2024 Baseball Mega Thread

This is slightly off-topic, but I enjoy when the cameras show the "chainsaw starting" motion when our kids hit doubles.

This is my favorite, but make sure to call time and get it granted by the umpire before you start cranking away and walk off the bag!

Another one of my favorites is when cameras catch the 1st base coach giving the players what looks like a chewy or a pill when they get to first base!
Keep your eyes on that and let me know your thoughts if you see it! Hope it's nothing illegal, haha. The way Tolley is hitting, the NCAA probably drug tests him every game.

I have noticed the 1st base coach doing that - anyone know what it is?

I’ve got zero clue and have never seen it before. This would be a great question for Kermit or a player in an interview after the game.

Treats for being a good boy and reaching base.

The Oral Roberts 1B coach did this last year in Omaha with gummy worms (and I assume all season before the CWS). My best guess would be that they are given a piece of candy of some sort. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

5-0 lead early. Our starter was cruising 3 innings 2k’s 0 runs, 42 pitches. We pull him and go to the pen.
5-3 still in the 4th. Now on our 3rd pitcher and still in the 4th. I don’t get it. Bats looking good so far, but we’ve got a lot of ball left.

[SlappyAppy72]

5-3 good guys heading into the bottom of the 4th. Harris leaves a lot to be desired.

This offense is the real deal

[311neers]

The top 4 might be the best we’ve had. Even though last years was real good too. Tolley could be having the best Mountaineer season of all time. (this would take a lot of digging to find out)

ASL bomb, gets warning for bat flip and pimp job. Don’t let him hit it out if you don’t want him to celebrate.

And now Holderbach pegged and in pain. Didn’t look intentional though.

I just don't understand why there is not graphic for the outs. I can see the count, the men on base, the inning, the score, but no indication of how many outs there are. Just makes not sense to me. There is literally an empty box under the count that could easily display the number of outs. Frustrates me.

We currently don’t have any. LaSpa Walked 4 in a row. The pen woes continue. Beaty and Tujestch threw great and we pulled both of them.
But you’re correct, it’s not showing them.

we need 1 more really good pitcher to complement steensma ...difference between good and great or at least competitive in top 3 in the conference....11-7 now

[AppinVA]

That constant sniffing.

[t4pizza]

Bad things tend to happen when you walk the bases full. 3 runs so far, still 11-7 App. Got the strike out to end the inning.

[311neers]

We pull the guys that are pitching well and keep the ones in that aren’t. Bold strategy cotton.

Weird feeling we need 2 touchdowns to win.

[t4pizza]

3 run shot brings ETSU to within 1. App 11-10 in top 7. Seems like we are going to need some more late inning heroics from our guys.
