Coastal Carolina seemed to be Mashing last year, looked like Skip's bunch out there.

The entire college baseball fan base knows it isn't what it use to be.

Ameritrade and the CWS are as boring as shite.
The homerun is part of the game. To almost completely remove that during the most important time of the year, the time where we separate the best teams, is ridiculous.

I don't care what anyone says, but a lot of the pitching stats you see in Omaha are fluffed.
The bats don't just take away the long ball, but also hard gap shots for extra base hits.

Bunting and stituational hitting are definitely part of the game, but it shouldn't be the only part.
The game was more exciting when a team down 3 could go up by 2 or 3 in one inning.
Watching runners be bunted over 11 times, shallow fly balls and a final score of 2-1 in Omaha is killing the game.
I love baseball, it's consumed most of my entire life, I love watching it regardless, but facts are facts.
The college game has become boring.

*someone mentioned the 2009 bats, those were perfect. As long as we have BBcore the game will suffer.

I miss the gorilla ball days.

If they're not going to change the bats, at least move the fence in 10-15 feet (depending on the spot - not suggesting moving it in 15 at the left and right field line).

If they did that teams could actually play their game and play the game that got them there in the first place.

Plus, it's college baseball's premier event. It would generate more interest in the sport as a whole to have more Warren Morris walk off moments and more homeruns in general.

The steroid era of MLB proved that there is a direct correlation between fan interest and power hitting.

College baseball really never was except in the southeast region. I'd rather have a competitive, championship-caliber basketball team that a championship-caliber baseball team. MUCH more prestige in the former than the latter.

I'd argue wood bats are better then the crappy bats they are using now.
