Mathematically, we can still get to 5th, if LSU goes 6-0 and about 20 other games go perfectly :lol:

Realistically, 11th.

A 10+mph wind in from RF would be nice for Schmidt, his fastball induces a lot of pop outs. I’ll still take the 3MPH in from RF though.

Ruckert bout to eat
Ruckert hitting his first LSU homer at UGA this weekend. Will be to take the lead late.
LSU’s resume will look a whole heck of a lot better with series victories over UGA and UF. Their RPIs are strong.
LSU is currently at 9 SEC Wins. If LSU catches OM or OU who are at 12, we probably would have done enough to get in with a positive showing in Hoover so I’m excluding them.

Kentucky and Tennessee are at 11, and we have H2H advantage over both. LSU catching them in the SEC standings is probably better than any RPI boost they’d give us. So root for them to lose.

Vanderbilt is at 10, but have the H2H over LSU. So you can probably consider them with Tennessee and Kentucky.

TLDR: I’m rooting for Kentucky, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt to all lose and for anyone else LSU played to win. If LSU can win 2 more SEC games than those 3, we would be sitting at 11th in the SEC.

Wow, typing out that we are hoping for 11th is so bad. This year has sucked.
Sounds like he has a trustworthy bank that is actually following procedures to protect his assets.
Being a TD admin sucks having to read stuff posted retards.

I do get a new hamster wheel to run on every year though :pimp:
I’m with you 100% on Harden. He smokes the ball when he makes contact too, just an extreme pull hitter.

Wish he would have gotten more play earlier in the season. It just wasn’t happening with the outfield we had and when Stanfield was out to start the year, we didn’t know if Yorke was in a slump or if he couldn’t adjust to SEC pitching. So he kept Yorke in, and played Braun in LF.

Don’t want to hate on any LSU player, but it’s kind of wild how much Yorke hurt this team. Harden could have figured it out and be a key piece..
quote:

everyone killing Yorke when he’s got a higher OB%, higher slug, more walks, more HBPs, and more runs scored
Surprised it’s been this long and no one’s specifically mentioned productive ABs.

Yamin and Harden strike out too much, and don’t see enough pitches to draw walks.

Yorke pops up too much and when he hits a ground ball to an infielder, it’s a double play 90% of the time when there’s a runner on 1st with < 2 outs.

I know this late in the season that Braun is not really a Freshman anymore, but I’m still not messing with him. Keep him at 1B and at leadoff. So Yorke is completely out of the question at this point.

If anything, Reaves can add 10 pitches to the opponents pitch count over the course of a game over the other options. May not seem like much, but it’s something. He’s at least making the pitcher work for an out, I’m not going to complain about that for a 9 hole hitter on this team, this year.

I use Man-O-War, but yea same stuff. Marine labeled for maximum UV protection.

You should still re-seal every year, especially if your columns face south. I sand and re-seal every Spring after they’ve been beaten by full sun all winter. The sun is higher in the sky in the summer so they’re mostly shaded.

Don’t keep much in my savings with Cap1, but I do keep my emergency fund in my E*trade account, it’s at 3.25%. I wouldn’t stress about trying to scrape out an extra $100/year or so by moving from Bank to Bank.
Give me all the Louisiana 3 stars. Blue chip ratio is a farce now that Indiana won the natty at 8%

Same, I missed a jury duty summons that was mailed to my apparent from which I had recently moved. Once I became aware I attended jury duty and they said they’d remove it, but it’s a Government employee, so who knows if I’m still in the database or not.

Long term, you’ll learn to live with it.

If it’s a small enough patch, I’d go ahead and nuke the area and re-sod or plug as others have mentioned. Then mow low, as the hybrid tolerates lower HOC much better than the common.

Don’t skip pre-emergent windows, because the common has viable seeds that lay dormant in the soil. It’ll come back eventually though.

What would you call it? I didn’t say they were good, but also wouldn’t say they’re bad.

Southeastern has won 30 games, in first in their conference. Regional team most years.

South Carolina is an SEC team. A bad SEC team, but not bad in the NCAA.

Slow your roll my dude
So LSU is not playing well? I thought they played very well this week, going 4-0 with ease against decent competition.
quote:

He hasn't thrown a bullpen yet. Only flat ground. To me that implies Florida at the absolute earliest. And that's if he actually throws a bullpen this week. Safe bet is still 2027.
Does he need 2-3 bullpen sessions from the mound to get back to his normal starter routine? What if he throws 1 bullpen session this week, would that allow him to come in as a reliever for 3-4 innings?

What makes you think he’ll be shut down for the season?

Under normal circumstances, yes. But Saturdays against UGA has been the most difficult SEC game this season. Do you ignore this and go for it, or would it be smart to hold your bullets for Sunday?

No, but Jay’s pressers have alluded to him returning this weekend. I haven’t watched yesterday’s presser so I could be missing the most up to date information.

Jay has also been extremely misleading (not saying he’s lying, injuries are tricky) with pitching injuries in the past, so who knows.
