  1. 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.
  2. Outside of his first start of the season, Harrison has had some not ideal pitch counts.
  3. It’s hopium at this point but it sure would be nice if Winfield could take control of the LF job.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. My heart is not ready for 30 SEC games
  9. What a time to be getting squeezed
  10. I think the Louisville guy was a tick better but Kohn is good.
  11. Brings flashbacks to when we played at the ECU little league field a few years ago
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. First pitch moved up to 4 PM today
  16. 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.
  17. Sean Miller and Xavier just got Shaka'd. Xavier was barely on the right side of the bubble.
  18. Imagine if we moved Mark to PG a month ago
  19. My guess is we are playing 1 tomorrow and 2 on Sunday.
  20. North Carolina shouldn't be within 500 miles of the tournament. If their jerseys said Boston College, they wouldn't even be considered for the field. Has a team with one Q1 win ever received an at-large bid?
  21. There are a million valid arguments to firing Terry and this one might be dead last. Yes, if you took away the best player on every mediocre SEC team they would be significantly worse. More at 6.
  22. Goodman is Beard's mouthpiece (and I'm sure the mouthpiece for other coaches too).
  23. Wasn't Bilas one of the ones pushing for Terry to be hired originally back in 2023? My bet is at some point during the game, he will try to defend Terry and say schools are moving off coaches too quickly or some nonsense.
  24. Gasparino is 1 walk away from matching his total from all of last season. Slugging % is up 130 points and OBP is up 64 points despite his average being a tick lower than it was last year.
  25. Yeah, I don't expect us to roll through the rest of non-conference play without a hiccup or two, especially if we are holding back guys like Flores and Rerick for potential weekend roles. UTRGV (they are actually good this year), Texas State (x2), UTSA and Lamar are the toughest midweek games we have on the schedule and all happen to be during SEC play.
