I know you didn't watch and are just shitposting, but it had nothing to do with this. We didn't even make contact with the ball, and got lucky to get the runs we did get. Our best players just disappeared at the plate. Had nothing to do with the size of the field.
You're not reading between the lines. It's not as black and white as that.
Field larger = not as many homeruns
It's more nuanced than that. Pitchers and actually PITCH to the UGA players now and not be scared they are going to check swing a fricking HR like they do at Foley. UGA also has to change their plate approach which also led to the lack of run production.

Georgia has 3 players in the top 20 of SEC players in pop-up rate, Oklahoma has zero. (highest percentage)
Georgia has 1 player in the bottom 20 of SEC players in pop-up rate, Oklahoma has 4. (lowest percentage)
Georgia has 3 players in the top 20 of SEC players in fly-ball rate, Oklahoma has zero. (highest percentage)

TLDR: Georgia hits a lot of fly balls; fly balls are easy outs.

Not saying this is wrong, but how much of UGAs run production comes off doubles and what's their OBP? That matters too in Omaha. I think the stadium thing, while elements of truth, is a cop out of haters and they just got cold mostly. I am shocked OU got them as personally I thought UGA was the best team. They've been really good recently, including 2 Golden Spikes awards in two years both from the Atlanta area. Give them some respect.

I give the GA Baseball Dawgs respect because I thought they would win this WS. I'm surprised they didn't and I appreciate all of the good analysis regarding why they failed.

I think they just ran into a different level of pitching that they didn't see during the regular season and Regionals and Super Regionals. We played them 6 times and you can always count on our bullpen blowing it.
You had problems because you weren’t playing in a middle school stadium that’s smaller than a normal stadium.

That’s a lot of words to say, when you get to Omaha you’re likely facing much tougher pitching and you can’t count on a tons of HRs.
So, typically the best all around team wins….
You’re not wrong, but that’s kind of the whole idea…. To crown the best team…

Yeah that was it. It absolutley wasnt the fact we couldn’t even put a barrel on the ball with a 35% strike out percentage in our plate appearances. After a season where the top of the lineup batted damn near .400 all year.
Yep middle school field. Not ice cold hitting.

Again. Where are you getting your stats to say they struck out 35% of plate appearances?

UGA bats went cold. OU is hot and was the better team.
Baseball is streaky.
Had nothing to do with the size of the stadium.

Ok. But you keep saying yall were striking out a lot and that’s not the case. Kind of odd to throw stats out there to back up a claim and have completely incorrect stats. Kind of makes believe maybe it partly has to do with the stadium.
Posted on 6/18/26 at 10:40 pm to vidtiger23
Sorry, but you obviously didn't watch all of the game(s).

Cliff Gustafson and Augie Garrido took their teams to the CWS a combined 32 times, winning 7 titles. They both prioritized pitching, defense, and team speed. They must have known that pitching would be above average at CWS and squeezing out runs, while preventing opponents runs was most important. Yes, a few teams can muscle their way to a title, but they're the exception not the rule.

Georgia faced top shelf pitching, that'll tend to cool of bats.

Watched many UGA games and the ones in the College World Series. Put UGA on an equal field like at thenCWS and they fold because they don’t get an advantage to only hit a baseball 316ft in right field and have a homer.
Your tiny stadium gives you a false sense of being a power hitting team.

my favorite LSU fan trope is when they act like they know the game of baseball better than others because they watched their teams win titles
