Doc, I agree with you. I think we are in the minority though. If the new bats perform like wood I am fine with it. If they are less "lively" than wood, I will have a problem with it.

This will only help college baseball get more respect from people out there who aren't fans yet, but who don't give even give it a real chance because of lame jokes about the ping! sound.
Correct IMO. I don't know if you've heard the new bats yet, but the sound is very different from the old familiar "ping".

Again, we are in the minority here. Most of my friends are pissed that we are gonna see less offense and runs scored and they think that the games will be less entertaining. Mainieri has even said this. I agree with you that the games will likely be more like MLB games. Again however, if the new bats are less lively than wood, I will not be pleased. We will see soon enough.

I talked to an NCAA official, and their main reason for doing this is to "protect the integrity of the game" with a better balance of offense/defense.

Yep. This is the main thing to worry about.

Having both hit with one of these bats and seen the players hit with them and looked into the science, they are almost exactly the same as wood bats.
