  1. I get your point, but fwiw, that LSU game was a 5 inning game on a Wednesday night.
  2. Yanks got a good pick with Jacob Lingren from Mississippi State. Guy is ridiculous. 6-1, 0.88, 51 innings, 98k, 0.80 whip
  3. Calipari just signed an extension. 7 years/52.5 million. :shock:
  4. Wonder if the Cubs' strategy of drafting college players will hold.
  5. He slugged .748. Pretty damn good. I recall Hunter Renfoe, who was drafted by the Padres in the first round last year, was walked 60 times in around 150 plate appearances and still had over 20 home runs his senior year of high school. Led the nation in homers I believe.
  6. Crazy power but only 5 HR in a high school season? Maybe he got walked every other AB.
  7. if you want a good future relief pitcher
  8. Yeah. Rodon scares me. I'm starting to think that any pitcher that played high school ball in America that was born after 1990 is at an 75 percent chance of having an arm blowout.
  9. Oh, and the Wolfpack had Rodon AND Trea Turner and didn't even make the tourney. Rest of the team must have sucked ass.
  10. Holy isht. I haven't read the whole thread so maybe this is common knowledge but that Conforto guy has an OBP of .506? Good lord.
  11. So he was in his FIFTIES when he was coaching the Cubs? How the F
  12. Ole Miss very well might be the better team but it's a short series and anything can happen. I mean, Fresno State won it all in 2008. Indeed. Judging by overall talent I don't think there can be any doubt that Ole Miss is the more talented team. I'd have to think that any SEC team has more talent than even the best Sun Belt team. But alas, it's baseball. Apparently this is the only Super Regional matchup where both teams were regional host teams. I really want to go down there for the weekend, but Ole Miss is only getting 400 tickets and the University doles those out according to priority donor points and all that. So I certainly won't be getting one of those.
  13. Unfortunately all 3 of the remaining National Seeds are on Ole Miss' side of the bracket. We're gonna take out ULL. Props to them for coming out of the losers bracket like that, but no team deserves to go to the College World Series if they lose a home game to freaking Jackson State University.
  14. They've got a decent offense (Trevor Mitsui is probably their hitter), play good defense and two really good starting pitchers. They sent their ace today against Georgia Tech so they'll probably have RHP Jake Brigham tomorrow. He's a good sinker ball/low 90s guy - a bit inconsistent at times but when he's on, he looks like a first rounder. They kind of have a feel of a good team across the board but nothing really stands out. No games were played today actually due to rain. Thanks for the info about them. Ahh, well... If they switch up their rotation for some reason, their ace is a mid-80s control guy. Great results, knows how to get guys out at this level. They are planning on throwing their Saturday starter (who is apparently their ace) against GA Tech. So I guess I'm glad we will miss him. I think this Rebel team is poised to make a run because they have two legitimate aces. Chris Ellis is at 9-1, 2.17 and southpaw Christian Trent is at 8-0, 2.44.

  16. Holy isht, #3 Florida just lost to College of Charleston. Wow. #5 Florida State also lost tonight. Beaten 7-0 by Georgia Southern.
  17. Certainly not me. They are a joke. They only have wins against two teams that are in the tourney, Alabama and LSU. Alabama isn't all that great this year (they got shutout by Kennesaw State today) and their victory over LSU was in a midweek game. The Ole Miss regional is in the same bracket as the ULL regional. There is a bit of drama brewing out of the bracket because Mississippi State has to play Jackson State tomorrow and should they win (hard to imagine JSU winning that game) then they'll be in a good position to win the ULL regional. Assuming that Ole Miss wins our regional, then there would be a Super Regional series in Oxford with Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State. This is a state that has a deadly serious rivalry between the two schools and a state that loves college baseball and is very involved with it. It's gonna be a madhouse if that happens. We have Washington, GA Tech, and Jacksonville State in our regional. What's your take on Washington?
  18. ULL is overrated but there's no need to overstate their ranking. They are the 6th overall seed, I can't imagine even one of the numerous polls (even the ones that no one pays attention) to had them #1. ESPN was referring to them as #1 all night.
  19. lol Jackson State University just beat the no.1 team in the country, Univ of Louisiana-Lafayette. Proof that their 53-7 record was smoke and mirrors on account of not playing anyone. btw, the 1-0 shutout for JSU was the first time they shutout ANY team 1-0 since 1981. This was indeed the biggest upset in the history of the NCAA baseball tournament. #269 RPI beating #5 RPI
  20. You're definitely new here...
