I don't blame them. If you play on your home field, you should always bat last. Should be one of the benefits of playing well enough in the regular season and conference tournament to earn a regional and/or super-regional host designation.

The goal is for us to have 24 outs today! We don’t want to need the last 3!

Bartholemew made a comment in that thread that I think we can all agree:

Did you watch the game? The ump wasn't even consistent. We got a lot of gifts as well as LSU. It is time for robots to call balls and strikes.

What even LSU fans seem to forget every year….

It’s not the UNC regional. Its the Chapel Hill regional.

We bitched about it, too, when it happened to us. This time it’s in our favor so of course I like it but I can’t blame them for being unhappy.

It’s bs they aren’t home. Lsu has dealt that with too in the past.

NCAA is so dumb about it. Should be very simple rule

They were aggravated that LSU was a 2 seed in their regional. They are the #4 overall seed and get stuck with LSU. It sucks because LSU has a lot of talent and are playing much better now.

Damn. Earn the #4 seed, play at home against the defending champs and can't even get the last at bat.



You'll get to bat last tonight, don't worry

As they should. You play the season and get yourself in a position to host a win or go home game and they aren’t home? That’s bullshite.

The board seemed rather rational. Admitting that ump was all over the place and that both teams got gifts from the moveable strike zone.

They have every right to be mad that they are the 1 seed and are the away team twice against us. That sucks for them. Great for us.

I’ve always thought the home designation should go to the higher seed in games where the 2 teams have the same record and then the team in the winners bracket. Or maybe give the winners bracket team the option of being home in game 1 or the if necessary game

There really isn't a good reason that the lower-seeded team should not be home in every game, throughout the tournament.

I have to agree with them, but LSU has had to deal with the same thing in BR regionals.

If you host a regional you should be home team especially if it gets to a game 7.
