  1. I’m gonna guess pulled with a day off coming tomorrow
  2. Glad we used an offensive timeout for that
  3. Join the club. Just like the Baylor and KSU Friday guys.
  4. I fear Gasparino is at the freshman wall
  5. Lummus and Whitehead pitching through stuff too. Whitehead’s issue is why he is throwing 85 now after being 89-90.
  6. DM your social security number and credit card number and I’ll take care of it for you
  7. Tole’s arm is basically hanging on by a thread. Never fully recovered from the arm injury he had at the end of last year. It’s why he only pitches randomly. It’s an off and on thing. Duplantier has also dealt with stuff off and on this year which is why his appearances sometimes are spaced out.
  8. Maybe our offense is doing some sort of secret boycott thing after they battled their asses off against Texas State and Vandy only to see the pitching falter? Maybe they said if the pitching doesn’t show up, we won’t either.
  9. He was better last year, but maybe we are letting the Miami performance cloud our minds a bit about the overall body of work. The scouting report is out. He is a two pitch guy who can’t command one of the two, so just sit on the fastball. It’s why these guys look so comfortable when 96 is coming in.
  10. I can see why MLB scouts said bullpen arm, don’t use premium bonus money.
  11. Slider down, slider down, slider down, fastball middle middle. Repeat.
  12. The book is fully out on LBJ. Just don’t swing at the slider. Throws it for a strike 1 out of every 8 times.
  13. The trust that Pierce has in O'Dowd at this point
  14. Bob Donewald is probably looking forward to using his platinum U-Haul membership again to change cities for the 4th time in 5 years or whatever the number is.
  15. All is well at LSU
  16. I'm gonna assume the fact that neither Mitchell or Hunter have appeared in the portal yet is due to wanting to make sure their next landing spot is secured through backchannels so they don't overplay their hand and end up playing for Boston College or some such next year? Or am I overthinking it? I certainly would find it hard to believe the staff is pushing super hard for either to stay considering the type of skillsets/prospects we are being linked to in the portal.
  17. Every time I think TCU is about to turn the corner and go on a run, they do something dumb again. Apparently they are dealing with some injuries too.
  18. Gasparino is 5 for his last 33. I like some of the adjustments we have made to the lineup but they may need to swap him and Galvan for the time being, although sticking him and Kennedy back to back may not be ideal because neither gets on base a ton.
  19. Seems a lot easier to go moneywhip or steal someone in a non-revenue sport than a revenue sport, no? Uconn is probably 100x more likely to let their very successful swimming and diving coach leave for Texas than Dan Hurley. Plus, hiring in revenue sports likely involves more than just the AD, so you get additional opinions/input. I wouldn't say our hiring criteria for our top moneymaking sport 3 years ago mirrored what we did in softball or women's basketball or swimming and diving under the same leadership. Probably a multitude of reasons for that.
  20. Yet we have been sent to play at Houston in literally every sport (volleyball, football, men's basketball, women's basketball, softball, baseball and soccer)
  21. I wonder if the 10-run rule is in effect, especially with the short turnaround to a Thursday series. Let’s find out
  22. Excited to see Tumis in a year or two when he’s added some weight. He should be a guy that can sit 94-95 as he fills out.
  23. Simply can’t expect to just hit a guy who has a ERA above 8.00
