I was watching on a delay and just finished so couldn't participate in the in game discussion. Wow was that an awful home plate umpire. I cant help but wonder if that blue wanted to make sure OSU didn't win after what happened with their ace pitcher. OSU coach should have got himself tossed around the 5th inning.
I'm just glad there are homers in Omaha again. The way it should be. The 2013 CWS was so boring.

They got at least one run on a base hit to center with Robertson scoring from second right after OSU decided not to try and turn 2.
at this point I would expect LSU to beat either TCU or Florida in the finals
I hate the idea of balls and strikes being determined by electronic means on so many levels but watching games like this one is enough to make me reconsider.. The blue in the bucket today was simply brutal. He shouldn't be calling balls and strikes in a T-Ball game much less at this level.Sean98 said:

Robot strike zone as soon as we can get it, if not sooner. It'll IMPROVE the game immensely.
Same here. But I may need a shower afterward.Good Aggie Hunting said:

and the one downer of Oregon State losing in the big picture of NCAA athletics...
you can see why schools don't (or don't want) to suspend their star players (e.g. OU with Mixon). They know they need them to win.
I suppose Oregon State can be somewhat credited for taking the high road. It likely cost them dearly in the end

I dont think anyone is saying OSU took the high road.W said:

That home plate umpire must have been Leslie Nielsen from the Naked Gun movie.
OSU didn't kick him off the team. It was a "mutal decision" for him not to participate. They want him back next year.
Their every day LFer was also serving a suspension.
Save pets. Vote Trump 2024.
Can't take anything away from what LSU did to win both games, but that performance at home today was disgraceful. Batters with good eyes for balls and strikes should not be forced to adjust/swing at pitches 6-8 inches off the plate at the whim of some incompetent umpire.
A consistent (and accurate) strike zone is a fundamental necessity for the integrity of the game. It's not enough for the zone to be consistent if it's blatantly imprecise/inaccurate.

The high road? You serious?
They gave a child molester a scholarship and want him back next year. ***** osu. I'm glad they lost

It seems like that pitch early in the count was a ball, but if it was strike three, it was called a strike.
Not to mention 2 of their whopping 6 losses were the last 2 games of the season. Man oh man, that's a tough way to goBondag said:Fightin Ag491 said:

Meaning it wasn't even consistent within the same at bat. Again, I'm glad LSU won and will represent the SEC (hopefully vs Fla), but umpires referees are doing best when they go unnoticed.Quote:

LSU baseball are winners. Always have been. I'm not surprised they took out OSU.
Well my bracket 1 was perfect until today.
I'm hoping Florida wins. Their pitching is great, but TCU's offense scares me more. They hit so well with 2 outs.
We'll be the underdogs either way due to not having Walker, but after today, the players should feel like they can beat anyone.

Should be good. See how TCU handles UF ace Faedo.

I dont think the bookies will have lsu as underdogs vs tcu
LSU's success in Omaha makes our series win in Baton Rouge this year even more impressive. SEC baseball continues to be pretty stout overall.
Gators got a lil sum sum going here......
This reminds me of the 1989 Aggies who did not even get to hang a CWS appearance banner despite having a very talented team and a 58-7 overall record. It was also the LSU Tigers who defeated us to end our amazing season just like they did to OSU today. :-(Fightin Ag491 said:

Go Gatahs!
Im okay with a walk. Break the spell
One purple team is enough.
A quick check confirms the Ags are the only team to have taken a series win from them at the Box this season.Turbo said:

Nice feather in the cap, that one!
This game is stressful. Ready for frogs to do some work.
Why isn't Howard pitching? Or is he only good against the Ags?
