No clue if that's likely or not, but, personally, I don't care. As long as both teams use similar performing bats, I'm good. High scoring games are better for attendance though - no doubt about that...

I don't know or care who you are, but you come across as the most naive SOB on the planet. <div>

Get out of here. Coach is one of the better posters on this board. We don't need Ole Miss fools on here posting their opinions.
significantly safer. Remember, the bats had already been deadened once after the 21-14 CWS final back in the late 90s or so. The bats in use in the late 2000's weren't any less safe than these bats are. Coach34 is right. The new bats are killing the game of college baseball.
...I've noticed every SEC team that comes to the plate is always swinging for the fences.
No matter the game situation, they all act like a drunken Babe Ruth in the batting box.
I don't care how dead the bats are now; if you just make decent contact, you'll get a seeing-eye single or a blooper to the shallow outfield. And that's enough to move the baserunners around & disrupt the pitcher.
But SEC batters don't try to make decent contact; they swing out of their shoes every time the ball nears the strike zone.
MSU is really bad about this. There is not a HR hitter on the whole team, yet they all swing the bat with the haphazard abandon of Sammy Sosa.
The bats aren't the problem in college baseball.
The problem is a vast array of hitting coaches with their heads up their asses.
You want to see a team that knows how to properly utilize the new bats? Here you go...

..if you are seeing well-coached, well-disciplined hitters in today's game of baseball, then elaborate.
Because I am only reporting what I am seeing.
That's now I reached my conclusion; my eyes.

that's your opinion, but you'll have to excuse me for not respecting the opinion of someone who doesn't even know the roster.
That is, from a standpoint of preferring use of wood bats in college. Now, I can see it causing a money strain on the small programs (SWAC and other small/mid major conferences). This is where MLB should be allowed to step in and help. The whole bat controversy does not fly with me, however. Bama/UK are in the 8th with 25 hits between them. UGA/SC just finished up with 23 hits between them. The ball does not have to get out of the park to score runs. It just has to get out of the infield. On the ground. That is something we are not capable of doing. Screw the fences and the bats both. Just learn to hit the 17ing ball where they ain't. It is as simple as that. All this BS about moving fences and changing bats is just that. BS. I don't see loss of interest in the game in Baton Rouge, Fayettville, Columbia, Oxford, Gainesville and a lot of other places. Just hit the 17ing baseball around the park and you will score runs. Like a famous manager once said: "It's a simple game. You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball." That's all you have to do and everything else will take care of itself.
