Elevation too. Gotta be within the right elevation window or you get no field.

No thanks. One of the beautiful things of the game is the varying dimensions of the playing fields. It doesn’t need to be like every other sport.

I don’t think you know what hyperbole is. In the clip, he referenced one of his own players being extended over two separate outings he brought it up. He talks about the format, forcing players to pitch in uncomfortable situations. That is not reality. The reality is that he and these other coaches would rather win and risk in injury to an arm than lose and have their season end because they took a chance on an arm that they don’t feel is as capable.

didn't need to have a pitcher throw 100+ and then do it again in the same regional, but some other teams did.

Nobody NEEDED to. That’s the point. They chose to.

I saw that earlier and was very disappointed.

I posted in another thread as well, but basically he’s complaining because he didn’t have the guts to utilize his full roster. There is zero question that he had guys dressed and available that he never went to all weekend or even guys that threw very little that he just didn’t trust to put out there.

I’ll be pissed if this sentiment gains traction and ends up ruining regional weekend in a few years. He and any other coaches complaining need to zip it and either win the thing in three games or have the guts to put another guy you recruited out on the mound.

It is not about player safety when the coach has the ability and option to put a fresh guy on the mound and chooses not to. If player safety is that much of concerns, then he needs to look himself in the mirror and ask why he prioritized winning over his guys health.

Rally disappointed after a great weekend of baseball to wake up to a clip of Butch Thompson complaining about the regional format. Saying it’s not good for the players and how it’s too taxing on pitchers. Just total ridiculous shite from him.

Either win three games in a row or use more pitchers. Dude had guys dressed and rostered this weekend that he never went to and he is going to whine about “having” to bring back guys on short rest to pitch twice.

Mind you I generally have a lot of respect for him and think he’s one of the best, but regional weekend is probably the best overall weekend of college baseball all year. Don’t frick with it.

Exciting game. Pissed me off right after to have to listen to Mike Rooney lamenting that GT losing was bad for the sport.

I truly never say this, but the non-stop suck fest by these commentators towards Texas Tech is brutal. Like, just come out and tell us you want them to win.

It’s called no doubles defense and it’s standard in a late game situation particularly in a tie or 1-run game.

Roll tide. Not sure how we did it but I’m
Going to relax and root for St John’s now.
