Where's BP ? He seems to have inside scoop regarding baseball stadium funding campaign.

Stay in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Omaha is just across the river. Uber to and from stadium/ hotels are like 15-20 bucks a trip. Best steaks you'll ever eat are in downtown Omaha. Buy the book of tickets if you can stay out there for the whole tournament. If not, sell the book of tickets once you have to go home. Rooms in Cedar Rapids are cheaper and there are casinos in Iowa, not in Nebraska


I think you mean Council Bluffs. Cedars Rapids would be a serious Uber


Yeah sorry, my bad. Council Bluffs, Iowa

Exactly how expensive are flights and hotels in Omaha?
Around &500-$600 from Charlotte

Hotels anywhere from $350-500 night
Tickets $200-$500 depending on location.

Council Bluffs is cheaper and has casinos. Literally right across the bridge.

Stadium in suburbs so you are u erring or driving anyway.

This is awesome. Give EA and the team a lot of credit, could've let that ACC final linger but they regrouped and played out. Unbelievable

He was obviously pumped up all weekend, but I don't think this is the right take.


Obviously glad we got to him, but he seemed like a fine person.

Unrelated, but did these games count, or was the ACCT final against Duke still the only game of consequence we've played? Maybe next weekend we will...

On one hand I can hardly wrap my head around what just happened, but on the other hand I knew they'd do it, even moreso after it was obvious the Hogs would sleep on us after 21-2.

Or maybe that's the bourbon talking.

I am 100% sure I'm happy AF right now!
I said it Friday night....but the 21-2 loss was a lot better than a 4-3 walkoff loss. It was likely much tougher on our fans who got ridiculed and couldn't control anything. It was also over so early we didn't have to burn any key relievers.

All that said, it has made it much sweeter with all the talking heads on TV/twitters, who absolutely crushed us after that blowout!

I am so very proud of this team not giving up and continuing to put on their hard hats go to work everyday, and do their jobs. They never get too high or too low and just keep playing....AND WINNING!!!

I was talking about when he came out of the game. Didn't see any post game of him until you posted this.
My apologies to the young man. And to you as well, if you were offended.

He seems fine and is a great pitcher. It is hard to like him with the announcers slobbering all over him.

First, hats off to Kevin Kopps. I know it got tiring hearing about him non-stop over the past two weeks...but he has earned all his accolades, and though I'm not sure he was "a" game tonight, he gutted it out. When you have an ace who is willing to pitch under any conditions like that (as opposed to a prima donna), you can go far.

Second, hats off to our pitching. Over the two win-or-go-home games, allowed 7 total runs to that mashers lineup at their place is very impressive. My son pointed out, and I think 100% accurate -- the key was we limited walks and HBP. If you only give up solo HRs, its usually ok....but walks lead to disasters.

In general, Friday night proved how amazing this run of pitching has been. We needed to have those 4 guys who served as starters/long relief be at there best, along with Justice, and they were for the entire 2nd half of the season adn thru the post-season. Kudos to the staff for getting them to that position.

Just watching clips, and helluva play by Tresh for the last out. That guy gets on there and it gets really tight in there. He took charge, scooped it, and made a great throw to first. For a dude that was just a hitter when he got here, he's made tremendous improvements.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.

Uncharacteristically we gave up 3 unearned runs out of those 7. Pitching was fantastic.

On the clip posted by Pack9 on Instagram or Twitter you can hear the coaches yelling Lucas name to make the play there. That ball was in no mans land. Great play.

I know it's just me being used to coaching 13 year olds but I almost passed out when that ball was thrown. 100% sure Tresh was going to whip that into the right field corner.

That play was so much harder than he made it look. Helluva play.

Yep. Luca shoulda made the play on the bunt from the C earlier in the game as well.

And what was that dog pile on Justice? He should have been on the ground but they tackled him like it was a football game. I think he is ok, but I was worried!

I will be a fan of this kid if he gets to the league. Kind of sucked they showed him and his dad's disappointment more than our kids celebrating.

Did Jose's homer clear the bleachers? Watching clips and I don't see anyone in the stands catch it.
Doesn't matter. It counts though!


No, I'm asking did he hit it completely out of the stadium? It was launched and he knew immediately. Over those bleachers had to be 450.


Pretty sure it lands mid bleachers on right side of the screen and bounces out of view.

But it was absolutely launched

How does this affect recruiting? Jajaja. That game had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Highfill and Willadsen have turned into studs. Great job by our pitching coach. I had a good feeling about him when we hired him.

I said this back when he was hired but a kid that worked for my wife pitched for Chrysler at Winthrop and LOVED the guy. Said he was a great coach and knew his sht.

If Highfill, Willadsen and Villaman stay healthy that's one helluva nice weekend group for next year.

Hopefully the JUCO arms all make it as well as get kids back healthy we missed this year...could go from a short staff to a somewhat "deep" one. But first....OMAHA BABY!

Haaa, as he was going down, I was thinking, oh lord, he's going to get his arm torn up.
Lets hope after all the adrenaline is gone, they are all good....but, they sure did earn teh dog pile.

Haaaaa. As the ball was hit, one of my sons on our group text, clearly just ahead of me, texted "OMG". As I saw that play unfolding, I took the negative out of his text and figured the ball had been thrown away. But it was a great play, with an accurate throw while on the move.
All three good solid plays in the 9th...calm, cool, and collected...much better than us observing from afar.
