Schloss is expressing his frustration that college baseball's postseason doesn't mirror the regular season. If you really want the best teams in Omaha, he said, then you should play three three-game series to get to Omaha, just like you do in the regular season.

They don’t want the best teams there.  They never have.  There are flaws around every corner of the selection process.

Look a little deeper at St. Mary’s for example.  Top 5 in team batting average.  Their #1 starter is top 25 in terms of ERA.  That’s ridiculous that the #1 overall gets that for their opener.  Nice that we get a Holy Cross though.

And I just watched a bit of Illinois State.  Yet they’re #3 in Tallahassee.  Finished 3rd in a conference/region that has never done much in the tourney.

And I haven’t gotten to Schloss’s point that every conference plays 3 games series.  Yet we do that differently here.

Crickets from some of the posters who threw in the towel because we encountered a few bumps in the road playing in the toughest league in America 🙂 

I think Thomas Burns is the X-factor for this team. If he can continue providing what he did today, that will go a long way.

Where would we be without Robbins on the men side and Stewart in softball?

Oregon beat Oregon State, to advance out of the Eugene Regional. It’ll be the Longhorns and the Ducks in the Austin Super Regional with a trip to Omaha on the line.

Is the Oregon baseball coach as annoying as Lanning is in football?

Riojas said he's been dealing with a "constant nagging" in his right arm. He said today, he felt better than he has in a long time.

"I'm so happy that I'm pain-free," he said.

I'm super pumped that the time off/rest took care of Ruger.

How will the rest of us manage to go on knowing that the almighty baseball powerhouse that is the University of Arkansas has no more games to play this season?

Super excited we're on to the Supers!

Super concerned about our bullpen. I was thinking in both the Holy Cross game and the Tarleton St game that Schloss should have gotten Burns, Lefew, Crossland and Cozart a little work to knock the rust off, even just a batter or two each. Apparently Burns didn't need it, the others did. 

As pissed as I was at the time, I'm relieved we overcame numerous mental errors in the game, Mendoza losing track of the pitch count and stealing third remarkably worked in our favor for a much needed insurance run.
