    Worst ref call in State history (topic from the pay board)...

    No phantom holding in Tuscaloosa in ‘99? Disappointed we got this far without at least a mention.

    Television viewer numbers for NCAA sports

    Some numbers are a little off there. 2026 CWS averaged 1.4 million, and WCWS had 1.6 million. Baseball had its most-watched regular season since 2016, and softball most since 2009 (up 78%! over 2025).

    This US Open is Zzzzzzzzzzz.

    I put it on in the background yesterday while my attention was elsewhere, and I swear every few minutes you'd hear an announcer say, "Uh oh." I'm guessing the wind settled down?

    Ace's Replacement Arrives

    Surpasses several, actually: 77 hits, 13 doubles, 2 triples, 27 home runs, 90 walks, and 66 strikeouts. So slightly short on hits, short on doubles, and slightly more K's. Obviously competition level will put a dent in all of those, but experience will offset some. Honestly, I imagine we'd all...

    OT: because nobody loves data like SPS…

    Having kept an eye on home prices in my area recently, I can say that existing suburban Birmingham generally isn't seeing that 41% number. I know Huntsville is hot, but I doubt it's enough to pull a statewide number up that high. I've seen ~20% as a cap on existing homes around here, and some...

    BOC is off and runnng with two big pickups....

    From my perspective, once he got healthy he was a serviceable SEC-level catcher. Then there's the reality that if you just DH him for a full season, he's least a .238, 20+ homer guy. His HR/AB numbers are on par with Ace, and that was with the wear and tear of catching... I don't see how the...

    What's your portal strategy for baseball?

    1. Closer who throws strikes (aka low walks, don't care as much if the outs are Ks). Looking for guys who can give me 3-4 innings in a weekend, with a slant towards showing they can handle at least two appearances in that window. 2. Two Corner IFs and at least one OF with at least one big...

    T&L Hadad's reports that his sources say Stone starts game 2..........

    2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament off and running!.. Day 1

    Tennessee-ECU has some quality pitches being thrown. When I checked in on Liberty-BC, the BC guy looked off kilter. ETA: UT hits a homer as I type this.

    Mercer

    Right. The time to correct shorting NC State was 2022, when they should've been in instead of UM. Would've saved us all from the least-deserving national champion in sport history.

    Topic from T&L - Where do you rank the Oklahoma softball win?

    So around 2 decades ago I stumbled across a historical baseball society that was selecting/had selected national title winners from prior to 1947. State and Penn State were listed for 1909. I got in contact with the president, and had a discussion of how we ended up on their list. Turns out he...

    Sorry, typo. Thanks.

    Call your shot - Regional upsets

    Assuming 6, from most likely to least: Kansas Nebraska USM Oregon Texas (due to rumors of pitching injuries) UNC (if Tennessee holds the ace) Also considered WVU, but I think they got a great draw for a 16-seed, plus TAMU because I think their pitching injuries may bite them. However, while...

    Mercer

    Alford specifically called out that Mercer had plenty of opportunities to schedule tougher teams in their region. I suspect this was indeed a shot across the bow of teams gaming RPI. USC received a similar message. Not sure I'd have left them out, but he did speak to it.
