I think his name was Kenny Kleinpeter, but I could be wrong.

That’s correct. He’s my cousin. He was doing the games for something like only $35 per game. Just a little something to compensate him for his time. He mostly did it for the joy of being involved with LSU baseball. He was cut loose to save money in the budget.

Nice! Looks like he was dealing!

I guess Kansas State. I've had 3 cousins play for them over the years. The Bill Snider years were great for them. Still, for being a program located in the middle of nowhere, they always stay pretty competitive in football and basketball.

Yep!! Still here!

We have friends in Cuba. They are ecstatic! They see that their only real possibility of freedom is to have an American President that will NOT capitulate to their Communist Party. They also see that Trump has a sympathetic ear to the Cuban people as a whole, as he has paid good attention to the Cuban Americans in S. Florida.

and, Viva Cuba Libre!

A year before the draft Curiel was all but gone, don't know what the scouts didn't like to make him drop but this was huge to get him to campus

---

I don’t have a link, but I think I remember reading something along the lines of that the scouts wanted to see him add a little more muscle in the offseason between his Jr yr and Sr of HS. But I think he came in still looking thin… what the scouts thought might be a little physically underdeveloped, and that was their concern. But from what I remember, there wasn’t a concern about his play nor his other attributes. He didn’t regress at all as a hitter, fielder, speed, base runner, etc. Someone like Project could elaborate more. I don’t claim to be an expert in this area.


We were lucky to get him to campus though, and I think he’s already showing to overall be a pretty smooth player.

Yeah, I hear that there is a bar called “The Tool Box.”

I believe AA baseball is equivalent to SEC baseball.

AA is a completely different animal. I bring my kids to Pensacola Blue Wahoos games. Tanner Allen (from Miss. State) plays RF. If you remember, he was a hitting machine at Moo State. These past two seasons, his batting average has hovered around .220, and the Wahoos just released him about two weeks ago.

Jacob Berry also plays for the Wahoos. Just until recently, he was batting under .200. He's struggled a lot with pitch selection. I'm confident that he will figure it out, and he's already shown a lot more plate discipline this past month, but AA is a tough league.

About a month ago, we got to see Rhett Lowder (you know, the guy that was the pitching phenom at Wake Forest). Well, he was coming in with an ERA near 6, and he got rocked for something like 7 or 8 runs within the first 4 innings.

AA is pretty high level baseball. It really starts to separate the men from the boys.

I think you’ve been hitting too much of the ganja my friend. Tebow is third best of that bunch.

This doesn't answer your question directly, but I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of formation utilizing the 3 TEs. Say its 3rd and short or medium, and having two TEs, and then a third TE as sort-of the traditional "H-back" and putting them in motion (for various reasons). This could really stretch a defense with a threat to run, or have these TEs stressing the D to cover them in these situations.

Its fun to think about and discuss.
