Do those socks look like slightly fancier little league socks to anyone else? As in, one piece, and not the standard sanitaries and stirrups separate? Looks super goofy to me. I hope if they're going with a stirrup look they actually wear stirrups.... and please don't mix grey with white. I like...

So now I've done a tiny bit of research and I'm still not sure how all this works. This link gives a good breakdown of salaries at the various levels of the minor leagues. There is a separate minimum for players in the minors on the 40 man as opposed to big leaguers. I assume Zack made 507k...

1. Wrong thread. 2. I don't really know how this stuff works, but some guys have big league contracts and some guys have minor league contracts. The guy who Zac(k) filled in for (I assume) has one of those big league contracts. Zack has a minor league contract. My guess is that that guy makes...

Yep. I feel the same way. Not about Toles especially, but I didn't expect to see Godley in the bigs. I'm not surprised that he's there, and really not that he's doing so well. I'm just so freaking impressed that he's been able to do it. I have watched a lot of college baseball and I cannot say...

God I hope not. We have created a very attractive aesthetic (considering what we had to work with). The traditional stirrups need to stay, unless we go with full length pants this year. These socks are not going to cut it. Granted, the promo pics didn't even have the guys wearing...

Whoa. I would say thats totally insane and not happening, if 1) I didn't think he could do it and 2) It wasn't possibly the only job he'd even consider outside of Vandy. You can't just send an outright 'No' to a job like that, but all in all, I think he's got such a good gig going in Nashville...

He can't hit a breaking ball to save his life. He might survive if he wore a disguise and played for a different team ever game of the year. Not in this day and age of scouting reports. Certainly not in the SEC. He hit several homeruns as a freshman. Absolutely crushed them too.... Then...

Awesome. Thanks! I'll buy you a beer, but I'm not sure how jail works. I assume you can't pass beers through. Also, I have wondered the entire second half about AJ coming back. I see a big upside for it. He has that "thing" where scouts loved him in high school, so he just has to give them...

I doubt they have the resources to find every instance of copy paste going on anyways, but I used to copy paste from Aaron's paid stuff on BA and I would always try to just paste as little as possible to get the point across. I'm not currently a subscriber to D1, so I'd be interested in the...

WOW! We got arms now, boys!

It just hit me today how our conference record is skewed due to the fact that we have played 75% of our games on the road. We are in actuality only one game behind the standard SEC formula for .500 ball: Win at home, avoid sweeps on the road. We have avoided sweeps at Florida and at Vandy, two...

Great post. Thanks for coming out.

I want to say that we had 10 or 11 games last year on TV. I also want to say that I heard that this will be another record breaking year for regular season TV coverage across all of college baseball, so at a minimum I would guess we at least match last year. The only games shown on the...

Here goes a thread getting hi-jacked. Anyways I am super excited about the Nike contract. As a former pitcher, I really like the Nike gloves as well. UNC, UGA etc. always had sexy color matched gloves with the school logo sewn on. I have never owned a Nike glove, but after being forced to wear...

Okay, I guess I'll post this since no one else has yet... Kyle Serrano will be out for 6-8 weeks with broken ankle and a contusion in the other. According to his father, via Kendall Rogers, he was thrown off a four wheeler while riding as a passenger.
