LSU v. UNC

Check out this two-strike bunt.  Full count.  Runner on second.


https://twitter.com/TalkinBaseball_/status/1797833544489918789


So, which was the gutsier call?  Bunting with two strikes and a man in scoring position?  Or the third baseman letting it roll?

(In retrospect, the right call would have been not to bunt and taken the walk since the pitch was obviously a ball).

UNC went on to tie it in the ninth and win it in the tenth.

I don't have a problem with Tucupita Marcano betting on baseball if he wasn't on the active roster.

Quote
Marcano, currently a member of the San Diego Padres, was found to have placed 231 MLB-related bets, including 25 that MLB says included wagers on Pirates games while he was on the team's major league roster. However, he did not appear in any of those games because he was on the injured list following a season-ending knee injury. He was receiving medical treatment at PNC Park during that time.

He had inside information.  He bet for (or against) his own team while on the roster and while associating with other teammates.  I would love to know how hungover a pitcher was from the night before or how sore a shortstop's ankle was from some injury unknown to the public.  Who had stomach flu.  Etc.

Good points.

My thinking was that he wasn't in uniform nor anywhere near his teammates on a day-to-day basis...no opportunity to affect an outcome.

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside.
And asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?
"Yes, coach", replied the little boy. "
Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"
The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue,
curse the umpire, or call him an ass***. Do you understand all that?"
Again, the little boy nodded in the affirmative.
The coach continued, "And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets a chance to play,
it's not a dumb-a** decision or that the coach is a shit**** is it?"
"No, coach."
"Good", said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.”

Don't look now, but...

okay, LOOK!

The Orioles just took 2 of 3 from the Phillies to crawl even with the AL East division leading Yanks in the LOSS column.

The Yankees have played 3 more games than the O's putting them just 1.5 games GAMES BACK in the standings.

The O's travel to Yankee stadium for a 3 game series beginning Tuesday nite.

They hosted the Yankees in Baltimore earlier this year taking 3 out of a 4 game series.

CWS

SEC is dominating.  Eight teams whittled down to five.  Three of the four ACC teams are out.  FSU lives to fight another day.  The fourth team will be the loser between Kentucky and Florida.

Tennessee and Texas A&M are both 2-0.  FSU plays Tennessee tomorrow.  Kentucky plays Florida, with the winner playing Texas A&M the following day, and the loser going home.

Looks like it will likely be an all-SEC championship unless FSU can take two in a row from Tennessee (after losing a heartbreaker to them in the opening round).  In the first game, FSU was up by three going into the bottom of the ninth.  But Tennessee put four on the board for the walk-off win.

18 hits, and still can't punch a "W"?

Of course this is from a team that hasn't won a LCS in 40 years.

ROFL!  Knew that I would wake up this morning to something like this from you.

I turned it off when they were down by 8 runs...my phone started to light up with all my sons giving me updates.

My son Jason texted me: "Dad...don't you dare turn the game back on...they're only down by THREE RUNS!!"

Amazing that as soon as Grayson Rodriquiez was yanked, the wheels came off.

...or was it that the garbage cans were brought out or something??    :beer:
