Boomer Sooner!Someone check on @Hillhouse. I imagine he's losing his mind after Clemson tried an 0-2 rise ball in a situation where you can give up anything except a home run.
LOLOLOL, thanks for checking on me. I didn't see it but I had heard about it. All I can do is shake my head. One of the Ten Commandments of pitching is: you don't throw riseballs past the 5th inning with a 1 or 2 run lead. You just don't. Can an HR be hit off a dropball? Of course. But, for the 6th and 7th, the pitcher should just be counting outs in their head. 6 to go, 5 to go, etc. Percentage wise, the ball stays in the yard on dropballs. Almost everything about this game is about playing those percentages. Again I didn't see it, but from what I was told, the Clemson pitcher kept the ball down the entire game throwing only a few riseballs. Then, the plan changed somehow. I don't get it. lolSomeone check on @Hillhouse. I imagine he's losing his mind after Clemson tried an 0-2 rise ball in a situation where you can give up anything except a home run.
They definitely have potential!I am taking the Utes to win it all. Like that team. Love their stadium with snow capped mountains in the background. Playing softball at 4400 feet above sea level and cf fence at 235 feet makes for some good entertainment. Lot more green to cover. Maybe pattar could help us with 235 at 4400 equals at sea level??
Baseballs go about 10% further in Denver which has a slightly higher elevation than where Utah plays.I am taking the Utes to win it all. Like that team.

I think Montana Fouts throws riseballs in the 6th and 7th inning.
