How’d Stanford get so bad do quick?

Losing 11-0 to Tech.

Did NIL just kick enmity in the butt?

Really hard for them to use the portal with the academic hurdles they have to jump through. They lost 1 through 5 in the order last year to the draft or portal along with 4 of their top arms. They have to rely solely on HS recruiting to restock (which they are good at but they are caught in a bad roster cycle).

To a lesser extent, it's part of the reason Rice is going to struggle to get back to respectability: NIL and an inability to get portal or JUCO kids into school.

That and selling kids on several cross country road trips every year going forward is certainly not going to help them.

I thought every West Coast kid grew up dreaming of playing baseball in Winston-Salem and Pittsburgh?

All is well at LSU

At his radio show, Jay Johnson just said that the team won’t have any cell phones around the field or in the locker room “for a very long time.”“(Phones aren’t) going to make anybody a better player, and it's not going to make us a better team.” #LSU

 

#157

As someone who once tried to make an entire room of college students go without their phones for an hour 3x a week, I feel qualified to say that this will not go well for him.

That comfort hire in Nate Yeskie is not panning out like he hoped

#159

NIL money from Marucci...... but you don't get to have your phone in the locker room. 

 

I'm not being sarcastic when I say that this is probably a tough decision for some of these dudes.

If anyone is watching this Ole Miss/Mississippi State game, Mike Bianco just had a legendary hot mic moment

Yeah... Mike was right to chew out umpire

MissState player should have been thrown out of game for his bat flip by ole miss dugout.

He had a legitimate gripe. Player should have been tossed for his antics on that homer including the bat flip and celebration.

Related but kinda unrelated, I have a feeling the next rule change coming is not allowing players to leave the dugout to celebrate homers. The entire damn dugout is coming out on the field nowadays and it’s just asking for trouble.

Florida two way player Jac Caglianone, a candidate to potentially be the No. 1 overall pick hit a home run tonight projected at 516 feet

 

He’ll be better than Ohtani. Too bad Florida is so shitty this year.

College baseball, where you can lose two 1 run games to Arkansas on the road and then get waxed 17-3 by New Mexico in your own park.

Been a crazy year all around I feel like, seems like there has been an uptick in upsets this year

#178

Well, that’s one way to end a game

Ball State has no lights. The game ends in a tie.A 12-inning thriller called due to darkness in Muncie.

 

#179

After getting the leadoff runner on in each of the previous 3 innings, the Washington Huskies finally drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 13th to to beat Pac 2 leading Arizona 9-8.  It was getaway day so the game was going to end with the second tie of the season if the Huskies were unable to accomplish this.

Washington takes the series 2-1.

Washington improves to 16-20-1.

Gotta help that Texas RPI anyways we can.

Jay Johnson has said a lot of stupid stuff this year 

Jay Johnson: "We would be a first place team in any other league in college baseball right now."-LSU has a shot at ending season with a 23-3 non-conference record-LSU currently 7-14 in SEC play#LSU

Good find BGS !

Very sad !    Wes Johnson,  former LSU pitching coach,  is in his first year as head coach and looking at the staff seems to be the pitching coach.   Coaches have to be aware,  especially the bullpen coach.

Georgia has a 5.45 era,  31-12,  10-11 SEC.     Below is the Georgia SEC Rant comments on the subject.

Woah. Texas A&M HC Jim Schlossnagle says an SEC school got busted for having a live feed to the opponent dugout all year. “I don't know if people know about it yet. I’m not going to reveal it… They are hitting .306 at home and .206 on the road. I don't know.” https://t.co/pwHH4qEQUD

Just saw the Jomboy video of the UGA pitcher this morning. Will anything come of it?

Schlossnagle made a comment this week that the SEC is discussing having the umpires check pitchers between innings/when they enter from the bullpen like in the MLB.

He didn't sound sure if it was something they could put in place this year or starting next year.

Two biggest surprises for me are on the far right of the chart (AZ and Hawaii).

When I was there, UH had something like 4000 season ticketholders, which count every night, but about 500 people would show up for each game.

I'd really like to see a graph of a butts-in-seats attendance measure.

Hawai'i has a big stadium and big beers for cheap.  It has had big crowds for both the Texas series I've been to.

Good point !

Texas claims they have sold 7K season tickets.   I really think they have made a deal with the ticket brokers like Seat Geek which may have bought alot of the season tickets.     Check the prices for the Friday OKSt game.    Seat Geek is trying to unload. (just my guess) and ready for a new coach.Screenshot2024-05-02211852.thumb.png.77c85f0e601a78258600cf546f3e7715.png

This seems stupid to me.  MLB rule below.

 

Official Baseball Rule 5.09(b)(12) states that should a runner, in scoring, fail to touch home plate and continue on the way to the bench (making no effort to return), the runner may be put out by the fielder touching home plate and appealing to the umpire for a decision.
