  1. Yeah, god bless Tommy Farmer and Winfield but we are gonna need to portal in a few outfielders this offseason.
  2. Playing with house money in this finale and still have Grubbs, Burns and Flores fully rested. Let’s make a statement.
  3. My heart is not ready for 28 more of these
  4. 4 pitchers so far this weekend that are better than any arm we saw in conference play last year.
  5. Riojas stuff is too good for the results he’s had the last 3 weeks
  6. The first pitch strike percentage to Winfield this year has to be 100%
  7. Holy crap back to back to back pitches called strikes that Harrison wasn’t getting.
  8. Mississippi State has some live arms. They’ve thrown 3 guys already who probably would have been the best Big 12 arm we faced last year.
  9. Outside of his first start of the season, Harrison has had some not ideal pitch counts.
  10. It’s hopium at this point but it sure would be nice if Winfield could take control of the LF job.
  11. The biggest question in my mind is will Terry pull a Shaka and find another spot and potentially give up his buyout before we have the chance to fire him.
  12. He’ll know pretty soon. Pierce’s office was cleaned out for 2 weeks before his firing was officially announced. These coaches aren’t stupid and neither are their agents. They will seek and get clarity quickly even if it isn’t officially announced.
  13. Rob Vaughn (Bama Coach) is a great coach. From Texas and he probably would have crawled over broken glass to College Station last year if given the chance. Good thing the Aggies chose Michael Earley instead.
  14. Going into the last 2 games with Riojas and Grubbs fully rested is huge. Great job by Dre to give us a lot of outs.
  15. My heart is not ready for 30 SEC games
  16. What a time to be getting squeezed
  17. I think the Louisville guy was a tick better but Kohn is good.
  18. Brings flashbacks to when we played at the ECU little league field a few years ago
  19. If they can win one of the first two games by using Volantis, he will be used out of the pen. You have to chase wins, especially road wins, in this conference when the opportunity presents itself.
  20. It's going to take a few SEC weekends for some of these stat padders to come back to earth (Kohn is good). LSU opens with Missouri this weekend after playing the worst non-con schedule of any SEC team. They are very good but their stats coming into the Texas series next weekend will paint them as the '27 Yankees.
  21. Pierce and Nolan Cain were both mentioned as candidates for the Rice job (opened yesterday) by Kendall Rodgers. Rodgers said he would consider Pierce the frontrunner. He said Cain would check a lot of boxes as a recruiter but also mentioned that Cain is probably in line for better head coaching jobs than Rice if he waits around.
  22. First pitch moved up to 4 PM today
  23. I’m just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride. I think we all know the likely outcome but if for some reason the unthinkable happens and this team goes in a mini-roll, I’m fairly confident the entire body of work will be evaluated a la David Pierce. I don’t think CDC is in the business of making knee jerk decisions off tournament performance again. But we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it and these players deserve to play next week. Effort has never been an issue with this group.
  24. Sean Miller and Xavier just got Shaka'd. Xavier was barely on the right side of the bubble.
