Quote from: DirkPiggler on May 30, 2025, 06:11 PMOnly thing I can think of was that they didn't want to leave the entire right side of the infield open.  Willing to surrender one run to potentially head off a big inning. 

Yep and I'd even give up two to have the bases cleared. A home run in that situation often kills momentum.

#161
Creighton broke it open here in the 6th inning with 5 runs.

Currently leading KU 8-3

EDIT - a 2 out RBI double makes it 9-3.

EDIT - another 2 out double makes it 10-3. Creighton is raking.

Anyone catch sportscenter to see if iredale's double play is in the top 10? Should be that was a helluva play.

To me, it's a "don't worry about that guy" mentality. It's a runner on base either way. Focus on the batter and get him out. Risk/reward. Errand throw or some bs and guys on third or worse, then possible walk or whatever and you get traffic, which ensues guys getting a bit more nervous and making mistakes.  One guy comes around to score, and more on the bases still and the cycle continues. Maybe a stupid take, but I think it was a calculated move to allow it.

Agree it was calculated and if we had been up by say 6 or more, just don't agree with giving up on the double play only up 4

Still ESPN+ I assume?  NCAA's website says it is but they're also still showing it as an 8pm game.  Wonder why the change if not for TV purposes?

Y'all help me here. What is the name of the catcher we had a few years ago that was so hard to run on?  I think it was someone other than Opitz.

No, but he was good.  Probably Opitz but I was thinking someone else.

Opitz was all world defensively. Quiet at the plate not unusual for catchers), but nearly impossible to run on, and could call a great game.

EDIT - literally as I typed that they hit a 2 run homer

I don't hate it, but that's a ton of swing and miss in 6-9.

I posted this yesterday, but Robinett has absolutely fallen off a cliff since Texas and turned into a strikeout machine. He's the inverse of Diggs in that he'll swing at the first pitch regardless of where it is, foul the second one off. He's 0-2 in the blink of an eye on seemingly every count.

But we're stuck with him at 1st, because Peppi is much worse at the plate.

Any other regional hosts besides the #3 overall seed get their first two games relegated to ESPN+?
