I’m neutral on him. Other than Graff I’ve never liked any of our PBP guys.

Strike zones over the weekend were better than I was expecting, this is not.

I hate replay I hate that it’s used for everything. It should be for fair/foul, catch/drop or other close plays that could affect the game’s outcome. I also don’t like umpires using it inconsistently like reviewing our hit batter after not reviewing ULL’s. As I recall, they did review the ULL hit b...

ULL has had Some success, but I don’t remember them ever being ranked #1. They probably had to hold their noses to rank coastal carolina #1 the year they won the championship ULL was 8-9 when the season was cancelled in 2020. They've had some success, to be sure, but the coach who got it for them u...

It's obviously early, and there's room for things to change, but you can't feel good about dropping 2/3 to ULL. While they're not terrible, this is a team you should win the series from at home. We looked tight and grossly ineffective (other than the endgame on Friday) in crunch time. I hope it imp...

Solesky had the makings of a very good pitcher. The catchers on that roster really liked his potential. Do you remember, in this world, the pitching coach we once had? These are just some of the reasons why I think we are so young today. Just my $.02 opinion. And in Year 5, Jewett has added some ni...

The reference to Pierce class was a reflection of subsequently having to build the pitching roster year after year. Solesky leaving didn’t help. You can’t a deep staff in one year unless you are Vanderbilt. There was definitely a ripple effect. This is year 5, nobody asked for anyone to build a dee...

I see where someone stated we were inconsistent hitting. We had 20 hits today, so I think we probably are going to be somewhere in the middle with consistency developing as these kids get a 100+ at-bats. It is way too early to make any concrete observations. We have 53 games left. How can a basebal...

Is it? Or should it be? Which are you asking?

I’m asking if y’all think it is. I think most agree that it should be, but due to circumstances like last year being cut short, maybe it is not.

Is it postseason or bust for Jewett this year? What’s everyone thinking on that

Wouldn’t shock me at all if ULL is a regional team. Deggs is a really good coach.

3 starting catchers in 3 days was interesting. Don’t think any of them threw anyone out

Unfortunately, he’s a better coach than the one we have

True but it doesn't mean he did either.

I'm sick of not being in a regional

Amen to that

He did not but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t build up any goodwill.

Yes. And really 2 days in a row. Last year's magic is gone. If we miss the tourney Jewett has to be working in another capacity next year

You’d think so but who knows how much goodwill last year bought him with Dannen

Update: blame seems to be falling on failed relationship with Wentz https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/philadelphia-eagles-doug-pederson-jeffrey-lurie-carson-wentz-20210113.html interesting in that a new coach could possibly want to emulate the Ravens offense and Lamar by building it around Hurts thus...

Coach K’s team is not good. That’s probably a factor

Maybe once TB took the lead but the 1st drive of the 2nd half Brees led a TD drive and on the 2nd he was about to lead another score until Cook fumble.

We have to be patient. Defense is playing well. Eventually the offense will click. The big positive is that James played a lot of minutes and scored. We need more pieces but keep Forbes, Walker and James next year and it is a nice nucleus. Losing sucks, but it is a process. The results might not sh...

Is your diagnosis delusional or just plain frick nuts?

What's delusional about saying 2-3 conference wins is unacceptable?

By which metrics ?

Fritz has done a fine job, but he’s certainly not risen to the level of blind trust with every decision.
