No one caught the irony in this statement?
See I disagree though. At any given moment, either team could have rocked it out of the park. The reason they didn't was because of amazing pitching from both sides and great defense. In Omaha, unless your rip that ball to shreds, its not going anywhere.
Weren't there only two homers in all of Omaha this year? Katz being one of them?

Two pitchers who have been/will be picked high in the first round dueling and each defense playing its best vs. a team scoring two unearned runs while their pitcher runs meatballs up in the zone and gets them blasted to the warning track.
Exactly. Plutko is a good pitcher, but we were hitting him all day. It just happens that we were hitting it either right at people or fly balls were dying at the warning track.
I'm all for close games when its due to great pitching and defense. But if it's low scoring just bc no one can hit it out of the park, thats ridiculous.

The brilliance of a small ball team is when it works vs. non small ball teams in a stadium and with equipment that gives the long ball hitters a fair chance. Those pitchers then throw masterful games because the fear of homerun is always in the air. I appreciate small ball teams. But not when it succeeds only because the pitchers don't have to sweat a homer. That is certainly not baseball.
To those that say adapt - that is bs. Adapting is situational and yes teams need to bunt and manufacture run at times. But not for the entire CWS every team has to adapt to 1, yes 1 certain style of baseball. Thats just bs.

Both would be good moves.

Is there any validity to this actually happening? I hope so and am honestly curious if this is true or just another prayer from this board spoken like gospel

It's speculation, of course. There's been no official or unofficial info from the NCAA with regard to this issue.

No apparently LSU needs to learn to get legally hit while standing outside the batters box, then bunt and then get a ground single and do that over and over and over again until you have a 5 run lead.

Baseball is by far my favorite sport. But I watched maybe a total of 2 innings of the action in Omaha this year.
The ballpark ruins it for me.

The NCAA's Director of Championships & Alliances has been quoted as saying the only change that mite come into play, in 2015, is an adaption of the professional leagues' baseball. A committee met Tue in Omaha, comprised of researchers from Wash. St., Rawlings Sporting Goods & the director of the Baseball Coaches Association & the consensus was that the only possible game change would be the balls. He bragged that this yr's CWS set a record for average game attendance, thus proving that no changes are necessary despite only 3 HR's. CPM has been quoted as saying he cann't "entertain 11,000 fans by playing small ball."

Pretty much nobody outside Baton Rouge really cares about college baseball. It had no momentum so Omaha didn't kill anything.

I love that many think "small ball" teams will dominate the CWS, they didnt the last 2 years
Posted on 6/27/13 at 8:25 am to PsychTiger
It's not the stadium. It's the slowing down of the sport from the bats.
But most of all, the format of the CWS is way too drawn out. They should run Wed thru Sun and then go home.
The two together - slow baseball and a slow tournament are a disaster.
