NFT: Anyone follow the College Baseball Playoffs?

Jints in Carolina : 6/11/2021 1:50 pm
NC State plays at #1 Arkansas at 6 tonight. Tall order trying to win 2 of 3 from the Hogs.

Vandy leads ECU 1-0 in the 6th on ESPN 2 right now.
Yep...

Following the Irish....their offense has been pretty solid although an SEC team in MS State should prove interesting...

I was following when ODU was still alive until UVA knocked us out and advanced out of our region.

All of our games were super intense. I'm kind of glad they aren't playing anymore. LOL

As usual, the SEC stands tall with Ark, Miss State, Vandy, LSU, Ole Miss, Tenn.

ECU is a pretty good team. So I am looking forward to see how they deal with Vandy's big two - Leiter and Kumar.

ND can really hit. Should be a good one with them and Miss St.

My son has played against a few of these freshmen who are shining this year. Keep an eye on Kyle Teel (NJ) of UVA. Tremendous left handed hitter who is a very competent catcher and a good corner OF, too.

Former Wahoo. UVA had a super exciting Regional, coming out of the losers bracket. Great pitching, not a lot of offense. UVA reliever Stephen Schoch is the most entertaining reliever since the Mad Hungarian.

He is a free spirit. Love his mid-high 70s slider.

The performance by Neeck in the first game against ODU was unbelievable. I think he struck out 15 in 6 innings...ODU struck out like 20+X in 9 innings.

If UVA hits, they could win the whole thing. If Kent and Newell can get hot - they just had down years (especially Newell) - that would help significantly.

that might have cost them the game. But glad to see them even it up today. Big game tomorrow.

I almost went out to Omaha back when they won it all in 2015
UVA's run has been amazing  
Greg from LI : 6/13/2021 10:10 pm : link
They've been on the ropes over and over and just keep surviving. This is a team that was 4-12 in the conference not too long ago. Neeck's performance in relief against ODU was one of the most remarkable pitching performances I've ever seen at any level.

If they can advance to Omaha after dropping the first game in both the regional and the Super, that would be unbelievable.

These comments are amusing now.

It's not every day you see a team win a series in which they were outscored 28-11. Wow. Arkansas didn't drop a single series all year in the brutal SEC, and now they're going home. Love this tournament.
Still cannot believe NC State pulled that off!

Kyle Teel just hit a big 2-out grand slam in the 7th today when down 2-1 to give UVA its first lead of the game and help them punch their ticket to Omaha

No big deal, just another late inning, two-out comeback to earn a ticket to Omaha. This team is amazing. Pitching has been lights out and the lineup has come through in big spots.

I watched it, too. Teel is a lot of fun to watch. He's just a baseball player. Seems to really love the game.

Did you see that throw he made from right field on the DBU kid going for the double? Teel threw a laser to Kent and the ump called the runner out. But it went to replay and they overturned it. But it was still an incredible play.

And Arkansas went with Klopps the entire game. He's been their closer all year and is going to win the Golden Spike Award this year. So he showed some real guts starting a game for the first time all year and going the distance.

The NC State bullpen is really, really good.

plays Vandy tonight at 7pm. Jack Leiter is going for Vandy. He's Al's kid and projected to be a top five draft choice in a few weeks.

Not a big kid. While he throws hard, he looks to be a pretty crafty pitcher.

I have seen Leiter pitch a few times this year. Vandy is so tough because they are built perfect for these tournaments.

Vandy definitely have the most talent in the country from pitching to hitting to defense. But I expect NC State to give them a real run tonight. They play good D, can hit and I really like their bullpen with Justice and Villaman. My son played against Villaman a few years ago. He's a tough lefty who can bring it almost effortlessly.

That Vandy loss took some life out of Zona. They scored early off Kumar and had control over that game. But their bullpen let them down in the 7th inning.

bw in dc : 6/23/2021 11:10 pm : link
Up 5-4, two outs, and two strikes on the batter. And their closer Beck was on fire.

But a walk, an infield hit, a hard single and then, inexplicably, a wild pitch that hits the backstop leads to a 6-5 Vandy win.

Incredible.

AnnapolisMike : 6/26/2021 7:25 am : link
I'm rooting for Vandy. Not the way you want to advance. NC State played with lots of heart and got great pitching outings. It really sucks for them, but if you are going to not get vaccinated, you better avoid the virus. NC state was subject to testing and Vandy players were not as they are all vaccinated.
