  1. Yuki has shown the ability to be in the conversation for the second Red Bull seat, and doing stuff like that isn’t going to help his cause. Him thinking that he should have been given the position back after he screwed over Daniel is dumb.

    The fact you think time on a message board is the determining factor says quite a lot.  The fact you freely and openly admitted it says even more.

    But hey, it's a free country and this is just a message board, think what you want.

     

     

    Man, you’re confused. No one is discounting what you know or don’t know about the game. Giving your opinion is great! Calling out everyone that disagrees with you that they know nothing and are stupid is the last thing anyone should do. Just disagree and move along.

    retooling season where we’ll still be competitive that should set us up nicely to lay our cocks on the SEC

    Plus NIL will be better with the transition to the sec. LSU’s NIL as a whole is average at best. Baseball got really lucky with one donor being the founder of Marucci. Without him they’re not getting Holman this year or #7 ring last year.

    If you think this team isn’t extremely talented I don’t know what you’re watching or reading. Flores, JT, Gaspo, Borba, Dee, etc were all pretty big prospects 

    Some are getting thrusted into action quicker because 2 of our best transfer aren’t playing this season. It sucks that they’re young but the talent is visible.

    I’ve been resistant but yeah I’m so done with this shit

    Same. Should do both where if it’s bad then they quickly turn to a 3 second review for a more accurate call. I believe it’s in the minors?

    Pierce is throwing the game away so we dont burn all our arms and lose the next two games chasing this one. If Witt gets it done, he gets it done, if not, we lose and try to win the next 2 games.  

    4th inning and a tied is waiving the white flag?

    Thanks for the info, chief.

    Bullpen for 5-6 innings vs. bullpen for 2-3 innings.  Not at all the same.

     

    Sure. But we could also have 2-3 guys out of the pen tonight as well if one is able to get deep. Situation is fluid and not the end of world for our pen. 

  8. Easily one of the best sci-fi films I’ve ever seen and potentially a generational type film imo. Every scene hit. How Villeneuve was able to tackle complex issues such as politics and religion, and then execute it to the level he did was a master class. The cinematography was excellent but specifically in the third act he took it to another level. I’ll be seeing this at a minimum 3 times in the theater and I highly recommend seeing it in imax if possible.

  9. The Duke transfer stepping away from the game is saving O’Dowd right now. Storm would be at 1st right now and O’Dowd would only see time as DH but even then he’s low on the pecking order. 

    Edit: it would have been nice to see Sanders get some run at 1st last night. 

  10. Good example of Will getting short to the ball. He’ll hopefully get there more consistently as the season progresses. 100% team let him sit in the 9 hole and figure it out.

    DTS is what got me into the sport. I now have zero desire to watch it. Seemed like the first one was great for introducing the names, teams, and the sport overall. The next ones were good for showing some behind the scenes stuff. Last season just felt like a recap of the year.

    Can't imagine there will be much that's interesting to see from the 2023 season given it was a blowout.

    Same. Was the reason I got into F1 and now I couldn’t care less about it. I just like the meta memes that we may get out of it. 

  12. I started select ball around 10 and I had a blast the entire time. Going to the slump buster in Omaha then turning around watching the CWS  at Rosenblatt is one of the highlights of my life. Weekends doing nothing but playing baseball and staying in hotels if it was far enough (we were the little shits playing tag up and down the place hotel) was peak for me in the summers. Once I got into high school some of the friends I played with or against throughout the years didn’t love it enough anymore which was sad to see because they were usually only there because of the parents forcing them. A lot of us were multi-sport athletes so during fall ball it was football all week, then film on Saturday and a double header on Sunday. They were good players too but it was obvious burn out had set in and it was taking the joy out of other sports they played. Select ball is fun but there is a stopping point for some and watching parents live through their kids is a miserable scene.

    Our portal game will get better too with the SEC move too. I know for a fact we’ve lost out on a few kids who were interested in coming here but wanted to play in the SEC.

    Very true. Although I don’t fully agree with their sentiment. Good baseball across the entire country.

    Problem is we can get to Omaha on good coaching and teams getting better, but we probably can’t win it with big roster holes like we seem to have often under DP.

    At some point though he’s gonna get the right combo of roster and health (which if the Witt injury doesn’t happen that team was pretty stacked) and get it done. 

    Yeah there’s nothing I don’t disagree with here but most programs with the expectations that we do have good coaches but fall short on arrival. Texas isn’t the only one. I think the ‘20 roster was very complete with the pitching staff that would have been one of the elites in the past decade. Then in ‘21 we were pretty stout but blew our wad in game 1 against the eventual champs (winner of the elimination game to face vandy in the finals was the actual CWS champ imo). Hopefully as our NIL gets stronger we’ll see more Gasparino’s come our way with better luck in the injury department.
