BB: Regionals (West) 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011

[Patriot_Pride]

Choctaws all over UT Tyler, 9-4, in the bottom of the 4th.

Three, 2-run home runs for Mississippi College already and a 2-run shot for UTT.

Huge game....winner will play Pomona for the regional title if the Sagehens win @ 7 p.m.

[Pat Coleman]

Apparently Ralph you must have a top 5 team from the northeast to have a respectable pool.

No. But Bracket of Death is a big step above "respectable" there, 643.

JMO, but the baseball West Regional this year is about the equivalent of that basketball bracket, which was ridiculously loaded. There are eight regionals where there are only four basketball brackets. There are 14 teams in that bracket with seven on each side, and there were 5 ranked on one side and three on the other. 

And Chris -- perhaps you don't remember exactly what the 2009 basketball Bracket of Death contained. That Bracket of Death earned its name by containing No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 7 and No. 8. Let's not dishonor its memory by giving that name to a bracket that is merely stellar and not historically unbalanced.

MC hangs on to win 9-8...

Looks like PP will be playing MC tomorrow at noon, win or lose tonight.  Win and it's for the right to advance to the national tourney.  Lose and it's for the right to play Linfield in a winner-take-all game.

How many pitches did Colvin throw on Wednesday, and will he be ready to go tomorrow?  The setup of league play means that pitchers don't often throw on "short rest" during the regular season.

Congrats to MC they get their revenge on UTT with a nail bitting 9-8 win. The UTT starters were their weakspot and too many runs early on could not be overcome. But once again the bullpen did its job and they kept coming back shutting down MC after the early earnings. Hand it to MC they could have folded under the late inning pressure but held it together. Now all us ASC fans have to pull for MC to keep finding a way to win the close ball games.

Has the PP/ Linfield game started yet?

[TexasBB]

MC had Seamon pitch on short rest and he threw 9 against UTT in the ASC conference championship game. That game ended up going 12 innings with UTT pulling it out. This was another of a series of close games these two teams have played. I expect MC to come back with Seamon again. He threw 135 pitches in the ASC championship after throwing over 8 innings two days prior agains TLU (a 30 game winning team that did not make the NCAA tournament). So he has done it before. The question is how effective will he be and how long can he go. The cummulative impact of that many pitches will wear down any pitcher even a horse like Seamon.

Forgot about the 09 bracket, that was just silly.

[Patriot_Pride]

Got to tip your hat to Mississippi College, they got it done. You can't fall behind 9-2 and expect to win the game....although we almost stole it losing 9-8.

Unfortunately an ending to a great coaching career at UT Tyler, as Coach Vilade will end his 8-year stay with the Patriots with a loss to an ASC East rival. He ends his career an impressive 230-65 (.780) with five ASC East Titles, two ASC titles and two NCAA Appearances. Congratulations coach and good luck!!

Also, for MC, you are setup to win the whole thing now. I've got to think if Pomona wins, the Choctaws have what it takes to win two. Tyler Seamen will throw one and who knows for the other. Represent the ASC and win it all!!

Linfield has to be rooting for this rain delay to go on long enough to force both pitchers out of the game...but not long enough to push the championship game until tomorrow.

What is the procedure for washing out a game...can it happen?  Does it reset to the last full complete inning?

I think that the deadline is some time tomorrow.

I'll bet Tyler Seaman wishes that the ump had called the game one batter earlier.
