He’s fielding like .850, he would not have a place on defense here.
Schuessler didn’t bolt. I’m sure Kennedy just wanted a home where they’d guarantee him a lineup spot
Don’t really care bc we’d have nowhere to put him besides DH and Mendoza is a better lead off man and much better defensively, but Dee Kennedy has an ops over 1000 for KSU. Good for him
I love having a good AD. No embarrassing whiffs, no leaks until the ink is dry, coach locked down prior to the portal opening.
Meanwhile every media guy knew Buzz wanted out weeks ago and Alberts was still caught off guard
This team is outfitted with an elite mentality. To go from last week’s atmosphere to this and not allow even a tiny bit of drop off is really impressive stuff
Giving up 12 runs a game in their 6 conference games so far, but the heart of their lineup is pretty prolific also. K heavy lefty on the mound tonight
Sweep is pretty important. Their RPI is so shitty that we lose points even for winning these games
They keep raving out this camera setup, but there’s been multiple reviews without a good enough angle already this year.
Almost certainly got the tag on, but we’ll take it. Probably should’ve gone head-first there
Ambushing Ruger is probably a good strategy considering he’s been throwing meat lately. If he can extend with some quick innings could be amazing for us
Nobody is taking or leaving this job because of all time wins. CDC is one of the most persuasive and capable hirer in college sports. If the best he can do is Miller, it is what it is. There’s nothing unique about the timing of firing a coach in March right before the portal opens and I’m not aware of any elite coaching options CDC is ignoring for perception’s sake unless you’re talking about Beard
I could talk myself into being happy with Miller. March performance can be a crap shoot. Everyone except Few has multiple early exits. Good, experienced recruiter who can get slimy. Hasn’t had a $ advantage since shoe brands were footing the bill.
Fact of the matter is there’s nothing unique about this program to attract a championship caliber coach. Men’s basketball is maybe the only sport in college athletics where CDC’s hiring strategy doesn’t really play
Looking at some other schools without basketball pedigree: Auburn did it through putting on a blind fold to hiring a scumbag and Bama did it through hitting the lottery on an up and comer. If we’re not going those routes, Miller might be the best we can do and it is what it is. Fuck you Beard, why couldn’t you have had 1 fewer double whiskeys that night?
That’s how a coach still in the tourney would want it.
But also it’s not exactly a CDC play to axe a coach when he’s not ready for the introductory presser the next day. Feel like that means Miller
Iowa locked him down yesterday
