NCAA Baseball Regionals (Poll)

[The Doddfather]

I’d be very surprised if we start before 8. Between rain leading up to game 1, possible rain through the day (hopefully not enough for delays), and regional games running long, I can almost guarantee we won’t start at 6.

Baseball is baseball so at some point something won’t work out but damn Ramsey is batting 1,000% at decisions right now. What a decision to play game 1. Compare the current situation to having your NCAA Tournament start at 10 am and having to play 2 games in 1 day after sitting around all night wondering if you are going to play. All while Oklahoma or Citadel sit comfortably after winning.

Games at

10:00
2:00
6:00

Tomorrow

Helluva good call to play the early game, right?!?

 

[Lagrangejacket]

I could probably hit .080...well below the Mendoza arc.

We talking BAC?

Yes, it was

Citadel Oklahoma postposed until 10 am tomorrow. Absolutely PERFECT scenario for us. Literally perfect.

Welp anything is possible, but highly improbable.

It was absolutely the right call to start Ballard. Ramsey knows what he's doing.

As fans, we don't have all of the information that he has to work with.

Wait, so they'll have to scramble to beat each other, then get some orange slices or pickle juice, then try to beat us?

And the whole time we'll have our feet up just chomping at the bit?

Man that's unfair. I'm so, sooo concerned.

I know Virginia is kinda letting the ACC down right now, but give credit to Jacksonville State, they've won A LOT of games! 92-26 is a helluva accomplishment!

And the VA coach got tossed in this one too. CavMan is in a shambles. "Heavens to murgatroyd" was heard through sobs.

Fun Fact ... since the Sat loss at UNC, Ga Tech is 14-0 against P4 competition.

Scoring 9+ runs in 11 of those 14 wins.
Winning 3 games v Top 8 seeds.

We really want to play today for several reasons. First to get the W G2 in a DH in G4. And second to be able to finish regionals tomorrow in the second game of the day and not have to play on Monday to compress the pitching schedule for whoever starts G6 (if we win G4).

I hope our game is a real late game so I'll watch the end of it (6 hours sooner here). I'll say a prayer in Alhambra to the Baseball Gods.

The legitimately could have. Mid majors with bats have been cooking. Majority of regions look wide open. Imagining UGA having to deal with them today in that park is the saddest part of them not making it (I know they probably should have ended up towards the bottom of host sites).

I think I even heard a “sacrebleu!”

Ok... weather gurus. What are the odds today's action in Atlanta goes uninterrupted from 1000am until final pitch of Tech's game?

I’m not even going to venture a guess. We showed up yesterday with ponchos in hand, and left with an awful sunburn.

Im just hoping we get all 3 games played and our kids are in bed by midnight. I think there is a reasonable chance of that happening.

Over the years I have found the best way to induce rain wherever I am going is to leave my umbrella, poncho, rain jacket. etc. either at home or locked safely away in the trunk of my car a mile or two from where I am at. The works almost 100% of the time.
