  1. Pierce and Nolan Cain were both mentioned as candidates for the Rice job (opened yesterday) by Kendall Rodgers. Rodgers said he would consider Pierce the frontrunner. He said Cain would check a lot of boxes as a recruiter but also mentioned that Cain is probably in line for better head coaching jobs than Rice if he waits around.
  2. First pitch moved up to 4 PM today
  3. I’m just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride. I think we all know the likely outcome but if for some reason the unthinkable happens and this team goes in a mini-roll, I’m fairly confident the entire body of work will be evaluated a la David Pierce. I don’t think CDC is in the business of making knee jerk decisions off tournament performance again. But we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it and these players deserve to play next week. Effort has never been an issue with this group.
  4. Sean Miller and Xavier just got Shaka'd. Xavier was barely on the right side of the bubble.
  5. Imagine if we moved Mark to PG a month ago
  6. My guess is we are playing 1 tomorrow and 2 on Sunday.
  7. North Carolina shouldn't be within 500 miles of the tournament. If their jerseys said Boston College, they wouldn't even be considered for the field. Has a team with one Q1 win ever received an at-large bid?
  8. There are a million valid arguments to firing Terry and this one might be dead last. Yes, if you took away the best player on every mediocre SEC team they would be significantly worse. More at 6.
  9. Goodman is Beard's mouthpiece (and I'm sure the mouthpiece for other coaches too).
  10. Wasn't Bilas one of the ones pushing for Terry to be hired originally back in 2023? My bet is at some point during the game, he will try to defend Terry and say schools are moving off coaches too quickly or some nonsense.
  11. Gasparino is 1 walk away from matching his total from all of last season. Slugging % is up 130 points and OBP is up 64 points despite his average being a tick lower than it was last year.
  12. Yeah, I don't expect us to roll through the rest of non-conference play without a hiccup or two, especially if we are holding back guys like Flores and Rerick for potential weekend roles. UTRGV (they are actually good this year), Texas State (x2), UTSA and Lamar are the toughest midweek games we have on the schedule and all happen to be during SEC play.
  13. So I think at this point it's safe to assume 16 SEC wins is going to get you a hosting spot. The path to 16 as I see it right now: Need to sweep (3): at Missouri Need to find 5 wins in these home series: (5): Georgia, A&M, Auburn Need to find 5 wins in these road series (5): at OU, at Miss State, at Kentucky Don't get swept (3): at Arkansas, LSU, Florida
  14. Burns gonna get the 9th?
  15. First sac bunt coming up?
  16. Rodriguez is borderline unplayable as a righty so far this year
  17. Swung at ball 4.
  18. Lead off walks score about 850% of the time in college baseball
  19. Service is the third string catcher and of course both his AB’s tonight are with guys in scoring position. If Pierce pulled something like that he would have rightfully been roasted even in a midweek game. Service is a good locker room but this ain’t a charity.
  20. I would have seriously considered pinch hitting there.
  21. Not even close to a strike
  22. Weather this weekend in Starkville is dicey, so I think holding back Flores is about having to potentially cover 18 innings in a day this weekend if a doubleheader is scheduled.
  23. In Caden Noah's last outing, he struck out 7 guys in 2 innings thanks to 3 wild pitches.
  24. There is a screenshot floating around from Trilly Donovan's Discord (still not sure if this dude is to be trusted or not but he seems to be more right than wrong) that KD is really trying to push for Royal Ivey. Wasn't there a conversation on here a month or two back about a lot of former players being in his corner and saying they are willing to provide $upport if he is hired?
  25. 11 of the 16 SEC teams have SOS rankings outside of the top 100. LSU is outside the top 250. I think these coaches know they have to schedule stat padding weekends because 10 straight weekends of hell are starting up in mid-March.
