2024 NCAA Baseball Tournament

isn't it interesting, I was taught to take throwing lanes away from fielders with my body when coming into a base. (obviously not at first) and carey hit's to left side of the infield, stokes on 3rd with 1 out, stokes leaves to steal home as he should but stays in the dirt. I was taught to in that situation to run inside the line on the grass to reduce the throwing lane. Wondering if the rules have changed and they can't do that now in college ball?

Edit:

From the Rule Book:

SECTION 5. A runner is out when:

a. In running to any base, while trying to avoid being tagged out, the runner runs more than three feet left or right from a direct line between the base and the runner’s location at the time a play is being made;

Seems to me the Huskers are not teaching the player when stealing home to put their body between the incoming throw and the catcher. Stokes could have ran inside the line making the catcher move and thereby opening a safe slide lane.

Why is the highest seed not the home team every game? That should be the reward, right? Not that i think in baseball there is a HUGE advantage to it....but...there is a little

How in the hell are the bubbles going across the field in the A&M v Texass game not a just general "you get 3 warnings" thing?

It's cool and all....but on TV I feel like my corneas are glitching

Dude, how old are you?  You act like you know it all, get argumentative when a poster do not agree, gets crazy when the huskers lose.  I'm sure there are plenty here that played the game &/or coached.  You need to relax.

Yeah I'm not sure how seeding is determined. Seems odd... maybe a coin flip type thing like in Friday Night Lights :lol:

I remember last year Indiana State (playing for their season today) couldn't host a Super Regional last year and had to go on the road to the lower-seeded TCU because their ballpark was previously committed for the Special Olympics. Which of course you kind of have to respect them honoring their commitment there but man, with a shot on the line for a trip to Omaha, that would be a gut punch...
