That?s stupid- must have a guaranteed to play in his contract

I don?t get that

Our NIL money went to Hancock, Hunt, and a little bit to Stinnett to get him back. Absolutely terrible decision making.

Why does that matter. If they're not performing I don't care how much NIL they get, they're on the bench. Hancock's inability to throw shouldn't be on Hines. If I'm Hines, I'm pissed.

Because it looks like Hines is trying to hit a HR every at bat and not doing shit at the plate and you can tell his defense is not very good. Hancock is hitting a little bit so far. There could be a good bit of red ass from returning players before this is over.

So you?re okay with giving NiL money to Hunt and not upping our offer to Skenes or any of the USM kids? Got it.

Are we facing a lhp today?

Hines has not been good so far at 1B.... we need Hancocks leadership today more than ever on the field.

Yeahhh I'm not getting that

Honestly, who even cares at this point. We should be able to hit every guy they have left. It's our pitching that we have to worry about.

Just wondering if Hines has rough splits

Who says he ?has? leadership? Having to beg someone to not retire to come play one more does not sound like someone that leads

We basically did that when we gave him that stupid ass Captain C. He needs a PH. Because that is all he needs to be doing.

That's not what I'm saying. If a player isn't performing he should sit, IDGAF who it is or how much NIL he's getting.

I agree. That was not wise use of funds.

Well got out of that inning with only giving up 1 run so far/

Terrible jersey combo today

Alford with a nice line drive for our 1st hit.

Don’t mind the black jerseys or the white pants, but damn the white hats with maroon bills really kill the look. If we wanted to wear white hats then go all white.
