And who are you again? I'm more frustrated with our baseball team than losing any "argument".
I'll mail you a Luke Reynolds jersey in the mail. Maybe he'll autograph it too.
As far as I'm concerned he's a quitter period. I don't give a shit if he's ****ing Barry Bonds. And I don't give a shit of he hits four home runs tomorrow- he is a quitter. He sucks.
Enjoy your "winning the argument" in your mind.
Todd you aren't making sense. Being cut is not "quitting". Was he cut, or did he chose to leave the team?
Well, maybe because there is a 35 man limit. If that wasn't in place, we're not having this discussion.
But AGAIN- here's the guys that MADE the team where he could have played:
1B- Nate Lowe. Plays for the Rays and a good hitter.
3B- Gavin Collins. Hit close to 10 home runs and is playing for the Indians now.
OF- Robson- One of the Tigers top 40 prospects.
OF- Mangum- Came out of nowhere and a top 100 draft prospect this year.
OF- Reid Humphreys- I guess you could platoon them except for the fact we needed Reid to close and if you take Reid out then you can't use him to pitch. Also hit better and drafted by the Rockies.
OF- Brent Rooker- First round pick. Had to get him in the lineup.
OF- Cody Brown- "But we could have used a LH bat"- that's what Cody Brown WAS for that team. And he brought a lot more to the table than Luke Reynolds at that time. Also plays with the Yankees now.
OF- Mike Smith- OK, maaayyybee. But since we already had a LH pinch hitter with some power it makes more sense to have someone that can defend and run and had a similar slugging percentage. He was also a senior without any options and cutting him would have been pretty shitty.
So, where does Luke Reynolds fit in the lineup? If Cohen ****ed up- then the other two coaches that went on to become SEC head coaches ****ed up too. And then when given the opportunity to take this all world player on their rebuilding SEC team- they PASSED again. What's more ****ed up is the 35 man limit. But it is what it is.
I'm actually not surprised that he has done well against us. I've seen it before- guy get cut, plays over his head to prove a point and then doesn't do much after that. Then our fans act like the guy is all world.
But yeah- all of you are right. Cutting Reynolds cost us the SEC....oh wait.....SR....OK last year it cost us that SR....
And as far as me "seeming like I pump everything up"- well you missed some of my posts yesterday. But that's cool- I tend to be positive in general.
He was cut from the 35 man roster. But like everyone else that gets cut from the 35 man roster they can chose to come back the next season and try to make the team. Instead of trying out for the team the next year he chose to leave.
So, some of both depending on how you look at it.
Personally, I think he probably would have made it had he decided to come back.
We're not playing this series if we have a completed ballpark. At least not where we're playing it.
Cann is very partial to USM because his Dad played baseball there. So, I'm not surprised that a weekend series this year and next year in Starkville is something he wanted to do.
We have a pitcher from some players from Florida committed- Carter Stewart and Mason Land. Cole Gordon is from Tampa. California we just haven't had a lot of luck getting players from there mainly due to distance- but we do have a commit from there named Cole Winn. Puerto Rican players are even less likely to make it to college because of demographics.
Our plan is to get the best players in Mississippi- see Ron Polk II as far as what happens if you don't, and then go to Memphis, Louisiana, and Alabama, and then the big population states like Georgia, Florida, Texas, and California.
We may see more players from the large population states under Cann but we'll see.
