  1. Considering he hyped up Weaver on two different occasions leading up to the game I’m assuming that is going to be his top retention priority
  2. Gerry made a comment on a video this morning that he expects John Clark (our lone 2025 signee, top 100 recruit) to stick with Texas no matter what. Usually signees always bolt during a coaching change so I thought that was interesting.
  3. There is nothing wrong with the current stadium capacity. Once we start packing the Disch for midweek games against Sam Houston State and our current stadium seating isn’t occupied by 15-20% opposing fans on weekends like this, I’ll entertain the thought of expansion. It’s been mentioned before but I think they want to do a Yeti Yard in RF in that similar space. That could open up some interesting possibilities with student seating for big weekends.
  4. Gerry One thing I was told last night ... RT would rather be fired and get his buyout money than try and get a job now. We shall see if that remains true. UNLV and USF have/are showing interest in RT. UNLV could be heading another direction
  5. Shores is legit but he is also coming off Tommy John so I think he’s in the Sunday role to help ease him back in a bit. He’s been hit around a bit this year against teams not named Purdue Fort Wayne or Omaha. They threw their closer Evans for 44 pitches against Missouri last Saturday so my guess is he could give them up to 3 innings tomorrow if needed. If we can get Shores out of the game by the 5th they could be in that no-mans land where they have to throw a less trustworthy arm to try to bridge the gap.
  6. Going into tomorrow with Flores and Ruger fully rested and Volantis probably available for 1-2 innings. We will have a good chance.
  7. Bring in Ruger for the 9th against the righties or roll the dice?
  8. Starting to wonder if Rodriguez’s best position long term is first base.
  9. Playing Rodriguez in the field is the type of shit we would have crucified Pierce for last year.
  10. Asking Tommy Farmer to face these SEC arms is a crime
  11. Stewart could have swung a boat paddle and he wouldn’t have made contact
  12. What the hell is Rodriguez swinging at on 3-1
  13. That 1-2 slider was a strike based on the zone this ump had shown early
  14. 13 is typically the number to get in for SEC teams. Can they got 13-11 against a schedule that still includes Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, LSU and Georgia?
  15. Florida starting off 0-5 after going 13-17 last year and still going to Omaha sums up this league well.
  16. Correct, but he looked decent on Tuesday and looked decent again tonight. He might start getting some more important innings outside of blowouts.
  17. Is Howard going to mess around and get into the circle of trust? I guess I can see why Schloss and Weiner keep giving him chances.
  18. It’s a blessing in disguise that roster sizes are going to 34 next year. Will help us turn over the roster faster.
  19. Blowout loss counts the same as losing 2-1. Slam dunk still worth 2 points. On to tomorrow.
  20. It’s not close and Johnson is maybe the best recruiting head coach in the country even if you put NIL aside. Lethal combo.
  21. Hopefully for our sake Anderson is a top 3 starter in the SEC
  22. Did he not step over the batters box line on that bunt attempt?
  23. I make this comment independent of the result of this game and this weekend, but we have some work to do to upgrade the floor of this roster.
  24. Top 10-15 HS player in the country last year and straight up withdrew from the MLB draft. It’s ridiculous the NIL advantage LSU has.
  25. LSU paid Braswell six figures to come back and be a platoon player. Must be nice to have the funds they have. There is one guy on their bench who they paid 200k for out of the portal and he hasn’t started one game.
