Oh I forgot Alabama.
Who would have thunk the Blazers are the cause for us lacking resources. Lol.

Highest annual increase in personal income by state 2023: 1. Florida
5. South Carolina
7. Texas
11. Tennessee
20. Alabama
25. Kentucky
Maybe you should consider getting your news from a more reputable source?And of those, only Florida has personal income higher than Oregon, although Texas comes close. All the retirees who are rich. |

Then they must have been coached pretty damn well all season. Until a coaching staff pitched to their weakness and no adjustments were made. No other coaching staff all season tried that? Kentucky was the first? Amazing. |

Kentucky pitched brilliantly; we pitched very well except for one inning. Kentucky played outstanding defense. We didn't hit.
I'm an old codger. Reminds me of the 1969 series, when the Mets pitched great and pulled defensive plays out of their butts time and time again to beat a clearly better team.
Unlike the Orioles, we were not clearly better. What Kentucky did was enough to win an evenly-matched series.
I don't by the "lapse in coaching" narrative. You don't get to a Super Regional with bad coaching, or by not winning a few big games along the way.
A very good, often frustrating season that fell just short of being great. That's baseball.
I will say, after watching college regionals across the board I have a new appreciation for most MLB umpires. They do a far, far, far superior job on balls and strikes. A college ump's strike zone seems to vary from game-to-game, inning-to-inning and batter-to-batter.

Pitcher not coverng home on the wild pitch really hurt us. Nobody knows what would have happened if they didn't score..but jeez, it's a basic coverage assignment.

That was a terrible look, but assuming things play out the way they did afterwards, he scores anyway. The issue was the wild pitch on strike three, not so much the failure to cover. The thing that I could not countenance was our refusal to start swinging inside-out and driving the ball to the opposite side of the field. If they are throwing sliders and off-speed primarily, wait and let the ball get deep, then go the other way. If you want to take your pull hack on a fresh count, I get it...but we should have reverted to small ball once we got behind. The difference in game plan between us and UK reminded me of the difference in game plans with Casey-coached teams. We used to force teams to beat themselves. |
