I know Kansas sucks but this does make me feel a tiny bit better about our loss.

It's really only a discussion when EK returns, but if DC/Todd keep hitting, how much longer does Daly's glove and freshman success keep him in the lineup? He's sporting a .608 OPS and striking out 32% of the time in Big 12 play. He racked up 6 K's against Baylor in 12 AB's. Rest of the team- 10 K's in 95 AB's. He really just seems lost up there at this point.

Yep. And their two remaining series are OU and @KU. Weird shit happens (TCU dropping 2 of 3 in final series in Manhattan last year) but I have hard time seeing them not getting 5 wins out of those 6. Which gets them to 17. To tie, we'd have to go 8-1 in in remaining series of OSU, @WVU and KU.

Really hope Ivan's progress at the plate gets him paid. No clue where he ends up getting picked but shit, the production sure compares favorably to recently drafted college 1B.

Damn. I really liked Lobo. For all of the name dropping and humble bragging, I can't recall him ever being outwardly arrogant or condescending to another poster. Or if he was, it was rare. I thought that was a refreshing contrast to some of the other "insiders" on this board. Sure, brevity wasn't his strength but I always just chalked it up to enthusiasm out of loving the university and this community. I appreciated that. I do recall a kinda odd moment now that I think about it. My memory could be off but I think immamac was trying to impress a bartender downtown and get a bunch of his friends from his website to join him (narrator- nobody did). @ztejas was it you who showed up after imma left, then Lobo said he was going to come through, only to be weird and get a beer by himself and then abruptly leave without saying hi? Maybe he just didn't like Z or maybe there already were some doxxing concerns. Then again, as mentioned above, he did put out a lot of personal information on his own. Lobo, if you're reading- hope you make your way back. And sorry you lost IPIHB access.

A second thought: Pitcher was a big enough bad boy to drill batter and then yell. Once the batter, Tyreque Reed (6'1", 250 lbs), decks him, he then chooses to go after David (5'10", 175 lbs). Perhaps it was fog of war and he went for first green jersey he saw. Or it was a conscious choice, of which I guess I can't fault the logic. But this is an internet message board so I am going to exercise my right to call him a little bitch.

Had to watch it a few times to figure out what happened. David is baserunner on 3B. Batter gets dinged, looks like pitcher yells, batter appears to at least partially connect with a punch. David comes rushing in to ruckus. I can't tell if at first David was just checking to see if #6 (pitcher) was okay or if he was about to brawl before wising up when he saw entire opposing dugout rushing his way. Either way, after pitcher collects himself from getting decked, he charges David low and puts him on the ground. Appears to be a poor choice. David had zero reinforcement from his teammates (they were all down first base line) and the pitcher had literally 7 of his guys trying to pull D-Ham off. 20 seconds later, pitcher is on ground writhing in pain like a little bitch. It appears the pitcher did indeed fuck around and find out.

You can say what we are all thinking. He needs to lose the man tits.

Wear the fucking breaking ball Mitch. You aren't gonna hit shit.

And a like .650 OPS on the season. I would've liked to see a pitchout after we went up 0-1. But we didn't... and frankly the bunt was so well placed I'm not sure we had a play even if we had sold out for it.

Here comes the squeeze.

Y'all think we should bring Blair in?

Gotta get 6 more outs without DP or Allen in the dugout. Maybe addition by subtraction?

If that’s free fall, I don’t want to know what getting skullfucked by 12 runs at home to Air Force is. Probably a free fall joke in there but I’m too pissed to think of it.

I was. And I now feel poorly for it due to your genuine, good natured response. In baseball, the dead-ball era was the period from around 1900 to the emergence of Babe Ruth as a power hitter in 1919

What was it like playing in the dead-ball era?

Rooting for y'all big time this weekend. Steal this series and this thing is wide open.

SIAP but I haven’t seen the petition link posted yet. Is this kid a take or not?

FIFY

We'd have to get pretty fucking hot. My guess is 16 wins gets you piece of title this year. What everyone has to do to get there: UT: Win 10 of 12: BU, OSU, @WVU, KU OSU: Win 7 of 12: @UT, TCU, TTU, @BU (probably toughest remaining schedule) TCU: Win 6 of 9: @OSU, OU, @KU TTU: Win 9 of 12: WVU, @BU, @OSU, OU WVU: Win 10 of 15: @TTU, @KU, UT, @OU, KSU

Probably dumb questions but what does this actually look like? Just having more flexibility to hand out more "academic" scholarships on top of the 11.7 allowed by the NCAA? Regarding admission hurdles, I'm assuming it's institutional rules (not NCAA) that defines how many players we can bring in who wouldn't meet academic standards as a regular student? Is that a number we are privy to? I've been wondering about this. I hadn't seen any news on baseball deals other than something with Last Stand Hats. Are our guys actually making meaningful NIL money right now?
