What?s up with Auburn?s chunky first baseman ? (I haven?t paid attention this year) Wouldn?t he be more athletic if he lost some weight?
EDIT: Auburn?s starter couldn?t get out of the first inning.

He's a great player, all SEC and All American quality. Wanted to be an MSU Bulldog but MSU did not want him.Quote:

Btw, team who wins first game in Super Regionals is 80% to take series.
That chunky first baseman almost hit .400 this year and just hit his 21st HR. He wanted to transfer to us last year, but we told him no.Quote:

This is missing context. He did not have these kind of stats when we turned him downQuote:

We've taken transfers who have produced far less prior to coming here.
It was a mistake not to take him. Now if you argue that we didn't really have a team need for his position, that's a different argument.
But statistically, there's plenty of context.
41 HRs in SoCon and about the same per-season run production as RJ Yeager, also from the SoConQuote:

ESPN interviewer says that SEC strike zones are tighter, so DiChiara only swings at preferred pitches at Auburn. That's his secret to a 400 average and leading the SEC in Walks
Would've been great to have Sonny and hindsight is always 20/20 but we already had a 1B and With Hines coming in as a 1B/DH I'm sure the staff figured we had needs at other positions instead of carrying 3 guys that could only play 1B or DH. As I said hindsight is always great.
What?Quote:

Because too many of our fans only really care about how we do compared to Ole Miss. Thise are the same people who say "if Leach goes 8-4 but loses to OM again, we should fire him because you can't lose to them 3 in a row!"Quote:

The UConn vs Stanford game was nuts......
How do you score 12 runs in the first game of your super regional and still lose? To an unranked team no less that had to travel all the way across the country to play.Quote:
