While some of you are locked in on action, the rest of us are watching the real American tournament taking place right now …
The .
Things are starting to heat up over in beautiful Omaha, and we’re closing in on crowning a new champion. Oklahoma, West Virginia, Georgia and UNC have all advanced to the semifinals, which means we could have our two championship teams set as early as this evening.
Before we dive into the winner’s bracket, though, let’s go ahead and check in with those who have come up short. Like the , who lost to Georgia on Tuesday, and are now headed back to Austin.
And while there was plenty of drama in last night’s game, the internet has zeroed in on slugger Adrian Rodriguez, who hit for the cycle earlier this week and was apparently FEELING himself against Georgia.
Unfortunately, the Baseball Gods weren’t impressed, and delivered to us perhaps the most embarrassing at-bat of the tournament.
Take a look:
Whoooooooooooooof. Not great. Not what you want after getting up, 3-0, and . You can’t do that, and then promptly strike out on three pitches.
Well, scratch that. You CAN do that, but you can’t do it and then expect to not get roasted by the internet.
And buddy, Adrian Rodriguez is getting roasted in the comments section:
I could go on and on. The internet is nothing if not predictable, so this was bound to happen, especially if Texas lost …
And the Longhorns not only went on to lose, they got shut out! Yikes. Double whammy. A good run for Texas this season, but all eyes are now on football season in Austin. Sad.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DONT @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
As for Rodriguez …
He’s done this all year. Let’s get that straight. Doesn’t make it any less embarrassing, but it’s important context.
He’s also an excellent player. A star. The sophomore hit .327 in 53 games this season. Just two days ago, he became the third player in College World Series history to hit for the cycle.
This event has been going on for 76 years! That’s an impressive stat, no matter how you slice it.
But my old high school coach always started each day with a, “What have you done for me lately?” And that, unfortunately, applies here.
The Baseball Gods always â always â win.
