it’s typically an entertaining tournament.

it’s a much shorter drive.
tournament lasts only half as long as the CWS.

so it’s actually a lot easier and cheaper to attend than Omaha is.

My position is that Ole Miss has struggled to win consistently because they’re Ole Miss (WAOM) who share a small state with another in conference school and have lacked resources relative to top tier programs while hiring mediocre to bad coaches, not because of anything that happened 30-70 years ago.




I agree this is far and away the primary reason for them sucking ditch water most of the time.

If that civil rights era stuff still mattered Bama and other major SEC schools wouldn’t be signing 5* black kids from CA.

If it mattered for OM it would matter for other schools which tells me it’s not a primary factor in their decision making.



I don't know if it has any relevance whatsoever today, it may not.

I'm just pointing out that Ole Miss proudly and openly flaunted it a lot longer than other southern schools did.

In the late 90's, they were still waving confederate flags in the stadium.
it's only been about a decade that the band stopped playing Dixie.

Everyone involved with any of those issues is dead.


Ole Miss didn't stop waving confederate flags around at games until the late 90's.

pretty sure a shite ton of those guys are still alive.

That's my question. I'm guessing you get a new sticker whenever you renew your registration.


not sure how it will work in Louisiana.
but in Texas i renewed my registration by mail and received a new sticker like a week later.

no inspection, never asked for proof insurance, nothing.

and if it's multiple runs, then it won't be 1-1.

it can NEVER be 1-1 without it being 1-0 first



guess we need a definition of "common"

is he going by any score that ever exists? then yeah 1-0 would be the next most common.

if he's going by number of innings that end with a particular score, then 1-0 may not be second.

Show me where the sea level is rising.



if we talking the height of the river, that actually is going up.

not because of more water, but because the levees prevent the sediment from spreading out, so it builds up in the lower parts of the river. and in turn the height of the river also goes up.

New Orleans is sinking. River is going up.
no bueno for the city....eventually

re: Is this year an outlier?

been to a regional 4/4 years prior to this season.
won a natty 2/4 years prior to this season.

this season absolutely sucks.

this one is the outlier

no one thing will "kill" the sport.

but, these things

quote:

12 team playoff
Transfer portal
NIL

Congress getting involved in the sport

Now it's the 24-team playoff



have made me increasingly less interested in the sport as a whole and I'm nowhere near as invested in the season as I once was.

baseball games take too long AND there's very little actual action.



hate to break it too you, but there is actually more "down time" in a football game than there is in a baseball game.


quote:

A college football game consists of 60 minutes of official game time (four 15-minute quarters), but the average amount of "actual action"—defined as the time from when the ball is snapped until the play ends—is only about 11 to 15 minutes per game. Despite this, games typically last over 3.5 hours, with the rest of the time spent on commercials, huddles, and timeouts


quote:

An average baseball game (similar for college and MLB) contains roughly 15 to 18 minutes of live action. While games last 2.5 to 3+ hours, "action" is defined as time when the ball is in play, including pitches, fouls, and base running, making up about 10% of the total game time.




quote:

Under your rule, coach can’t make a change based on what the pitcher tells him when he comes out there.



quote:

Correct. And, in practice, that almost never happens anyway.



um, it happens all the fricking time.

coaches regularly use the mound visit/discussion to help make his decision to change pitchers or not

it may not be THE deciding factor, but it absolutely plays a part in the decision.

and I'm not talking about injuries either.
how fatigued the guy may be, ball not acting the way he's wanting it to, head ain't right after a bad result on a previous pitch, etc.

that's info that isn't readily available without talking to the pitcher first.
sure you can take a guess based on your view from the dugout, but you don't actually know until the conversation happens.

quote:

An umpire that has numerous calls challenged successfully should be expelled from home plate duties.


except we’ve already pointed out the flaws in the ABS system




this is a strike according to the rule book.
ABS would call it a ball.





this is also a strike according to the rule book.
but ABS would call it a ball.






this call was wrong by less than a milimeter. and actually if the ABS plane was 8-1/2” closer to the mound (at front edge of plate) it wouldn’t have been overturned at all.




this one was off by 0.1” and got overturned.



quote:

What are the flaws of a 100% electronic system?


it uses the black of the plate, which according to the rules is not part of the trike zone.

it only reads ball at the midpoint of the plate leaving the front 8-1/2” uncovered despite being a part of the strike zone.


as the guy before me pointed out, there are external factors that can affect the equipment’s accuracy readings.

quote:

The challenge system is so stupid. Just automate every single pitch and buzz the umpire in real time to alert whether it’s a strike or ball.



because theres's major flaws with the ABS system too.

using a hybrid model between the two is better than using strictly one or the other.
