    Kyler Murray was the best athlete in the 2015 Draft, and he would have landed first-round money had he not opted out due to his desire play two sports at Texas A&M because he was the nation's top-rated dual-threat quarterback prospect. Draft-eligible again but poised to succeed Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield at Oklahoma (where he tranferred in '16), Murray remains a tantalizing talent -- but one whom teams thought it would be nearly impossible to get him to commit to baseball.

    Think again.

    On the night before the Draft, word began to circulate within the industry that for the right price, Murray would agree to focus on baseball after playing football this fall for the Sooners. If true, he could command a bonus of $3 million or more.

    Other teams believe that the Reds (whose first two picks are at Nos. 5 and 48) and the Padres (whose top two selections are at Nos. 7 and 38) are the leading contenders to cut a discount deal in the first round so they can splurge on Murray with their second choice. Officials with both Cincinnati and San Diego denied that's the case.

    MSU goes to the bullpen to our closer up 4-1 after 7.5

    JP FRrance went 7IP in his 2nd start of the year. Best start of the year for an MSU pitcher. 2 hits. 2 walks, 5k's with the season on the line. not bad for a grad transfer from tulane

    That's after OU scored 20 in the Friday game started by your ace with the entire bullpen fresh.  Funny things happen in baseball.  Also, OU sucks.

    aggy going to lose their shit if Ole Miss gets swept today leading to the SR in Austin.

    I think the huge boost in our chances to get to Omaha would be the more important development

  4. OU with a couple of sweet outs on the bases in the bottom of the 4th.  Runner on 2nd takes off for 3rd on a routine grounder to SS and is easily thrown out and then a caught stealing at 2nd to end the inning.  Still 2-1.

    Not really seeing the problem in discussing the rules of baseball as applied to plays in the Austin Regional . . . in a thread about the Austin Regional.

    But hey, as others have said, surly gonna surly.  Yay, bitchassedness.

    It belongs more in the "Shit about baseball my dad taught me when I was 6" thread
