Not an Alabama fan but not a fan of a running up the score either - just because.

There should be a mercy rule in this games - just saying

Mercy for Bama?


I judge not

 

[TrueOrange]

Ties record (9) for most team home runs in a tournament game.

 

[volfan102455]

Maybe they should check the Wake Forest's bats. Just joking but I am sure there is one team that would do that.

You realize the bammer coaching staff is making money here? They got solid odds on Wake giving 16 runs

 

[Jxn Vol]

If they don’t like Wake scoring then AL should pitch better.

The remaining pitchers for Alabama have also been not…great. The last three pitchers have pretty much either been throwing very wild or down the middle.

Wake is just straight up the most impressive offense in the tourney. My goodness.

That will give something for Tim Corbin to do out at Omaha. He can check bat stickers,

To be fair, they’re on their like 7th pitcher at this point.

 

[volfan102455]

So are the Alabama picthers that bad or Wake Forest that good? If the latter, no reason for anyone to go to Omaha.

Virginia wins. I think the question remains will a non-host team make it to Omaha…hosting is kind of important!

Yep. But not WF fault those 7 suck.

Yup...just gotta put on this on Sankey.

 

[TrueOrange]

Also fair.

That's just bad

Ball and aluminum-bat changes have turned college baseball into video games. It's a bit of a joke--to me, anyway, as a former Div. 1 baseball player--the
way balls rocket off of bats these days.

For a very long time--many decades--hitting a home run was a big deal. It's supposed to be a big deal. Not anymore. Now, just about any decently hit ball
to the outfield has a good chance of flying out of the park. I don't know what the HR average for D1 games is this year, or has been in recent years---but it could be 5 or more. Wouldn't surprise me. Wake Forest ALONE hit 9 home runs today. Now, I'm sure Wake has some good hitters--and no doubt game pitchers hung some balls out and over the plate--but there have been a huge number of teams with big-time lineups over the years, and lots of mediocre or worse pitchers, and one team hitting 9 home runs never happened. Or let's say it never happened until perhaps recently. Hell, look at the Vols last year--massive number of homers. Call me old school, but the ridiculous number of home runs these days has cheapened the game. I don't need to see a home run every inning to be entertained--which seems to be the sporting ethic in America. I'd like to see home runs become a big deal again rather than today's batting practice/home-run derby games.

Wake Forest is really good, obviously and they have that intangible chemistry together, they will be tough to beat. JMO!

 

[Zues1]

Let's go cats

 

[Zues1]

Wake, Fla and TCU. All solid with a chance to win it All.

 

[CAVPUT]

Wake is just straight up the most impressive offense in the tourney. My goodness.

But on any given day....as we found out last year.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Go Ducks!

Can’t think of any situation I would root for Oaral RobertS.

 

[turbovol]

What's with the bama baseball caps. Camo? Are they baseball players or deer hunters? I'm sure a lot of bama and other folks like them--they can
do gobbler yelps or somesuch after scoring a run. Oh, my!

 

[turbovol]

But on any given day....as we found out last year.

Really: I was blown away by how good our offense was last year--how many dingers we hit--but 9 in one game by one team?

Ya reckon that guy that's hit 70 hrs will make any $$$ in the bigs
