So many fans just dont understand baseball. It's frustrating.Quote:

I'm not sure how sustainable Wake Forest is over the long term. It's only a matter of time before Muscara gets a HC job and then they'll have to find someone equally as good to replace him. And when he leaves he'll probably take most of their pitching analytics people with him.Quote:

Oh I agree I was just making the point that there's a whole lot of programs out there with the same stuff we have, but we do have the BEST stadium!Quote:

The stadium, our fans and the atmosphere, there's nothing else like it in college baseball.Quote:

THIS all day. NIL is changing baseball also. They may not have the 5K fans watching them play- but if a school will pay? They will go there.Quote:

I agree we're not poor and I know about where we are at as well. While baseball players are different 95% are still going where the money is, it's why they're so many transfers, the money. Lsu bought a nc last year by buying skenes and Tommy white among others, nil is a huge deal more so than anything. Go hang out at some of the big summer tournaments and that's just about all these kids are talking about is how much nil they're getting offered. Things have changed big time even in baseball. I 100% agree that we should be in regionals pretty much every year and hosting at least every couple. We have work to do on the field and let's hope this season is better than the last 2! You're a good Dawg Base and I always appreciate your opinion!Quote:
