Shades on, ladies and gents
So our pitching is great but our team can't hit...millertime40 said:
Exactly, it's just the truth. Pitching has been great, I am not saying this team is garbage. Just saying we no longer can hit, I have almost no confidence in the lineup anymore.
Yes. We've used it in some of our Tuesday games this year already.merkman03 said:
What is the two bags on first base for? Safety? I've been waiting for the commentators to mention it. I've never seen that before.
Well, Michigan is in the Big 10, but still smart kids.12thMan9 said:

Quote:
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (May 20, 2024)-----The Southeastern Conference will implement the use of a double first base on an experimental basis throughout the SEC Baseball Tournament.
The purpose of the double first base is to reduce collisions between the defense and the batter-runner at first base. It has been utilized in a number of SEC non-conference contests this season.
Guidelines for using the double first base, as prescribed under NCAA playing rules, includes:
- A batted ball hitting or bounding over the white portion of the bag is a fair ball. A batted ball hitting or bounding over the colored (orange or green) bag without first touching or bounding over the white section is foul.
- When an initial play is being made on the batter-runner at first base, the defense must use the white section of the double base and the batter-runner must use the colored base except in the case of a dropped third strike. After a dropped third strike, if the fielder is drawn to the side of the colored base, the runner would go the white base and the fielder to the colored base. On a dropped third strike, the fielder and batter-runner may touch either the white or colored base.
- If there is a play on the batter-runner and the batter-runner touches only the white portion of the double base and the defense appeals prior to the batter-runner returning to first base, it is treated the same as missing the base. Penalty: Batter-runner is out.
- On extra-base hits or other balls hit to the outfield when there is no chance for a play to be made at the double base, the batter-runner may touch either the white or colored section of the base. Should, however, the batter-runner reach and go beyond first base, they may only return to the white section of the base.
- Once the batter-runner reaches first base, they shall then use only the white base.
I just imagine a scorebug being like a jitterbug phone, but for super old people.trouble said:

Tell me you don't regularly watch Aggie Baseball without telling me you don't regularly watch Aggie Baseball.
You say they are #1 like "damn this is a great team"histag10 said:TheBonifaceOption said:histag10 said:jah003 said:
So this is the game thread right? It's 3-1 in a game that is essentially meaningless.
If you've watched any of our games this team is far superior at home. This team will get a top 8 seed. Maybe calm down just a touch.
Tenn is also ranked #1
In the losers bracket.
They are ranked #1 in the nation right now.
We are also in the loser's bracket. I mean, such is baseball...
