Only 8 other fan bases are probably going to be glued to every pitch starting today....The 7 other teams participating, and Ole Miss fans that are scouting out who they hope can beat us. Games start in a few hours, so we can use this thread for the 3 games leading up to ours tomorrow. Let the games begin! OMAHA

100%. This is not just a rare year, the bats and/or balls were tinkered with. And I'm enjoying it. But it probably limits our advantage that we thought we may have against teams in the CWS that rely on the long ball more than us.

You can throw out the ball doesn?t fly in Omaha narrative. While it is true that a regular season baseball has a tough time flying out, these post season balls have been carrying all over the country. MLB did something like this within the last few years and the pitchers noticed first. It was done to create a more uniform ball. The seams were slightly larger in diameter, but this allowed them to tighten them more and create a more uniform, round ball with less drag in the air. Unintended consequences of trying to create a perfect ball.
No confirmation on this, but it seems like the MLB and NCAA are requesting a more uniform manufacture process for post season baseballs that are more closely monitored for QC. That?s why you get the 2021 NCAA tournament HR derby?s.
Also led to the increase in pitcher blisters in bigs.
