Good analogy. Games have been subpar, even by first round standards. Right now, though, Oakland is lighting it up from 3-point range against Kentucky.

Yes Kentucky is bad…Sec baseball is on…Ark up 1-0 on Auburn

There is something to say about baseball getting so expensive that Americans who could’ve been great just chose to play basketball or football instead.

Bats were $150 or so when I played. High, but not insane. They’re $400+ now. Ridiculous. Being left handed, my gloves were more expensive too lol. I have no idea what handedness had to do with pricing but whatever

C-Lo, I just bought 2 growing boys new baseball gear and you don’t even want to know what it cost! Hell, one of them is only 5! And the 11 year old now wears a men’s size 11!!

The sad thing is they are growing so fast, we have to do this every year.
I had to get the 11 year old new stuff just from fall to spring, he’s growing so fast!!

I haven’t played in over a decade but when my daughter was born I preemptively looked at everything I’d need for her to play softball in 5 years. It’s insane. You have to truly love the sport, and pray your kids do too, to play it nowadays.

I even thanked my dad afterwards because I had no clue it cost so much

Hahahaha Kentucky….out of bounds..,hahahaha

Will Wade’s McNeese team is getting the business tonight from Gonzaga. Down 48-25 at halftime. But I thought everyone in the media said THIS McNeese team was LIVE and nobody wanted to play them??? Gonzaga is showing them what a real team is. Must be hard to win without those “strong ass offers”

Btw don’t look now but Gonzaga is about to be 15-2 in their last 17 games. Starting to look like they will be the team to put Purdoo out earlier than expected this year.

If we get past the peacocks, we will run this longhorn team!!

Eh I don’t care. Hogs will probably end up losing the game due to a below average offense. They have the pitching but they don’t have the hitting imo. 10th in the conference in hitting, 11th in home runs, dead last in hits, triples, next to last in slugging, OBP, runs, RBI, doubles. Sooner or later they are going to have to hit. They can’t just rely on that pitching all year.

Just reporting on his great outing…not the team…he is a damn good pitcher

Neither of these scare me. And imo I think we smoke the Peacocks. Our defense is about to put the clamps on them and Knecht is about to put on a freaking show!

That may be the case but they won’t make it to the Supers with that offense. They can enjoy him once a week while we make a deep run

I never rule out any Sec team if they host regionals…even a mediocre Kentucky made it out of regionals hosting last year…they could possibly navigate all the way to the CWS…but they would have no shot of winning it with these offensive performances

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Let’s go Golden Grizzlies!!

 

[volplaya8]

12K’s for Smith and his night is over….3rd time this year with 12 plus K’s…rest of Sec has combined for 12 K’s only four times

Maybe the best in the country.
