Lol. I wish we had Jay Johnson’s height listed


It's a higher number than your IQ for sure.

Put the players in the washer on regular cycle with cold water.

They're going to shrink every time if you wash them in hot water.

I thought everybody knew this.

This thread was going so good till a poster decided to bash another poster. Can we please keep the bashers out for crying out loud.

First thing I noticed too. Don't really get bothered by the number traditions one way or the other but at minimum it gives us something to talk about.

This roster is going to be exciting to watch. Can't wait for a little fall ball teaser.

Meanwhile, the basketball roster still has more coaches than players.

Side note - I walked past Braun the other week and looked like he had put on some muscle

I blame Vitello for last season's results
LSU plays better with him in the league

Going to be extremely hard to crack this lineup. Great returning proven players

Cade A
Serna
Braun
Milam

Big time portal acquisitions

Watters
WACHS
Park
Kurland

Humungous incoming freshmen

Nawrocki
Santerelli
Washington
Davis

Returning depth

Ruckert
Pearson
Yamin
Patrick

Jay says no lineups are being made, no rotations or roles determined... Every man for himself.

Jay wants them all to be around his height. Molding young men into his image/likeness, this is perfect!

It's clearly because of the ABS system

Good! I’m so tired of every single position player using the same heights. Average male height is 5’9. Meanwhile baseball players:

Claim 5’8 if they are extraordinarily short
Claim 5’10 if they are actually below 5’8
Claim 6 ft if they are average American male height
Claim 6’2 if they are close to 6ft
Anyone over 6’2 finally uses their actual height.

You're gonna hear the phrase 27-10-9 a lot and you're gonna love it. There's gonna be guys in the stands with poster boards like the John 3:16 dude from the 80's.

Tigers 27:10:9 - it's scriptural

Would you mind explaining this one? No doubt it is epic.

Not short enough. I want Jay to recruit a midget to pinch hit when we need a baserunner just to test the boundaries.

I know the MLB has a "midget rule" but I want to see what the NCAA would do.

quote:

The Eddie Gaedel Incident

The Setup: On August 19, 1951, during a doubleheader, St. Louis Browns owner Bill Veeck signed 26-year-old Eddie Gaedel (3 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 65 pounds) to a contract and put him in the game as a pinch-hitter.

The At-Bat: Wearing the uniform number "1/8" ( ), Gaedel crouched at the plate. Because of his tiny stature, his strike zone was virtually nonexistent. The pitcher threw four straight high balls, walking him easily.

The Aftermath: Gaedel was immediately replaced by a pinch-runner at first base and never played again.

The uniform he wore was that of current Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt Jr, who was a bat boy for the Browns at the time.
