  1. https://medium.com/@tieranbaseball/mlb-draft-top-500-prospects-fba9fe7fceaf Very in-depth on the top 100 prospects. Fun read on Ivan. Says Bolte is asking for $2.5MM. I never like having hope during draft week
  2. Pierce taking a catcher makes me think we’re out of it. Skenes certainly could want to focus on pitching only, but I would say his value drops way off if that’s the case. We beat him up in the regional, I suspect that would happen frequently in a power conference. He was all American as a utility guy, not exclusively as a pitcher
  3. DC being able to play 3rd is super helpful. A lot easier to fill an outfield spot. 2 mashers, one for first one for dh. And we need 2 SPs, 1 being a Friday guy
  4. Nice. BU always recruited above their weight class in CA and had a good top half of their order. Hopefully the pitching coach hire is at least this splashy
  5. Was waiting for this. Spiegelman doesn’t seem like a scoop merchant, but a low % crystal ball on a guy that’s never had more than “use them to beef up my commitment graphic” level interest in us seemed like a big leap
  6. Why are we canning guys without replacements lined up? There’s no reason to have staff openings for any longer than is legally required. Not that we’ve lost anyone earth shattering, but we’re still more susceptible to transfers out and only have Pierce working on transfers in
  7. Yeah I actually don’t even think that roster sizes shrink now that I’m looking it up. That’s just what the popular reasoning was at the time. And I didn’t really notice anyone else missing in the dugout last week
  8. Roster limits shrink for Omaha. He didn’t choose not to go
  9. True. Pretty close to a Flood or Jerrance Howard
  10. It would be shocking if we could pull him. Tennessee is all in on baseball right now, can’t see them being out bid. And their staff is far and away the best in the country while he’d be building from almost nothing here.
  11. There’s a big difference between finding the perfect missing piece to round out an order and needing to find 5 of those. And trying to replace Quintanilla with under recruited juco guys instead of elite transfers last offseason was a failure
  12. Wake the fuck up, Pierce. Johnson got all his assistants poached and he’s still pulling elite transfers
  13. Merry Archmas to all
  14. CDC needs to tell our major coaches to retire the “…will not be entrusted to the weak nor timid” until they can go one rivalry game without filling their diapers
  15. Pierce is one miraculous Witt outing from being 0-6 in Omaha. This team should be remembered for so much, but will be rightfully reduced to the gutless finish. At least 2018 can be justified by the stacked path we had in Omaha
  16. If you don’t get an answer, shoot for 117 for home games, 107 for away games. That’s about what I remember from last year
  17. My GA season tix aren’t good enough to get my ticket request filled. Anyone got a section number for me so I can buy nearby?
  18. Nixon should’ve been shut down for the year a month ago and Pierce keeps letting him go and and destroy himself further
  19. Completely inexcusable not to go to Kennedy there
  20. So many fucking losers in this thread
  21. I’ve got 2 extra for Friday
  22. The more I think about it, the more it has to be Pete. Gordon was excellent in Arlington, but he had double digit fly outs with no wind and an oceanic outfield. Drop that game in Austin and Okie Lite has a couple HRs and that game could look a lot different. Anything Pierce can do to keep us out of the losers bracket with our staff has to be done and you go from there
  23. Their whole body of work isn’t a great indicator for just game 1 against them. They’ve won 10 straight with Skenes on the mound. They might not be able to hang double digit runs on Gordon/Hansen, but we also won’t be hanging double digits on one of the best pitchers in the country
