Can't give up five run innings, oh and there needs to be replay on the base paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get 27 outs to try to score. Outside of FSU we didn't beat a ton of great teams. I'm still going with what coach said - we'll be better this year but should make the tournament next year. The advantage/disadvantage is the following: 1. Your more familiar with the ball park if your the home team. Advantage home team 2. If your playing at home, your not traveling. Traveling and sleeping in hotels you will be more tired then if your home and sleeping in your own bed. Advantage home team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advantage home team Then why do football teams spend the night before a game in a hotel in the area? These players are used to that sort of thing. Unless you're talking multiple time zones I just don't see it. And most baseball fields have 90' between the bases. Sure the outfield fences are different heights but I don't see it as a big deal. Who you play matters more than where you play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking baseball Burbon Butt, football has a lot more cash to get their early, practice, etc.. 3. The crowd is usually bigger for home team, the players can feed off that energy Go look at the statistics between home team and visiting team. Let me give you something easy that your brain may comprehend. Would you rather sleep in your own bed, have your normal routine and go to a business meeting or travel, sleep in hotel room, not be your normal routine then go to meeting I totally understand if your a fry cook, none of this will make sense to you Go Bulls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never threw a single pitch in college where the field played a part in what I was doing (I also had 2 ABs that were unaffected). Traveling is 50/50. Some love it, some are bothered by it. I always liked to travel and slept better on the road. Less distractions and it's not like there's an actual crowd advantage in college baseball.

So I ask again, why does a home football team spend the night in a hotel if that is important? Or didn't you know that? As far as crowd energy, were you at the Auburn game, Notre Dame or first FSU game on the road? How the heck did we win those games? There were 70k plus cheering against us. Have you ever attended a baseball game? The crowd cheers for the home pitcher when he is on the mound when the batter has 2 strikes on him. Then when the home team batter is up with 2 strikes they start cheering. So HTF does that affect what the players are doing? It is just background noise to them.

As a player and coach in basketball, I believe there is a home court advantage. It doesn't mean you can't win on the road, but there is different lighting, sight lines, floor qualities. Fan presence too. When it comes to USF Baseball, a couple road losses are not the end. This is NOT needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no clue as to my success in life. But appreciate you guys pointing that out to him/her. The screen name may tell us something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
