Fort Worth is a "backwater?" Man, that's rich.
We had Greg Street in Corvallis in 2017, when we were the top national seed. We had Greg Street at the College World Series. Were those two tournaments "backwater?" That's even richer.
Umps with inconsistent strike zones are the norm in college baseball. It needs the automated strike zone far more than MLB does.
We're just gonna disagree if you're gonna describe a season where we reach a regional final, with the injuries and dearth of veteran talent this team has, as "lost."

The pitching walks and hit batters. The last 5 innings 11 or 12 guys put on base. No way is a 5 run lead safe with that happening. They can hit. We need some of that. Their Home runs without our help would have given them 4 runs. In a perfect world we could have won. The early innings 2 hits and no runs 2 times. In one other game we got three hits and no runs. That is a killer. Just not meant to be this year. Too many chinks in our Armor. Not many anything racial. Just seemed to describe what we are.

I would however, like to see how these umps are graded, or the QA process, or whatever. That guy yesterday had a strike zone that was several inches too high, missed plenty of strikes on the corner, and at the knees.....pitchers and hitters have to adjust real time....the umps should be going over their tape to see where they can improve, and maybe they are, I dunno......I actually thought Street behind the plate called a good game, which was surprising to say the least. |

In my opinion this last game was a summary of the season - we couldn't get an out when we had to have one, we couldn't get a hit when we had to have one. Hey coaches recruit some hitters that can put the ball over the fence. This team hit 22 more home runs than the 56-6 team of 2017. |

Well, it's why we love college baseball, cause anything can happen, just sucks when it works against the Beavs. Although, just a few hours after the Beavs lost their lead:
- Nebraska had a similar outcome as OSU. Huskers leading 2-1, Arkansas homers to tie it. A couple innings later in the 8th the Nebraska bullpen walks THREE batters in a row. Then a wild pitch scores the go ahead run, then a PH drills a 3-run HR. Ouch.
- uo leads 5-2 but squanders it, then with a 7-6 lead going into the 8th inning the bullpen can't hold on. Not complaining about the outcome, but another team that will be kicking themselves for letting one get away. Bullpen depth was not uo's strength, and those weaknesses always seem to come back to bite you in big games.

They brought in their all-PAC12 closer pretty early (beginning of 7th). He was untouchable at first. Then the 8th: a walk and a double and THEN there was that silly lob-toss to 1st base 'game' (when the runner had at most a 24"-36" lead)....which culminated in a balk, as the 1st baseman 'crashed' in anticipation of a squeeze. That play qualifies as satisfying the old saying "Every time you watch a baseball game, you have a chance to see something you've never seen before." |

paying waaaay too much attention to a guy that was no threat to run - probably trying to coax the guy on third to make a mistake ! Obvious to the 3rd base runner that he should not get sucked in !

In faster paced sports you don't have much time to dwell on things.....in baseball, the mental aspect has plenty of time to simmer in your brain......at the end of the day, these are kids who are at varying levels of maturity, and mental toughness.....sometimes they crumble, and sometimes they come through....it's a great game to teach this young men to be successful in life, for sure. |

I'm gonna hold onto the fact that we were VERY competitive in the regional, and were a few pitches from moving on to a super......as bumpy of a regular season as it was, we belonged

I like the idea of grading umpires. That process should definitely include head coaches. Also, the coaches should be involved is selecting umpires for the tournament. |
