN vs Liberty (Home)
3-1 WIN vs Liberty (Home)

Total: 4-1
+14 total runs scored

State.

Those distracting, butt ugly batting helmets of ND's are too much to endure for 9 innings. They need to matte those things out.

 

[Revived2002]

This baseball team is ranked #3 and is playing like #3 when it matters most.

That alone distinguishes it from much of UT athletics over the past 20 years.

 

[Devo182]

As long as neither was one of the 20 eligible sites, which I don't believe they were.

The more I read the more it seems this is partially a covid thing...?

Who funded those studies, travel ball coaches? The problem is travel ball coaching. They want to win so bad they will risk a young persons arm before it is mature enough to handle that type of workload. The reason Nolan Ryan could handle it is because his arm had developed before he pitched 235 pitches in a game. Youth sports are causing problems with major league sports.

That is another thing to look at…. How has the emergence of travel ball affected arm injuries…There is innings limits in travel ball as well so they can’t pitch a kid continuously….. typically, at the youth travel ball level….. kids throw a small bullpen session Tuesday or Wednesday and then pitch on the weekends….. is it still too much? I don’t know…… I do think some of the training methods have negative effects on kids….. I’m very much against throwing weighted baseballs….. I feel it is bad on those young arms.

As for mechanics….. Dustin may who is out with an arm injury….. last year threw a 98 mph pitch that moved 17 inches….. that’s just not natural….. some of the ways guys torque their arms nowadays is unreal.

I have to say, the hate coming from the corn dogs is fantastic. I love being hated again.

 

[PYSCHO]

Nolan was also a genetic freak who threw mostly with his legs.

perfect mechanics and had the strongest legs on the Team. Met him twice and a nice guy too. He came and gave lessons/etc when I taught at Jim Rice Baseball School to all the kids. They say he can go out now and still throw mid eighties at his age. He really took care of himself. Said he hurt on time at the Mets and would never happen again.

his crouch and leg drive was just unreal

Can somebody tell me why lazy fu### are still getting pandemic unemployment assistance on top of unemployment to sit on their a$$e$.

 

[Devo182]

Looking well ahead to "#2". Just sayin...

Texas:
Top 25: 8-7
SEC: 3-3 (all 3 wins vs USCe)


UT:
Top 25: 15-8
SEC: 25-12

Look at all the complete games Bob Gibson had in his career and mechanics were not good but fit freak and a no nonsense pitcher. A hard thrower
