Yep, this is the best spot our program has ever been in terms of consistent quality.Quote:

Put all the melt queens, spineless cheerleaders, fake insiders, and the i-am-a-rebel and dog fans on that list. Problem solved
I think worse than the melters will be all the bandwagon fans that never showed before - if we continue our hot streak and become #1 on some Poll. We have lots of Aggressive Soccer Mom types on this place. Gross.Quote:

I have been thinking about this too. I don't care if we lose a couple games in the regular season because of it, I want to have our guys healthy once regionals startQuote:

It?s a long season and lots of things can happen, but this may be The Year.
We are locked in on Fridays with Mac/Smith and Sims to close if needed.
Got to figure Saturdays will be Bednar/Koestler and Sims to close
Sunday will be Canadian Bacon/Fristoe/Wholestaff with Sims to close
Just an elite staff that will give us a chance to win nearly every game we play. There will be a couple of bad starts or relief appearances- but 90% of the time we will get a good outing from these tandem guys. It's a great feeling to have
This. I don't know that I've ever seen a staff this deep in college baseball. It's crazy the amount of quality arms we have.Quote:

The fact that Wholestaff includes guys like Preston Johnson and Stinnett is just ridiculous. Then add Houston Harding in once we hit the postseason. Absurd.Quote:

Looks like the rest of the way we will only have one midweek game if we have that.Quote:

Covid saved us "possibly" the following... stinnett, Johnson, tullar, fristoe, teppar and even an outside shot of Cade smith. I know all would have been drafted relatively high, top 10 rounds or so. I don't know the numbers it would have taken to sign them but it would have been cringe worthy.Quote:
