Regional Matchups Thread

You can on a concession. Also, if the colleges have advanced notice of this, they would be down for it. No one in their right mind would call seminole with a weeks notice and tell them to have the field ready. It could work and i think it would be neat. 

The teams that will be in the Regional aren’t known until Mon. So you’re gonna give the host site and 4 participants 48hours?!?!

And don’t go moving the goalposts now. You initially said off the gate. But even if you did concessions……again…..you aren’t making $2k. And if you did, why would you want to give that to someone else and not keep it for yourself?!!’

“Neat”. What’s neat is for your school to play all year & earn the right to host a Regional. The neat part is playing @2:00 in front of your fans that consists of the elementary kids and staff walking to the field to watch the HS Baseball team. They cheer for every pitch. It may be the only time some of those kids go to a game. That’s neat. Far neater than outsourcing that to the local JUCO so the kids can play on that field again that they’ve played on at some point during a tournament or travel showcase. These kids would rather play at home to punch a state tourney ticket than travel to Seminole or Murray or ECU.

I have been to every top 10 teams field outside of AM-PO or Sterling this year. I could definitely say that in my opinion, each of these high school fields are in better condition than that of MSC, ECU which I have also seen recently. Not saying that kids wouldn't love playing on these fields, but as a player who played fall ball years ago, there was much more pride to either host a regional and clinch at our home field with our fans or travel several hours and beat a rival or opposing school in their own ball park in front of their fans. I personally would never want to play regionals on a neutral site. Even if it did save us a couple hours on a bus ride. If you are competitive and have a change to advance, you will load up and drive 8 hours to play a game with your team and fans. If they have the ability to travel.

I get moving due to weather, or other events but if we are able to play of the field assigned? Let's do it. Just my opinion. I also would like to see a regional make over $2,000 at a small school in Southeastern part of the state. I have seen some that will do that on a 3-day tournament but I bet it it is a little less for a fall regional. I could potentially see it in the spring just because there are more games, But I think it would be a stretch in the fall with these 8 host schools in B & A.

Less than 5 hours to Ft. Cobb

Solid response and well thought out. 

I never said over 2 grand. I said a "grand or 2" which means i think I could make 15-1800 bucks in two days. Next time i will be more specific.

WC comes back and wins 9-8 after being down 8-3 in the 6th!

Some great games yesterday. In the Rattan/Dale game Forsythe hits a 2 run bomb in the top of the 7th to tie it up, then Rattan wins with a walk-off. Robertson for Rattan struck out 14 in 6 1/3 innings.

I believe sterling will punch the ticket as well
