So it looks like they are negotiating with cable and streaming companies, but will also be offering a no-blackout package through MLB.tv as well.

The more fun, and impossible because of the vastly different eras of the sport, is ranking LSU's 8 natty teams.

1997 LSU
2009 LSU
2023 LSU
1991 LSU
2025 LSU
1993 LSU
2000 LSU
1996 LSU

But I think you can rearrange 97, 09 and 23 in any order 1-3, same foes for 91, 25, 93 from 4-6. I think, while the most fun and thrilling win, 96 was by far the worst team of the bunch.

I can remember how long A&M was ranked last year but it was about 3 to 4 weeks longer than they should have been due to preseason biases which d1 is by far the worst at. They think VERY highly of themselves and their pre season opinions.

This is my biggest issue with D1, largely Kendall and Fitt.

They are two dorks who in the 2000's were the only ones really covering college baseball with Rivals/Perfect Game and Baseball America. In that time, they built up this weird sense of "We know the sports better than anyone" complex and it still exists now even though a lot more people are following the sport and can see through their biases.

Kent St will be interesting to follow. They finished 38-17 last season but didn't make the regionals. Starting off with a solid effort vs LSU and taking 2 of 3 @Tenn bodes well for them.

---

Just like last year for them, it does not matter what they do the rest of the regular season. They don't have another ranked team on their schedule.

All that matters is that they secure the autobid in the MAC tournament.

Also the short track chick who was favored to win a bunch of events but couldn't stay upright.

That has to be moved right?

This is just made up nonsense. He has negative power, but has some of the best bat control on the team.

Kent State is very good offensively. They were one of the best teams at the plate last season and returned a bunch of those guys. Should've made the tournament, but because they play in a 1-bid league, it didn't matter that they won the regular season title, but mattered that they choked in the conference tournament.

They dogwalked Southeastern and I think we would've had our hands full if we played them in a series, instead of just a midweek.

Arcia starting at SS for the Twins :lol:
