RE: 2019 WAC Baseball Tournament
Sacramento State beat Bakersfield earlier today. Interesting note though, Sacramento pitched two of their starters today so they have pitched their top 3 pitchers already.
GCU and UTRGV was close but GCU ran away with it at the end.
NMSU scored 1 in the 7th and 6 in the 8th and beat Utah Valley 7-1.
Sacramento State will play Utah Valley tomorrow in the first elimination game.
The winner plays Sacramento State in the second elimination game.
New Mexico State and Grand Canyon will meet tomorrow night in the Semifinal game.

That is odd, but I think that means both pitchers will be available to a certain extent tomorrow. Neither pitcher threw an excessive amount of pitchers. This is the 3rd year in a row we eliminated Bako from the WACT. Winner of our game plays UTRGV right?
I've been checking in on ESPN+ and the quality is utter garbage. There is almost always a "technical difficulties" message up. I don't recall any of the last 2-3 WACT streams being this pathetic. WAFJ.

I thought it was odd too. I believe both pitched about 4 innings each. It will be interesting to see how they use them the rest of the way.

Both of the SacSt starters that pitched yesterday threw around 50 pitches so I think they have 30/40 more pitches in both guys today. I'm not sure it bodes well for SacSt if the game UVU is a offensive explosion where both teams are scoring 8 to 9 runs each.

Previous WACT's were on the WAC Digital network. This year in Hurd's infinite stupidity, he thought it was best to put all the WACT's on ESPN +. They have been nothing but a mess. During the WAC Basketball tournament, they went back to WACDN for some of the women's games because ESPN + could not get the feed to work.
I hope the WAC made some coin because they sure are not getting decent exposure.

Unfortunately no - working, trying to meet some deadlines. Maybe tomorrow.
Stadium is about 8 miles from home.

With all the crying coming out of the conference about "internet issues", this seems more like a WAC issue than an ESPN+ issue. If it really was an ESPN issue and the WAC was able to deliver a reliable stream last night, they could have put it up on the DN. That did not happen.

I agree that it ESPN+ has been garbage so far. The UTRGV vs. GCU literally went off air for several innings and was poor quality when it was "working". The whole NMSU vs. UVU game was unavailable.

RE: 2019 WAC Baseball Tournament
So why are Sac State and UTRGV playing in the first game this morning? You'd think it should have been UVU vs. Sac State and then the winner plays UTRGV. Not sure why a #2 seed gets punished by having to play a double header to survive, and a #6 seed only has to win one game. Hmmm ....

RE: 2019 WAC Baseball Tournament
I don't understand that either - it should be the other way around - the two lowest seeded losers play first.
Better yet - expand the tourney to 8 teams.

Know the feeling. It happened to GCU last year. On a positive note, it also happened to NMSU the year before that and they came back and won the tournament last year. Perhaps GCU wins the tournament this year and then it is your turn in 2020.

Sac State eliminates its 3rd team of the tournament by taking out UVU. In order to win it all they will literally have to take out every single team.

Given that there have been very few issues with streaming in the past, I am blaming ESPN for this, that is assuming the WAC production of the WACT has gone unchanged which I'm sure is a big assumption.
