Jones of this year on last year's team would have been devastating because teams would have to pitch to him more. What we lack this year is protection for Jones. He does well as Tommys protection but if no one is on teams just pitch around him and he's picked up a ton of walks. No one is behind him ...
[quote]We need to bash our way into Monday.[/quote] FIFY Our hitting has been streaky as hell this year, even within a game. Frequently we'll start off hot and put up a bunch of runs early and then not even be competitive through the rest of the game, or we'll struggle all game and then go on...
Jones is about the only guy I'd say to try to hammer one. Park is keeping em in unless they're blasted. He could do it though. Past that just need to look to gap it....
The one last week was the worst call I had seen to date. This one is probably worse only by the fact that they actually could review their frickup and rectify it. Instead they decided to double down on the stupidity and CONFIRM it. I hope it ends up not matterig in the end but that ump crew needs to ...
[quote]I want to go to an ECU game[/quote] Baseball doesn't seem to be as big into home and homes as football, and especially with the sec expansion it'll never happen, but for discussion's sake a home and home series with ecu would be cool....
Not sure who to pull for between Wofford-LIU. I could be convinced either way, though in the end I don't know that it really matters. Vandy struuuugling here. I've always been a (minor) ECU fan, so it's easy for me to pull for them over Wake even if you throw out last year....

He's not likely to be the first out of the pen being that we also would likely need him in G3, but if really needed, no doubt he can absolutely pitch....

[quote]If you had told me before the season that Tanks and Bear would be our two best defenders and Milam would be one of our biggest power hitters by the end of the season, I don't know that I would have believed you.[/quote] And to top it off, two post season walk off homers in a week. Dude is ...

[quote]Yeah that looked fair[/quote] It started fair but was tailing foul and was very close to the line one way or another. Really really hard to tell. Without a shot down the line there's really no way to determine for sure. Just have to go with the guy who was looking straight down the line...
I didn't understand it, didn't agree with it and wasn't the call I would have made. Even before the game I trusted Jay's decision, though....
I saw promise. I think the pitching staff is really starting to come around, but I still worry that it's a bit too late. Jump and Holman were excellent and give me great confidence in 2 games worth of starting pitching, but we knew that before the tournament. They only pitched in 2 of the games a...

re: Tommy White's new walk up song?

Posted by LSshoe on 5/27/24 at 7:57 pm
Excellent song, love me some Bob Marley, but I gotta say I kinda liked his previous song. I'm not a fan of Rhianna, but his walk up song was pretty boss....

Savoie's or Richards are fine, but far from exceptional. They're easy to find in these parts and its what I'll use if I can't find anything better. I don't know if tasso is a thing outside of south LA but you could put some of that in your red beans to boost the flavor if you can find it....

Still in this...
Hell I would be OK going to ruston or laffy. Would be way better than going to the west coast. Obviously I'd prefer to host bit that's a very slim chance...
Gonna be interesting trying to put together 18 more outs, but this really is just what we need because we're gonna need some guys to step up and nows a better time to figure it out than next weekend. Not sure how travel restrictions work for the sec tourney. Who's left that hasn't pitched and did an...
He would definitely have been a bench player last year but I would think he would have gotten opportunities on this team....

re: So, do we host if we win the SECT?

Posted by LSshoe on 5/21/24 at 5:02 pm
If we dominate our way through the tourney, it is possible, if not edging towards likely. The chances of not only winning the tourney but doing so in dominant fashion throughout is not very likely, though. I'd settle for getting a 2 seed in an easy bracket...

[quote]Yes Hollman. He is gonna have the same amount of rest Jump had. Jump dominated. So can Hollman on 4 days.[/quote] While this is a fair point, we needed a pitcher to dominate today as we needed the win today. We're now in double-elimination land, which means he can still be "guaranteed" a ...
