Watching Game One of the Finals tonight. ESPN: Take Note: Orel Hershiser is worth every penny for his analysis on Coleman's (the LSU pitcher) problems in the stretch. He is absolutely right, and without a doubt, the best pitching analyst who is not sitting somewhere in a dugout.
Just saw a Home Run float out to left. Not a big deal except for the fact, the ball was MISS-HIT off the barrel opposite field!!! Omaha is a very bad combination for pitchers: Normal fence lengths on top of a hill (FYI, most Mid-western ballparks are much larger in terms of distance to the fences, due to the thin air), space-age aluminum bats, nobody pitching inside, hitters looking just as comfortable as they do in B.P...Did I mention the Thin Air? In other words, Home Run Derby.
Quick note: the announcers keep discussing the heat and how the umpires are dripping with sweat, the pitchers are cramping, etc. Next year, the tourney has been moved back even further into the month (June 19-30). Think it's hot this year, wait 'til next.
