re: Somehow I think karma bites Arky after the umps won them the game - NebraskaExPat
According to some on the rant, LSU has not lost a game this season. Any game in the loss column was due to the umpires....

re: That was a bad throw by the catcher and a ticky-tack call - NebraskaExPat
From the baseball rules academy for high school coaches: [quote]As with any play in sports wherein the only people aware of a problem are the official watching for it and the players immediately affected, the crowd and announcers were stunned that someone had been called out. The ruling was uph...

re: Who thinks we make Omaha? - NebraskaExPat
I have family connections to Nebraska. The Nebraska fans are pulling for LSU to get there. Outside of Louisiana fans at the Omaha games, you probably don't find any better LSU fans than Nebraskans. They love having LSU show up. I'm not sure why, but I think because LSU has been there so ofte...

[quote]I assume that is the same one I saw there in 2017. Worth a look. [/quote] I'm not sure which one you saw. I think there are several. This locomotive was rebuilt and ran for the first time in 2019. It will be parked right next to the baseball stadium for the days of the World Series...

For LSU baseball fans who also like railroads - NebraskaExPat
This is probably not in most of the rant members' interest, but when LSU goes to Omaha, if you can make it to the games, this would be neat to see. The Union Pacific will have its Big Boy locomotive on display near the baseball field. It's one of the largest locomotives ever built. [link=(htt...

re: SEC losses broken down - NebraskaExPat
[quote]I do think the tightened strike zone is screwing with many teams. Apparently they’re calling pitches that end up in the strike zone a strike 94% of the time. That number is way way too low.[/quote] Is it easy to find statistics for walks in the SEC this year compared to other years?...

re: I haven’t been this pissed off about an umpire in a long time - NebraskaExPat
We lost the game because we left runners on base too many times. It happens at all levels of baseball. It doesn't mean the umps are bad, the opposing coaches are lowlifes, or anything else. We didn't lose because of an umpire....

re: Bohannon on phone with person that placed bet per ESPN updated link on page 7 - NebraskaExPat
First reaction is to wonder why he did it. We hear a lot about someone being addicted to gambling. I didn't used to believe that. I thought everyone could just say, "I'm not betting again." Then I met a guy in college who was truly addicted. Very nice guy, very smart, good grades, well-like...

Alabama Betting -- New Jersey joins Ohio - NebraskaExPat
Another state, New Jersey, joined Ohio in suspending all betting on Alabama baseball games. Everyone is tight-lipped about what caused the suspensions. I lived in New Orleans and attended Tulane men's basketball games during the point-shaving scandals that shut down that program. I'll bet l...

re: Skip Bertman’s Designed Play! - NebraskaExPat
On that designed play, where was the first base coach? We tend to blame the baserunner, but when you're diving back to first base, you can't see the ball. The first base coach should be yelling directions at the runner. That's the point of having a first base coach -- to tell you to stay or go....

re: College football no longer stopping clock on first downs. - NebraskaExPat
OK, I know I'm not the brightest. What am I missing? Before, the game stopped after every first down. Time to sneak in more commercials. Now, the new rule says the clock will not stop after first downs (except in the last two minutes of the quarters). No time to get in more commercials. ...

re: Nate Oats situation relative to Will Wade's - NebraskaExPat
