The ATL Regional ... having an OU or Kansas waiting in Omaha. A GT loss will not hurt.
Yep! Dumb rule! Higher seed should hold the advantage since they are hosting. Only a game 7 should there be a coin toss like they do in HS baseball in best 2 of 3 series.
Loved his interview last night. Said he was having so much fun this year and that frankly last year, he sucked.
I'd sorta like to meet the intern behind this video. If it's a student like I suspect they were just entering pre-school when the movie premiered. (2011, or 2012, I remember that much about the flick.)
[On an unrelated note, I've never watched that movie. Jonah Hill and ball park franks? Makes sense. Hill, and baseball? Uh, no.]
I can't believe you've never watched that movie. It's great. Hill was perfect for his role, and the casting in total was great as the film cuts to actual game tape you see the resemblances, including Seymour Hoffman as the manager.
Moneyball, Bull Durham, For the Love of the Game, Field of Dreams, Trouble with the Curve, The Natural, Major League, A League of Their Own, all good.
I've seen all the above, sans Moneyball. Baseball was a backdrop in most of these; a sub-plot if you will. Coster's movie was more about the father - son relationship, right? Eastwood's Trouble with the Curve may be my favorite of the group; largely because of Eastwood and Amy Adams. With the exception of Timberlake, that movie was loaded with folks I enjoy watching; Eastwood (2X,) Adams, Goodman, and Robert Patrick to name a few.
It's all me, Tim. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around Hill in a baseball movie. Brad Pitt? That doesn't make it any easier.
Context: Auburn came in considered one of the best pitching staff's in the nation. When I was watching the past weekend (Saturday night, around supper time) Auburn had allowed 26 runs through their first 16 innings of Regional play.
I'm not feeling empathy here:
A rare opinion of mine that I will include in a press conference clip that I post 
I'm not feeling empathy here:
“I’m getting really disappointed… the regional format is - really concerning me if we’re talking about what’s best for student athletes.”
Auburn Coach Butch Thompson raises concern about the amount of starting pitchers that were coming back, throwing again, and totaling over 100 pitches during Regional weekend of the NCAA Baseball Tournament.
A rare opinion of mine that I will include in a press conference clip that I post
So many new eyeballs are finding College Baseball’s postseason fascinating because of the Tournament format and all the chaos that we’ve seen over the past two years. I have no doubt that the ratings have boomed. I don’t know why you would try to fix what is not broken, then again they changed the NCAA Basketball Tournament too.
HOWEVER, Butch has a point with the usage of pitchers in a 3-game series vs playing 5 games in a weekend. This is the biggest/best argument you can make against the current NCAAT format. I am not a fan of change, but I’m willing to provide a platform for passionate individuals with incredibly illustrative thoughts on a new NCAA Tournament format that logically makes sense given the current academic calendar.
No I did not see that report, I will look it up. I have to agree with @UAgrad93 said, baseball/softball parents are the worst, followed by soccer parents in jr. high and high school.
Did the "noticeable" change happen along the same time as we were hearing John Kruk saying, "we're not role models, we're baseball players."
I also believe Charles Barkley made a similar statement when he was playing about not being a role model. Professional players need to realize that kids worship them.
'I don't want to be hated': Banned youth baseball coach speaks out after viral incident
Michael Ryals, a youth baseball coach banned by a national sports organization after a viral incident, talked with USA TODAY Sports about the matter.

Looks like he's trying to shift the blame to his kid. Even if I told him not to and he did it anyway I'd take the blame publicly for a 12 year old, at home would be a different story, but as a father and a coach the responsibility would be mine.
