Kiley McDaniels’ mock on ESPN has a clip indicating Hirschkorn is a tough sign for MLB. Fingers crossed. (List looks promising for Vanderbilt also.)

quote:
Of the top-ranked players who aren't in this projection, it's almost entirely high school prospects with tough signability that could push them to college. RHP Coleman Borthwick (Auburn commit), C Sean Dunlap (Tennessee), SS James Clark (Duke), SS James Tronstein (Vanderbilt), RHP Joseph Contreras (Vanderbilt), LHP Bo Holloway (Vanderbilt), RHP Bryce Hill (Stanford), and RHP Jensen Hirschkorn (LSU) are real threats to end up in college.

Not that it was unexpected. It never felt like LSU had a good chance. It’s disappointing that a kid of a past LSU star who also happens to be the top HS basketball player isn’t coming to LSU. You hope to have an “in” with these kids, and it didn’t work out. I’m sure the past 4 years didn’t help.

Excellent point. He was a badass in more than one instance.

Ted Williams

quote:
Before the final two games on September 28, a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Athletics, he was batting .39955, which would have been officially rounded up to .400. Red Sox manager Joe Cronin offered him the chance to sit out the final day, but he declined. "If I'm going to be a .400 hitter", he said at the time, "I want more than my toenails on the line." Williams went 6-for-8 on the day, finishing the season at .406. (Sacrifice flies were counted as at-bats in 1941; under today's rules, Williams would have hit between .411 and .419, based on contemporaneous game accounts.)

I don’t so much question “what” happened, but as I’ve gotten older I don’t always trust the “why” it happened or “who” was behind it that I was taught.

I think this is it. No middle ground, and nearly half the country’s citizens have been convinced they should be ashamed to be an American.

Yeah, I quit reading his post after that. I mean, I’m in the club that has lost a lot of the fervor once held for Trump, but to still believe that narrative and point to it as THE reason for hating him? BAAAAAAA!!!!

If you know the Buteras you know he has little tolerance for wokeness. Unless it’s something blatant and truly out of line he’s not going to let his player get whacked for something like this. Good man.

Ruger just released an LCP Max Magpul collab. I have a BG2, and it has an excellent recoil management design. I’d like to shoot the new Max/Magpul to see what it’s like.

Here’s a good deal on the standard Max. $209 w/free shipping. Legit retailer.

Thoughts? Other options? Longines? Sinn? Oris?

BB and Speedy are both terrific watches.

Since you mentioned it I think you might want to do some research on the Longines Zulu Spirit Time GMT and the newest Hydroquest models with/without GMT. Can get either in 39 or 42 mm. Several colorways of course and a lot of watch for the money IMO.

Lastly, as a first foray into watches Seiko has an infinite catalog of styles/designs.
