  1. The issue is more so to save his legs and avoid injury than his being a Dunn-like liability out there. Does fine= not horrible? For an inning at a time? And significantly hurting the offense if he his spot comes up again? Numerically, Soriano is an above average defender, and the best outfield arm in the game.
  2. Yeah, I don't think WVU is a lock. They're only a half step above Providence, and I don't think Providence is even in the field.
  3. If you're going to have a backup middle infielder make several million, I'd much rather someone like Crosby(good defender, prime years, pedigree to make breakout possible) than who we chose. Crosby and Miles on the same roster would be wicked dumb.
  4. Gathright and Hoffpauir are both left handed. And Soriano is fine defensively.
  5. Guzman can't go to Iowa(well, not easily), he's out of options.
  6. Baseball reference stuff isn't tabbed. If you used ESPN, it wouldn't look that way.

  9. Maclin to the Bears makes me sad.
  10. Good to see Tepesch get on track against a good opponent. And especially good for Mizzou to snap their 7 game skid to end the season opening road trip.
  11. The omnipresence of people relating everything to Illinois regardless of topic makes that difficult.
  12. Is that Hightower and Tom O'Neill doing a game together?
  13. Hart had a K and a HBP in a scoreless 7th. Stanton had a 1-2-3 4th inning, and Mateo had a K in a perfect 8th.
  14. lol. Can't blame a 25 point blowout on reffing. Were there any 3-second five-second calls? I'd love a round 3, but chances are it'll have to be in the Big 12 finals. And chances are, you'll have to beat OU in OKC to get there. So I don't see it happening. Oh no, we didn't lose because of officiating, the losing made the officiating irritating. And yeah, it'll have to be in the B12 championship. I don't think it's too likely, but I'll have to see how Wednesday goes before being sure.
  15. I honestly think Mizzou went 0 for jump shots in the first half, I've never seen anything like that. I'm also pretty sure I got fouled by Cole Aldrich during the game, but maybe I'm just bitter. I want a Round 3.
  16. Yep, he walked 3 times and almost 6 seconds went off the clock before they gave Duke the timeout. Criminal.
  17. I don't see that as saying they were equals at all. That was a response to all the people saying they had "never liked Hill" for nebulous reasons pertaining more to assumptions about his mentality and personality than his actual performance. where did anyone say anything remotely near that?
  18. With that many players per team gone, I think you need a pitcher with some guaranteed production, since Price is a bit of a wildcard and is your only arm right now. Oswalt's been steady at giving 200 IP of good production, although on this year's Astro team he probably will get jobbed out of a couple wins.
  19. I say Oswalt.
  20. Cal-UCLA has been a good one, Cal leads 34-32 at the half. UCLA had a 7 point play where they drew an intentional foul and still made the basket, made both FTs, then got a 3. I kinda agree with the announcers that it doesn't seem fair. Maybe they should consider adding a provision that if the team makes the shot on the intentional foul, they don't get the extra possession, just the two shots.
  21. This thread would have died a couple pages ago if people hadn't invented points to argue against and attributed them to other people.
  22. Saw this comparison on a broadcast today and thought it was interesting. Using Sagarin's numbers: Team A: 21-7, 38 SOS, 1-3 v. Top 25, 6-6 v. Top 50, worst loss is #62, 1-2 against common opponents Team B: 21-8, 67 SOS, 0-3 v. Top 25, 4-6 v. Top 50, worst loss is #67, 2-1 against common opponents Obviously Team A should be put ahead, but how much? Lunardi has Team A(UCLA) as a 5 seed and Team B(aTm) as one of the first few out.
  23. Oklahoma State is reaming Texas. Barnes has done a horrible job this year with the talent he has on that team.
