What is going on?

What Dawson said..and I would add, it’s dry down here right now. We were talking about it in my section today. You could see rain clouds forming about 4pm and lots of guys were talking about how we need the rain. Plus that cold snap 2 weeks ago and this weekend hasn’t helped.

Don’t underestimate what rain can do for growing. I’d rather have a 1/4in of rain than 1in of irrigation.

True leadership qualities, leading by example is something this team has desperately needed.

100%. You could tell during those games he’s was out.

Now if Milam can catch fire like he did today, make your reservations!!!

Were the umps ok with that?

No they weren’t. HP ump saw it and promptly looked at Jay. I don’t think anything was said. He then walked straight to the 3B ump while signaling for UK HC to stay in the dugout, which he did, and called all the umpires for a crew meeting. They met and handed out a warning. That’s when the pitching coach for UK lost his mind.

I was there behind home plate towards the home team side. That bat was LAUNCHED. But to be honest, I don’t think Dardar meant for it to go that high. Honest heat of the moment kind of thing. Umpire crew thought so too.

BUT, that HR was the turning point of the game and the team knew it. For the first time you could tell the team knew they could win. I thought the warning was fair but they absolutely could have tossed him based on the current rule.

I don’t care either way. I just think it’s funny how the opinion of this tactic has suddenly flipped from bush league to savage

I’m sorry you missed the part where the drunks have come out in force since the 2nd inning. You're not wrong, but the drunks will say you are.

I said several pages ago, these two HCs are best friends. They were in each other’s weddings. And they both have played the stall tactics in their HC career. Jay did it the first 2 years he was here. He slowed down after the first championship and when the rules changed about pitch clocks etc. I think he was also told “you want to ride the SEC+ pine?? Make your games go 4 1/2 hours. Keep em at 2 1/2 to 3 and say hello to ESPN2 and ESPNU.

tldr: don’t listen to the drunks

I’ll go to the grave believing college pitchers are way too erratic to justify shifting.

100%. The shift is solely reliant on the pitcher landing his pitches correctly. UKs starter pitched to the outside of the plate more than half the time when they were in a shift. Not once did we take advantage of it.

I’m friends with quite a few people I compete against but no way I could be friends with someone like this douche canoe.

Really?? I seem to be the only one remembering the fist 2 seasons Jay Johnson was here where he took a “timeout” every 10 minutes. Our own fans would chirp at him for it. My wife finally announced she was done if every single game was going to take 4 1/2 hours to complete.

Stanny!

That was an incredible at bat by Stanfield. Swung at an outside pitch. Let one go by for a strike. Protected when he threw one there again then BOOM!! We need him in the lineup. Missed him when he wasn’t.

And I think that hand flip when he scored was at Yorke but from where I’m sitting, it sure looked like it was at that catcher!!! :pimp:

Has Garcia pitched yet?

Yes. Right behind Guidry.
quote:

That wasn't a normal bat flip. I don't think I've ever seen a guy flip it that high before

That bat went over 30 FEET HIGH!! I know. I’m here. He launched that thing.

For all the UK HC haters, the home plate ump called him off before he could say anything and called the other umpires together. He started griping when they just issued a warning. To be fair, his team is ready to play and we act like we can’t field a Little League team for over half the SEC season so far.
Good afternoon Saint. Glad you made it out of purgatory.

This program is more worried about social media clicks than being elite.

To be honest, social media clicks is how female college athletes get their NIL. I get what you’re saying, but this last line is actually encouraged if they want high dollars.

Also, when the ACC collapses in a few year, LSU will be in much better position than NC State, even if just by being in the SEC.

This is the real reason he will leave NC State. Plus, he knows LSU and the bosses are different. It’s hard to put in words just how badly SW needed to be let go.

What’s the cutoff date for the buyout to reduce by one year?

April 1st.

But what does the temperature have to do with it? I thought it was just the wind direction?

2 words: Density Altitude.

Simply put, as the temperature increases, the number of air molecules per square foot decreases. Translation, drag (resistance) decreases proportionally. Ball travels further as it maintains its speed longer.

Didn’t Smoke try to frick LSU over baseball camp money on his way out the door?

Wow. It took 5 pages before two people brought out the real answer.

Skip stayed at LSU as AD. That put him into position to retain the camp money, which at the time, was a significant amount of his annual money. In his defense, Skip did build that camp and still coached at it. I’m not saying I blame him for keeping it, but allowances should have been made for the income of any incoming HC.

Smoke was also not really HC material in my opinion. That’s hard to know ahead of time. That said, MLB took so many of the elite players and coaches didn’t always know who would sign and who wouldn’t. Many players were on the fence.

I was sitting behind the home team dugout. Jay walked out fairly quickly and went straight to the ump. The team’s demeanor completely deflated after that. Looked like a typical elbow injury to me.
