Mississippi State, who looked so uneven last weekend, just hammered a quality Southern Miss pitching staff tonight. I still have no idea what to think about the Bulldogs but that’s a good sign

Went into the offseason expecting Trey Smith but got Joe Thuney instead. I’ll take that deal

You are not going to believe who hurt their back dead lifting today

Watching Arizona - TAMU and I wanted to look back at Collin McKinney’s first start against Ole Miss; I came away with more questions than answers because what the hell is this

Called strike btw

I can’t wait for the first regular season strikeout looking overturned by ABS just for the batter to strike out swinging the very next pitch

Spring Training has started. Come listen to us not talk about Spring Training. open.spotify.com/episode/4Vxf...

I think it’s time for a three batter minimum in college baseball

Virginia Tech’s Sam Tackett launched a ball that went 499 feet. 114mph off the bat. Insane.

Greg felt so vindicated last night on how well Clemson has been playing in Arlington; won a close one against Oklahoma State and killed Arizona. They’re currently down 15-5 to Ole Miss. They’ll be alright, we see this sometimes in tournaments like this but quite the pull back to reality.

I’m glad we didn’t do Duke - Cincinnati for our weekend picks because I would have been wrong. Duke’s pitching didn’t look ready this weekend and Cincinnati just put nonstop pressure on the Blue Devils’ defense all weekend long

Louisville might not have the power to bludgeon you to death, but damn does that lineup grind out at bats and hit line drives

Shaky camera? Capitalization issue with UConn on the scorebug? Matt Joyce in the booth? Yeah, college baseball is back.

I was really looking forward to seeing what Abeldt looked like in a starters role. Let’s hope Kole Klecker can bounce back, that rotation is going to need it

So is Eric Dixon a legitimate NBA prospect?

Greg and I had a really good conversation about the salary cap and what it would and would not mean for baseball

Georgia is winning the SEC

The amount of time taken for reviews at the end of SEC games this season is embarrassing

We talk UCF, Arizona, and a bunch of teams that probably won’t make the tournament. Final standings picks, awards, and debating the difference between probably and statistical significance

The dataset is incomplete Greg, there’s still time

Can the Pokes continue their pitching success from 2024? Does Arizona State actually have a staff to carry the offense? Can KU pitch their way to a regional berth? Can I read off a document without sounding like an ass? All that and more on Part 1 of our Big 12 preview
