Murray State, another reason why sometimes you have to take the #4 seriously.

The Way Too Early 2028 Democratic Presidential Candidate Thread
The fact that you think this about him does reflect well on Pete. He does seem to be skilled politically.

Getting five hits in one inning and only getting two runs is kind of impressive.

He did, in fact, bat .350 last year. Which is why I said he WAS batting .350 and not IS batting .350.

Yes. It was part of how we evened things out with the huge number of football scholarships. Looking at this list makes the puzzling decision to introduce women's rowing makes a lot of sense. Wish we had men's soccer.

The good news is LSU and Arkansas are first round opponents. So we are guaranteed one in the losers bracket right away.

Both are the problem. We could tolerate him being sub-par in the field so long as he was batting .350. But it is more than just making errors, he also consistently failed to make great plays. And doing things like letting a ground ball to the SS become a double by misplaying it. Not an error technically but...

Definitely a week ago. We have a great fielding middle infield and we are playing this weekend.

Two SEC teams in the CWS and we desperately need both to lose. Arkansas because they are evil and LSU because we don't want one of our chief rivals picking up a 8th national title. I hope the rest of the field is up to it.

At SS? I don't think so. Flores was not a good fielder. I think having a great fielding SS that hits in the low .200s is a fine sacrifice. Obviously I would prefer we find the next Seth Johnston, but a great glove up the middle is pretty essential.

No, in fact I think we can now do it in ways we couldn't before thanks to NIL. Some of those guys who would have gone to the draft might stay now if we can develop them. But likewise is does also mean we have a second option by getting guys from mids.

LOL 7-2 Beevs. So much for Florida States' big first inning.

Yeah no worries. Every week there is another disaster in this country.

2025 LA Civilian and National Guard Conflict
My understanding is these people were reporting for routine immigration appointments and were then detained. Their friends and family got upset and that led to the protests. That is not particularly sketchy or illogical. But there probably is more to it. For sure this probably plays into Trump's hands. He was pretty eager to call in the troops.

2025 LA Civilian and National Guard Conflict
Both things can be true are the same time. Thay what Trump is doing is wrong and that it is a game to Republicans and Democrats. But I have to say those two incidents are not comparable. And I kind of get the logic of "nothing matters, don't react to anything you are only playing into their hands" but I don't know. Soulless nihilism just isn't for me. I have values, I have eyes and I have ears and I am going to see things and make judgements. Maybe the smart thing is to have no values and disbelieve everything I see and instead sit around in a nihilistic fog. But I need a little more convincing that is a good idea. I will say this, it sure seems like this protest was exactly what Trump wanted to trigger just so he could do this. He remembers the summer of 2020. It's probably bad that these people fell for the trap. But the correct way to respond eludes me. Simply talking about the bad things Trump does doesn’t seem to produce good results either.

Huh? Granted I mostly follow the Volleyball and Softball teams but both of those teams have shittons of problems winning NCs (nothing mythical about them). It was never easy. The softball team finally won one after how many trips to the Regionals? How many years of heartbreak and frustration? I think it was a function of our pitching staff not being able to get it done. This whole it was hitting or psychology stuff doesn't hold water to me. The position players did enough to win that regional. The pitching just wasn't there.

Our program just lost a little bit of focusness.
