Yeah the scoreboard says that Vanderbilt scored more runs and yeah everybody gave you no chance against them, you went toe to toe and with a little bit better situational hitting the score would be different. There were 4 losing teams this past weekend, so you are not alone. Remember the last time the bats went cold and you lost? First round in the regionals against Illinois State. Did you pack it in? No! You fought and played like champions. And now you are in Omaha. You dreamed of being here since you could pick up a bat. Are you ready to go home now?!? [Hell No] Are you ready for your dream to end?!?! [Hell No] L4C4 baby! Now go hit the showers and get some rest.
Damn!
Where do I sign up? I'm ready coach!!!

Freakin' Michigan. Craziness.
So ... you got Texas Tech next?? Go get em.
For the Cards, every win at this point, knocks out an SEC team. So, that's a bonus. I just hope we can do that a few times.

Go Cards! Auburn has a chance to end the season for the 3rd of the 3 ACC teams who were selected to host regionals. Hopefully, UofL will take care of business and stay alive.

4 - 1 Cards up, rain delay in top of 5th.
I can't get this confirmed, but I think that the Vandy - Miss State game that was scheduled for tonight has already been moved to tomorrow. And that MAYBE ... the Cards can resume their game around 10 pm tonight at the earliest.
Glad we have some depth with our pitching. And am happy as hell to have the lead.

Thanks. I think that's a smart move. I know they'd prefer to get games in and not get too backed up, but to ask the teams to crank it back up after their engines have been cooled for this long seems a bit unfair. Go Cards!

Cards finish against Auburn, 5 - 3 ...
2 SEC teams gone from CWS.
Cards will face another one -- the loser of the Vandy - Miss State game. I think it's scheduled for tomorrow night, at 7 or 8 ... but the rain has me unsure of the actual schedule.
I know Florida State will play later tonight against Texas Tech. Go Noles!!

RE: NCAA Baseball Tourney thread ....
Vandy, who for my money has been the best team all season, is in the driver’s seat at 2-0.
I’m excited as I booked a flight this afternoon and am headed to Omaha tomorrow morning. I enjoyed the CWS experience last June as a neutral observer of Oregon St v Washington. I couldn’t pass up the chance to see my Cards at the CWS though. Beat the Dawgs!

FSU and TT tied in the 6th inning 1-1. FSU is now 0-13 with RISP in the CWS. Bad time to go into a slump.

RE: NCAA Baseball Tourney thread ....
Thank you, Mike Martin. Class act all the way. Kind of reminds me of other legendary ACC coaches such as Bobby Cremins, Dick Sheridan, and Bones McKinney in the sense that you never heard a derogatory word about him. Even if for whatever reason you may dislike Florida State, fans would look at MM and say "he's a good guy".
Any season that ends in Omaha is a very successful season. Wish MM could've gotten that ring, but his record is one that will be very difficult to even come close to might as well surpass.
Nice job, Noles!!

Sucked watching the Noles go out.
Is it just me, or is Texas Tech extremely "hateable" (there I go again, with all that hate talk ) ?

I listened to the radio broadcast all the way to the bitter end. The pitching was spectacular from the regionals to the CWS. The Supers was an unforgettable nail biter and will go down as one of the most legendary performances in FSU history. Thank you again 11, you were the best.

Nice job, UofL!!
Final 4 includes 1 team from the Big 10+4, Big 12-2, ACC and SEC. What a year for Texas Tech...final 4's in both MBB and Baseball.
Cards face Vandy at 7pmET tonight on ESPN. You can do it, Cardinals!!

For those that really follow baseball, and know the sport .... should we be rooting for rain? The forecast is apparently iffy ... Vandy is well rested being 2 and 0 in the winner's bracket. The Cards bull pen, while deep, has obviously had more action than Vandy's.
Does a rain out help the Cards? Or does the momentum of last night's comeback get blunted with a rain out?
Useless stat of the day ...
Louisville is the 4th team ever to eliminate two SEC teams from the College World Series.
The previous three won the national championship:
Oregon State, 2018 (Mississippi State, Arkansas)
Virginia, 2015 (Florida, Vanderbilt)
Southern Cal, 1998 (Florida, Mississippi State, LSU)
