Going on about Auburn getting late games and having no clue they were because of rain delay. Meanwhile Auburn has a scheduled Super Regional Saturday at 4pm CT while his team is scheduled to start at 8pm.

No, he’s advocating for a format change to fix a problem that doesn’t exist outside of coaches prioritizing wins over players. Maybe he should advocate for pitch count limits and mandatory rest if he’s TRULY concerned.
Unprecedented Bitch Move

And that is shitty. Rain delay or not, you shouldn’t be playing baseball at midnight.

I have an issue with this part of his rant. Nobody HAS to come back and pitch. That’s why you have a full roster of players and a pitching staff.
Will he cry about the format in Omaha, too?

There’s a reason for that format and it’s because baseball is fickle so one loss shouldn’t put you out of a tournament, but if you deserve to advance and are good enough but had an unlucky game then you should have the pitching depth to climb out of the losers bracket.

The Omaha format has the same 4-team bracket, but days off in between. Much more spread out.
But, I don't have a problem with the regional format. Ole coach should have seen the 6-team regional format that was around for years. Loser bracket path required winning 6 games in 4 days.
This current format stretches teams in different ways at each level. He doesn't like it, but I do.
I do think we'll see more and more "upsets" at regionals due to talent being more spread out now with NIL/transfers.

Are most of the people here retarded? He didn’t do what he is talking about. He said he saw on tv, when they weren’t playing, a starting pitcher who had thrown a hundred pitches come back and pitch again the same weekend. He isn’t whining, he pointing out a problem. JFC, I am well aware that Auburn has had coaches say some dumb shite through the years, but this ain’t it. Damn.

Regional format is part of what makes college baseball great, and has provided some of the best moments.
Having said that, move the CWS final back for sure. It's ridiculous that Paul Skenes never pitched in a CWS final. I suspect this issue will get fixed as college baseball grows in popularity.

But that bracket can also screw you for the championship series if coming out of losers’ bracket like with LSU not being able to throw Skenes in the championship series.
