That score definitely doesn't tell the story. Helluva game by the Pebbles. they should be proud of the show they put on at the Box.
Great game and super fun run for them. Sucks they couldn't pull off another upset at the end but still a storied path for them. They have never really been on my radar before ngl but that probably changed last couple of days.

Please tell me about nonsense where a D1 pitcher can't throw strikes.
If watched any baseball this weekend or this year or literally any time you would know that it happens. It'll ok.


It happens when you're not good
No, it happens to the best of them.

riveting analysis. Is there a subscription available for this A++ content like "good pitchers always throw strikes"

Unless you're punching guys out with high 90s, you better be able to locate. Ask Greg Maddox. If you don't have velocity, you have to pinpoint the location. If you're 6'8 and can't put 90 on the gun and can't find the zone, you're garbage.

Interesting because I also watch a ton of MLB games and you're not going to believe it, there are occasionally pitchers even in that most prestigious league of 30 teams and 13 pitchers, some of those top 400 pitchers in the entire world still that on occasion throw a ball and even --- gasp, heaven forbid --- issue a base on balls.

Lol. Good pitchers HAVE to throw strikes. You can't be a good pitcher throwing nothing in the zone. But please tell me more how the best pitchers ever couldn't find the strike zone...

Key words "on occasion." There's a reason they keep a K/BB ratio.

That's right, even they have off days. And, the more you post, the more you prove my point. You're comparing collegiate pitchers to one of the all time greats, only a fool would do that. Your little league pitching knowledge is actually comical, please keep posting.

And fyi, these aren't elite pitchers, at least not yet.

He's never going to be elite. My entire point in this thread was we need to get rid of autobids, but no, you bleeding hearts couldn't handle it.

Are we talking pitching or autobids? Fyi, I couldn't care less for autobids, I thought we were talking pitching, which you obviously know nothing about. How's that for a bleeding heart?

I want LSU to lose just for what they did in the SEC tournament. Pitched two starters against us just out of spite.

In last night's postgame their coach explained the reason he did that was to set Eyanson up to come in and close the regional final if they needed it, and it worked out.

Three autobids made it to Regional Finals, one advanced to the Supers this go around.

Four seed autobids have made it to Omaha.

Four seed autobids have won it all in Omaha.

The fact that LR did not have any trusted arms left in their fifth game of the weekend is a poor argument against autobids. They pushed one of the most storied programs in college ball to an "if necessary" game of a regional final but they don't belong? Really? Just because they were forced to use the dregs of their pen in their fifth game of the weekend?

It's Tuesday. There is no Squeeze Play. How am I to survive the day? How will I lay awkwardly on the couch shoveling low nutrient food and pouring low quality beer into my face for such long periods of time that my old, decrepit body will wake up feeling like I did 10 hours of hard manual labor? I ask you HOW!??

If this is life is it even worth living?

It's going to be a long 4 days until Supers, which are "great." There's just something about the pure quantity of chaos and absolute madness of Regionals. Best weekend of the year indeed.

I actually like the supers more. Just 2 teams throwing everything they have at each other for a trip to Omaha on the line.

Best baseball weekend of the year IMO. My favorite Aggie baseball memories are usually from awesome super regional games
RED AG 98
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Usually much better baseball, and easier to focus. I still love it no doubt.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I love watching super regionals and paying close attention. I love regional weekend for the chaos.
RED AG 98
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, this. SqueezePlay for me was built for the madness of Regionals. I often watch it on the main screen and have other games going in the background.

Super weekend I am almost always going to pick games to watch with much more attention, somewhat the opposite of Regionals with a game on the main screen and SqueezePlay on the secondary just to keep apprised of what is happening elsewhere.

Since you mentioned Greg Maddox, Framber Valdez with the Astros had a Greg Maddox type game last Friday.

Pitchers - HOU
F. Valdez (5-4)

IP H R ER BB K HR ERA
9.0 3 1 1 1 9 1 3.12

If he hadn't given up a homerun to the first batter of the game it would have been just as good as one of Maddox's gems. Oh yeah, he threw 83 pitches for the complete game - 59 strikes and 24 balls.

And that was without the benefit of the Greg Maddux 25" horizontal strike zone.

Chaos in regionals are the fun part but there's just something about a best of 3 series in front of a top notch college crowd and the excitement of Omaha.

It's my favorite weekend of the sports year when the Aggies are involved.

LSU's bullpen is just not very deep if Eyanson is warming up right now.

Do you have an example of what a deep college bullpen should look like after 4 games in 4 days?


Tenn used Doyle to close their game and ole miss also went to their ace last night. If guys are due for a bullpen session anyway you might as well let them throw an inning or two if your season is on the line. Good coaching there and good management of the staff. Must be nice to have an elite coach. It's amazing how well coached teams seem to "get all the breaks" isn't it

Very common to bring in an ace to close out a championship game.

It's a calculated gamble to win at all cost. Pitching injuries are never about one pitch, they're a cumulative effect over time. There's a big difference in stress level between a touch and feel bullpen and the adrenaline pumping, high leverage game situation. They make it through the game and there's a collective sigh of relief and euphoria, but the effects of the stress may not be known or show for days, weeks or even months. The positive thing about today's teams, it's most have a very diligent recovery protocol. I'm not saying they'll be injured down the road because of this, but it definitely adds high stress to an arm that hasn't had time to recover and comparing it to a bullpen is naive at best.

Tennessee probably cost themselves a legit shot at Arkansas, who would have been favored even if Doyle was at full strength. Now the lack of a deep pitching rotation is going to bite them in the butt. However, I understand and agree with coach Vitello's thought process of everything is irrelevant if you don't win your regional.

From his many interviews, it is obvious this is not one of his favorite teams. Watch the post game Saturday interview where he says UT's starting pitcher's best days are ahead of them and they will not be while he is at Tennessee and the dude was sitting 2 feet away from him when he said it. He continually harps how this team needs to learn to play as a team and not individuals. The huge difference between this year and last is that he LOVED last year's team and made it clear throughout the year that it was one of, if not, his favorite team ever. He said they were easily coachable, complete team players, and they never believed they were out of a game...EVER...even down 3 to FSU bottom of the 9th.

Since it's a Saturday-Monday super, Tennessee could hold Doyle until Sunday which would give him 5 days of rest. He should be pretty close to full strength by then I would think.

Sooooo…. With all these first timers in the supers….. what is the ( too early) over/under on the Jell-O shots challenge in Omaha?


You know you can pick a team to support and donate to their Jell-O shot challenge from afar!

We did our damage last year to that challenge, and Tennessee barreled right on past our numbers. Granted they had a little help from a certain country musician.
I'll set the initial O/U at 38,000.
