BIG ten baseball tourney thread

Willie Weiss (Michigan pitcher) ejected for the old foreign substance on the glove trick.

Wolverines advance to championship game any way with a run rule win over Iowa.

Not an Iowa fan but looking forward to watching Michigan-Rutgers for the championship.

Rutgers to a bowl game - an NCAA basketball tourney bid and potential baseball tourney bid while Neb dreams of qualifying for simply one of those

Neb needs to pray that the big ten never adopts a relegation policy whereby they demote its most worthless member in favor of a more valuable summit league program

Iowa sucks.
 
Maybe I missed it in here, but didn't a Michigan pitcher get the heave ho for Phil Niekroing the ball?

Dude went to the dugout like a guilty dog that shit on your floor.

Not sure I can ever recall a college baseball pitcher getting the boot.

I haven’t seen his press conference after the championship game but doesn’t Michigan’s head coach need to be proactive and suspend his pitcher for the remainder of the year? It’s kind of a big deal, right?
***Guess B1G 10 handed down 4 game suspension. That’ll do.

Erroneous!! I’m not an Iowa fan

big Husker fan - in fact I showed up for day 1 of the baseball tourney adorned from head to toe in my favorite Husker gear and let me tell you I was shocked at the reception I received

it wasn’t hate or disdain - as these are often signs of respect -

no it was something far, far worse - it was pity - I saw it directed at all the other Husker fans as well - people felt genuine sorrow that we are fans of such a sad program

I saw it from other fans, the players and coaches. In fact between innings the first base umpire came over just to say how sorry he was

I miss the days of people yelling “Nebraska sucks!” - it is a sign of respect and jealousy

now people just shake their heads and silently mouth “I’m so sorry” 😢
See ya Iowa trash. Your obsession with Husker football is noted and I assume you’ll be back. Husker football has ruined many an Iowa fan, you’re not the first……

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

We get plenty of sorry loser assholes from all around this laughing stock of a league just like you every day who have been cucked by Nebraska Football their entire lives and just want to see what life is like on the other side.

You are proof of Nebraska’s deep emotional bond with surrounding states. The deed to your thoughts will clearly never be returned.

Your previous comment sure doesn't indicate you are a Husker fan...what it does indicate is you are a liar...pathetic....


You said.....
"Well played game - Penn state wins 5-2
Looking forward to the rest of the games

wish you were here - but you all probably had enough losing in Omaha for the year - I see you were 0-3

why in the world were you guys playing the university of New Orleans (UNO) all the way in Omaha? Twice no less

anyway stop by and say hi if you are in the area"

I cannot wait to fade every B1G team that reaches regionals

cashing in on the B1G's failures in the postseason is one of my favorite past times!
for those keeping track, this is exactly what happened (again)

you're welcome for all those who hopped on board and went 3-0 in regional finals games, all of which were easy money betting against the B1G

**maryland game not even close to over as of this posting, but let's be honest, it's over**

lol. just the best

Early line for FB

Skers -12 vs NW...

Any thoughts? I like it, I think NW will be like...hooooooorible
 
Big Ten got hosed on a couple calls today. The Michigan one was an absolute killer.


The rule about being out of the running lane is a bizarre one, in my opinion, because often being in the running lane would interfere with the throw more than running in fair territory. But that said, the rule is what it is, and the umps can’t pick and choose when to apply it. The Maryland runner was clearly in fair territory on a play that required him to run outside the foul line. That’s why he was called out - not because of the collision with the first baseman. Rule probably needs more leeway but until then, that call will get upheld 100 times out of 100.

both correct calls that unfortunately cost sharps like me at least 2 more bites at the free money apple

B1G blows, as always. absolutely never fails, and absolutely never gets old

like, you know you can just get the next guy out instead of giving up a mammoth dinger that still hasn't landed, right?

typical B1G fans rushing to the aid of their beloved vegetable of a conference - supported only by a lifeline of media dollars thanks to geography and geography alone

For awhile now I've heard a lot of "I can't stand MLB, they play the right way in college." So, where did all of these grandstanding punks come from suddenly? Earlier this season Melendez bat flipped halfway to the pitchers mound, we got guys flipping off the outfielders when he's rounding first, the standard "greatest show on earth" pimping home runs. What a shit show. Give me MLB any day. Too many entitled punks in D1 college ball.

can't throw at hitters or fight anymore, so of course this is the result

you don't see this in the high-level juco ranks, which is much closer to minor league ball than D1. want to pimp a homer? fine, but it'll cost you or a teammate mid-90s between the shoulder blades

The Maryland play in my eyes was a bad call..
The Michigan game call was a bad call , the call in the Maryland game was correct according to the Rule book, now they could of interpreted it the other way The base runner was clearly in fair territory which you can’t be , however from where the throw came from , like I said you could interpret the rule a different way and stay with a safe call, but you really can’t say the hot hosed , because they didn’t.

Initially I thought it was a terrible call and that, even if technically correct, the ump should have said "no call." The more I watch it the more I think the Maryland guy ran him over on purpose. I could be wrong but I disagree that he had nowhere else to go.
 
The call against Maryland was the correct call. If he had been in the runner's lane he would have been safe. Don't blame the umpires for a baserunning mistake.
Most people complaining seem to be focused on the collision, when that really had nothing to do with the call. I'm not crazy about the rule, especially the part that requires the lead runner to be sent back to third. But umps don't have the option say he would have scored anyway and allow the run to count. Maybe umps should have that discretion, but they don't.

I think some people think that’s why he was called out , on the other part , it’s just like the ground rule double, it’s 2 bases for everyone, in my opinion Umpires don’t need that choice, it would not be called with enough consistency.

Yup you’re right. I had to educate myself on the rule. Correct call was made.
