Bat Sports: The 2025 college baseball/softball thread

Maybe I am a stick in the mud, but I completely don't give a **** about the bar, jello shots or anything else about that scene. Drunk people are bores.

I still say most Gel Shots (not Jello!) at Rocco’s are not consumed.

What is that stupid on-deck mat doing out there where a fielder can slip on it and pull or tear God knows what, like the Coastal catcher almost did just now?

In best Johnny Carson voice.... "How hot is it?"

That's an interesting way to phrase it: " .. until things get out of hand." Almost presumes mayhem. Or doesn't do a great job of discouraging it.

Cue the Allstate Mayhem guy:
"I'm an LSU fan who's been drinking since 9 a.m. -- Thursday -- and pounding Jello shots at Rocco's ..."

One-Love Tigahs.

Its really going to suck when RFK's food dye ban kicks in.

People don't realize how hard those things are. I remember Jason Varitek once ending his season in June with a broken elbow from diving for a ball and landing on one.

Relax. Adrian Beltre will be along shortly to move it.

 

[DanOregon]

Hell, I'd want my kid to play for this guy even if he wasn't coaching my alma mater.

This is going pear shaped fast. Chants coach ejected in the bottom of the first and his first base coach right behind.

In bleachers but it looked like he wanted a pitch clock violation?

I think (not sure) he awarded a strike because the batter started to go in the box and then stepped back. But he never made it in and he was well within the clock. Booth is dubious at best about him tossing them.

Coastal’s ace isn’t ace-ing, which is the bigger problem right now.

To their credit, the TV guys were critical of the ump’s quick trigger.

Who is the ump? Greg Street? Angel Campos? Two guys who shouldn't be allowed within 1,000 miles of Omaha, but are crew chiefs.

Edit: It's Campos. Horrible umpire.

 

[dixiehack]

Both also suspended for the next two games. So Gardner-Webb or Longwood or somebody licking their chops for next February.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Welp. This one is over.

 

[dixiehack]

Maybe that homer is enough to get them into the LSU bullpen and give Coastal a chance.

 

[MileHigh]

And LSU wins it.

 

[dixiehack]

All done. LSU your national champions.

Considering the last two games were 1-0 and 5-3, this final series still feels like a dud.
