  1. So does Earley get the special assistant title when he is hired here or does he prefer a different title?
  2. Can’t wait for the part of the championship documentary when they show Galvan flipping over tables during this rain delay
  3. Wind blowing straight in again from CF. Not ideal conditions to try to snap out of an offensive funk.
  4. O/U 2.5 HBP by Harrison today
  5. I would normally agree with another short week and Thursday start at OU next week, he is probably done for the weekend. Plus he was apparently pitching through the Flu.
  6. I guess we have no choice but to give him a pass because of the lack of options we have but my fear is we have run Ruger into the ground asking him to do so many different things this year. If you start jerking around Volantis in different roles and asking him to be Superman you risk the same thing with him. Tricky situation but also shouldn’t overshadow the fact we have scored 3 or fewer runs in 5 of our last 7 SEC games.
  7. Can we get Jalin Flores from the Pierce era?
  8. Stewart was going to pinch hit for Rodriguez that inning. I fear Rodriguez re-aggravated the hand.
  9. Don’t see many Tommy Farmer types in SEC lineups outside of Missouri. Opposing hitters have looked way too comfortable the last 2 weeks.
  10. Flores and Gasparino are the two worst players on the team right now and that is a huge problem.
  11. Missouri going 0-30 is going to overshadow the fact that a South Carolina team that went to a regional last year and fired their coach is about to go 5-25.
  12. I was looking through Houston's roster earlier with the thought that Whitting is going to be fired in a couple of weeks, and maybe there are some guys who could be of interest in the portal, and man, that program is in a sad state. No underclassmen worth a damn and hitting .260 as a team. Not sure why Clay Van Hook left a head coaching job at UTA to be an assistant on that sinking ship.
  13. Is this referring to….Sydir Mitchell? (Could also just use this post as a placeholder when he is back in the portal in 7 months)
  14. Director of College Scouting for D1baseball had some draft notes and thoughts on some of our guys from the Arkansas series:
  15. Feels like the same thing happens in basketball every year too where a regular season win over a middle of the pack conference opponent in late February feels so much bigger than a victory against a similar opponent in the Bahamas in November. I guess human nature is to see games in May as more important than games in March, but they count the same in the standings.
  16. Mark Etheridge of D1Baseball.com laid out what SEC teams in the hosting mix need to do to secure a top 8 or top 16
  17. Wasn't the UConn game also the front end of a home-and-home? So we will get Duke and UConn on the schedule this upcoming year. Nice.
  18. I don't have the time to go back and look, but my guess is the number of pitchers who have made it through 6 complete innings against us this year can be counted on one hand. Over the course of a series, that is always going to greatly increase your chances of winning when the opposing team has to dip deeper and deeper into the bullpen. Of course, when you run into Zach Root or Kade Anderson that strategy isn't as effective, but don't think this staff is stupid enough to think it does. Schloss made a comment after the Thursday Arkansas game that they had a plan to be more aggressive against Root early in the count but he was just so good that there wasn't much they could do. There is a fine line between being selective and being passive, and I think some of these guys are still trying to find that balance. For a team that leads the country in pitches per plate appearance, we are actually in the middle of the pack in terms of walks drawn in the SEC.
  19. Sometimes I have to remind myself that this is the least talented pitching staff Weiner and Schloss will have, and we are still performing as a top 10 staff in the country. They have Cody Howard throwing at an acceptable level and are getting outs from Ethan Walker throwing 84 MPH from a funky arm slot.
  20. Borba is going to my guy in 2026. The patience and plate discipline is there. Just have to get him swinging more. He is a guy who could easily hit 12 bombs with an OBP over .400 for an entire season.
  21. Jonah is like slowing his bat down to make contact. It looks really odd.
  22. I have never not seen Howard miss low and glove side
