Yea, those of us who understand the strategy involved in late inning games understand how valuable it is to have insight when you bat as opposed to not having that same insight.

Somebody does not remember the Diamondbacks/Yankees World Series, for starters.

You're a Boston fan--remember game 6? Who had the advantage: the home team or the visitor?

Nobody is disputing that in a close game, home team has an advantage. It does not matter in this series though.


We are the better team. Period. Open your eyes and see that already.

Being the home team is a measurable advantage in baseball. It's a good rule though, having all games on home field and being the home guy is too much of an advantage.


So you leave the potential 3rd game up to a coin toss? Would you be okay with game 7 of the world series home/visitor being determined by a coin?

Why do they go with the higher seed? Because they earned it. Its stupid to not let the higher seed be the home team in a potential game 3, they've earned it.

You do realize they were IN Boston when that happened right? LSU is playing this series in Baton Rouge, we will have 11 thousand fans behind us, we got this.

I'd rather have the World Series decided by coin toss than a Royals/Cubs player getting a hit in an exhibition game in July.

That was also a fricked up series where we had to finish game one and play game two right after that. It was a very rainy weekend. And we are a much better team than last year. Also Stony brook was way better than this Oklahoma team.

We're still in the box. Who cares what side they're on. We end it tonight anyway and were 1-1 (home-visitor)... Why do y'all bitch so much? Do y'all only keep up with baseball when were NC contenders?

I'll feel differently about it when we come out and score 5 in the top of the 1st.

LSU could play 6 regional games and be visitors in 4 of them.

People should have a problem with that.

The NCAA does some of the stupidest crap. After all LSU has accomplished, the visitors get to use their locker room. Nice.

A minor disagreement with an NCAA rule makes one a "whiner"? OK.

No because there is literally nothing we can do to change that. Just win

Coin flip for the home team in the 3rd game is the stupidest rule in college baseball?

It's not that big of a deal. It's been EXACTLY like this for like 17 years.
