Bianco was Bush League instructing the infield not be covered with a tarp so we couldn’t take infield practice on Thursday. Grass and dirt infields are so different than artificial turf.

The groundskeeper not waiting 3 min for our team to finish their handshakes after Friday’s win and telling our kids to move from the mound was really Bush League. I bet CTV gave them a piece of his mind….

The whole weekend was Bush league. Their fans cheering for hit batters. The tarp theatrics and the grounds crew afterwards. So much for southern hospitality.

As bad as some say our fans are, I’ve never seen a post like this on VN in the baseball forum. I’ve mentioned it before, stop with the collective mindset of the fanbase and realize there are folks on every team that have bad things to say. People venting on a message board are just using it for what it’s for. Put someone on ignore if you don’t like what they say. I choose not to go overboard, but there will always be a few that do.

Stull here, too, in Northwood Lake.
Always figured I would I would be living in Fort Morgan or St. Louis at this stage in life even though Mrs AV is native Alabamian. We do hope to move.

It WONT BE to an area assisted living

After watching the games over the weekend and seeing the continued struggles of Dean throwing to 1B from any position he's playing, it may me wonder if we would be better off with Dean at 1B and Andrew at 3B. I realize Andrew has really been solid at 1B, but he came here to play 3B. Would this make any sense?

Rebels rally but can't close series against Tennessee

Ole Miss is 9-6 in the SEC at the halfway point of league play.
olemiss.rivals.com olemiss.rivals.com

The Rebels are good enough on offense to get there, but days like this one put a spotlight on the nervy pitching situation. Ole Miss got 13 total innings out of its three starters, forcing 14 bullpen innings. It was one too many.

Hunter Elliott lasted just four innings on Friday, and Mason Morris saved the rest of the relievers with an elite five-inning outing. Riley Maddox went five and did every bit of his job in an Ole Miss win on Saturday.

Mason Nichols pitched well on Sunday, giving up only one earned run in four frames, but he didn’t come out for the fifth after only 61 pitches.

“When you try to draw it up, we were hopeful to get through four and just watching him and the lineup flipping over, it felt like the right time to go to the pen,” Mike Bianco said. “Obviously it wasn’t a very good bullpen day for us.

“We lacked outs. We knew it was a day, with Spencer unavailable, we’d have to piecemeal it together. We had some good guys but wasn’t their day.”

Walker Hooks yielded four hits and five runs in getting just three outs, and things unraveled after Dennis retired seven of the eight batters he faced prior to that ninth-inning walk.

Closer Connor Spencer wasn’t available after finishing off the one Ole Miss win of the weekend. Bianco said that left Jones as the next-best option, and he struggled for the third consecutive appearance.

Jones has allowed 12 of the last 15 batters to reach base, with that spread over those three different days.

“I don’t know (what’s been different the last three outings,” Bianco said about Jones. “I wish I had the answer. Just got to run him through it. One thing is he was up and down several times yesterday and didn’t want that to happen today. We weren’t sure when to shoot that bullet. We had the bullet ready and needed to go. He’s our best guy to go to. He’s just having a tough stretch here.”

@MAD knows this probably better than me ... but they are the first team ever to win (series) against the #1 team in true road games twice in a season (hope I did not mess that up too bad)

Is this what you were talking about?
I think in 2022 the Basevols knocked off two #1’s in Ole Miss and Vandy both on the road.
