A Sea Of Red

We win 16-0.


Does anyone know why college baseball does not have a Slaughter Rule ?

It's a man's game

Exactly! And for the record there is no crying in baseball either.

I liked the way a number of players made the most of their opportunities today.

I checked with a baseball guru, and he informed me that reason NCAA had no slaughter rule is because NCAA wants teams to use as much pitching as possible. Force teams to develop a deep pitching staff.

Ouch. Checked rpi today and its down to 182.

Did what we should do against a weak opponent at home today. Good to see yacyk and highfill get going.

Looks like we might lose tre todd as well. The way hes swinging the stick its hard to imagine hes not going to be taken fairly high if he keeps this up.

He doesn’t really have good sources. Historically they’ve been awful

This source was correct this time.

Your source is wrong again Ballcoach. According to Wikipedia, the mercy rule is up to the conference during the regular season and conference tournaments, not mandated either way by the NCAA. The IBAF rule is 10 runs after 7 innings played by the trailing team.

In regular season or conference tournament NCAA and NAIA college baseball, the IBAF rule may be implemented. Most NCAA conferences limit the rule to the final day of a series, for travel reasons, or primarily during conference tournaments where four to five games are played in a day, in order to allow the next game to start. The rule is not allowed in NCAA tournament play (regionals, super regionals and College World Series), in which all games must be at least nine innings.

Hunter, do you really think Wikipedia is a more credible source than ballcoach's baseball guru?

Right now the Weekly World News in the grocery store check out aisle is more credible than any source ballcoach has named

Thats not really true either. Its left up to the 2 coaches involved typically. It may be more true in conference and tourney play but its not something thats high on the conferences prioroties.

Yes. Always.

SECTION 77 By conference rule, or mutual consent of both coaches before the contest, a game may be stopped only after seven innings if one team is ahead by at least 10 runs
Each team must play an equal number of innings unless shortened because the home team needs none or only part of its half of the final inning.

See Section 77 (p. 40).

Refer to NCAA Tournament Play Rule for the real answer, which is in line as to what my source told me. We may have too get Cider to set up a debate contest to fully solve this issue. I believe me and my source would win, easily (by slaughter rule at that)

Ballcoach's baseball guru has forgottten more baseball than you guys know.

As in the CWS?

Cause Adam actually posted the Official NCAA Rule. That’s a pretty solid source

It’s called Alzheimer’s. There are treatments for that.

There is no 10 run rule in NCAA Tournament play. It has nothing to do with whatever ballcoach’s source said. It’s because you always allow teams a chance to come back during tournament play.

back in the day, LU was trailing Appy State 14-0, and came back to win.

We are missing the point in what makes ballcoach's statement ludicrus, which is the REASON given for not having a mercy rule, to "force teams to use a lot of pitchers and develop a deep pitching staff". LOL at that one.

In our "crying Jordan" blowout of JMU last year, the game was ended after 7 by mutual consent of the coaches, which would seem to be consistent with what I am reading here.

So ballcoach’s dubious source says there IS no ‘Slaughter Rule’ because teams want to develop pitchers. We have already proven there IS a ‘Slaughter Rule’ (LU Even participated in one) So now let’s see where he goes with the ‘development of pitching’ thought
