The post season miracle improvement by Sooner baseball is unexplainable.
Team batting average rose from 280 during the season to 340 in the post season, it is unprecendented.
The coach uses preacher talk to explain this miraculous improvement.
Nobody in the press is questioning it and in fact Paul Finebaum is praising it.

Bats in CBB are tested and receive a sticker which seems vulnerable to counterfeit labels.
PED's are randomly tested the same thing Lance Armstrong faced.
It seems easy to cheat in a game regulated in such arbitrary ways.

This statistical rise has never happened in the history of MLB.
No team in college baseball has ever achieved this.

They say the difference between a conspiracy and truth is about six months.

Wait and see

Are you suggesting that the OU batters all got on PEDs only after the regular season ended?

It's just a story about a team that got hot at the right time. Ole Miss was an even more unlikely team that won it all in 2022 (they were literally the last team selected in the field that year)

Fresno State also is an example. It happens in baseball sometimes. MLB has some examples too I'm sure

Just because it hasn't happened before it doesn't mean it's rigged. Every kind of result happened for the first time at some point. I think they just got hot at the right time.
If you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me.

It wasn't just their hitting that improved. In the regular season their pitching (in conf games only) was 15th in team era, considerably worse than the Aggies. Then in 8 games during their SR and the CWS they gave up a total of only 21 runs. That's amazing. I think you just have to give their coaches and players a ton of credit.

This is what makes us love baseball. And tear our hair out at the same time.

They finally got their chakras aligned, started breathing out of their eye lids, and put the rose in front...

Somewhere, there is a trash can waiting to be hit in the dugout.

Credit to coaches and players???

Isn't it more fun to accuse them of cheating instead?

They explained it ad nauseam on the broadcasts.

Two-a-days and eating nothing but fried chicken. That's it. That's the trick.

I don't think taking PEDs helps you pick up the spin on a slider or a sweeper.

Bucket of balls - Thank you for your concern about what happened to me.

I have enrolled in a new masters class called the Polly Anna Principal.
I am learning to believe in the stories of announcers and coaches.
The class on the miracles of sports has been my favorite.

We sit inside this really cool gymnasium with a painting of Doug Fluty's Hail Mary on the ceiling and a fresco mural portrays a pair of Curt Shillings socks that mystically spots up with blood then disappears.

We close each day with Do you believe in miracles and we all yell yes.
