The Official Tennessee vs Stanford College World Series Thread ( Mon. 6/19 2PM EST) ESPN

Had to work today so I avoided the score. Great game, all I can say is My Goodness.... we need a Catcher

Go Big Orange

We have one.

 

[Orange.]

The uniform choice these days are non traditional for a lot of teams except Alabama and those horrid *Crimson unis

*Maroon, in fact. But they call it crimpson.

Watching a replay of the game this morning and i still find that Burke move savage as he slid trying to catch the fly ball and two Stanford kids right in front of him and he tosses it to a Vols kid. That was just cruel and funny at the same time.

Made note of that myself watching yesterday! VFL !

Lol! I wasn't able to watch until last evening, so wasn't following on here.

I wondered if others noticed. Actually rewound it to show my wife. Laughably brutal!

 

[rgvol]

Chase Burns is NASTY.. Hope we get another chance to see him pitch for the VOLS again. GBO!!!

 

[Volprofch05]

Yes, because the molecular weight of air is 29, and the molecular weight of water is 18.

So at the same atmospheric temperature and pressure, the ball will fly further in air with a higher water content.

Haha, now we’re talking my language

I would like to know what those two Stanford kids thought.

Not necessarily. The polarity of water will "clump" (for lack of a better term) together making the the air damp and denser.

I just like to see scientific vocabulary

Just started listening to it about 10 minutes ago. Love Will's insight

Water vapor is much more dense than oxygen or nitrogen, so I figured high humidity results in more dense air. Denser the air, the more friction from drag on the ball

Agreed about Will's insight! I love the perspective he brings. Hope he continues to be part of the baseball podcast.

The best weather for hitting a home run, according to scientists

 

[chuckiepoo]

Water vapor is much more dense than oxygen or nitrogen, so I figured high humidity results in more dense air. Denser the air, the more friction from drag on the ball

The key word here is molecules as in N2, O2 and H2O.

I was thinking more along the line of fog, not humidity.

Scientists concur that high humidity equals less dense air so more home runs.

It’s actually just the opposite. It’s a Common misconception that is spouted by coaches and baseball commentators.

I’m just about ready to post a periodic chart and start ‘splainin’ molecules…

Might be time to think about altering the humidity at LNS every half inning...

This may help if you’re still confused:

Interesting. And thank you!

Hey man, I didn’t spend 7 years in college only to have to go back to class on a message board 30+ years later.

Thanks for rectifying my misconception
