He's standing in the box when the umpire walked out from behind the plate. Seems like someone had a reservation at Applebee's they didn't want to miss.
I read on the enternet this morning the FSU is going to leave the ACC. Is that true?
Our AD talked about how FSU receives $30mil less every year than schools in the SEC and B1G which severely limits the ability to compete with schools in those conferences. The buyout to leave is $120mil. Getting out of the GOR will be more difficult.
My understanding is that the entire NCAA has a 20-second pitch clock, but the SEC also implemented additional rules regarding things like the start of an inning and after pitching changes.
You're not going to go all IFBBB and try to organize a group HORT tailgate are you?
I have no problem with the rule only how it seemed to be enforced in this situation.
Don't know enough about the rule to judge the situation but baseball has become so ridiculous on delaying things I am ok with it
I would hate to see FSU leave ACC because that is lame schedule for clemmy in football.
The AD launched a formal declaration of war to our board of trustees yesterday that we are by far the main money maker in ACC and the current conditions are unacceptable. Also kept bringing Clemson in picture as also clearly in same spot leading to speculation the schools have already aligned and are already talking with SEC and BIG as package deal. Interesting thing is I have heard the grant of rights deal and penalty document is not public and can not be looked at except for at the ACC and there have been a ton of lawyers from several schools visiting to have a look. Speculation is it is not rock solid due to several factors including the change to other conferences GOR being so much more and if enough schools leave.
So was this the SEC rule? If so that is extra BS and should not happen. Conferences should not get their own special tweaks to fundamental rules for playing a game. Sure you can require certain equipment and have things maybe like replay, but adding changes to actual rules of game seems suspect because unfair to road teams not in conference.
The SEC rules that go beyond the NCAA rules are in effect for all conference games. They are in effect for non-conference games as well provided that the opposing team agrees. If the opposing team does not agree then the standard NCAA rules apply.
Agree. Just seems to be a slippery slope to allow conferences to start adding their own spin to fundamental rules of any traditional sport.
