Checks out.

It’s gotta be Saban. OP doesn’t specify best bama coach (only way Bear has an argument) or best coach in general..

They have same # of titles at Bama, but Saban has an additional title for another program. That easily sets him apart. As much as we loved to hate him while at Bama…
LSU’s brand, resources, and dedication to football, as it exists today would not be without Saban.

That thing is nightmare fuel

Is the BBQ Beef pizza coming back, too?

This is all I remember my family ordering from there. Occasionally thin crust supreme.

On paper, I thought the hire had potential. I think everyone, including Scott, miscalculated the hunger and drive he had to get that elusive natty. He had one thing missing from his resume, and was at a place with all the resources to do it. You don’t become the winningest coach at ND with a shitty work ethic.

Thats why it surprised me when we started hearing rumors of him checking out, playing golf and not giving a shite. Seems like at the end there was just so much disconnect.

With the amount of resources and money that LSU puts into baseball, a “down” year should be being eliminated in a regional or super regional.

Making the field of 64 should be the floor every year. Agreed, LSU has too many resources and advantages built in not to.

I don't know if it's fair to expect them to make it to Omaha, or even win a regional in a "down" year, or post-natty year where they lost most of the pitching and hitting production. But they should absolutely be able to make the post season.

Dickinson was so good and big part of last years success. I miss him and his Barry bonds earring… Idk how Jay hit on that portal class so well, and missed on this one so bad.

Wonder if he plans rocking #99 here

Pretty cool to visualize. Nice job putting together.

It seems like I was thinking in averages but, the rule is applied in outer points of a range.
So yea anything that touches the strike zone in both the horizontal and vertical plane, at any two points, is considered a strike.

Easy to see why we often think umps have shitty zones.

Thanks for the graphic and info. That is interesting..

I guess the rule is pretty clear, but I’d be interested to see a chart of where the average batter makes instantaneous contact. Front, center, or back. If I had to guess I would say most make contact closer to center..

Also, that graphic shows movement in the horizontal plane but I guess im also thinking of vertical plane.. which is probably easier to see from the umpire’s perspective. The rate that some breaking balls drop is gnarly so I could definitely see situations where it’s a strike at front of the plate, but not at back.

It’s messed up but the one I feel the worst for in that video is the lil dog on the dudes lap. He didn’t ask to be there.

The probably feeding lil dude kibbles and fentanyl.
