Rett Johnson would be a great fit for our roster. You already have some good power on the roster (Bide, Serna, Braun will emerge into one). Having a good OBP guy that hit .390 for an ACC team would be an awesome add. Maybe the coaching change will help us.

I wonder what his pitch mix is like. He is close to averaging a K/IP and I love his BB rate. Seems like a nice high floor guy to add to the staff.

One more portal wishlist if he happens to enter:
Isaiah Magdaleno
Hawaii- Junior
95.1 IP
2.36 ERA
116 K
31 BB
.171 B/AVG

I went down a rabbit hole and totaled Milam's career stats for the months of May and June. Hopefully whoever drafts him has minor league teams in warm weather states.

Career Stats:
54 Games
.354 AVG
.466 OBP
11 HR
50 RBI
42 Runs
38 BBs

Breakdown by Season:

2024:
20 Games
.395 AVG
.477 OBP
5 HR
15 RBI
18 Runs

2025:
22 Games
.312 AVG
.448 OBP
2 HR
17 RBI
15 Runs

2026:
12 Games
.357 AVG
.481 OBP
4 HR
18 RBI
9 Runs

TLDR: Milam would be an All American if the season started in May.

I was expecting this thread to be about homeruns.

Then I saw this:

quote:

---

Still some fun moments this year like arrambide’s 4 homer game and Jake brown’s tear that ended too early

---

Checks out

quote:

---

10.1 IP 8 H 15 BB 5 HBP 5 WP 5 K 1.74 ERA

---

This is one of the more insane stat lines that I have ever seen. The guys coming in after him to put out his fires must be electric. Also, this is a great example of why ERA is an overrated stat.

quote:

---

What I meant when I said that is that his attitude doesn’t seem like someone who is completely bought in to what Jay wants to do. The other transfers I think are they’re just not producing.

---

He gave me the same impression as well. Just by going off his interview, body language, etc. Just a bad take. Not sure he does anything well and is a tweener. I don’t understand what scouts saw in him to make him a top prospect out of high school.

quote:

---

It’s Cowan. Didn’t see that coming

---

Some of us did. But agreed probably 2-3 innings at most

quote:

---

Cowan threw 73 oitches on Tuesday. He might get the start, but I would not expect it. If he does, unless he gets quick outs, he won't be in for 3 innings.

---

Depends on how efficient he is. I think 3 IP is best case scenario. But I could see Jay wanting to get off to a good start and Cowan is the safest option for me. Jay mentioned Tuesday postgame that he would be available Saturday if needed I believe. So he is definitely available today.

I think Bronzini is at Little Rock this year oddly enough.

I think it should be clear that Dardar has separated from the pack and is your 2B moving forward. The real battle is DH (when Arrambide is catching) and the 4th OF spot.

Wade was a good coach at LSU, no question, but this board overrates him and pines for him in a ridiculous way. He accomplished nothing in the tournament. Nothing.

---

Let’s see… his 2nd year, he wasn’t allowed to coach in the tourney and the team was so good, they made the sweet 16 without him. Then the next season, the tourney was cancelled because of COVID. Then Wade’s 4th season (what should have been his 3rd tourney), they made the round of 32. His last season, we were a 6 seed and he was fired before the tourney. So he had one legit tourney that he was allowed to coach his team in. Strange hill to die. Wade had LSU in the dance every year. That’s miles better than what any coach has accomplished here since Dale. I would say that he is pretty damn good.
