Rock, God bless him, takes more time between pitches than anyone.

The crazy thing is the top of the 7th started at about 2.5 hours in. Walker made a comment about it starting at 9:37 and it was still going around 10:30. The last three innings took about as long as the first 6.

I don't think the game is broken, or even close to it, not I also don't have a problem with keeping the batter in the box. I think unless you swing you don't get a reset. Take a pitch? then keep your ass in the box. Foul one off or swing and miss? Ok you can step out and reset.

I could handle this.

There is even a thread about the extremely long 7th inning: https://texags.com/forums/8/topics/3293726

Get real. If you didn't enjoy tonight's game, you need a new hobby. It was close to the greatest five hours I have ever spent in my life, with my boys (class of '23 and '25) on each side of me at Olsen. Hell, an 80+ year old man the row below me made it start to finish and loved every minute.

All the stars right here

Our 8 longest games this year have all been 9 innings:

Both teams employed a strategy to take pitches and spoil until they got something they could drive. The guy behind me wanted for us to swing at every first pitch.

TCU also used 4 pitchers in an inning although we also changed mid at bat at least once.

We need to be treated like east coast for start times because I am dragging today.

A five hour nine inning game is an anomaly. I don't see how the lengthy rituals by batters between pitches adds anything to the game for the most avid (or least avid) fan.

So we just broke both of those records?

No, because we aren't in MLB or the CWS.

But we've exceeded the MLB record twice this year, and the CWS record 4 times.

Yes; however, I am not sure how long was the all-time longest 9-inning College baseball game??

Ah right. I read CWS as "postseason" in my head.

Most fun I've had at Olsen Field EVER. Got to my seat at 20 till 7 and did not leave till it was over. (Had someone bringing me refreshments, which helped.) Amazing ballgame!

BTHO Louisville/Michigan!

I have no idea why it was a 7 pm start time for a game that was streaming only.

Why not do it like Saturday with noon and 6 pm?
