  1. Nope. Should be back. Belyeu, Gasparino, Borba, Galvan, Schuessler, Kennedy should all be back. We’ve returned much worse.
  2. Porter Brown had built up more goodwill than O'Dowd but I am quickly running out of hope. At least he is still walking at a respectable rate. I don't know what you can do at this point other than cross your fingers. It's game 42.
  3. Porter Brown back in at DH tonight. Galvan catching a midweek game which is a change.
  4. Gerry says OTF will be surprised if Tacario Davis (Arizona CB transfer) is not on campus soon
  5. Would he make Big Game Boomer's top 50 DB coaches list that you base your opinions on?
  6. I'd assume so. He will handle the in-game stuff. Not sure what the pitching will look like. I think Chris Gordon was calling the pitches after Pierce got tossed but he isn't allowed to make mound visits, etc since he isn't an on-field coach. Maybe they can get some type of waiver for him to do that tonight? I'm sure most of the game will be mapped out beforehand with Pierce around. This guy is first out of the pen, bring in this guy if you get in this situation, etc.
  7. Yeah, Blackshire would seem to be the obvious choice. Bolden is good enough to where he should have a featured role in the return game and be getting some offensive touches even with him enrolling in the summer and entering a somewhat crowded room. Would be a bummer to lose him.
  8. exPort= player entering the portal I guess the rePort is about a player who previously transferred into the program but may be re-entering the portal.
  9. IT "We’re still watching for exPorts with one potential “surprise” as a possibility." There's a strong chance this player will leave. We might find out today. We're also tracking a rePort aka a one-time imPort.
  10. So does Pierce go and hang with Occupy LF (technically outside the stadium) or just watch in his office while pacing back and forth hoping we don't hit 9 batters?
  11. Neutral site against Ohio State, UConn at home and that mini-tournament in Brooklyn already on the schedule? Get ready for a lot of Houston Christian matchups outside of that.
  12. The process used was questionable at best, and when you overturn a run scoring play in the 7th inning of a deciding game of a series for a team and coach trying not to drown, you better be prepared for tempers to flare. The ball never changed direction or speed as it went by Powell. Moreland claimed he thought it hit him “in the back of the right calf”, but you can’t even see that part of his body in the one grainy replay they showed. The second base umpire was staring directly at the play, did nothing, then overturned it and kept pointing to his ear like he was saying he could hear it hit him, which goes to the point of why wasn’t it called that way in real time then?
  13. As with most rules the NCAA has, it is extremely vague and it is rarely ever applied. The rule is you can’t continue to “excessively express yourself following an ejection”. That leaves it in the hands of the umpire to determine what “excessive” is. A head coach should be able to make his point as long as he doesn’t make contact with the umpire. How is what Pierce did excessive but what Jay Johnson did earlier this year not excessive?
  14. It’s definitely an imperfect formula. OU is being propped up by their wins away from home (sweep at TCU, neutral site wins against Tennessee and Nebraska), which the RPI formula loves. They have also swept 4 conference series which moves you up the RPI ranks quickly even if it is a home sweep. Most SEC schools have found a way to manipulate RPI by playing pillow soft out of conference schedules so everyone has a high RPI heading into conference play then you just beat up on each other and the losers don’t drop much. The general rule is you need to be in the 40’s in RPI or higher to get an at large and have an above .500 in conference play. You will see a few 14-16 conference records get in, mainly in the SEC or ACC. The year Ole Miss won it all they got in at 14-16.
  15. That would almost make no sense because those type of conversations would have happened before he decided to return.
  16. If the umpire deems you continued to argue too long after your ejection and didn’t leave the field quickly enough, they can tack on two games. Stupid rule.
  17. I would hope Bobby wouldn’t be referring to Broughton as a returning starter, because that would really be reaching.
  18. Brooks makes the most sense. Wasn’t it mentioned on here he was considering the portal at the end of the 2022 season and there was some disconnect between the staff and his dad?
