re: Pick These Opening Round Matchups in CWS

LF 350 :dunno:
5 of our top 7 homerun hitters are right handed. If you know anything at all about baseball, you know a right handed hitter gets most of his power when he pulls the ball, not when he goes opposite field. I mean, why say the ballpark is much smaller when in fact is one area of the ballpark and the other areas are either much larger or practically the same? Or are players only allowed to hit the ball to one area?
If you have pitched at all you would also know if the rightfield fence is short, then you keep the ball on the inside of the plate to a right handed hitter and he can't hit the opposite way with any power at all. :lol:

Amazing how much is being spent on sports facilities these days. Not a shot at Florida....we are all doing it. It should be amazing after it is completed! Congratulations! :cheers:

Schwab Field is much larger than Foley Field where Georgia plays,

Schwab:

CF:408
Power:375/375
What is your definition of "much larger"?
Much larger in Right Field? yes. But of our top 7 Homerun hitters, 5 of them are righthanded, making left field the easier field to hit out of.
Also, Georgia is 4th in the nation in batting average with a.326 BA while Texas is #46 with a .298 BA. Typically larger ballparks favor a team with higher BA.
All that said, Texas has a better pitching staff ranked #13 in ERA at 4.08 ERA, while Georgia is #58 at 4.92ERA.
I'm not arguing Georgia will beat Texas..that's anybody's guess. What I am saying is our offense does not dry up and blow away from a lack of homeruns.

Impressive, no doubt. Texas has a great overall athletic program, no doubt.

Charles Schwab, for one. The park is big, and the wind blows in. UGA will be neutralized in Omaha - swinging for the trees will end up in fly outs, and relief pitching will fold.
You very well could be right, and if swinging for the fences is all we do, then I would agree. Did you check out the team Batting Average?
Georgia is 4th in D1 baseball in team batting average at .327 which would indicate we are more than a power team. Usually small parks reward power and large parks reward batting average and speed.
We may fold up and not do well at Omaha, but if we don't, I think (THINK) it will be more about facing better pitching than anything and/or our pitching faltering.

I was at a minor league field in Asheville yesterday and it’s 297 down the right field line and 373 to dead center. It was awesome. Final shore was 16-14.
CRAP! That's amazing! How would you like to be a pitcher trying to move up in an organization and pitching in a park like that? :lol:
Reminds me of John Smoltz when the Braves picked him up in a trade with detroit. His ERA in 1987 at AA was 6.19. I thought he was going to be terrible! Shows you what I know! :lol: :cheers:

Georgia fans are taking “you play in a little league park” harder than Tennessee fans ever did. It’s surprising.
Well, maybe because any time Georgia wins anything in any sport, Ranters try to put qualifiers on it. That, and because it is demonstrably false, yet other fan bases keep insisting it to be true.
For me it is always surprising when something is shown to be false but people insist it is true anyway...it shows more about the ignorance of the person making such claims than anything, though.
"the earth is flat!"
"We never went to the moon!"
"Foley Field is a bandbox" (Or little league field)
Etc.

We both have questionable pitching (theirs more about the BP and ours kind of both SP and BP at times)
It seemed our starters and bullpen would go hot and cold. But, they were never cold at the same time, so when we got into trouble another member would be brought in to put the fire out. We were either very fortunate, or maybe Wes understood this and used it to our advantage? I honestly don't know.
quote:
No need for the sarcasm. You guys were just a little bit better than us this year. Much props to Georgia. You have the intangibles to win it all.
MState had a great team. Every time we played the game went down to the wire. It's a shame we landed in the same Super. :cheers:

Ole Miss certainly seems to be getting hot at the right time. :cheers:
Georgia seems to be on a hot streak, too. Hopefully we didn't use all of our magic ju-ju juice up against MState. MState has an excellent team. it's a shame they got stuck in the same Super with us. They could have won most, if not all of the others.

I am not saying The Joe is right or UGA's field is wrong.
Then why did you say this: UGA is 315 down the right field pole. You like that?
quote:
In all sports there are common dimensions
No, not in all sports. Golf is not for one. Cricket for another.
But yes, as a generalization, most sports do standardize playing field dimensions. But again, it has been shown that Alabama's field is significantly smaller than Foley, so why not decry your own field, and demand that your school enlarge your baseball field?
quote:
Since it is their home field it would hold advantages as they know how to play things where as a rookie wouldnt.
So everybody on this board apparently knows the dimensions of the stadium but visiting teams do not? :lol:
quote:
Aware someone the HR trophy and it goes to UGA with the left hander winning it.
Except we hit more HRs on the road than we did at home.
5 of our top 7 homerun hitters were righthanded including Daniel Jackson, our top homerun hitter.
Our last big homerun hitter, Charlie Condon was also right handed.

UGA is 315 down the right field pole. You like that?
You understand that Sewell-Thomas is 320 feet down the foul lines, right? A whopping 5 extra feet down the Right field line, and Foley is 350 down the Left Field line, so our left field line is 30 feet further than your park.
Sewell is 360 at the power alleys and Foley is 370 LC Power and 365 RC Power alley.
Sewell is 390 to center and Foley is 404.
When will Alabama expand their park? You play in a bandbox. :lol:
Now, you can go crawl back in your hole for saying dumb stuff, as your park is demonstrably smaller than Foley Field.

College baseball. We have uniform standards for the basketball court and for the football field. Give each NCAA team 2 years to complete.
:lol: Not even MLB has uniform standards for fields.
I mean, I get it. I often thought it strange major league baseball had all sizes in their fields, but, if MLB does not, why would college?

When games are closer UGA could have the mentality to try and go yard to give themselves momentum and a lead.
Wait. Are you saying other teams are no aware of the ballpark dimensions? That said, we have showed over and over and over again that our left field fence is a full 20 feet further than Alex Box, and out rightfield fence is 16 feet shorter. We have 7 players with 10 or more homeruns and 5 of those are right handed hitters.
LSU fans are fixated on our rightfield fence while your own leftfield fence is a full 20 feet shorter than our leftfield fence.

Bama coach betting against his own team really gave us a competitive advantage.
:lol: Is it against the rules, or not? And just for the record, he was passing on inside information to other bettors. He was doing it for personal gain....not a good look.

The coach was fired.
Yeah...so? He was cheating, was he not? Isn't that what you are claiming about a Georgia pitcher from two years ago that is no longer on the team?
quote:
Tennessee said the same thing when they got to omaha and their hitting and HR's stopped or slowed down
Again...nobody is saying we will win it all. That said...home runs could also slow down because you are facing much better pitching at Omaha.
:lol: I have absolutely no doubt though, if we do not win it all, you all will be back here claiming it was because of a small ballpark.
Now. Who's team are you a fan of and we can compare the dimensions of the two ballparks.
quote:
I think the rest of the park is fine so it favors lefty hitters
Well, the left filed fence sits at 350, so...yeah.
That said of our hitters with double digit home runs, (seven of them) 5 of them bat right handed.
quote:
everyone says the same thing until they get to omaha and they hide away never to be heard from again.
That's why the score was 12-13 just now.
Nobody is saying we will win it all. But the reason the score was 13-12 as because of our pitching is not too great and our hitting is very good.
That said...and i can't vouch for it's truthfulness...but you saw the poster that said Georgia hit more homeruns on the road than at home, right?
