I'm still digging in on Jason Wachs last season at Tulane. The more I comb through the play logs on the box scores, the more I like the pick up.

A lot of instances of taking the extra base (first to third on single, scoring from 1st on a double), several times he was intentionally walked. He sees a ton of pitches. He got better as the season went on from a BB%, K%, and XBH standpoint.

He did play some CF as a freshman. Apparently there was some injury stuff that kept him at DH and RF last year. I think he will be fine in CF for us and then move over to a corner late to insert a more defensive CF.

He batted either 2nd or 3rd all year and was the main "don't let him beat you" guy for Tulane and still performed.

e get the new address squared away and at this point I’m asking them why would they send me to collections and not just give me a phone call and avoid all of this.

Because their response to this part is complete bullshite.

ETA: The doctor probably recently sold his practice to private equity. This is a common downstream impact of that. Find a new doctor.

Hayden Travinski - Signed with the Astros and played a little bit of Rookie ball. Looks to be out of baseball. Always a national Champ and owner of one of the most violent swings I've ever seen.

Played 40 something games for the Brockton Rox in the Frontier League this season before being put on the IL last week.

Bryce Collins - Signed with the White Sox and pitched a couple of seasons. Seemingly is out of baseball from what I've seen. National Champion forever.

He got picked up by the Astros org recently and is pitching in Asheville (High A).

Game Log

Is faster better?

Faster for the sake of being faster, no. Faster in some ways to make for better game flow, yes.

The pitch clock, limiting mound visits, the 3 batter minimum, have all improved the flow of the game.

But they were also born out of necessity. You used to just have fewer pitching changes in general. Guys also didn't need 45 seconds to reload because they weren't going max effort every pitch.

When those trends changed and the games kept getting longer and longer with no increase in the action, they had to act.

But the throw over rule, increasing the size of the bases, and banning the shift were all about creating more action. So they were addressing the issue from both sides.

College baseball doesn't suffer from a lack of action. It doesn't always suffer from a length of game issue.

The mercy rule and now some of these other efforts to shorten the game are being done at the behest of the TV companies (really just ESPN) because they want a more predictable broadcast window. Which is bullshite. But it's clear they don't care about making the product entertaining, they just want it to fit in their box. Otherwise there wouldn't be so much women's basketball on TV.

But you didn't let that stop you from commenting.

fricking moron.

I don't have a problem with the 3 batter minimum. I don't like it being implemented for SEC games but not other games.

The 2 pickoff rule is absolutely retarded. It wasn't implemented in the majors to make the games go quicker, it was done to increase action and offense. College baseball doesn't need that.

In the context of the totality of SEC football Auburn was a pretty new "rival" for LSU. For example, LSU has played more games vs. A&M

And?
