Louisville implosion.

[EaglesPhan36]

Huge to only give up one. Paging the Louisville offense ... PayPal ya for a couple runs

[EaglesPhan36]

Implosion continues. Errors all over. Not gonna win with this slop and no hitting. Two & BBQ again.

[EaglesPhan36]

Going to track the rest of the way. Auto Unders seem like an easier play than trying to pick what side scrapes a couple runs in.

Surrey for UCI tonight.
Beede for Vandy.
O/U is 7.5

Think it's time to tail on the Unders, especially 6.5 or higher.

[EaglesPhan36]

Watching the 1st auto play on the Under look like dead meat early LoL. That's about right. F-ing Beede can't get out of his own way sometimes. Good luck if you're a Giants fan, that kid is gonna be a maddening prospect if he pitches like he did this year.

[EaglesPhan36]

Yep. Over gonna hit in the next inning or two at worst. Guess on the bright side, this game sets up nice for my futures plays either way. Gotta study up some more for tomorrow. Probably should have thought twice about trusting Beede to pitch well with how he's been down the stretch.

[EaglesPhan36]

Do think the dueling lefties tomorrow with Dusek for Tech and Trent for Ole Miss is an Under shot @ 7.5. Also like Ole Miss @ -160. I just don't think Tech can score enough, but then again Dusek is a tough lefty that could neutralize Ole Miss some.

[Eddy Munny]

I'm liking Ole Miss too. I was kind of waiting for this game. I'll probably play the Rebels on the run line when my books posts it. They had a tough draw for their first game in Omaha, but I don't see them going home after two.

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah, I have Tech on that prop to be the first team to go out in this bracket, so I definitely expected them to lose two straight.

[EaglesPhan36]

Hot today. Upper 90s with the winds again pounding in.

Let's see how the under fares with the 1st one. So far, Unders winning 4/6. Probably not a coincidence the two Overs went with the hottest hitting team - Vandy.

Night game with TCU-Virginia is set at 5.5. Finnegan v. Waddell. Two lefties. Even at that #, could very well see a low scoring under given how good this pitchers are.

Hoping my Frogs TCOB today. If they get a W, no reason they should not be in the Champ. Series. Still think the lack of offensive execution is going to catch up with them though.

[EaglesPhan36]

Tech is going with Moseley instead of Dusek. He's not bad, but he wasn't always good as a starter. Given Dusek's postseason and.a couple of dangerous lefties in the Ole Miss lineup, I am surprised.

I am sure they go Johnny Whole Staff today, but this is peculiar. It would also make the under less attractive because Moseley can be wild, so walks could lead to a big inning.

I'd rate Ole Miss ML higher now at anything under -200.

[EaglesPhan36]

Under off to a strong start. Looks like Tech gambled right on a starter so far.

[EaglesPhan36]

Just ride those Unders. Just golden in this park with good pitching.

[EaglesPhan36]

Looks like any day with two games and sound pitching that if you have 5dimes, buy the total up as high as they allow and parlay Unders.

Unders will be 5/7 after this one.

[EaglesPhan36]

Finally, a run! Maybe I can at least rock the futures I played. Tech out first in this bracket was the big one.

Of course one run is it LoL. This park must get into the hitters heads.

[EaglesPhan36]

Nice. Nothing all game and Ole Miss gets tied with one hit and some SBs. This is why sides are tough to pick. Unders Unders Unders. Maybe Ole Miss can still win it.

[EaglesPhan36]

Mighty night Tech. Cash a futures play. Let's go TCU!

[Eddy Munny]

Had Ole Miss run line... Hate it when my team bats the bottom.

[EaglesPhan36]

This tourney man any favorite you take - I would take the ML only. Games are so tight with so little offense and mostly even pitching, there is much less of a chance that a team is winning by two IMO.

[Eddy Munny]

Yea, I hear ya EP. I got a little greedy with the payout potential. I felt I had the best team in the loser's bracket versus the worst. I also liked the pitching advantage although that proved to be not much, if any. I thought the Ole Miss bats were due to get hot after being stonewalled against VA. Oh well, lesson learned I guess. I really don't even bet that much baseball, I'm just kinda biding my time until football season begins.

[EaglesPhan36]

They really have to do something to fix this stadium. I know most of the pitching is quality and the bats have deadened the balls some, but this stadium is a big ball of suck. No HRs at all and pretty much maybe a 2% chance of seeing any when the winds blow in. They really did a disservice by making it the exact opposite of Rosenblatt. They should have built the stadium to negate the winds, not enhance them for pitchers now whereas before it favored hitters.

[Eddy Munny]

Yeah, they went from one extreme to the other. I feel like Rosenblatt was a better college stadium. They tried too hard to give TD Ameritrade a "pro" feel to it, but the CWS is for college baseball fans, not MLB'ers. Aside from the logistics of the ballparks, I felt that Rosenblatt also had more character.

I've attended games in both stadiums, and while the new park is sleek and contemporary, it feels a bit "cookie cutter" overall. Rosenblatt had more personality to it. I kind of miss seeing the Desert Dome from the Henry Doorly Zoo that arched up over the outfield horizon. I can understand the need for a new ballpark, but they didn't exactly hit a home run with TD Ameritrade. (pun intended)

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah I think they did it a lot to increase the capacity too. I think TDA can hold up to like 35,000. 27 something thousand during the Championship Series last year and I think Rosenblatt was a couple thousand left. All about the money for the NCAA.

I just don't like the idea that pitcher's rarely get punished for making shit pitches in this park. I mean c'mon - 7 games and what like 3-5 balls that hit the warning track or wall? That's pathetic.

Looks like the 5.5 won't be holding up in this game.

[EaglesPhan36]

Defense seems to be especially atrocious this year. Wow. I'll take that as a TCU fan.

[EaglesPhan36]

Perfect example. That last ball was crushed by Cron and it didn't even come close to the warning track. I guess maybe moving the fences in ten feet might at least help see a couple HRs a year.

[Eddy Munny]

The long ball is becoming an endangered species at the CWS.

[EaglesPhan36]

Amazing that the Under is alive in the 13th inning.

[EaglesPhan36]

Under 5.5 hits in a 15 inning game. Any questions? Sheesh! 6-2 for Unders now.

Irvine-Texas tomorrow. Have to search, but would think Brock vs. Hollingsworth. 5.5 the total. You can buy to 6.5 for a good price still. Will have to combat the info over, but seeing little reason to buck the trend.

[EaglesPhan36]

So it's Manarino & Hollingsworth.Under a little tougher tolook at because Manarino gives up a lot of hits. Hollingsworth could keep Irvine down though tI make it a possibility. Like Texas ML

[EaglesPhan36]

With the juice on Over, bought the Under up to 6 for just -115. I think this one might be tricky, but Unders are 6/8 so far ... really shotty defense has led to more runs than actual offense.

[EaglesPhan36]

Under once again looking like an easier pick to follow than a side. Tomorrow is TCU vs. Ole Miss. 6.5 is the total. Likely Alexander for TCU and Sam Smith for Ole Miss. I think if there is going to be an Over any time soon, this might be the game. Smith is sketchy and hittable. Alexander was very nervy in the elimination game in the Super Regional against Pepperdine and faces another good hitting team.

Of course, the equalizer is this stadium. Going to chew on tomorrow for a while. Obviously rooting for my Horned Frogs.

[opie1988]

Got our first bomb of the WS courtesy of the Longhorns.

[EaglesPhan36]

F-ing crazy. I was texting my friend who is a big Horns fan and we were talking about how shitty the park has been and then BOOM. Another easy under though, 1-0 Texas. ML and Unders winners.

Lost out my smaller Irvine future to win the bracket, but the Vandy +400 to win it all still in great shape.

[Eddy Munny]

Has the scoring always been this scarce since the move to TD park? I don't remember runs being so hard to come by. It's becoming the Bermuda Triangle for batters.

[EaglesPhan36]

Not nearly like this year. I mean Unders have been the trend at TD Ameritrade, but in the past you'd see some 8-9 run games mixed in with some 5-6 run games. This year, it seems like more than three is ridiculous.
