Just got home - a few thoughts...

- I thought the batters adjusted well towards the middle to end of the game. We banged out 10 hits - just did not get the hit with RISP.
- I can't stand this type of baseball. The UCLA game was atrocious. A pitcher throwing the ball that high over the middle of the plate should be punished.
- If this is Bregman's SO year, we win it all. He was too juiced to be in Omaha, too juiced to make big plays. Pressed too much. No longer an Omaha rookie, look out next year.
- Was a great run. I think we peaked early.
- Skip was a master. It really shows. I remember all those years he'd do some freaky stuff early to mid-season that cost us games, but come Omaha time those things allowed us to capitalize on championship winning moments. May not be another like him for a long time.
I like this team for next year. Mainieri will win another one.

If I have a gripe for today's game, it would be not being more aggressive on the base paths. The freshman had a high leg and slow delivery.

I agree with your entire post

The new bats/ball park combo is just as bad as what the bats in the 90s did but this time in the pitchers favor. You pretty much take away the element of the long ball and everything is an advantage to the pitcher. Huge foul territory, deep in the alleys/center, and positioned to where the wind blows in. I mean come on NCAA, yall went a little too far. I just imagine the guy who spearheaded this moment having flashbacks of when he was a pitcher getting rocked and vowing to himself to one day change the dynamic of college baseball from offensive to pitching oriented.

You hit the nail on the head with this. Skip was a goddam genius and master of the game. He recruited pitchers who functioned as middle relievers during the season but who all had the ability to start when called upon when Omaha came around. His teams were built for Omaha top to bottom and he played to win in Omaha. That's why many of his teams didn't win SEC titles - he didn't care about that. He only played for the big prize. CPM can't hold Skip's jock.

it is aggravating how they get away with it game after game, and we leave one up in the zone the guy takes it out of the park. maddening.

I almost hope UCLA wins it all with a post season batting average of like .207. You've got to believe if something like that happens they AT LEAST have to talk about it. Right?

Can't compare skip and pm. Different era and format. How many of skip's teams went on the road to win a regional? Off the top of my head can only think of 89 at a&m. Back then u just had to be a top 16 seed to host a six team regional, not top 8. We had a great team in 01 and lost to Tulane in the supers.

Bregman sure was out of his element. Was strange.

Bregman could come out next year and have a sophomore slump. I have seen this many times. He could end up being like Rymes who was a great regular season hitter but disappeared every post season.
