How was attendance?

I don’t have numbers, but looked COVID capacity full and a rowdy bunch above home dugout!

Seriously had this been a year earlier or a year later it would have been packed. It will be as packed as it can be tomorrow, weather permitting, a 5 dollar ticket is going for $160

We walked nobody and they walked one, purdy good pitching today by both squads. Should be a wild one later today.

This is the exact reason we won. All those hr's were solo shots. After each of them, my wife would get mad. I told her, "It's ok, they are just solo shots."

That, my friends, is how you win a tight ball game.

From what I can tell from the weather channel forecast, there will be a nice window of low precipitation probability between 5:00 and 9:00 pm with renewed thundershowers after that. If I were making the call I'd move the start time up to 6:00 pm and I think we could get the whole game in and stay relatively dry doing it. But then, what do I know? ;)

Closing a weekend sweep by winning twice on Sunday is kinda how we do things.

Also, forgot to mention, but I thought Chad had a great bounce back tonight after last week in Tuscaloosa.

Dallas is the most underrated pitcher in the SEC (IMO). He deserves a lot of credit not just last night but all year. He is a huge piece to the success we’ve had thus far. Seems to be a spark in the dugout even when he isn’t pitching.

Oregon and Oregon St. both ranked, tied up, and OSU walks in one, HBP one, and walk in another.

I don’t get the Pac 12 network so I found an audio stream. That’s okay, good announcers, but it’s not where the game is headed and I hate it for the kids. It’s also not in the long term best interest of the conference.

I listened to CTV the other day when asked about attendance and environment, he said it adds to the experience for the kids. Anyone who has ever played a sport understands that and the PAC 12 is failing in that regard.

You can’t play the east coast versus west coast card all the time when you don’t try at all.

Couldn't agree more. West coast is the extreme example but it's really all of baseball. College baseball gets very little coverage on regular tv. Even MLB coverage is bad. If it's an out of market game, regardless of how good the matchup is, you're not going to see it. I remember, following Derick Jeter's quest for 3000 hits. Those games should have been covered for all to see.

The Jankees get way more than their fair share of coverage here in the Houston market and it seems to me on mlb/mlb.com/mlbnetwork.

I love baseball, but are there really takers for the game at $160? WOW!

I’m a few minutes south of ya. To me it’s nothing like living in Tennessee. I ran into a alabama fan in gatlinburg few years back the day before we played them in football and she was talking ****. It’s like they can come to our neck of the woods and not care they are so good.

I meant that there are actually TN fans around here. UT is easily the 3rd most represented SEC school around here. Enoug so that we have a North Alabama Alumni Chapter based in Huntsville.

I’ve not watched a lot of him but from what I’ve seen the key appears to be to make him throw pitches. Stay patient, he’s good for 2-3 walks most games and gets his pitch count up some. Their bullpen is likely classified as average. Get to them sooner rather than later and you have a chance.

Their pitchers will have one more day of rest when we play them because their series with Georgia started on Thursday.
