  1. the really great news is we have options now. Borba, deservedly so, is going to get his shot at third. if he is a defensive liability, my guess is the Freeman kid can probably move there and Borba can DH. The Livingston kid has even played some 3rd. If Temo locks down SS from a fielding perspective everything becomes pretty simple. We don't have to depend on seeing if a frosh can play 3rd and hit in the SEC. If Temo is a real problem in the field, which I don't expect at all, then we may have some issues.
  2. yep. we've got 4 guys from "mid majors" and you never know how they might adjust to more consistently better pitching. Borba is somewhat of a known commodity against P4 pitching and performed pretty well late.
  3. Cantlay is in the wildcard group.
  4. the only problem I see is that you are telling guys to sit while you play, which mentally could weigh on you. that said, as you say, we are very meh down the order and if he is still playing well in August he should play. who are the assistants that could kind of be co-captain for him.
  5. nice call.
  6. be nice to have schloss and weiner finally fix our pitching woes. seems like we are always a step behind for the last decade.
  7. 7 years, that is probably the minimum you get unless you are a drunk or something. he had to have been fucking awful.
  8. they should rewind to the strike 3 call, Karl...
  9. of course it was. LSU fan thinks that is a strike.
  10. LF is not good.
  11. If CC wins today some ump crew is getting a sternly worded letter.
  12. complete umpshow, of course. the ump falling over was icing. uncoordinated fuckhead.
  13. we've had our Friday guy go down 2 years in a row. we make the CWS if he doesn't get injured. given a full season, If Volantis is our best pitcher he needs to be the Friday starter. you figure out relief roles later. I don't think Schloss didn't want to roll Volantis into a starting role after most of the season was gone. It was obvious he trusted only a very few pitchers on the staff. Schloss is building depth it appears.
  14. those were all good calls. This ump is pretty good. not getting caught up in the BS.
  15. "ricky" sounds like it might work.
  16. the bunt down the 3rd base line that they didn't execute was a killer.
  17. LSU fan is aggy like with the ball/strike booing. that pitch was a foot off the plate.
  18. It would be massive if coastal could steal this game late.
  19. really they just need to get rid of the elbow/forearm guard. a guard on the back of the hand or the lower leg isn't really a problem. also, if he doesn't have the guard it doesn't hit him because it is the extension of the guard that gets hit.
  20. oof a smooth 39 on the front....he's gonna have to shoot 30 on the back.
  21. do they sign scholarship papers still? I would guess(and this is only guess) the catch is, you sign a scholarship contract and also a separate NIL contract. if the scholarship contract allows the university to kick you off the team for grades, attendance, etc. and the NIL contract says you must be on the team and eligible to play to get paid, there is a safety net. but certainly someone could sue as you say because in America you can sue anyone for anything. I think the chance of them winning is pretty damn low though.
  22. even with the slight slip, he's got a bead on it, but when he dives his left knee digs into the ground and his whole body including left arm drop.
  23. Auriemma kept her off the Olympic team(I know he wasn't the head coach). UConn mafia is real. If Bueckers starts going off she won't be beat up like Clark. Liberty have Stewart so Ionescu is protected. Fever need to draft a UConn player for Clark protection.
  24. I don't believe that is new language. and you are correct. they decided that the half second she stepped in about 20% of the base path/leading edge, 5 feet from the base, to field the throw, without the ball, constituted obstruction.
  25. was it video reviewed by a remote location? I can't remember how the video review works. the call on the field was no obstruction. the whole "leading edge of the base" thing is stupid. they use that to try to make something definitive but then they stick in massive grey area anyway.
