Completely agree, and I filled out the recent Olsen survey accordingly. I couldn't care less about "fan amenities" in the ballpark. I want elite facilities for the players and a whole lot of rowdy fans that are actively participating in the game. The last think I want is a dead vibe because folks have too much other stuff distracting them from bringing the HAT!Sean98 said:I think atmosphere is so critical is baseball. We need more fan interaction CLOSER to the field.RED AG 98 said:
I'd really like to take in some games at Greenville. Seems like a pretty fun scene.
Not saying we need drink people hanging over the outfitted fence like ECU (or like Sean98 in AggieAlley in 1999), but we do not need posh seats, far from the action.

I was in the suite last night to watch Wacha pitch vs the Padres. Bottomless nachos and hot dogs.
I bought those Lexus "Complete Seats" for a game in late April. It was 55F at first pitch, and that was the exact temperature of the hot dogs and nachos that were sitting out when we got there. I like to eat before the game, so I was not pleased.
On the other hand, they've gone from Pepsi to Coke. I wish TAMU would do the same.
KState finished it 19-4
This was my first time in a suite there. Like most suites it's too far from the field to be a good viewing experience. But it rained much of the night so being dry was good.dabo man said:Quote:

The suite had more of a build your own buffet so things were hot. The only soda I drink is Dr Pepper, so I opted for Boulevard Southwest.
I got invited as part of a client appreciation night, so likely the first and last time I sit up there.
Wacha status? Saw where you said he got (literally) hit early.
ECU ties Wake 1-1 in the bottom of the 5th
Burns' pitch count above 70 and he's starting to fade a little. ECU double ties the game at 1-1.
Still hitting 98-99 though at 82 pitches
I'm sure he's sore today. Took a hard one hopper off the ankle. But he went 5 shutty before a walk and a few hard hit balls in the 6th. Ended up giving up 2 runs in 5.1 and took a no decision.RED AG 98 said:

Has added a sinker and a slider to his repertoire since I last saw him. Padres (his 2023 team) simply wouldn't bite on the changeup last night and that really hurt him it seemed.
Yeah, but losing location it seems.Ag for Life said:

Like that. 3 run donkey for ECU. I had Wake in Omaha. Guess if they're there it's just to see the Zoo.
That one is now located in the RF bleachers
Wow, what a catch by the Wake LF!!
Kid that hit it was the guy that stole home in the AAC tourney.Ag for Life said:

The amount of beer coming over that fence and onto the field
Army continues to be pesky. HR to cut GaTech lead to 3-2 in the 7th
Artillery shot off the scoreboard. Go Army!
Vandy in some trouble in the 6th. Up 5-0 Cunningham has given up 2, and has 2 on. Going to the pen.
When I was a little kid, and we were playing baseball, there was a simple rule for plays at first "Tie goes to the runner."
Now we're waiting while the NCAA tries to deduce what's happening between frames of a replay. I like how things were 45 years ago.

Ha! Vandy reliever immediately gives up a 3 run bomb to dead center. 5-5.
Wake is about to go from Preseason #1 to the first team to get Gonged
That was never a real rule ya know.dabo man said:

That's a little over the top. It hasn't really changed, we just can see it better.dabo man said:

The point is supposed to be getting it right. It's why fans everywhere celebrated Angel Hernandez "retirement".

Makes you wonder what's going on behind the scenes. They have 2 guys projected in the top 20 of the draft.
Wonder if Chase Burns is regretting leaving UT
It was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and replay works lots better in MLB than in college. There are cameras *everywhere* in a big league ballpark. In college, way too many replays feature long delays because of poor camera angles.Quote:

That particular replay, it was close enough at first that the replay was inconclusive. IMO, it's more exciting to put the runner on first when you can't tell rather than letting the out call stand (the little kid rule to which I referred). Just my two cents.
3 in the top 10 in some predictions!AgLA06 said:And I'm loving every minute of it.PhatMack19 said:

High Point takes the lead over Vandy
High Point smacking Vandy around.
I love all the grave dancing on Vandy. The whistler has made them the most hated team.

High Point now up 9-5 and still only one out. Bases loaded.

It's one thing to be good. It's another to be obnoxious and be known for something that ruins the experience for all fans.Aggies2009 said:

Vandy pitchers have hit 8 batters in 1 1/2 games at this regional.dermdoc said:Aggies2009 said:
