but I'm curious how wrong these calls actually are pursuant to what the strike zone actually is.


I really only saw one, maybe two in the Ole Miss game that were for sure balls that were called strikes. Serna was very good at guessing which ones were close enough and asking for reviews.

I'm not watching, are they calling balls a strike or strikes a ball or both?



Mostly strikes called balls. A couple of have been iffy for certain but generally I think ABS has gotten it correct.
Surprised more batters aren't challenging
Whew, that extended ABS showed up there. Probably a ball in MLB.

I can't wait for Mike to retire. This is such a typical performance for us. We had an outside shot at getting a host spot if we won 2-3 games in this tournament, now we're getting blasted in the first game we play. No energy, no fight, just a lackluster, uninspired performance.


I am a Mike hater but last year Ole Miss did the exact opposite and played their way into a host spot in Hoover. Robertson and Waters have been as reliable as anyone in the bullpen recently so not sure what we would have done differently.
It's about the history!
He's still accessing it. He blocked Chase Parham either today or yesterday, who covers Ole Miss for 247. Chase hasn't @'d Lane since he left but has discussed Lane on his podcast with Neal.

Ole Miss is set up pretty well with Townsend and Hooks fully rested and Calhoun should still have some in the tank.

Taylor Rabe with 27 strikeouts over his last 12 innings. Pretty good.
Lane hasn't posted a live laugh love graphic on twitter in a few days. Someone take away his phone?
I don't know how I missed this Brian Kelly gem. Two grown men melting down at each other.

It's been a really fun season. Crazy that the fate of so many teams are coming down to this weekend. There are projected 2s that could end up in the national seed convo and projected hosts that could wind up as borderline 3 seeds all depending on it. (and Hoover of course)

re: LSU players salaries released.

The Dottery number is interesting because I know LSU paid more for him but that number is much closer to what Ole Miss was offering him ($450k) to stay. That said, some of these valuations happen to also be the alleged numbers being thrown around pre-signing such as $6m for Leavitt or $4m for Seaton. The others look like actual valuation numbers because they're much more specific.

But yeah, a valuation is not a salary.

Lane definitely knows which color crayons taste best and which ones to avoid.
Lane and Layla aren't together. He just wants Knox with him and this is the only way it would happen.
Big players at all schools have major NIL deals outside of crowdfunding collectives.
He's done 3 national interviews this week where he took digs at Ole Miss only to try and walk them back.

It's only Tuesday.
Sark should consider changing jobs so he doesn't have to coach at such a disadvantaged school.

Laurel is like 15 miles closer to Oxford than it is to Baton Rouge. It's in south MS, not far from Hattiesburg.
Vanity Fair running this after running a fluff piece just last week where a black student athlete spoke glowingly about Ole Miss is quite the juxtaposition.

Lane hadn't been the ESPN lede in a while. Guess this is one way to get that title back.

Hard to believe that Ole Miss has a shot to finish above .500 with all of the flaws they have and the schedule they've played. Really wish we had held last Sunday against Arkansas or game 1 against MSU.
