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

Just take the out at first! Bad decision.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No worries. Win this one going away. Have too much offense for this WS team.

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

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?

This is the best hitting catcher we have had since a certain kid out of Texas.

Amazing what can happen when you allow a kid to swing away.

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

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 RPI
