  1. Yep, thats twice in a row where we've had a guy on second with no outs and he has taken the ball to the right side moving runner to third.
  2. Kimble has been very good at 1st and keeps showing improvement as the season progresses. Yea he screwed the pooch on the one in between his legs but that happens every once in a while, especially in college ball. Do you know baseball? - not all bounced throws are the same. That was one of those in betweeners that is very difficult to field.
  3. The most recent SEC Commissioners Manual from Sept 2024 still had the no Friday doubleheader rule. Maybe they changed it somewhere since then. It would seem logical to allow Friday doubleheaders so I don't understand that rule. The two 7 inning games on Sunday rule also doesn't seem to make sense unless the visiting team departure precludes two 9 inning games to be completed.
  4. I don't think you're assumption is correct. Under SEC rules, a Friday doubleheader is NOT ALLOWED unless there is at least an 80% chance of rain on both Saturday and Sunday (Sunday forecast is for no rain). Why do you think they don't want to play us? These "redneck dolts" have the best stadium and game atmosphere in college baseball. There will be 14-15,000 fans and I seriously doubt they are looking for ways not to play us. The SEC is a different animal than the Big12. At least 8, if not 9, of our weekend series will require us to play very well to win them.
  5. Ha dude. Are you OK? You were the one cursing about O'Dowd and saying "now we are subjected to more of him". It seems strange that one of the many alums attending could trigger you so much. If it does, you could just skip this Saturday.
  6. Clearly it must be the current coaches, ex-players and/or current players involved in which ex-players are invited -- but would assume the current coaches would have to have the final say on who participates. If you don't like who is attending, why don't you just stay the hell away on Feb 1.
  7. The Vegas games will be streamed through D1 Baseball. You need to be a subscriber to watch, but I think you can do a month to month subscription and then cancel after a month if you don't want it after that. I think its $35 for first month including streaming.
  8. There are 44, so they still have 4 to cut to get down to 40 before first game.
  9. For the 2025 Spring season, the roster limit remains at 40. Starting in the 2026 season its 34 (used to be 35 pre-covid) and, as with all sports, all roster spots are allowed to be on full scholarship. However, its up to each conference to set their scholarship limit and it looks like everyone will end up being under 34 for baseball. Talk about the SEC, which will likely allow for the most baseball scholarships, is that they will initially limit it to around 25 full baseball scholarships for 2026. But, unlike today, the teams will now be able to split that number however they wish among the players. A key issue still to be determined for 2026 is when the teams must have the roster down to 34. Some are arguing to have it at 34 before any Fall 2025 practice begins and others want there to be a higher Fall limit and allow the coaches to cut down to 34 sometime during or after Fall 2025 practice.
  10. Pitching will surprise many on the upside. It will be a competitive staff in the SEC.
  11. Schuessler hit .343 and 1020 OPS with 10HR and some clutch hitting last year after having to sit out a full year with injury. Bet he will be better this year. Will be interesting to see what happens with 1B and DH this year. He is also pretty universally considered by the players as the hardest worker on the team.
  12. I think latest is actually 45 players, so if no more adds and noone leaves or gets injured this Fall (although every team seems to end up with injuries), would need to cut 5.
  13. plus Riojas RHP and Werchan OF
  14. RHP grad transfer from Penn, Eli Trop, was drafted in the 16th round by the Phillies
