Don't they have ZOOM capacity on those cameras? Geesh..must be afraid of scanning the names on the tombstones. Does anyone know if UIC took the tour of "Al Capone's Hot Spots" while in the 'Haute?
Well they played like zombies today. I really expected them to put up a fight. A strike is a strike but it also isn't unhittable.

UIC 3B has the best arm in the Valley! Laser... Their best offensive player as well. Most likely will be a middle round draft choice. I hasten to add that offensive stats in college ball are what they are with these ping bats and inconsistent pitching. But his glove is gonna play.

ISU vs Belmont....this is going to be a beat down. 4th game in 3 days for Belmont and only 2nd game for ISU. This is why first day should of been single elimination. Sure, Belmont had enough in the tank to spoil it for SIU, but "Allstaff" doesn't stand a chance in this one.
Expected 3:30 EST game start time is already 50 minutes behind schedule, hopefully this is a quick one so UE game can start on time.

I might watch a couple of innings of this afternoon's game since all my other teams played "kids day" or "dog in the park" or "business special" or "free Pepsi product" games today. I don't think the Ante-Belmonts have much of a shot at this one.
Was interested in listening to the TV team talking about Sick State being possibly a host site for a Regional. OK, the field dimensions are legit. The cemetery is pretty cool. It's a college ballpark with some chairbacks and bleachers. And way too much foul territory in the bullpens.

I've heard if they host, they'll bring in bleachers for the 3B line...add another 1,000+...I personally like the foul territory along both lines. Flexes & tests your defense!
On Wednesday, a LFer caught a foul ball deep and allowed a run to score on tagup from 3B, moving the score from 2 runs down to 3 runs down. What might've looked like a nice play was a real bonehead decision by the LFer..

Yeah infielders need to tell him, is the out worth it. Depends on situations. Outs are valuable. Still you have to have a play somewhere. Fenlong isn't sharp the first inning, but I don't think this Belmont pitcher is going to get away with trying to throw the ball through the catcher's mitt.

Why are the fielders not wearing sunglasses? Is that outside the budget? Shades make them look swag. Of course, swag doesn't appear to be a thing in Valley baseball. No beards, no floppy hair.

I understand making the #1 seed have an easier path, but this is ridiculous. A team on their 4th game vs ISU's 2nd game.

The problem is, losers bracket teams have to use their whole pitching staff just to survive. Fenlong just eliminated that problem for the Sicks, which I guess is the reason they are in the top 20 nationally.

Thought Hannah's might move #3 Lane Miller up to today, saving Fenlong for Friday. I guess why change the rotation if it's working for 40 wins?
I wish NICK SMITH would get a CUTTER like Fenlong's...very similar pitchers.
