Please tell me we are pinch hitting for Dee

They have 4 runs on 5 hits. 3 of which came in the 2nd on a 3 run bomb off Selvig.

That kinda night

Bringing Hurley in was more of a message to the team to wake the fuck up. I would be shocked if he pitches long at all.

Go ahead and cross Luke off the list, move on to the next.

Cole is going to learn real quick that straight line fastball ain’t blowing by anybody in a 3-2 count.

Hoping we see Lummus, Shaw, and Harrison tonight.

What’s odd is it’s the opposite, Nebraska is sitting 10th in the RPI and Kansas State is sitting 20th. This game would benefit both of them

Kansas State and Nebraska cancelled their game tonight with not a drop of rain in sight. Have to make sure every arm is fresh and ready for the big bad empire this weekend.

Yeah I figured so. It’s nice to have the BYU series right after, get both out of the way back to back. Then don’t have to worry about it again until Kansas at the end of the year.

Curious to see how Pierce handles Thursday assuming he doesn’t move the rotation up a day

Here is to hoping the 2024 team continues to get better because this group still has a pretty high ceiling.

Michigan is east of the Mississippi, didn’t feel like going on a tangent explaining where every state sat geographically because I figure you knew. He hasn’t been west of the Mississippi since 1999. ECU, Clemson, Vanderbilt, Maryland, Michigan, back to Clemson. I hope that suits your fancy and is a more accurate description of where he has coached It wasn’t a straight line comparison, you are hanging your hat on a guy that took 14 years to get his program off the ground while back handing someone who took an SEC doormat and turned them around in 2 seasons. That tells me all I need to know about your assessment of what we are talking about. Bakich played for a title once, Walter almost played for a title once. Sign me up. Hell let’s just go get Gary Gilmore.

Look, I usually don’t argue this stuff anymore because we are dealing in hypotheticals. Walter didn’t play for a title, that is factually incorrect. Not to mention it took him 14 years at Wake to get to Omaha. Y’all would have had his head on a stake. Whether or not you believe Bakich is better is opinion, and if you feel that way that’s your prerogative like I said above. The fact that he spent 10 years in a conference that doesn’t give a shit about baseball and couldn’t win it, doesn’t exactly inspire confidence, but I do think he is a good manager. I also think he is where he wants to be and there is something to be said about being in a situation where you are comfortable. He has spent his entire career on the east coast. But to answer your question yes, my answer is no. For starters, even if you wanted Bakich you would have to be willing to offer a number that one, Texas wouldn’t pay and two, that he hasn’t accomplished enough to command. If you are going to money whip youth, you get Vitello, if not, you are just starting over to start over and give yourself some false sense of being closer to a national title because you have something fresh.

Florida State was up 8-1 heading to the bottom of the 9th yesterday and gave up 8 to lose 9-8. Today they were up 11-2 heading to the bottom of the 6th and lost 14-12. From winning the series to getting swept. Baseball will always humble you no matter how good you think you are.

Kansas State will be tough on the road, believe they just got Neighbors back who had been out with injury but they lack starting pitching. Just keep winning series.

I like that Andre is sitting 88-89, he’s quit trying to overthrow his fastball

That was a hell of a response by Max. Have to have that mentality even when things aren’t going your way. Attack, attack, attack

Defense doing everything in their power to not let Max get out of this

“Just by a diving O’Dowd”

My goodness Max… Sheesh

It feels like double plays like that have eluded this team a lot this year

Ball is absolutely flying out of the park today, as expected

Head to ESPN, go to the ncaa baseball scores tab, and hit watch on the Texas/Baylor game

Game is now on LHN
