College baseball started last week but it's pretty in keeping with the sport to not notice it till a good ways into the season; anyway, here's a thread for all your position player pitching, comedy fielding, bat pinging, constant bunting, upset pulling, rain delay jousting needs. No real urgency to check in until May or so, but go check out some games if any are near you, they're pretty cheap and good ways to force yourself out of the house. My office is less than 500 feet from the field at my present employer, so I'll try to post pics from a game or two at some point. Early polls are meaningless but if you must consult them I recommend the CBI Composite, which smooths out the huge anomalies present in any single poll. Short answer is LSU and Vanderbilt are expected to be very good and after that there's a lot of good teams that are not as superior—including defending champions Oregon State, who will have every chance of making Omaha again but will really miss their child-molesting ace. As advanced stats go, there's no outright Kenpom equivalent, but Boyd's World hosts a few different computer ranking systems. There's [url=https://www.baseballamerica.com/college/stories/tons[/url] of info online about NCAA baseball now, and also lots of games on TV or streaming on WatchESPN or conference networks. Scoreboard options are pretty limited: D1Baseball is reliable but costs for live updates; the NCAA one is free but slow. Might be best to check individual schools' pages. code:

NC State walked off (scampered off?) in the bottom of the 11th today against Kent State thanks to a severely misjudged popup. https://twitter.com/TechSports/status/1099086477584146432

NC State walked off again, this time with an 11th inning homer by stud catcher Patrick Bailey against a very good Coastal Carolina team. oystertoadfish posted:thanks for the thread np I miss UVA’s stadium already but with the renovations the ticket price was really starting to creep up Porting this over: ScottyJSno posted:Screw the celebrities playing in Spring Training games.

LSU had a bad week so Vandy is the new #1. Also Oregon State is up to 2. Meanwhile, in the "things that happen in college baseball" file, San Diego beat UC Riverside 31-3.

NC State picked up their first loss of the season today after going 19-0 to start the season, easily a school record. Among those 19 games were some truly ridiculous comebacks and a lot of one-run games, so there's got to be some reversion to the mean at some point. But they still got the series win over a Florida State team that is a consensus top-10 team. The loss leaves Arizona State as the lone undefeated team in college baseball.

State sweeps Miami in Miami, coming back from a ninth-inking deficit yet again. This team is wild. Edit: Mississippi State won a totally normal game against Auburn today 20-15. elentar fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Mar 24, 2019 |

Utter bullshit that it failed, all the big money programs have a third assistant they fund through sponsorships or other back channels, so they’re basically just killing off the chance for other schools to make it work above-board. It’s maintaing a competitive disadvantage but of course they frame it as preventing one.

The NCAA Tournament starts tomorrow, here's all the brackets and everything, including a bracket challenge if you want something even more volatile than the basketball version: https://www.ncaa.com/news/baseball/article/2019-05-30/ncaa-baseball-tournament-bracket-schedule-scores-through-2019 Would be amazed if it's not back to SEC dominance this year but it's a dumb sport so who knows.

The Greenville regional is wide open, with Quinnipiac beating host ECU and Campbell beating NC State. Campbell’s actually pretty good and could easily go through to the regionals at this point, since either Of the losers is going to have to reel off four straight and everything is already way behind schedule.

#1 UCLA lost to Loyola Marymount and now has to beat Baylor once and LMU twice to advance. Defending champ Oregon State is already out completely, and Michigan is the team to beat there. Could be an LMU-Michigan super regional for an Omaha spot.

Ace Jameson posted:lsu was a preseason #1, but when the bracket came out some fans were worried about Stony Brook, which I think gives you a good idea of exactly how their season has gone LSU baseball fans have very good reasons to worry about Stony Brook

LSU and UNC are both down a game. UCLA is down a game and 3-1 in the 6th. Vandy is down a game but up 1-0 in the 7th. edit: yeesh, Vandy's freshman pitcher Kumar Rocker struck out 19 in a no-hitter, first in the NCAA playoffs since 2012. elentar fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Jun 9, 2019 |

Duke clearly blew their chance at Omaha. But LSU might be doing the same.

Michigan’s either about to knock out #1 seed UCLA or blow it for the second night running, either way worth’s look.

It is wild that Michigan is going to be playing for a championship. Win or lose from here, it's a huge boost for cold-weather teams.
