Don't look now but Aloy is on a bit of a heater.

No. At bare minimum you will win Sunday. We have absolutely no pitching depth.

Dietz is really good. It's a shame he's the only one.

I always assumed he wouldn't be available even if DVH stepping down didn't happen for another 2-3 years. I figured he'd work out in the majors. At this rate I'd be shocked if Vitello lasted that long, but like I said before it's still really early. They could get hot, but there's no way they're going to tolerate looking up at Colorado for longer than 2 years.

In other news, Dietz still being the only dependable arm we've got and the offense actually producing.

The Vitello experiment may not last long in San Fran. It's early but they're even worse than the Rockies right now. They aren't going to tolerate that for long.
The World Series is the championship series in the sport of baseball.

Softball plays for a national championship.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Saw that coming a mile away. Root was a gamer but he was never what media people talked like he was.

I noticed Miikka mentioned one and done a lot in his interviews after he signed. I'm worried he's coming in with unrealistic expectations and is going to end up getting frustrated.
I mean at this point just get rid of the regular season and let everyone in. Seems like such a stupid move especially considering we've entered a time where the tournament is already very chalky as it is.

That's fair. We should be better at staying in front of the ball. But when Brazile is your "force" inside, there's a lot to be desired there as well. :lol:

As it stands, we're counting on Bowser to make a huge leap.

Don't think people would be so concerned if we were already more solidified defensively inside. Right now we're in position to have the same weaknesses as last year unless Bowser wildly exceeds expectations. Obviously a good get, but we still have holes in the roster so people are on edge.

We definitely missed on some evals, no doubt about it. But IMO the ranking also denotes the immediate effect of not having as much backing.

Obviously we should still be better than we are even with the decrease, but it's hard to argue it's not having an effect.

It's why I just can't get on the wagon with this team. We may end with a respectable conference record and might even host, but I dread seeing this team in the postseason format.

Getting 3 hit by Missouri's Sunday guys isn't exactly stellar either.

About to give Missouri their 4th SEC win of the season. :lol:

Brazile being a 3 with the size of a 4 who has been in the 4 spot has made people over value the necessity of a elite 5. Actually having 4s and 5s who play as a 4/5 instead of wanting to hang out on the perimeter like a 3 will make a world or difference.
You say that, but Brazile still out-blocked and out-rebounded the 5's. Brazile was definitely a finesse player, but we were also just weak at the 5. Both are true.

I'm of the mind that if next year's team is even remotely similar to this one, we don't need an "elite" big. We just need a Moses Kingsley or Steven Hill type role player.
