Is their coach claiming that they have had 12 draft picks in the last 10 years? (Aka minor league players)
No, I’m pretty sure he means MLB, a few recently made their debut this season. From the past 10 years, I count 9, so am missing 3:

Currently Active:
1 - John Means
2 - Alek Manoah
3 - Michael Grove
4 - Victor Scott
5 - Kade Strowd
6 - Ryan Berger

Active in Past 10 years:
7 - Jedd Gyorko

DIY Home Security
Get a few guns and have your wife take self defense classes. Take her to the gun range every few months, then go get Sushi after..at Ichibans. She’ll get the fruit roll every time, which you think is a waste of money, but it’s all worth it to protect the fam in case something pops off. Eventually she’ll ask for her own gun, but that part takes about a year.
Roughly 5% of bats carry rabies. I’d make sure the cat is vaccinated, or get rid of the cat. If you or your child gets rabies, from your cat, you’re dead. Not a risk you should be taking.
It’s been hot and dry around BR (I don’t know where you live), so depending on how much bleach you used (>10%) I’d be worried about killing your plants or grass.

Jay said this week the core of next years team is already here.
I hope he’s not being lied to like he was last year by Kling and Neal. Correct me if I’m wrong, but they told Jay they were staying only to enter their name in the portal soon after.

Also, has anyone transferred out of LSU twice before? Is Priester about to be the first?

I’m sure he already has. We can all hate on Nick Mingione, but it’s pretty well documented that he frequently helps out LSU through his friendship with Jay (and vice versa for Kentucky).
Those of you who stomached to watch last years super of WVU at UNC, you’ll remember a 5’9 senior starter Derek Clark for WVU who nearly pitched 150 pitches in that game.

Their current Friday night guy Griffin Kirn is also a (5th year) senior standing at 6’3 from the left side who will go over 100 pitches in all likelihood. Here’s the number of pitches in his last 5 starts:
- 113
- 77
- 127
- 129
- 118
He also closed out the 9th in their regional final on Sunday and threw 16 pitches. LSU needs to get to him early and elevate his pitch count the first time through the lineup.

Pointless to move it from 40% to 25% as the only % in the middle is 35. That combined with your factory glass vlt of ~70% you’re at 25% (or slightly under) with 35% film. 35% isn’t shite, so what was the point of this?

Wouldn’t the factory glass vlt (whatever that is) of 70% be included in the old 40%? I seriously don’t know what I’m talking about with window tinting, but you make it seem like it’s only a 5% difference instead of the 15%.
Van Cleve started 47 threads suggesting that LSU should have started Noot on Friday
Don’t give up, keep at it. I had some a few years ago that I was able to control with repeated applications of Quinclorac (in my Bermuda).

Then when it was a small enough patch, I used glyphosate to kill the rest knowing it would also kill my grass. It was worth it, I just plugged that area and the bermuda filled back in in a month or so.

Keep us updated on how’s it going.
I don’t think it’s set what bracket starts Supers (and Omaha) on Friday. The other side starts Saturday.

Digging a little deeper, it looks like there’s only 3 set Super sites as of end of play last night:
- Arkansas and UCLA on LSU’s side
- Auburn on the other side

I’m not sure how they determine what side of the bracket starts Friday, but both sides are pretty even with 3 games still to play today. Only two set Super matchups - one on each side (UTSA @ UCLA; Coastal @ Auburn).

WES recruits.(I know duh) but still I didn’t know. He goes out and finds hulks to hit the long ball
Gotta feed the trees!
For those smarter than me, I have three questions:

1 - The throw brought the catcher there, but he missed the ball. In those situations, the where the catcher doesn’t have time to move out of the base path after he misses the ball, is that automatic obstruction? Seems like it clearly is.

2 - Does the rule book state that the runner must slide? If so, then I could at least understand “malicious intent” if he didn’t slide and initiated contact (although it wasn’t malicious at all).

3 - If they rules both obstruction (which was clearly the case) and malicious intent, what happens now?

1B as in Jared Jones? I like it!
Yep, took about 20 minutes to spray. Covers 16k, so I only used a third of the bottle or so. Safe to spray on plants too, which is what I needed since that’s where we hang out. I obviously wouldn’t spray on vegetable gardens.
I sprayed OFF backyard bug control on my lawn a few weekends ago mainly to kill gnats and mosquitoes that are annoying. It says safe for dogs and children after it dries (probably even safe for them when it’s wet), but I was taking zero chances. Good reminder to be safe when you’re putting these chemicals down.

PS - That stuff worked much better than I anticipated. I’ll be buying again when I run out.
