What should be blatantly obvious now

I agree. The ingredients are there, now let's bake the damn cake.

Cake? I want a beef Wellington.**

TD Ameritrade dimensions could be a big asset for us. Keeps Arkansas and Vandy sluggers in the ball park.

Reducing the long ball makes us equal with those guys.

Probably Arkansas moreso than Vandy. The thing about Vandy to watch right now is to see if Rocker and Leiter are breaking down.

When we played for the Natty Title in '13, we were the better team. We had more power but not the pitching the UCLA had. They beat us in hitting with fundamental small ball and their pitching made up for lack of power. We were crushing balls that would've been out of ballparks anywhere else. The balls and the bats were different. We all know that. Dudy Noble is actually more like TD Ameritrade is than I think we realize. It has more foul territory in the infield but not in the outfield, just like the Dude. I want to say our guys can lay those hits in those narrow spots better than others. TD Ameritrade is bigger on purpose for sure, but not by much. It favors the right handed batter and not he left. At TD, right field plays deeper allowing balls hit that way to drop in more. My point being is that the hitters we got will be more prone to putting balls into play to advance runners instead of trying to muscle it out. Just like UCLA in '13. BUT we have some of the power to go with it to now that the balls and bats are different. Maybe I'm rambling and I've had some bourbons. Am I making any sense? What say you? Tell me to shut up if I'm dumb.

I did notice you were rambling but once you explained why, it made perfect sense! 🤣
