UM is the luckiest team in America. Everything they have gotten all CWS has been handed to them on a silver platter. Their offense can do nothing without their bats unless you just give to to them.

Five man infield?
Never seen this
That is an interesting infield defense
OM Wins
Every run they have scored has been put on base by the other team. Hell most of the runs they scored those last two games in ULL were walked batters. Nothing special.
Sucks that what should have been an inning ending DP ends up giving them the win.
They play normal depth there, that's the 2nd out of the inning. Should've been out of it anyway.
I dont understand playing the infield in like that with a dp in play, why not have the 5th infielder just play right in front of second
And then those runners have advanced on unforced errors. Outside of Trent, UM has been nothing but dumb luck.Quote:

That was 100% pure luck. He had to almost throw the bat to even make contact that pitch was so far outside. At this stage it's better to be lucky than good. That was laughable.
Might happen. TCU is throwing their first round pick that throws 100. I think both are darn good.Quote:

Do we have a big enough sample size on Ole Miss as far as the bats go now? The guy that Texas Tech threw had an ERA of 3 something coming into today.
Doesn't matter who wins tonight. That team will make 8 errors and strand 17 vs Ole Miss and the Rebels will win 1-0 on 1 total hit and score on a balk from 3B.
The only thing that pisses me off is that it seems highly likely that they had to cheat to get to Omaha in the first place.Quote:

And who is the first one to congratulate John Gatlin on twitter today? ****ing Gregg Ellis, our basketball SID. Why the **** would someone from our athletic department congratulate them? Just because the kid is from Tupelo. Jesus H. Christ.
Other way around, I want Virginia to win because that means OM has to beat TCU and then Virginia twice. Tall task. Easier although not easy to beat UVA once and TCU twice.Quote:

Let me get this straight, if Ole Miss wins Thursday vs TCU or Virginia, they have to beat the other team twice to advance? I thought once they get past Thursday, it's winner take all, regardless of record. I thought Oregon State played us last year with 1 loss and we were undefeated. I thought if they had beaten us, they advanced. Maybe I'm crazy.
You're crazy ... OSU had to beat us twice.
Ok. Well, maybe that was SEC format I'm thinking of.
I sure a hell didn't congratulate Laxer and he's from my home town.Quote:

Correct. And I will say it again- Texas Tech pitched a pitcher with an ERA of 3 something. And he shut them down. They're also not a great hitting team either.Quote:

Not sure. I loved that team.Quote:

Apparently, the dead indians can't just take away all our good fortune, they have to transfer it. Must be a law-of-nature or something. I've always felt those bastards send our portion of good luck to Ole Miss.
No problem.
GTHOM.
Hitter is way out in front and falling out of the box but somehow gets a wipe out slider into the outfield. I think the NCAA may have missed one of the Webel's rolled bats during inspection.
I would rather have a hot poker stuck into my eyeball than to see Ole Miss win in anything. Now I know where my son gets his habit of throwing things from.
Hid one for a special occasion? HahaQuote:

Are the umps checking for non-removable stickers? Btw how is it non-removable and where do I get some of those?Quote:

Personally, I want TCU to win the whole thing. I don't like Virginia because their fans suck. I don't like Vandy because for some reason in baseball their fans suck. I want it to be a TCU vs Vandy final with TCU sweeping Vandy in the championship series. Ole Miss isn't beating either of these teams in the winner's bracket. Of course, the team that will win the whole thing will be the one smart enough to NOT throw their ace if they don't have to. If we had learned that hey maybe it would be a good idea to sit Graveman on that Friday game so he could pitch the first game of the championship series we could have won the whole thing last year.Quote:
