  1. Yep. Really, really dumb strategy. You don't go to a freshman who has no championship experience and has been up and down all year.
  2. Again. WTF is White thinking here?!
  3. Why is Salmon in this high leverage of a situation? Fuck
  4. It’s the same thing in baseball too. Check the out total in that picture.
  5. Lol, yep. Fair enough...
  6. That's an interesting way to describe a major league baseball player who just become the first Tiger to hit three homers in a game since 2016 haha. For the uninitiated, she's married to Detroit RF, Kerry Carpenter:
  7. Even baseball? I thought there was going to be a large increase, but not a full 34 (or whatever the proposed new roster limit would be). Actually, I found the answer. Proposal is just to 25, which is still a huge increase. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/2025/02/27/texas-announces-plan-to-add-200-scholarships-after-ncaa-settlement/80584799007/ That proposal should make both men's and women's T&F insanely competitive, henceforth
  8. I don't know how the rule is adjudicated in that scenario, but I am assuming not. The out was made, so interference doesn't matter. But that's not what happened, so the sequence of events and how to apply the rule is probably different. In football, a coach either gets to tack on a penalty to a catch even if there's DPI, or gets to decline a penalty, so maybe it's something similar to the latter (you can decline it/not call it). While I watch Texas softball, I'm not intimately familiar with the rule book like I am college baseball. What I've learned tonight is that @bschoolprof should probably be a college softball umpire - and a pretty damn good one, at that haha. Maybe he'll weigh in on this one too.
  9. So it wouldn't have matter then, right? The batter was already out and the runner returned to the base already.
  10. Agreed, but the series ain’t over yet. They still might win.
  11. That’s not the rule. Batter interference calls the runner out. Umpire interference just sends the runner back. I just don’t see how you can call both, because the steal attempt doesn’t actually occur if umpire interference is first. But that’s just my logic, not me reading a rule book.
  12. Can’t it not be the called to end the game because the runner didn’t actually end up attempting a steal because they called umpire interference, negating the throw? Logically, batter interference shouldn’t apply there then, right? I agree it was batter interference, but it seems like it doesn’t apply once they negate the steal attempt due to umpire interference.
  13. https://www.on3.com/news/uscs-nil-power-no-1-recruiting-class-signal-lincoln-rileys-program-is-turning-corner-we-were-very-behind/ "We were very behind" “This is not one of those things where it’s a bunch of hollow promises, and things aren’t being followed through. It’s important to this university right now.” Interesting that USC admits they were very behind, but more interesting that maybe their current class isn't built on "hollow promises." As the proverb goes, "we'll see."
  14. Are you talking about summer semesters? Otherwise, there's no reason not to just push the portal dates back some and have it close before school starts again in August/September (depending on the school). As it stands, the current model only really helps some guys take a few credits during a summer session. Portals opening before the culmination of any sport season is just a stupid idea for many reasons.
  15. Becker and Ford were UVA's top-two players statistically on offense: Becker played SS this season, yet appeared at 3B some in 2024 and can play all infield positions sans 1B. UVA doesn't have the breakdown up for 2025 yet, but below is 2024's. 2024: Appeared in 45 games and made 39 starts (26 at third base and 13 at shortstop) Ford played multiple positions in the OF this season.
  16. I'm assuming this was the aforementioned "fan favorite" that was set to transfer. If so, we called it. Ah, I see @BurntOrange&White covered this already.

  18. Uh, yes please. At least the offensive numbers.
  19. I’ll have to find it. There was a scouting conversation with D1. Granted, this was prior to his shitty stretch to end the season. Edit: I misremembered. It was 6-8. I updated the OP. Here’s the full text:
  20. Alright. Spencer and Belyeu will be picked in the first two rounds. Ruger was mentioned recently as round 6-8 guy. We lose Kimble. What about Galvan? Does Flores come back, or does his AA season in 2024 do enough to preserve a nice bonus? Who’s the transfer OTF was referring to; Gasparino, Whitehead? We have some nice young talent, but we’re going to potentially need to hit the portal hard for starting pitchers, a C, a SS, and an outfielder. Also, will we see a staff shakeup at hitting coach? Let all the speculation begin.
  21. Yep. He was projected as the 8th draft prospect prior to his injury.
  22. Pretty cool to homer in your final AB in college and at your home stadium.
  23. Rubbed too many out in between games, I guess.
  24. Hopefully. Just a need a nice little bolus of 0.9 NaCl.
  25. Still going to be really hot outside (91 at game start) and even hotter on the field. But yes, they certainly can win.
