Well, the premier baseball program in this state, Troy, is putting it on Duke. Interesting seeing players like Miss. St. best hitter playing. Of course he's from Pelham. John Mangums son also playing for MSU. There's more than enough players on these other teams from Alabama or Alabama ties to field a heck of a team. It's that way every year.

Auburn up 10-3 bottom of the 7th vs Northeastern

Little ole Samford is taking big ole FSU to the woodshed right now. 6-1 bottom of 5th. Meanwhile Bama is at the house and can't field a team that would be competitive with most upper level high schools. Unbelievable.

I agree. Very frustrating. No excuse to not be at least as good as Troy...who is actually pretty good. They definitely play with a different attitude than Alabama. Auburn has more potential than what they field also.

I am trying my best to watch this samford game but dadgum is there anything as boring as a baseball game? How people make kids under 10 play this game is beyond me. Kids dont have the attention span it requires to play baseball. I played and was pretty good until sophmore yr in highschool, but this game is so slow imo now days.

And why in the heck can you run to first after you strike out. Thats the weirdest rule in baseball yo me? You have to get out twice if the catcher drops the ball for some reason when you did not put the ball in play ever???

While I love college baseball and softball i fully understand what you are saying. It's just not for everyone. I feel the way you do about NASCAR, golf, and tennis. Just not for me.

Exactly...

Catcher doesn't even have to drop it. Swing and a miss at one in the dirt and it's on. Rule is officially uncaught third strike.

There's rules in every sport we don't like. College football is leading the pack. For me in baseball its the infield fly rule. The ball is in play. Make the defense make the play or try something fancy for two. Both are subject to screw ups but part of the game...or should be with a ball hit between the lines.

Auburn 12-1 over Army

Can't believe Auburn threw Mize tonight.

The SEC has had a pretty good showing so far in the regionals. None have been eliminated yet

Corndogs are struggling with the Beavers. Hess is off tonight

They getting dealt with in Beaverland.

Oregon State has always interested me as a baseball power. But they’ve earned respect.

Auburn is getting confident and swinging the bat pretty good now

I may agree with the confidence part, but hitting against Northeastern’s #1 and Army’s #2 doesn’t really tell you much.

The bats went cold in Hoover against TAM and Miss and it was ugly those two games.

Confidence was lacking in the SEC tournament,though they did face better pitching.Confidence is a major attribute in the batter's box

Troy is spanking Georgia right now.

Samford giving Miss St a hard time.

Miss State is having an epic 3rd inning against OU. But I don’t understand who thought it was a good idea for MSU to wear all black in the Tallahassee heat and humidity.

I’m pulling for either of the Mississippi schools to win it all.

All I get is sec network. Would be nice to see more games

Auburn looking good too. Big inning for Ole Miss in the top of the 9th. Hopefully Caracci can close them out

Hated to see my Bulldogs loose to MSU today. They had a heck of a showing in the regional though.

Auburn ripping NC State, 13-3 bottom of the 8th NCST coming to bat.


Samford played great today. They should be holding their heads high.

Ole Miss tried to give it away. That was too close.

Nope

Tigers swinging the bat.Let's go to Gainesville,,,

Auburn advances, probably get the gayturds in the Super Regional.

State of AL rankings:

Auburn
Troy
Samford
UAB
Jacksonville St
Alabama

N.C. State got their regional as the last seeded team at 16. AU went there as the 17th seed, first team out. Saw a graphic comparing the resumes, RPI, wins v top 50, etc. AU’s resume was dominant, no comparison. Don’t know who the committee is for baseball postseason, but they pull stupid stuff every year.

Auburn swept the Raleigh regional by a combined score of 40-12.WDE

How'd bammer do in their regional? I haven't heard.

In that noggin 24 - 7

Nah you're off just a bit. 26-14

People can make the numbers read what they want but IMO that is probably pretty accurate. But programs aren't built in one year. If looking at a number say 15 years it would probably still start with Auburn and Troy 1 and 2. #3....who knows, possibly USA. Thus the frustration for someone who watches Alabama. No excuse for them not being in the 1 or 2 spot in state over 15 years. All state schools have equal rules and regs but Alabama should be able to attract some top level in state talent.

Truthfully, there are probably a couple of Jr. College teams that fit in there somewhere, too. That might also be true if you looked at the last 15 years. Remember a lot of 2 year schools are just prep work for the draft.

Anyone catch the Vandy game last night? 9 home runs and the Vandy shortstop had 10 RBI's. They drug Clemson's Skull across the diamond and then stole all their women. They need to add a Tombstone to their centerfield after Vandy destroyed them.

Nah,Bama wasn't even an afterthought this year...

Troy is like your typical mid-major or small D1 when playing against the big boys. Just like in football where several of these smaller schools can hang with the most of the big boys for the first half of the game then late in the 3rd quarter, that roster depth starts coming into play. Same thing in baseball. Based on what I saw this weekend, Troy just did not have the pitching depth. Once they got past their first 2 starters, they were pretty much done. You've got to have 4-5 solid starters to compete in the regional format due to the potential number of games you may end up playing. The format heavily favors the bigger LSU's, Ole Misses, Floridas, etc.

Troy can play with anyone and be competitive, if it's a one game winner take all deal with both staffs having fresh arms, but in a regional format, that lack of both starting and bullpen depth just always comes back to bite the smaller schools 95% of the time. The bigger schools, with more prestige, better facilities, more money etc, attract those better pitchers that aren't the #1 or #2 guy but are still very solid pitchers, because they get more exposure at the bigger schools which is what those guys are looking for. Typically, their 4, 5, and 6 guys would be the 1 or 2 guy at a smaller school like Troy. Look at the resumes of Florida's or LSU's number 4, 5 and 6 guys and then compare them to Troy's. Troy did very well and should be congratulated considering the above.

AU played very well but will most likely end up facing Florida in the super-regional. If AU's bats stay hot, they've got a really good chance to beat FL. FL was super hot starting the season but was 4-6 in its last 10 games coming into the regional. AU has a 50/50 if not better chance to knock FL off this year.

I think Mize will get us one win.Someone else will have to step up for the other.

This is spot on and why so many times the big schools lose the mid week games to the Troys, UABs and Samfords of the world.

The black bears better wake up.

Too late in this one, but maybe game 3. I'm not sure they can out hit this bunch.

The blue devils put it on jawja. Elimination game at 4.

Casey Mize goes #1 to Detroit...

Guaranteed 8 mil for your first job out of college. Not bad, but he'll probably be eating a lot of bologna sandwiches between paychecks to make ends meet.

Yeah,it's going to be tough...

Oklahoma's starting quarterback this coming season, Kyler Murray, went #9 in the draft...meaning he has about a $4-5 million dollar decision to make.

Wouldn’t be much of a decision for me. That’s a fact.

Ole Miss is running out of outs

The decision has already been made. He's playing football in the fall and will join the A's after bowl season is over.

Well the SEC ain't looking so hot anymore. Arkansas, Auburn, State, and Vandy all seem to be pretty hot. Maybe they can make a run through Omaha

SC is already in the Super Regionals, too.

UF is fighting for a spot right now. Very early, but not looking good for them right now. Down 2-0, with FAU having runners on 1st and 2nd and only one out.

Jawja can’t have nothin this year.

The gaters were down by 2 and looking like shucks when I walked away from the TV a few minutes ago. If the Fighting Kiffins pull it out AU will host the super regional.

UGA and Ole Miss crapped the bed today. Two of the top 8 seeds. Both too good to let that happen.

Long way to go in this UF game.

I love how they put all the SEC teams in the Super's against each other.

It be AU vs. the gaters in G'ville. They pulled it out, but really didn't look that good today. Quite a few fielding problems the gaters need to get worked out.

6 of the 16 teams left in the country are from the SEC. then As 3F said the 6 SEC teams are playing each other in the supers. Which guarantees 3 of the final 8 in Omaha will be from the SEC. not bad IMO

If I remember correctly, one year several years ago it was like 6 of the 8 teams in Omaho where from the SEC. Every since then they seem to get paired up before it gets to that point.

SEC hold the record with 4 they’ve done it 3 times. 97, 04, and 15

Yea, I can't remember $&'*&. I do remember what had to be 04 there was a lot of complaining. Then after that it looked like they paired them up so to knock each other off. Then there was the season turmoil with northern teams complaining about southern teams starting the season earlier than they could. So that changed.

MSU and Vandy all tied up bot 6.

Wow. Vandy tied it up. I would like to stomp that stupid whistle someone has. It is more annoying then a dang cowbell.

Wow, walked off FSU at home, same thing at Vandy. I bet you don’t see that too often

walkoff following inside the park to tie it up. That kid and the freshmen from Duke who had 13 bats in regular season but who hit 10/14 in regional are having beyond story book tournys.

Pressure of the Super seems to be too much for Auburn.Errors and bad decisions can't be overcome while not swinging the bat.Not over yet,see if they're more focused tomorrow...

Mize got rocked.

Singer is cruising after giving up a couple of runs early.

Singer definitely showed him up.Tiger offense didn't help.

Watching Tenn tech and Texas. Good game so far. Tech up 2-1

Golden Eagles are tough.I see them in Omaha

How do you remain a student athlete if you are not in school for spring and summer?

Tigers 3-2.WDE

That was a great game. 2 good ones about to start now too

AU/UF was a great game with some fantastic pitching.

Round 3 tomorrow.

Lot of 3 game series. Been a good weekend...

Somebody needs to kick these Vanderbilt whistlers in the nuts. I'm about to have to mute the tv

Try sitting here listening to it in person. They haven’t shut up the whole game.

As bad as a cow bell or vevazula.

Vandy/MSU game is phenomenal. Vandy down by 3 going into the bottom of the 9th, has hit two homers to tie it.

You beat me to it.

Yeah the MSU pitcher felt Pappanastos pain after giving up 2 homers in bottom of the ninth. Luckily, his teammates picked him up and pulled out the win in extras. Great game.

Dr. B

Mississippi State got it done again last night bottom of the ninth.

That was a great defensive game by both teams. I watched the whole thing and it came down to State having a few more good sticks than Washington had.

Since Alabama is no longer a factor in Omaha, I pick a team to pull for. It's always an SEC team and for various reasons. Miss. St. usually one of my favorites when they are there. The reason is State always fields a team that looks like they just set their beer down and runs out on the field. These guys look like any you find at an Alabama hunting camp. A bunch of misfits that fit no mold. Usually they have a few from our state playing. Come across as a bunch of good old country boys.

Yep! I agree! MSU has a really good center fielder with Mangum. His dad played DB at Bama back in late 80's. Dude is for real. I would love to see MSU go all the way.

Dr. B

Florida's hitting, which was a huge strength for them nearly the entire season, has fallen off the map in the last month. Last night was no different.

I was out in South Dakota and Wyoming and stopped by Omaha on the way home and caught the games Sat. Hot as heck there.

State is hammering UNC right now. This has been a long inning for the tar heels

I have it on in the background at work. Went down to the lab for a few minutes...4-2 state...come back and now it's 12-2.

Saw a little of the Oregon St./UNC game and the admitted child molester was pitching for OSU and the announcers acted like they were in shock that he hasn't been drafted either this year or last. Talk about ignoring the elephant in the room....sheesh.

Well it is espn

Harold Reynolds was their best commentator. He was fired for asking a woman for a little bit. If it was a man he asked for a little bit from, would ESPN have fired him??

No he'd get an espy award.

I don't know about an espy but don't think he would have been fired. ESPN would not want to be associated with denouncing homosexuality.

Y'all check out the interview this Ms State fan gave. I'm not sure how he kept a straight face.

https://www.3newsnow.com/omahasport...tate-super-fan-a-big-hit-on-social-media

Gators and Texas tech is shaping up to be a good one too. Florida was lucky to escape that inning

Florida keeps playing around with Tech. One swing from a tie game.

Florida is going to give this one away

With Florida's win last night, the SEC has three out of the final four teams in Omaha

Yea, how did Oregon St. get into the SEC tournament??

Well State made a mess of that one tonight. Hopefully they can bounce back

Yea, their problems started before the game and went down hill from there. Maybe they'll come back but Oregon St. is strong.

State has been living on last minute luck. That doesn't last forever. Just ask auburn.

Arkansas can rip it. They're going to be tough

Yea, but losing your starting pitcher right before the game in a freak accident is the opposite end of the luck chart. That was some type of destiny, or Oregon St. sacrificed a chicken right before the game, or the baseball heavens are po'ed at MSU.

Ain't the first time state has had this happen at the CWS either

Yeah it's crazy State has never won a CWS title with the teams they've had.

Omahogs strike again with a bomb

State is the only SEC team that has never won a National Championship in anything. Not a single one in a 123 years.

OSU and State playing right now to see who faces the Hogs for the championship. I hope State can pull it out but OSU can rake.

Hail State just giving it away.

I was wanting to see MSU in the finals. But at least the SEC is being represented again in a championship game.

MSU pitching was suspect all along. Their hitting is what saved their hides in the regional and super regionals. Wheels were bound to come off at some point. Should have won that 3rd game but giving up 5 runs with 2 outs is just about inexcusable. Their pitching was solid from that point on but the damage was done early.

Dr. B

FIFY

I thought they made a good run, for a team that wasn't even gonna make the SEC tournament until they swept Florida that final series. Definitely, a whirlwind kind of season.

Maybe the new coach will be able to get them back there next season.

That new coach does not have that good of a record. They should have kept dancing with the one that got them there.

That call on the dp ball could end up being huge. I sure hope arkansas beats this POS pitcher from osu

Freaking Lester the molesterer pitching for the vaginas. What a sad day for the CWS
