I still find it remarkable how teams can have a fantastic regular season and then flame out in any playoff.

Hmmm, in the end, Texas‘ pitching depth didn’t cost it. Interesting.

Baseball is quirky that way.
Our hitting has been similarly suspect all year.  In a lot of ways this team was lucky to make it this far.  But still finishing around #6 is where a lot of folks, including the selection committee, had us.

Good luck to Georgia, and farewell 2025/2026 sports season.

I hadn't paid much attention to college baseball, but my "take" on UGA was that they hit a ton and pitched just OK, which was a bad take, based on the series with MSU mostly.

I watched some of the game, the curve and slider in college seem to be hugely effective.  I guess they can tune up for the 95 heater.  I think MLB starters usually have 3-4-5 pitches they mix in to keep the hitters off the heater.

The organ player at the CWS has amused me.  He has an entertaining selection of song snippets.  

I wonder how much a gig like that pays?

This old fart LSU guy behind home plate the whole tournament has an even older LSU fart with him today.  Papa Fart, possibly?

I have also really enjoyed the organ music.

Enjoying a titos martini at the Tav in Lincoln watching the Sooners and Dawgs. 

Guess I'll root for my old buddies from Oklahoma

Every time he does the Rick Astley song, I feel like we're all getting rickrolled.

UNC came through what I perceived to be the weaker bracket, but they were very impressive through the Supers and the CWS so far.  Last week I'd have said that the winner of the OU/UGA/UT/Bama bracket was most likely to win it all, now I'm not so sure.  Both OU and UNC have been vicious in Omaha, so maybe it'll be a good one.

This is a great example of sample size.  Mystery solved.  Unremarkable.

Oklahoma was sub-.500 in SEC games....playing for a NC.

No one should pretend this is about competition.  Solely for entertainment purposes.

That's all any postseason tournament is.  Same as it ever was.
