  1. Someone said CDC was holding the Miller departure against Pierce. Was the health talk all bs?
  2. In theory, we can just steal the portal work the future coach has been doing for their current school. At this point it’s worth waiting a week longer to make Schloss day no and then hire Wes Johnson and bring over his elite portal class
  3. The “baseball is king at UT” mindset is so far removed from how the AD has treated the program for a long time now. That said, we’re obviously not hiring an assistant for the baseball job
  4. He’s absolutely been Herman stupid. Brought a JV coaching staff with him that turned into a revolving door of assistants. Hasn’t brought in a talented crop of pitchers in 4 years
  5. Quite the Friday night in here. Shut the laptop and have a beer, my God
  6. Wonder if Clemson are telling Bakich he won’t have to change schools to coach in the SEC. Hope we make them double his salary at least The Vitello wishcasting was always just that. He was going to change schools just to see some more cool pictures in the hallways of his facilities? The guy has it made already It’s going to look shitty when we wasted the first few weeks of the portal to land a Wes Johnson, Rob Vaughn, or Canham type, but all are certainly upgrades.
  7. https://calsummerball.com/teams/santa-barbara-foresters-111233/ Link to follow stats for guys out in Santa Barbara. Dee has been an every day guy. Mostly SS, though CF today. I assume more guy arriving throughout the month will eat into his time at premium positions. Looks like tonight is Sanders’ first game catching and Hamilton is getting his first start.
  8. Never better. And luckily Pierce has shown he can plug in 5 quality bats, find a Friday guy, and overhaul a bullpen in a single offseason
  9. Postpone that press conference
  10. Ages, for reference and draft context: LBJ (c/o 2020), JT and Flores (c/o 2022) are all 21-ish. Gage is nearly 23. Dre will turn 24 before draft day. Unless we throw Gage's brother a spot to get Gage for another year, I'd be surprised if any are back
  11. Their AD getting a huge head from taking Calipari off UKs hands and driving their only only successful program into the dirt would be fun
  12. Is this a major problem? We hover around 5th-7th best fan base in the SEC. Facilities are likely in line with that. Austin is an easy travel destination. More cheap GA seats added will only serve to erode home field advantage at this point. The home slate (and home performance) was pretty bad this year, but the crowds were extremely tame and half the park sold their Atm seat.
  13. Assumed Branch didn’t want to play for Rodriguez
  14. We went to Omaha back to back years and got TCUs 4th outfielder and a turmoil-filled USCs C and Sunday arm. I don’t understand how there’s possibly an argument that being in the SEC won’t significantly improve our standing with transfers. And our standing with potential Pierce replacements.
  15. Elite players - hs and transfers - don’t want to showcase their talent in Lawrence and Cincinnati
  16. There just isn’t a slam dunk. O’Connor is 1-4 in Omaha since the ‘15 title. Are Bakich or Canham proven enough? I’m operating under the assumption that Jarrett or an SEC name would be lost causes. After that you’re looking at Duke? NC Sts coach is 70. That said, keeping Pierce for a few more years doesn’t change that picture at all. There’s never going to be a slam dunk that a school won’t fight tooth and nail for.
  17. I was questioning bad luck as the culprit of the quantity of severe arm injuries
  18. The offensive plan was solid. Impossible to expect PB to fall off, maybe you could say they should’ve added someone more productive than Cummings. The plan to showcase JT at CF likely caused issues pitching playing time Pitching is obviously the issue. Minimal high school adds over 3 year. Chips all in on LBJ and Witt. Caught off-guard by Gordon signing. Reliever injuries galore. Bad luck injury bug or Pierce issue?
  19. Still a lot of wasted pitches, but it felt like the mindset that he didn’t need to go 8 innings helped a lot. 5 from him and 4 from Gage was absolute perfection. Curious if Gage has a decision to make this summer
  20. Eyes turn to Clemson and Charlottesville
  21. Asking Lummus to get 4 outs in a situation that was already way above his pay grade. The pitching plan played out better than anyone could’ve imagined and the defense fucked it.
