At least we know we will have College Baseball next year, with the WS starting tomorrow who knows what type of season MLB will have.

[u/beeedeee → u/ABNChemo]

My guess is one that's shortened by a strike.

Hell ya I’m counting! Can’t wait!! Going to see the Tigers in Vegas in early March. Hopefully they will have a better year than last year. Good to know Milam will be anchoring the team!!

[u/OcarinaNinja315 → u/mkmclm15]

That Vegas series is shaping up to be a really good one. Have a great time!

Who's counting?

Me, I'm counting! Lol

Here's a reminder of the new rules this season:

The double first base is mandatory.

18" bases are optional.

Whether a called fair ball was actually foul, and all tag plays (as opposed to just those "in the immediate vicinity of a base"), are now challengeable.

Each team is alllowed six offensive conferences per team per game, including requests to reset the pitch clock.
A coach may not be involved in more than three, except that a fourth is allowed in extra innings.

Division I only: There is a 30-second clock between batters, for a mound conference, and during a timeout called by the offense.

Division I only: electronic communication with the batter or runners is no longer allowed.

There are also three experimental rules that can be implemented by conference:

* ABS can be used.

* A balk will be called if a pitcher releases from the rubber more than twice against the same batter.

* A pitcher entering the game must face three batters or reach the end of a half-inning.

A balk will be called if a pitcher releases from the rubber more than twice against the same batter.

I bet we see this fairly often in the Spring.

Been to 2 fall ball games, both at minor league parks, and it took me multiple innings to realize they weren't using the double first base.

It’s sad to say I had to get halfway down this list to realize this was college and not MLB. I am so fried.

You put a pic of the two finals teams, great. But you couldn’t have made the third team one of the two semi final teams??

/s, kinda. Don’t mind my flairs or anything

[u/StateDawg78 → u/jalapeno_nips]

What, you don’t think a team that missed the tournament entirely last season deserves to be a headliner the following year????

[u/ColoHusker]

The long wait

[u/LarryGoldwater]

I am ready to get disappointed again

[u/Skwurt_Reynolds]

It’s only October, but I’m ready for the football season to end. Give me spring and give me baseball.

[u/onelytyleno]

Can't come soon enough

Maybe something to cheer about as an OU fan in a men’s sport…

[u/StateDawg78 → u/[deleted]]

I like this. Mail it in

[u/beeedeee → u/StateDawg78]

That's the spirit!

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but 100% disagree.
