No love for whitehead, the pitcher? I’m obviously kidding, but I think he is going to be solid in the lineup next year.

I’m fuzzy on the particulars, but wasn’t the ou pitcher who had the monster cws in a similar situation as Witt? If so, that kid made a ton of money coming back and pitching well. Somebody correct me if I have that wrong. That said, I’m still not expecting him to contribute at this point. It’s a risky proposition.

Horton didn’t throw at all as a frosh and is draft eligible as a soph. I’d say the biggest difference is Witt already has college tape, Horton had to come back to show off

    So just getting there and shitting the bed is a good season? You might want to start rooting for the Aggies you would fit in well

  • Anyone that buys an Omahorns hat should be kicked in the nuts. 

  • Yeah it pisses me off how the normies think baseball is some chump team just because the football team is. They finished #7 for fuck sake. How often in baseball does the #1 preseason team win the CWS?

Maybe Witt has shown enough but he was inconsistent until the end of his freshman season. 

Witt might have college tape but I think like Horton he probably needs to show more to go high in the draft. 

Hmmm….interesting that he didn’t include Kennedy. Guess he might still be unsigned.

Rosters going back to 35 this year?

 

OB said they believe a decision from Watts-Brown is coming soon and that Texas feels good.

Wyatt Cheney was picked in the 10th round but haven't seen anything on him signing. I assume he will still sign but nothing yet. 

Edith Faltine's Facebook post celebrating Trey's signing with the Reds:

Orioles TV crew described both Ardoin and Hodo as “defense over offense”, with both being “plus defenders.”  Sounds about right …

Kennedy back and adding Watts-Brown would be nice. 

If both those things happen this team is going to be really good......again. Maybe add 1 more bat from the transfer portal or JUCO if both those things happen? 

I saw somebody mention that Morehouse was pitching well in his summer league so went to see how he was doing. He's had 3 good starts and 1 really bad start. 

Where do you think Texas will use him next year @Hookem2147?

There seemed to be a trend with him last year where he pitched really well against bad teams and teams with a pulse hit him around pretty good. 

He has the stuff, but he certainly didn’t seem to be able to locate consistently. He’s someone I could see benefiting big time from Williams. If this pitching staff is maximized next year I don’t think he’s a starter but we’ll see. Seems more like a multi inning reliever.

I was thinking midweek starter. 

Assuming Texas lands Watts-Brown they will have a lot more options this year with starters.

If they get Watts-Brown then the rotation is pretty much set in my mind. Gordon and JWB on Friday’s and Saturday’s with Hurley/Stuart battling for the Sunday role. Loser of that goes to Tuesday. Everyone else to the bullpen.

Double cool! 

This team is going to be good. 

Interesting with Brown. Are one of these outfielders going to move to the INF or just be a DH? That's 4 good outfielders now with Brown, Kennedy, Campbell, and Whitehead.

So Jared Thomas to first/dh. Grab a juco guy to fill whatever role Thomas doesn’t and the lineup is sorted. Watts-Brown would round out a roster capable of hosting 

Reading between the lines, I think Texas might be giving this guy a look. Any relation to the other Jungs?

Hell, 2147 told us he’s gonna open Big XII play as our Friday SP. 

Oh hey Doc! 18 month injury still? On track to throw in games by September of 2023?

Highly, highly doubtful Witt throws an inning next year. Typically an 18-month injury.

If EK could add a bit more power or at least find gaps more consistently he could be a nice piece of the lineup.

He was abysmal down the stretch last year. Too lazy to find the exact number I posted a few weeks back but he didn't have an extra base hit in like his last 40 at bats of the season.

Can't teach speed though and when he's fully healthy he can do a lot of damage on the bases.

Yep. Only a goddamn idiot would say he’s starting our Big XII opener. We know you fucked that up, we can move on now.

I likey.  Another lefty bat with 4 years of experience in a good program in a position of need. 

Over last two seasons (83 games, 54 starts):

-  312/405/486 slash line

- Walks decent amount (13.03%)

- Strike outs not crazy (20.69%).

Kennedy and Brown to me complete the position player side.  And if they got watts brown then the pitching staff looks pretty solid, especially if they think Witt will be back fully by the playoffs.  Probably doesn’t look as strong as this past year but still a deep roster with CWS potential.

We have gone from a team with very few left handed hitters competing for playing time to the complete opposite.

We have 6 guys who could play the OF (Campbell, Whitehead, Brown, Kennedy, Beyleu and Thomas) and 5 of them are left handed hitters.

He was abysmal down the stretch last year. Too lazy to find the exact number I posted a few weeks back but he didn't have an extra base hit in like his last 40 at bats of the season.

If it’s any consolation, saw last night DJ Lemahieu hasn’t hit a ball more than 200 feet in his last 100 balls contacted.

Point being, that’s a relatively useless fact that has no bearing on your comment.

On paper, 2023 LSU is one of the best teams I've ever seen. We'll see if it translates to the field.
