  1. It went to hell before that. He posts a 6.75 ERA in 4 relief innings in Peoria and ends up back in extended. No reason a first round pick can't stick in low-A ball in his second full season in the system. cough Josh Vitters cough. So it's your belief that Vitters will be sent to extended spring training this year?
  2. This seemed obvious after they picked up some recruit in the past month or so.
  3. Absolutely. The team that finished tied for 4th in the Big Ten beat the team that finished tied for 9th in the Big East (who also has a history of sucking beyond belief in the city of New York), so it's settled. He wasn't serious, but it's pretty disingenuous to say that about PSU when they were clearly viewed as the 8th best Big Ten team by the tourneys.
  4. Braun doesn't play for the Cardinals, so what does it matter?
  5. Calipari's been the head coach of as many teams over the past 20 years as Saban has in the past 10. But, you honestly think people are going to refrain from taking shots at Calipari. I don't think anybody likes the guy outside of the fans of the team he's coaching(as long as it's college)
  6. Did Digger even show his face tonight?
  7. Any incentives for winning a game against Illinois?
  8. Not that Mike Lamb's any good, but good news.
  9. You can't wear white on the road unless that was 2 different thoughts. I love our road unis.
  10. Xavier Henry says he has an agreement with Memphis that he'll be let out of his LOI if Calipari leaves.
  11. memphis is the team that should be panicking. kentucky will be back no matter if calipari takes the job or not. memphis will just go back to dust. You wouldn't be worried about getting stuck with John Pelphrey as your coach?
  12. But my [expletive] is bigger than Snood's.
  13. Catspause is a lot of fun right now. Freaking out about stories that Memphis has matched the offer(whatever it is).
  14. 6Y/40M for Calipari? That's a spicy meatball.
  15. I'm not sure your point? The conference is what it is. Cal has proven that if you recruit well and take care of your conference schedule you can get a high seed in the tournament. And really, outside of the big six conferences, only Gonzaga has shown to be able to keep that up consistently through multiple coaches. Remember, 15 years back, Calipari did exactly the same thing with Massachusetts, and they've faded back into obscurity since then. I'm not sure many coaches will jump at the chance to coach Memphis just because it's Memphis. They're in a second-tier conference, and I don't see any current coach from any of the big six conferences leaving their program voluntarily for Memphis (except for maybe DePaul). I think you go to far to say no big six coaches would leave for Memphis, but generally I agree with your points. There's probably at least 10 that would jump at the chance.
  16. That's because Sagarin foolishly considered all 16 teams in the Big East rather than just the top half.
  17. He might hit the ball a little harder than Juan, could be one variable. I considered that, but it also means the ball gets to the fielder faster giving them more time. Juan's little dribblers off the sweet spot make the fielder rush more than a solid grounder 1 step to the right of the 3B.
  18. Did I skip the page where somebody argued otherwise?
  19. Seriously, Taggart's still gonna be there next year? He's like 34.
  20. That's not going to happen.
  21. this is a case where using conventional methods (i.e. actually watching) rather than stats probably wins. that or just using simple logic, of course. What about infield singles? Infield singles count as hits.
  22. Juan Pierre ground balls: Reached on error 56 times out of 2503 possibilites. Aramis Ramirez ground balls: Reached on error 49 times out of 1548 chances.
  23. And grassbass showed that this rushing has gotten Juan 1(maybe 2) extra base compared to an average baserunner.
  24. Hubert Davis said the Big 10 would win 0 games in the tournament. This was after MSU was revealed as a 2 seed. Nobody, anywhere is calling the Big 10 a powerhouse. You said they sucked, and it's ridiculous.
