2024 college baseball/softball thread

It’s amazing how much fun College Station looks like when the fans and students don’t have to fetishize a para-military cult and can just cut loose.

 

While it's awesome the Gators are going to Omaha, I really would like to see Florida State finally seal the deal after all these years, especially for Mike Martin.

 

Both Oregons are some of the most poorly coached teams I have ever seen.
Oregon coach sat on his hands, watching his pitcher piss away an 8-3 lead with 6 walks and a hit batter. A&M added a grand slam when a relief pitcher finally was summoned in a 9-run inning.
OSU and Kentucky are still playing, but Kentucky took a 3-2 lead in the seventh when a runner scored from second on a strike 3-wild pitch. The pitcher didn't cover home. Oregon State has 2 runs, but no hits.

 

I was just about to go to bed when the announcer reminded me I may very well be watching the last few minutes of the PAC-12 Conference. I’d expected to have typed out “Man walks on Mars” before that sentence.

Fuck the shit show that college sports has become.

 

Crushing someone from the Missouri Valley Conference, just like in late November.

 

All the stuff we review and we can’t review obstruction on the basepaths?

 

Doesn't matter when the next guy strikes out on three pitches, including the last one looking.

 

Watching strike three sail into the catcher's mitt without making even a twitch was an apt way for the PAC-12 to officially end.

 

All SEC-ACC CWS. I'll pass. But the bar that sells jello shots better double their supplies.

 

Not without the Cajuns.

 

I think I'd put my money on Kentucky - never been to Omaha before, they know how to drink, been "in training" since the Derby. And probably stick around long enough to set the jello shot record. I have no idea, nor care, how they do in the CWS.
