The average height of a big leaguer in 2026 is 6'3". The average height of a D1 baseball player is 6'2".

Political theater, mostly

Some but not completely. Trump is trying to reign in energy prices ahead of the peak season when prices typically increase some due to demand. Not sure why they need another 30-60 days to finalize the nuclear deal. There should be nothing to finalize pertaining to nuclear. Should be as clear as the unconditional opening of the Strait.

And what are we negotiating? Turn over the uranium and open the strait unconditionally and you get nothing, that’s it.

This was posted at almost the same time as Rubio’s statement.

Oh please, Rubio, stop trying to sell us this crap. How stupid does he think we are?

I like Marco but he and Trump’s “it’s almost over” and “getting close to ending the war” is close to “two weeks to flatten the curve” territory.

What would it take to get Yordan?

There was article last week discussing this. With two years left of club control after this season, an anonymous Executive stated that Yordan could fetch a package that could exceed what the Nationals got for Soto.

LSU just got done paying him $17 million NOT to coach.

Yeah, and he probably paid about $8M in taxes and then had to pay his ex-wife $8.13M.

I like Ryan, but I don’t know about this. If anyone can provide examples of college guys of any age starting their pro careers in AA, I will be happy to admit I was wrong.

You are not wrong but I think we also have to take into account the accessibility of PPV in 1995 vs Floyd’s time, especially in the smaller cities and rural areas.

Brown is gone. After three years of college, I don’t think there is a realistic season statistically that could elevate his draft standing. He’ll probably go in the second or early third.

Friday night SEC opponent and the stands are empty. Apathy has set in.

That’s what cracks me up when everyone says we care more about Baseball than Basketball. It’s because baseball is almost always good. When they are not, like this year and 2007, you get about the same % of empty seats as you do when basketball is bad.
