TBS/TNT coverage of the French Open is so much better. ESPN literally spent 10 minutes of coverage the other day with commentators talking over Serena hitting balls in practice. While there were numerous live matches going on.
We got Jump and Thatcher Hurd for him.
Weinstein decommitted and is going to UCLA now

I love how people just throw out blanket statements like this.

I’m sure this was previously discussed, but is Laya a DES?


He is not
I also have no doubt they a deep dive into all things related to pitching this year (pitch calling, usage, etc). I expect they will tweak some things going into next season.
I think he’s just making sure we’re not left grasping for straws after the draft.
I had heard that we were pushing hard for him. We’ve definitely covered our bases as far as position players to have enough options.
Well you said Arizona State is not any good. They made a regional final lthis past season and return one of the best players in the country. They'll be a preseason top 15 team next year.
We can tell you don't follow college baseball at all.

thought I heard they will play UNLV on the following Monday at Las Vegas Ballpark as well. Anyone else hear this?


We are playing UNLV but it’s at their on campus stadium.
Iowa had a RPI of 69 last season. If that’s the worst team we play that weekend that’s pretty solid.
quote:

Also, these guys have to WANT to come here with the intention of rarely hitting and only being a late inning defensive replacement. That’s not a great selling point to many guys. Milazzo was a unicorn who was from LA and had zero pro prospects.


Exactly. I love how people think players out of the portal are going to want to come here to play a couple of innings behind the plate late in games (that we have a lead in) and get maybe 50 at bats on the season.
Pretty good field for this one

LAS VEGAS – Peak Events, LLC, announced on Thursday the field for the fourth annual Live Like Lou Las Vegas College Baseball Classic at Las Vegas Ballpark on Friday-Sunday, March 5-7, 2027. The participating teams are LSU, Arizona State, Iowa and Oregon State.

The 2027 Live Like Lou Las Vegas Classic will include three days of play at Las Vegas Ballpark, which serves as the home of the Athletics’ Triple-A affiliate, the Las Vegas Aviators. The weekend tournament will have two games per day in a round-robin format. The full schedule, including matchups and game times, will be finalized soon.

After the three-game tournament, LSU will remain in Las Vegas and face UNLV on Monday, March 8, in a single game at Earl E. Wilson Stadium on the UNLV campus.

Every player on the roster can’t be an expensive, plug and play all SEC guy.


I was just coming here to say this.
We were supposed to play Florida State in Biloxi for a midweek back in 2023 but they backed out.
I don't think we were ever really in it for him. Unfortunately for us, most of the good transfers are going to end up in the SEC.
And also strike out in 40% of his at bats
quote:


Hell yeah.

So is that the outfield or do we try and find one more?


I still think they would take the Oregon OF if he wanted to come here.

Weather is cooling off this week there so that's good news for Sinner. Looks like ESPN it putting all the streaming stuff on ESPN Unlimited again like they did for the Aussie Open.
