[quote]A standard mudding? That's interesting.[/quote] There was an interesting ESPN or Grantland short on it several years ago. It's a specific, special type of mud from this one guy's farm or something. EDIT -- not the specific video/article I was referring to above, but this is an SI...

[quote]Kate McKinnon, just with the Alien Abduction and Paranormal skits is right up there with the greats in my book.[/quote] Agreed. She's up there Hammond in terms of impressions and versatility. ...

[quote]If they have to go deep in their bullpen then look out (see 21-2 vs Arkansas).[/quote] Meh, they stopped giving a shite in Game 1 after it got to 7-1. They started putting in a bunch of empty calories guys who had barely seen action all year to eat innings, and they were basically throwing ...

[quote]Don’t buy people saying we couldn’t have done it in Omaha with this staff. We did it all year and did it in the SECT. [/quote] As others have said, that was a testament to coaching, bats getting hot at the right time in close games, and some luck. When you stop and think about it, it'...

[quote]DVH retires, Arkansas botches the search and hires the Chad Morris of baseball. That probably what is going to happen given the history. [/quote] Yep. We've had too much success and continuity over the last 50 years in baseball, so the sports gods are going to ensure that bull com...

[quote]Is Bishop still projected as a top round kid[/quote] Doubt he ever hits campus, honestly. ...

[quote]Goodheart gone Wallace back Slavens gone? Franklin gone Moore back Opitz gone, Leach starts? Smith gone Welch DH or? Battles gone? Nesbit gone Webb gone Gregory? Bates starter? [/quote] Next season looks to be rough unless DVH pulls a horseshoe out of his arse in r...

[quote]It was really sad to watch everyone else fizzle while he gutted it out today. GOAT baseball player for us.[/quote] Agreed. We can be furious about a lot of things, but tops for me is the fact that our lineup let Kopps down two days in a row (much moreso today obviously). He's been b...

[quote]I wonder if the performance today and 7 inning outing last weekend earned him some money. I know they say he doesn’t project well for the next level but he proved he can be a 100 plus pitch guy if need be[/quote] I understand him not being a can't miss fireballer like Rocker or Leiter, but...

[quote]Slavens hit 5 homers in SEC play and batted .284. Had 24 RBI’s which was 3rd on the team.[/quote] Like I said, it was a few weeks ago and I may have been misremembering the specific splits. I'll give him a pass in the postseason because he was coming back from injury. Like others have ...

[quote]Yeah but if not him, then who? DVH is paid to make these tough decisions, it's easy to throw out whatabouts after the fact. [/quote] I wasn't disagreeing with your point. I was relaying how badly our pitching has devolved in just a few short years. ...

[quote]Goodhart and Slavens just pissed me off damn near every at bat they had the last month of the season. Just hacking at shite every fricking time.[/quote] Not shitting on the kid, but Slavens' numbers were a bit misleading and largely empty calories against OOC/weekday opponents. Can't remembe...

[quote]That sounds like a recruiting and development problem.[/quote] In 2018 we had Blaine Knight, Isaiah Campbell and Kasey Murphy. Three seasons later we had Patrick Wicklander and literally no one else. Not giving DVH a pass by any stretch, but Hobbs can GTFO. ...

[quote]Losing Pallette was big, [b]but even if we had him, you still have to have more than three pitchers that can go more than 1 inning to win in Omaha.[/b] [/quote] Told my kid the same thing this past week. He was asking me who I thought would win the CWS and was taken aback when I said V...

Just build the damn statue already ...

[quote]Kopps was the goat this season. Wish we could have done more for him. He deserved it.[/quote]...

Not arguing that. We've absolutely played like shite yesterday and today. But yesterday was on DVH. We shouldn't have started Kopps today either, and instead gone with Wiggins and inserted Kopps for long relief if needed. I blame Hobbs for what's happened to our pitching staff, though. Our p...

[quote]Kopps played his arse off. 2 runs though 8 innings should have been enough.[/quote] Yep. It's a damn shame that our lineup had to get their asses bailed out by him as much as they have this season. This was bound to happen as much as we had to ride him. ...

Not a DVH hater by any stretch of the imagination, but this Super is on him. We were totally out-managed, and we would've won yesterday by at least a run if DVH doesn't pull Lockhart too early and leave Costy in too long. ...

[quote]Bats are dead[/quote] Our left handed batters look like 9 year olds playing up in 10U whenever they're facing southpaws. Either too scared to swing or hacking at every breaking ball. ...
