    Witt still had a higher stock than LBJ last year despite the injury based on my understanding. Most teams saw LBJ as a reliever and his underlying metrics (extension, spin rate, ride on his fastball, etc) were not great. Witt had great underlying metrics on his stuff pre injury. Witt could have probably gone somewhere in rounds 3-5 if he dropped his price. LBJ was probably more 5th-8th round but once it got to that point I think he was set on returning and trying to prove he could be a starter and move up. Both are obviously going to have to take haircuts this year assuming they sign. The good news for LBJ is he still has leverage as a redshirt junior so he should still get a 6 figure bonus but he’ll be in a minor league bullpen. I’m not even going to pretend to know what is going to happen to Witt. Such an odd situation with him.

    Larry and Kent both had good data points against decent/good competition outside of the MVC. Larry went for 18 and 6 in the NIT championship against Seton Hall and Kent went for a 30 burger against SMU earlier in the NIT.

    Terry had that comment this week about the ball being in Hunter and Mitchell’s court in terms of returning, but they certainly seem to be attacking the portal with the assumption neither will be back. Go get Pope and Garrison and let’s cook.

    Boehm the rest of the season

    WVU and OU co-leading when they had some abysmal non-con performances is also funny. I think the smart money is on OSU at this point. Already played WVU and OU so they have a lighter part of the schedule coming up and are playing well.

    Wtf Air Force just took a series against DBU? That’ll help the SOS.

    Today’s game kind of reminded me of that game 3 against OU in 2022 at Globe Life. Went down like 7-2 in the 8th or 9th and seemed toast only to explode for like 9 runs.

    Could probably bump 93-94 on a good day with full rest and letting it fly
  9. Hookem2147
    Still gotta run Boehm out there in the bottom half right?
  10. Hookem2147
    I guess we are putting Borba at 1B and moving Thomas to the OF next inning?

    Must have scared his secrets with BYU and Washington too

    About to score 1 and 2 runs in a 3 game series against the last place team missing their best starter. Fun stuff.

    Just need a bomb off Selvig to complete the bingo card

    One swing on LBJ against the slider and it has been taken for a ball almost every other time

    Should have been out of the inning on the 2-2 pitch that was down the middle.

    Hmmm… late scratch?

    Jelkin starting for Houston. Normal Friday night guy who hasn’t pitched in a few weeks due to arm soreness. He’s pretty good.

    Maybe a little bit but I don’t think it’s enough to make a huge difference. RPI remains pretty volatile because of how they weigh road wins vs home wins. It probably does settle down a bit once conference tournaments start because everyone is playing neutral site games at that point.

    Galvan is 3 for his last 27. He’s fighting it right now. Wonder if you could see Schuessler behind the plate with Brown DH’ing and Farmer staying in LF?
  21. Hookem2147
    Correct. As we saw with our series against K-State you can move up 15-20 RPI spots in one weekend by taking a good RPI series on the road. UTRGV this Tuesday is the only truly terrible RPI game left, and if you lose home games to A&M Corpus and UTRGV in the same season you don’t deserve to make a regional anyway.
  22. Hookem2147
    RPI matters more than number of wins. We pretty much have to get in the 40’s of RPI which is going to require more than 31 wins with how things currently look. Probably closer to 33-34 wins. 19 games left including today, which would mean a 12-7/13-6 finish.
  23. Hookem2147
    What a finish. Mississippi State blew that game so many times.
  24. Hookem2147
    He had a legitimate gripe. Player should have been tossed for his antics on that homer including the bat flip and celebration. Related but kinda unrelated, I have a feeling the next rule change coming is not allowing players to leave the dugout to celebrate homers. The entire damn dugout is coming out on the field nowadays and it’s just asking for trouble.
