UCLA with back to back homers in bottom of the 9th to tir it and eventually a single to drive in winning run. VT out. #1 overall seed survives another day.

Is anyone else getting this annoying ass picture in basically every posts someone makes? Been happening to me for about a week, and it's pi**ing me off.



Yes


To be clear, I'm not getting a "picture", but rather a block that says,
"This image is blocked because it is from an insecure source (http). Click to open in a new tab."

This has been appearing since people have been complaining of the site crashing over the last week.

So are you all seeing this message, or are you seeing the filtered/screened warning message that I'm seeing?

I'm getting the block with that message constantly. It's very annoying.

Florida just hit back to back to back to back home runs against Miami.

Edit: Now 5 home runs in the inning.

On April 3rd, Milwaukee was 5-22 and one of the worst teams in the country.

Some of their losses:

Run-ruled 21-7 by LSU
Run-ruled 20-3 by Duke
Run-ruled 14-4 by Minnesota
Run-ruled 12-2 by SEMO
Run-ruled 17-1 by Purdue
Run-ruled 14-1 by NKU
Run-ruled 13-2 by Wright State
Run-ruled 16-2 by Notre Dame
Run-ruled 14-4 by UNLV

They finished the regular season 22-31, but won the Horizon League tournament and earned an autobid to the NCAA tournament.

Milwaukee beat #4 Auburn 13-8, beat UCF 13-6, and is now in a regional final, one win away from going to supers.

College Baseball.

Since NC State is eliminated, have no problem with Milwaukee winning the regional. If they win one more game they certainly earned it.

Things like luck, momentum, and confidence don't show up in metrics, but they can be the great equalizer in sports, particularly baseball.

See if they have enough pitching to win one more. Everyones now deep into their rotations so see if they have just enough depth over the deeper teams.

You get to these Sunday night/Monday games and it is basically like a midweek game with the pitching available.

The real loser these days is West Coast teams. Since NIL they have about died out in college baseball outside of a couple teams.

Georgia Tech and UNC are the best two teams in college baseball. Have been all year.

GT plays with fire a lot. Slow starts could come back to hurt them as the competition gets stronger.

To be fair, losing in the regional doesn't mean GT, or anyone else, isn't one of the best teams in the country. The regionals are almost always chaotic. I mean, the overall #1 seed has only won the CWS like twice this century.
