If Thompson is named the starter, every game that he throws an interception or looks less than perfect, we'll hear about how we should be giving Kai a chance.

Re: Pepperdine Series Thread

Disappointed but haven't given up yet. On the one hand the series win over Northwestern looks good now, their RPI is 50. On the other hand, honestly not sweeping Pepperdine at home is a head scratcher. They were swept in a 4 game series by freaking Western Michigan, and in 3 games by Villanova. Wha...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Think all you want, you are wrong. Sorry. Look at the rule. LEARN the rule. In all levels of play, the lines of the batter's box are part of the batter's box. A batter is out if his foot (or knee) is COMPLETELY outside of the batter's box. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=Colleg...

And by rule the batters were not out of the box. Know the rule. In HS (NFHS) it's 7-3-2. i would have to look at rule. i think your interpretation is wrong but i also think umpires are reluctant to call having been a d1 soccer ref myself.

Re: CFP 14-team next but only one auto G5 spot

We'll be joining USF in the ACC eventually IMO, but the question is what version of the ACC will be left. I think the one positive here is whomever is left at least has some legacy name value. Even if its Wake Forest, Boston College, Syracuse, etc. And it seems, in spite of Duke's basketball histor...

As was foreseeable years ago, the P5 have now consumed themselves--eating their own young. And it won't stop at this. Next up variable revenue sharing within conferences--play for pay instead of pay for play. The individual school eyeball count will become paramount. If Tulane can keep winning, we ...

It’s now full Helter Skelter. The NCAA is dead and buried. The only way to reel in the madness is at the conference level.

Perfect example, the left handed batter #1, Oyama. Stands with his back foot on the front line, and when he lifts his right leg to start his swing, his calf and foot swing out OVER the corner of the plate. Yet if he gets hit, they're not going to call him out. Next example, left handed batter #16, ...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Wanna bet that we never have this many hit by pitches in a series again the entire season? Its not what the umpires are doing, its what UCI is doing that the umpires are allowing. We all know that AAC umpires and refs in every sport are less than adequate.

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Did you look at how they're standing in the batter's box? Their back foot is ON the front line, in many cases OVER the front line, which isn't allowed. That's not "crowding the plate", that's purposely looking to get hit.

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Either way, if you don't throw the ball in the batter's box, you don't have to worry. If a player sets up leaning over the plate, or moves into the area between the batters boxes as the pitch is coming, it's not an awarded base. Umpires notice at the time of pitch if a batter has his arms into the ...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Leaning into a pitch entails moving toward the plate on a pitch coming inside. It's a totally unnatural act and is so obvious, it's an easy call for the ump. I didn't see all the HBP's yesterday, only catching a couple of innings between family stuff. But I haven't seen anyone "lean into"...

Re: UC-Irvine Series Thread

Their game against San Diego last night was canceled for some reason, so they'll be fully rested. 3-0 on the season so far, a sweep of North Dakota State, for what that's worth.
