Can't find a decent video, but I guess he resets after the leg twitching.

    Losing a ball in the bottom of the ninth is the definition of a gutless choke.

    They call Arkansas chokers and deservedly so. Sorry man, cant do that in the biggest moment of the season. We gotta own the choke on this one. Jesus what a way to lose.

Miami is probably a borderline top 10-15 job in college baseball. They should be making it out of regionals pretty regularly in my mind.

It's better than that - they have the second most CWS appearances behind us and are #3 in all time winning percentage. Also four national titles.

They are a the very definition of a "blue blood" in the sport. I'm not sure who else you definitely put above them other than Texas, LSU, and USC (although they don't seem to give a shit anymore - no CWS appearances in the last 20+ years).

What's weird is it looks like an upper body twitch.  Almost like a piss shiver or a dry heave.

Something to look forward to.

Yeah, on second thought they are easily a top 10 job and probably borderline top 5. I am just unsure on their current commitment level to baseball. Now there is chatter they may just promote their pitching coach to the head spot which is odd.

They have had a lot of previous success but their fan support, NIL and level of caring seem to lag behind a lot of SEC schools and Texas.

Didn't he pitch for them in the '00's? Name sounds familiar

Historical ranking based on past success and where a job ranks on how attractive it would be to a coach now are two different things. Miami dwarfs Tennessee in terms of historical success as a baseball program but you could make the very real argument that Tennessee is currently a more attractive job than Miami. 
 

Using this example because I’ve seen Miami fans floating Vitello’s name around.

Arizona State is another program that historically is really good but most coaches right now would put 20-25 programs ahead of Arizona State on the pecking order

Miami just exudes scumbagidness (is that a word? lol) much like ou does. 
usc was just a team that was good at baseball before I was born and good at football for 15 minutes.

Which USC are we talking about here?

Not that it matters, because I also hate Miami way more than either USC.

Two different hates, hate the Thug U and their history w/us, but hate USC  due to the media slurpage they got w/ Bush and ballroom dancer Leinert, and their cheating asses.

Sure but...we beat them. That makes it hard to generate much resentment for them.

Their ace has a 5 ERA? And he is right handed?

Ok that gives us some hope.

Reread it.

This was expected after Matthews threw 160 pitches or whatever last weekend.

Going with their ace in game 2. Right. See this is why I am an engineer.

Matthews is Left Handed so DOOOOMED.

It’s an easy mistake to make since it’s a Saturday Sunday Monday series. I did the same thing because game 2s are usually Saturday.

Game logs for Dixon. He has been consistently average to slightly above average. Has never given up more than 4 earned in a start but also doesn't have many shutdown starts.

That seems better for us imo. If we can stay at his mean then we get 2-4 runs in the first 5 innings. That a good position with a guy like Lucas going for us

Smart of them to save their ace for the first of their two elimination games.

FIFY

Stanford losing their ace for game 1 is fairly significant. If he pitched game 1, I bet Stanford would make him available for an inning or 2 in game 3. 

Now he's probably limited to 1  game this weekend.

Not series related, but we should be getting some good news for the squad next year very soon….

Brings me back to sitting around in Jester , getting stoned, ordering a thundercloud sub and listing to the entire 3 album Yessongs while staring at Roger Deans album artwork….

 

You forgot the "Tales From Topographic Oceans", "Tormato", and "Relayer" albums.

Saw Yes in concert in the Houston area twice, in The Summit for the "Big Generator" tour and at Woods Pavilion for the incredible "Union" album tour.

Typical funky left hander with bit of old school wind-up.

Big drop from his fastball to breaking ball. He's hittable, (though aggy didnt really touch him on Monday night) but we need a win tonight.

I usually don’t have this kind of recruiting insight but this particular situation is a little unique. Never been someone to try to string people along and try to be Mr. Insider.

The kid committed to the coaches and said he was going to announce publicly “soon”.

Yep. Buddy of mine out in California knew about him and tipped me off when he found out it was going to be Texas. Small world.

Good player. Plug and play in the OF. Played CF and batted leadoff all year at his junior college. Supposed to be a good defender too.

Don't know much about him or their situation, but from what I just read it sounds like there were a lot of politics in play when DiMare got the job 5 years ago.

He was ARod's high school coach, IIRC.

The only thing not hateable about Miami - the entire city - is Spoelstra and Butler. That city and that school are filled with greaseballs. Cheesiest city in America. Very fitting their field is named for A Rod. 

And lol on downplaying USC football success (15 minutes) and to a lesser extent baseball success. Through the 70s nobody had dominated college athletics like LA’s two schools.

Fuck yeah. Keep these SoCal kids coming. Some ballers out there.

This post is bad.

USC as a baseball program hasn’t been relevant for 25 years. They weren’t relevant for 20 years prior to that. It’s been 50 years since the 70s

I know. Would be interested to know exactly what I posted that contradicts this truth. It’s been 45 years since their great run ended and the 70s was 43 years ago, though.

Let's go get game 1 cause LBJ seems like the kind to take the moving their ace to G2 personally.

They moved him to get him more rest not for strategy.
