    Wanna know why Samford is 6th in the NCAA in home runs?

    For the most part, all ballparks are gonna be 390-400 in CF and 330 down the lines. If you find a park where it's 315 in the corner then the field usually jets out quickly or has a big wall. The determination on whether a park is home run friendly is if the park is 365 or 375 in the gaps. That's...

    On Head to Head radio today....

    I met you at the pregame show last year. You were nice to me and were personable. Therefore I like you and defend you. Don't 17 it up.

    This is our STATE

    In January of 2010, our brethren from Oxford had 50 more tags on the road than we did. In April of this year, we had 68 more than them. That's a pretty good turnaround for a town that was always considered "Ole Miss Territory".

    16 year old gets 5 million signing bonus from Rangers...

    If the Rangers are spending 5 million on a 16 year old kid and then they sign their top 4 round guys......maybe Brandon Woodruff won't get what it takes for him to sign.

    UPig basketball bout to get some bad press- won't release Clark to transfer

    Ro and Diddy can run to the press all day knowing Arkansas can't comment on situation. Clarke must've wanted to go somewhere else in the league or somewhere close by. Or the other school was just being blatant and Anderson wasn't folding. He knows if the kid follows Pelphrey to Florida and he...

    Question for people who know something about baseball...

    He had pitched 3 innings. And in his last inning (5th) Smith laced a line drive that Bradford had to chase down. Fontana hit it hard in four-hole and Collins made a great play. Then Zunino and Tucker mashed back to back balls. We just so happened to make a great play and throw Zunino out at the...

    Parks now at a sparkling .419 avg. And not only that but leads team in...

    The Ferris Trophy is chosen differently than the Conerly and the Howell Awards. The voters are made up of 25 total voters consisting of coaches and major league scouts. And just one media vote. Be interesting to know who gets the media vote this year. To me, that's the only bad thing about...

    This just in: The LSU Baseball Team is absolutely awful

    This epic meltdown in the 8th inning really drives home the point we didn't catch any break with the schedule. We get freakin Vandy on the road and Ole Miss gets this bunch at home. Bat Cats about to be a big 0 for 10 on the road in the SEC this year.

    90% of this board doesn't understand baseball.

    Big difference in a straight SAC and a bunt for a base hit. Bunting for a hit is just like guessing on a fastball. And you know what, Parks guessed right. He had the 3rd baseman covering the bag and the pitcher covering. If that bunt's 2 feet closer to the line or bunted a little harder you've...

    GREAT FREAKIN WIN

    I said it all week. Just as long as we make it through the South Carolina series without digging too deep of a hole, I really like our chances.

    Tony Maners HATES us. He threw out Polk a lot.

    If you get a gig in the SEC in any type of officiating you're completely set for life. Jack Cox has been a terrible umpire forever. Hell I expect him to call the league championship game in Hoover.

    WTF

    From what I understand we use the same web company. Like we do with a lot of other schools. If we were playing a school that has a different company then we get no video at all. So when Georgia, Arkansas, and other teams that have the same company come to Dudy Noble, they get Jim on their video.

    This one is on Cohen

    No use in splitting hairs. In the end it's a crapshoot. You leave him in and get beat and you're too hardheaded to go to your CLOSER. You go to your CLOSER and they get a ball up in a 20 mph jet stream and you're an idiot for pulling your pitcher who's in a groove and thrown only 103 pitches and...

    This one is on Cohen

    I normally agree with you Todd and I really respect your baseball knowledge. But essentially in Stratton's mind frame he was essentially in a shutout. The guy threw 61 pitches the first 3 innings but only threw 41 pitches in innings 4-7. So you have your ace pitcher on the mound, he's in a...
