2024 college baseball/softball thread

Or as it's known as in Corvallis, "The foul ball that changed it all."

Fans still yell "Arkansas" when two or three opponents converge on a foul ball.

Classic Arkansas TV clip:

 

If we're talking about Arkansas baseball, I feel obligated to share this gem.

 

Video of a Georgia pitcher doctoring his glove in the bullpen has been making the rounds. Jomboy comes in with the breakdown.

 

His stats seem to have improved over the past few games:




Pretty obvious that the only just and reasonable punishment is . . . strip them of 50 football scholarships.

 

No, but Georgia Southwill be banned from the tournament!

 

Is cheating widespread in college baseball? Seems like it would be easier to get away with than in MLB.

 

I guess when you do a lot of your own field maintenance, clearing a downed tree from the road by hand is no big deal.

 

Tulane gets a triple, intentional walk and two HBP in B9 to beat #6 ECU, 6-5.

 

Final "real" Pac-12 event at Microville Tech today, Beavers crush UCLA 15-1 in baseball. Series drew 12k for the weekend.

UCLA is in last place in the Pac-12 (6-21), is under .333 overall (16-33) and gave up 11, 12 and 15 runs while getting swept. That's unbelievable from UCLA, a traditional national power in this century. Apparently, they are young, have had some injuries, and transfers/recruiting defections from players who want nothing whatsoever to do with Big Ten baseball.

 

Thanks for this. I have been oblivious to college baseball this season, but I did take a quick look at the standings a few days ago. I was shocked to see UCLA in last place. I wondered why, thinking NIL issues or the general disarray in the athletic department. I didn't know.

 

Equally odd is Miami at 23-27 overall and 10-17 in the ACC.
