That's an avg of 6.22 runs per game for the 2 teams. Take the one game away that was the extreme 11-4 game between Oregon st and Louisville the avg drops to 5.12 runs per game. And that wasn't a game where Oregon st just crushed Louisville made many errors to keep innings going. Don't want the old bats but changes need to be made

Yeah...the point in change was to more resemble the real game...professional baseball.

Where in minor-league or MLB do you see daily scores of:

12-10
11-10
10-8
14-13
14-4
21-14

Those are scores from 1998...when according to most on here...baseball was awesome.

That's not an odd # of score you posted. Hitting will adapt...more doubles/triples...over time.

Take away tonight's game and runs go up to 6.88 per game. What does it really matter?

I don't see more doubles or triples coming unless they change the ball or slightly make the bats have more pop. Outfield even dares you to hit doubles and triples cause they play so shallow to take away singles yet you still are seeing so few doubles which kind of shocks me.

I dont think anybody on here is asking to go back to 98. The bats were out of control and so was the Juicing. But the bats in 09 were not over the top.

Get the frick out of here with your crap. If you ever followed college baseball on here, you would know that FOR THREE YEAR'S now we have been saying that the 1990s bats were ridiculous, but the late 2000s bats were fair.

I would rather error on the side of 2-1 games compared to 12-10 games for sure but these games are a little to much like watching the softball World Series

Yeah you're comparison to 1998 is fricking stupid. They used -5 bats back then. Why don't you give us some scores from 2009 if you want to have a comparison remotely close to being relevant.

I could be wrong but I think try were using -5 bats in 98 and that was crazy everybody just played for 3 run homer I actually enjoy swing small ball played but give a hitter a chance

I've seen exactly zero people suggest going back to 98 and the -5 2 3/4 bats.

I haven't been able to watch 1 game (without LSU) during the CWS because its boring as shite. When 4-2 is a high scoring game, there's something wrong

Where in MLB do you see 88mph fastballs at the numbers get squared up and fall harmlessly at the warning track? Home runs are part of baseball. UCLA should be penalized for their strategy. Hell it never should've been a strategy in real baseball.

So exactly what should the scores be to keep you entertained? If the baseball team went undefeated and won every game by shutout 4-0, would you say it was boring b/c the other team wasn't scoring? No, you would probably be bragging about the scoreless streak even though that would actually meet your definition of boring baseball.

What? Of course not but that's not happening

Neither team can score. It takes away from the quality of the game

You won't see an answer to this question. More than likely the people that defend this are super badass 10 year old travel coaches or parents whose team bunts every time they get a runner on first because they're more fundamentally sound than most college coaches.

He said a 4-2 game was boring so by his definition 4-0 would definitely be boring.

You guys are being overly sensitive. Yeah there is an issue in omaha (but I think it has more to do with the way the wind blows), but believe it or not, good pitching is a part of baseball. 4-2 games are quite normal in conferences that actually have more than 1 or 2 good pitchers.

I said when a 4-2 game is considered high scoring, that's not good. If every game had at least one team scoring 4 runs, that's a completely different story

Of course good pitching is a part of baseball. But when every pitcher looks like an MLB Allstar, it gets to the point where its not just the pitcher
