Which makes me fear that we'll get swept by Houston.

Just take the out at first! Bad decision.
Re: #71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3
I agree. With a 3 run lead, just get the out. Play should stand. He beat the throw.

They never reviewed the play at the plate, which could have been overturned but they’ll review this play which was obviously the correct call

Re: #71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3
Usually you only see the shortstop make that play when the runner will be out by a couple of steps. That was much too bang-bang of a play to try for it with a 3-run lead.

Re: #71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3
I'd rather have a runner at 1st with 1 out, than a runner at 3rd with one out. It was a good decision; just a failure to execute.
Re: #71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3
The home plate umpire even gave the review signal then met with the other umpires and changed his mind. Unless it was the slide into the catcher like I said.visualmagic wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 1:09 pm They never reviewed the play at the plate, which could have been overturned but they’ll review this play which was obviously the correct call

Of course that is what you'd "rather." That has nothing to do with whether it was a good decision or not. It has to do with risk/reward and probability of getting the runner out.

Re: #71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3
So you're saying we'll lose 3 of 4 to them?

Tulane needs to be 6-2 against Memphis and Houston the next two weekends, at worst.

Re: #71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3
I agree, but he had a very good chance to get the out, had he put the ball where Baumgardt could make the tag. It was worth the chance.TulaneTiger wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 1:12 pmOf course that is what you'd "rather." That has nothing to do with whether it was a good decision or not.

Welp, Wichita now set up for a big inning.

I know we ask this every weekend, but why is Stevens playing?

He fielded it cleanly, made a decent throw (considering the runner was shielding him), and the tag was applied quickly. Runner was still safe.Roller wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 1:14 pmI agree, but he had a very good chance to get the out, had he put the ball where Baumgardt could make the tag.

It would have taken a perfect play to get the runner out. That's why the throw should have gone to first. Now they are set up for a big inning.

Need to get out of this with the lead!
Re: #71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3
No worries. Win this one going away. Have too much offense for this WS team.TulaneTiger wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 1:17 pmHe fielded it cleanly, made a decent throw (considering the runner was shielding him), and the tag was applied quickly.

Stats seem to be showing something different from what we're seeing:

Re: #71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3
Hindsight is 20/20 but had we gotten the out at first it’s at worst 5-3 and we are batting right now.

Agreed!
Is Wichita supposed to be one of the top 4 teams in the conference? I suppose Cincinnati and UCF are somewhat decent, too?

The offense has really woken up since conference play started. It's great to see.

Take off the bunt and look what happens!

Re: #71 Tulane vs #54 WSU game 3
wichita by rpi, is far and away 2nd best in conference. After this series, it might change, but ECU WSU and Tulane are the only 3 conference teams in the top 70-89 Rpi. Everyone else is 100-200 in RPITulaneTiger wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 1:21 pm Agreed!
