It’s like watching 2019 Frog baseball all over again...We got the Frog bullpen in the Okie Lite v Tech game and the Frog D in the UCLA v Michigan game.

UNC forces a Game 3.

Vandy’s lead off hitter hits a HR in the 1st. 1-0

An eventful 1st inning in Fayetteville. Arkansas gets a 2-run homer in their half. Ole Miss proceeds to hit a 3-run homer. 3-2 after 1 inning.

Vandy, still in the 1st, hits another homer. 3 runs score. 4-0.

Ole Miss jumping all over the Pigs. 8-2 now in the 2nd

ARK trails Ole Miss 8-5 heading to B5.
With 2 outs & runners on 2nd & 3rd, Zach Plunkett pinch hits, but Ks.
(Volume off so not sure if he was announced as "TCU transfer Zach Plunkett." )

Still can’t believe people thought it was a big deal. Second dumbest thing in sports behind the dogpile.
No-hitter superstition may not be rooted so much in superstition as it is based on real-life psychology. The “incubation effect” for instance could be used as an explanation for the ritual of isolating the pitcher in a late inning no hit bid. The break or isolation, gives the mind time to focus in on the task or routine ahead. Not speaking of it in general could be an extension of the effect to those directly involved. Mentioning a no hit bid on the news ticker or on the broadcast doesn’t involve the participants involved in the mental, (pitch calls) and physical battle. Bringing it into question with a direct participant could alter their mental focus and approach, not to mention the bad-taste of the person broaching the subject for monetary purposes (ie: ESPN’s KH) and in direct conflict with polite behavior and convention.

The superstition involving talking about no hitters is absurdly dumb. I’ll make an exception for someone walking right up to the pitcher and saying “you have a no hitter”. Anything beyond that........ dumb.
Agree to disagree. Baseball is a game steeped in superstition, including pitchers stepping over the baselines on the way on and off the field, rally caps, and no hitter talk.

Scores of young people everywhere tune into baseball games to see players stepping over white chalk and hear commentators not talk about no hitters. Baseball superstitions are exhilarating.

anyone remember the old superstition regarding bats being tossed on the ground and two of them winding up getting crossed? I've seen guys almost hurt themselves running to get those bats uncrossed.\
