re: If you dropped the current Colorado Rockies into the CWS how would they do?

Exactly I would agree
Which is why I don’t think necessarily looking for “players that fast tracked” are always the best bet here in regards to hitters
There are guys in college that had awesome numbers and were better than guys who end up being elite in the majors
I think you need to find a team that had elite college pitchers that were high draft picks. I don’t think it’s as important on the hitting side because some aren’t even looked at in the majors for a variety reasons

A lot of really good college players don’t stick in the show.
The middle relievers of a MLB team would start Friday night over the vast majority of SEC pitches not named Paul Skenes or Tim Hudson.
The position players would all bat over .450 against college pitching.
The dudes are pros on a big league roster. They might not shut them out, but any seven game series would be 4-0 more than 4-3

For a college player to have success against MLB pitchers, they have to be close to MLB ready while in college. That’s why they’re the only bet here. Judge wasn’t fast tracked either. Judge’s last year of college ball was 2013. He made his debut at the end of the 2016 season
Guys like Gavin Dugas who hit 20 HRs a season in college struggle to hit .200 in A ball with only a handful of HRs. And these A ball pitchers are mostly either raw high school projects or college pitchers that never go any further. The guys who pitch on bad teams in the majors would dominate almost all good college hitters

You are a complete imbecile

The chances of them losing a game to a college team would be very very slim and require them facing a pitcher like Skenes and some position players like Wyatt Langford, Dylan Crews, and Jac Caglianone. Basically, players that are fast track to the MLB level players and on the same team.
You'd need an incredibly smart catcher just as much as a once in a generation pitcher and your coaching staff would have to be the absolute best b/c it's not like the pitcher is going to be calling all of his pitches all game long either.

Even the Pioneer League would mop the floor with every team in the CWS.

Same chance as a really good Tuesday night slow pitch softball team.

College sports fans want so badly to be able to say that college sports are better than pro sports. The Rockies would run the table in the CWS and the Browns, Titans or Giants would have annihilated Ohio State.

I think the fact that the players aren’t as good and the outcomes more unpredictable make college sports better.

MLB split squad during a spring training game.
Most MLB split squads feature 3-4 regulars in the lineup, tops. Really bad analogy.

So, would they win the CWS if dropped into it this year?
Easily. If there was a run rule in postseason baseball, they’d probably run rule every team they played

On its best day a good college baseball team is somewhere between single and double A ball.
The Rockies could go 0-162 in mlb and would still handily beat any college baseball team.

I don’t think he became unhittable to them in 2 years
Touched him up for 3 in a 5-2 win

1980 was a once in a century upset. USSR beat them like a drum the previous week, so a LOT of things had to go their way in the rematch, which they did.

Those two things are absolutely true and it’s defensible to say they help make the overall product and experience are better, but the respective talent levels don’t compare.

5 pages in, not a single person agreeing with you and amazingly, each post gets dumber and dumber. Incredible stuff really

To that I raise you the SLU Billikens getting manhandled by the Cardinals 15-2 all the way back in 2008.

I pointed out they actually did score runs against one of the current 2025 Colorado Rookies starting pitchers. I think that is worth mentioning to him, no?
