I wouldn’t be bothered by it except the fact that he asks 20 dumb questions a presser

I don’t care that Koki picked UNC. Outside of that, he’s awful when it comes to asking good questions and knowing baseball.

I know this may be far-fetched, but it's entirely possible he doesn't base his opinion around the Vegas odds and instead is making his own evaluation. Crazy, I know.

You really think Koki knows the UNC baseball team inside and out? lol doubtful

A media member picked the #4 overall seed to win their regional? Damn, that's crazy.

Beat reporting is stuck in the past. They think knowing AP style and having a journalism major is more important than being invested in a team and having genuine curiosity about the sport.

I would rather a slightly more poorly written article by some one dialed in

Go back and re-read what I wrote, slower if you need.

Saying that he's making his own evaluation and not relying on the Vegas odds doesn't say anything about the extent of his knowledge. It literally means he's making his own evaluation and not relying on the Vegas odds.

I mean frick, you people get fixated on hating someone and can't think your way out of a wet paper bag.

No she didn't. She never gave out any info that wasn't known by others. In fact, when fans asked her during one of the series if one of the players was injured or suspended, she said, "how am I supposed to know, Jay didn't say anything before the game."

How many mental health days did Koki take this year?

I have to say Koki really seemed to enjoy the SEC tournament, his X updates showed his excitement
I’d rather have someone that enjoys what they do & is objective any day over someone that prepares for an article about Crews being from Florida & walking it off in his home state against the Gators

So rather than make his assessment on ANY fact or detail, he is just pulling it out of his arse and thats somehow better? Lol

Again, you wanting to hate the kid makes you unable to rub two brain cells together.

Where did I say he's not using any facts or details?

Is that some out of this world bold prediction? UNC is good. I see a lot of people picking them. Also see some picking LSU. What's the big deal?


Also, something like 66% of hosts win their regionals since '99. Not crazy.

I followed her twitter all last season. She was constantly giving us updates as to who was traveling with team, who was injured and their status. Jay plays that close to the vest so sometimes the info was limited. But Koki just retweets other people and puts out less information than she did. I do not intend to defend her. I was happy when she left and Koki took over. I really thought he'd be better than he is. Hopefully, he will grow into it.

Koki did take at least one weekend off in the middle of the season that no one here seemed to notice or care about. But there was a lot of melting when Leah Vann took a trip last year.

Dude he doesn’t know shite. He’s just guessing. Not making an informed opinion. But that’s the whole point. If that’s the case why in the world would you not take the team you’re covering. If you want a contrarian as you # 1 number beat reporter inside the team, have fun with that.
