Small ball is becoming a lost art in today's game. Nothing like a hit and run or a suicide squeeze.

Heck just sac bunting a runner from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd is rare.

Walking a batter with a runner on 2nd....1st base open. 1 out. Set up the double play. Pitchers used to be damn good at getting a ground ball. Today, not so much. Too many play the game with their ego instead of their mind.

Going to make you earn that double play for walking the batter by testing your bunt defense.

The 2 plays I miss the most are the hard slide at second to bust up a double play and catchers being able to block the plate.

Reds v Braves tonight. Show your coward ass Rod and spread the cheeks.

1st major upset of regional play has occurred. #1 Auburn throttled by #4 University of Milwaukee 13-8.

The SEC overall hasn't had a good showing, Florida had to hit walk off HR to defeat Rider 7-8.

Currently A&M is down 3-0 to Lamar.

There is an awful lot of runs being scored these days..... Iowa football wouldn't be able to keep up.... they'd need at least 8 more innings...

Yes they did , I don't care for anything UT or Austin ,Tx for that matter so I either don't list them or only if they lose.

Baseball, at any level, where a team scores more than 15 runs, to me, sux.... it's fun when your team is knocking the cover off the ball, but still....

@AlaskaGuy
In a match up of former Pac 10

#4 Washington State defeated Oregon State 3-2. Side note and something you don't see today WSU pitched a complete game and didn't give up a walk either.

 

[PokesMSUWalkingBoss]

Saint Mary's just took 3-2 lead on HR (2nd by same guy) in top 9th

 

[PokesMSUWalkingBoss]

Love seeing the underdogs and smaller schools doing well today.

 

[PokesMSUWalkingBoss]

Missouri State takes lead on Arkansas 1-0 still batting top 1st.

 

[PokesMSUWalkingBoss]

Down goes UCLA 3-2. First time #1 overall seed hasn't won their opening regional game.

Saint Mary's is the first #4 seed to defeat higher seeds in conservative seasons since 2008 and the first ever to defeat #8 national seeds in conservative seasons.

UNC up 4-0 on VCU B5
Missouri State 3-1 on Arkansas
