OMAHA—We’re having fun with the video format, and it’s my last day/night in town, so we did a two-part postgame podcast. First comes part one, talking about the North Carolina-Southern Miss game primarily, and then part two, looking more at the Texas-ASU matchup and Wednesday’s game. Check out the entire 7 minutes here, and thanks for viewing.

I want to thank you guys for reporting on college baseball and for appreciating the game. My axe to grind is that ESPN does not like college baseball. At least that is the impression that those of us get who are not in Rosenblatt. We have to listen to the yahoos in the booth who cannot keep their heads in the game — worst ever last night. I’ve had conversations that ramble on and on and produce a ton of chuckles, but not on national TV. What are those guys smoking?
Aaron, John: Thanks again.
Posted by Guy | June 17, 2009 at 8:01 am | ShortcutI agree with John. I am a woman who loves college sports and I think the broadcasters in the booth last night were horrible. Instead of covering the game, they couldn’t stop idolizing Leake, discussing draft picks, even movies, long enough to let the audience even know who was batting. Jungmann did a fantastic job and most innings they never even mentioned him. 1-2-3 innings and they were somewhere else. Plus the slams against Garrido were too much. He’s the winningist coach in college baseball for a reason. Instead they made it sound like he is working with a bunch of kids who can’t hit so that is why they bunt. They don’t understand — sac bunts are essential to his type of game and no matter where you are in the lineup, you will be bunting, if that is what he deems best. You may be a power hitter, it doesn’t matter. It frustrates me sometimes that he does that because it causes the guys to have lower batting averages but it works. Also, no one mentioned that Disch-Faulk field in Austin is huge and not a batter’s paradise — therefore the players are going to have fewer homeruns than alot of other teams. But, most importantly they are a team!!
