I was just curious as to why the NCAA made the move to these bats? Was it because of injury? TIA

Fun police. More exciting baseball will not be tolerated.

Did you guys hear the announcers during the Saturday game I think that said that college baseball fans welcome 2-1 and 3-2 baseball games now instead of home run derby?

Batting companies like Easton and tpx said it needed mo $.

So Bbcor was created. Everyone including High schools, little league, etc. converted too. Go figure batting companies

the bats are bullshite. LSU should have had 4 HR's last night. These pussy bats let teams like UCLA win. It's an epic joke and needs to be fixed. UCLA should not have even been in that game last night.

Yup. A lot of people equate home runs with excitement.

Sure did.

Even today, at the end of the OSU game, Kyle P. mentioned the infamous 21-14 CG game and his partner said "well I prefer a 2-1 game like yesterday", and Kyle, advocating allowing minor league balls for more action, rightly said "well there's nothing wrong with 5-4 either."

I'm not so sure. These new bats are basically equivalent to wooden bats or even worse. So I would assume that College Baseball will eventually just go to wooden bats, might as well

So basically I think it would have been a huge risk for bat companies and their future to have pushed for the BBCOR

What new balls?

NCAA wanted safety. I wonder how many guys have been hit in the head because pitchers aren't scared to pitch inside anymore.

Probably not. I wold imagine that keeping a stock of wooden bats costs more than aluminum because they are not as durable and have to constantly be replaced.

Maybe. Or perhaps they should wake up and realize that the two aren't related.

Such is life. We can't allow people with better abilities to thrive and make the lesser-talented people look bad and feel bad about themselves can we?
Isn't this why every kid gets a trophy and nobody keeps score anymore in little league?
