  1. And make sure you read all the bricks surrounding the Tony Gwynn statue. Bring Kleenex.
  2. I think RPI sucks and has demonstrated biases, but I'd be happier if they seeded the whole tournament using nothing but RPI, rather than claiming that they don't rely on it that much. NCAA hockey tournament goes straight off their computer rankings, and their selection process almost never has any controversy.
  3. I think Oracle is the most overrated sports stadium I've ever been to. The setting is beautiful, but the wind suuuuuucks and I thought the sight lines were terrible from the upper and lower decks. Upper deck is so steep that you feel like you're a mile away. Lower deck slope is not steep enough and it's hard to see around the people in front of you. My rankings would be: 1. Fenway 2. Coors 3. San Diego 4. Seattle 5. Wrigley 6-10: Dodgers, Minnesota, Texas, KC, and Houston in some order. Have not been to PNC, and if we were doing this for all parks, old Tiger Stadium would be a runaway #1.
  4. Geraldo Perdomo has a 144 OPS+ with 33 BB and only 25 K. Who saw that coming?
  5. I started to make a joke about this, but then I made the mistake of actually thinking about it and now my brain feels all broken. Can anyone tell me how it makes any sense at all for the Rockies to sign Orlando Arcia?
  6. And 15th in attendance IIRC.
  7. When you see it...
  8. My daughter took her first trip to the CWS with me that season, and she was a huge fan of their CF Ollie Linton, who just caught absolutely everything that didn't go over the wall. He was a teammate of Goldschmidt in the minors, and when I mentioned that she was a big fan to Paul, Ollie sent my daughter an autographed ball.
  9. Disch-Falk wouldn't have played or felt like a home series either the way Irvine's pitching and defense dominated.
  10. And somehow, they managed to NOT hire Brian O'Connor last summer, when they had all of this future major league talent returning, but NOW he's the guy and he's ready and anxious to become an agroid!
  11. This guy is getting the rollercoaster going:
  12. HCU: https://hcuhuskies.com/sports/baseball/stats/2025
  13. Breaking News: Texas A&M has accepted a bid to the baseball NIT. The Aggies, defending almost-national champions, have been named the #1 seed in the field and will host SMU in a 3-game series at Olsen Field Friday-Monday.
  14. Seems odd that UALR doesn't get sent to Fayetteville...
  15. Some people have to be angry about something.
  16. That means bad news for Houston Christian!
  17. Nebraska-OU in UNC -- someone has a sense of humor.
  18. If it goes chalk, our side of the bracket in Omaha would be UT, Arky, LSU, UGa...
