re: Hey look, it's another 1-0 ball game in TD Ameritrade Park

I think I saw someone say earlier that there has never been a 9th inning comeback at TD Ameritrade. Let's see if Indiana can be the first

correct, LSU v Texas in game 1 of the 2009 championship series was the last time a team blew a 9th inning lead. It's right around 50 games straight now

Hitters have no chance when the ball can be 4-6 inches off the outside corner and called a strike.

Is this the game thread?

How about this. If you're worried about it not looking like legit baseball, then move the fences in a little and make the move to the same balls as the bigs and wooden bats. College baseball has reached the point where the "wooden bats are too expensive" argument no longer works.

Yeah but it has nothing to do with its size. With the old bats guys still hit homers here no problem

the wind always blew out at rosenblatt and always blows in at TDA. It makes a huge difference. Add dead bats and non-MLB balls, you get games determined by slap hits, bunts, and errors

Indiana average 9.6 runs a game, beat Florida State by crushing the ball all over the park, and they just got complete game shut out by Oregon State's number 3 pitcher.

6 runs in 3 games.

Most soccer games have higher scores than this.

And there it is. We can compare baseball to soccer.

It isn't even close to that point yet, imo. There are over 200 Division I baseball teams, and some of the major conferences haven't even fully embraced and invested in the sport yet.

What do you think the NCAA would do of the final scores in the Final Four were 25-23 and 28-24?

I'm not sure why that would be a bad thing. They sound like pretty close games.
