I'm certain you'll need the Apple subscription, however you do that. Free trial or maybe you've already got it. I don't think it's much,but I'm not sure how to do the FloSports app that we'll need too.
Anybody??
You can do a 7 day free trial with Apple +
It's 9.99 if you've had it before. I'm in the process of trying to get my subscription back so I can try to watch this thing. Did you download Flosports app?
Roster? Who knows
How much for that flosports subscription? I am able to cast flosports to my TV I think after I get subscription. I don't think I need Apple +
Okay I'm starting to figure this out. Any help for this old boomer is appreciated 
I think all you need is the flosports app which comes with a subscription. I'm going to chast from my phone to the TV. I'm seeing a 5 day free trial and then 59.99 after that.
I'm going to wait until Thursday to activate the subscription free trial and then cancel Sunday night or Monday.
I was confused about Apple TV + and an Apple TV, which aren't the same thing. You shouldn't need Apple Tv+ to watch with the FloSports app and subscription.
Clear as mud,right?

Yeah,I got the Apple TV device,which you don't need, confused with the Apple TV app that you can stream. You don't need either,but if you've got AN Apple tv you can download the FloSports app on it.
Otherwise, you'll have to do it thru a firestick,roku or Chromecast it from another device.
Mac is notorious for finalizing the roster up to the last second. He does it every year.
Oh yeah, lots of options all over. There are 3-4 guys who will likely be cemented in the batting rotation and those other 5-6 will be whoever is producing. The outfield is 2 deep if we throw the Freshmen in.
Crain is an outstanding Freshman center fielder who likely will be in the mix next season. Lippe will get his swings,but he may have to take his chance when he gets it and run with it. He's also outstanding running balls down out there.
Shiver is probably the next guy up at either 2nd or short, Baycot at 3rd and Early at 1st.
Tagger Tyson looks to be Klein's replacement at catcher,with Klein possibly sliding into the dh role on his days off.
That's it. I'm probably not gonna be right on all these things,but I feel comfortable with the 2 deep.
Let's play ball!!
Thanks! I am curious to see if Klein would be behind the plate.Alicea-ss

If I had to venture a guess
Can't wait..
I had heard that Tyson was ready to go into the portal last summer until Vierling did so. Tyson has impressed me in Fall ball,but I think Klein is the guy right now.
I see you have Davis at 1B and Munroe at 3B. I wasn't able to see any of the fall scrimmages and workouts but what are your thoughts about Early at 1st and Hot at 3rd?Alicea-ss

I think they're backing up those spots. I could be wrong and it could be the other way around. I think Mac will try to get the best hitting 9 out there. Early and Hot will likely get swings if they're not starting Friday .
My hunch is the Freshman phenom Davis and Munroe. I guess we'll see Friday night.
After seeing Demling's article on depth chart,I'm gonna change it up a bit. I didn't see Hot play 2nd at all in the Fall,but he's listed #1 on the depth chart at 2nd.Alicea-ss

Just another possible opening day lineup. This one bumps Pike and Neighbors.
Do you have to let pitchers face 3 hitters now in college too? Stark doesn’t look like he’d be competitive against a high school JV team right now and we just leave him in to walk guys and get shelled. I just don’t get it
Very frustrating. When you know, you know. I guess Mac has to see how they respond to adversity. Not a good look to immediately pull a kid, but like I said, WYKYK.
I am no Psychologist, but I do not believe letting a kid like Stark fail so badly results in anything positive; in fact, I suspect he has to be questioning his own ability to compete at this level, after such a disappointing performance.
After watching Roger Williams these last 3 years or so, I have seen this scenario play out way too many times; specifically sending in a reliever who clearly has no control of his pitches. Somewhere between the bullpen and the mound, Williams should have some clue as to whether the kid can find the strike zone.

I agree. Here is what is weird they keep saying they have a lot of arm talent. I don’t see it. Their recruiting or approach to building a pitching staff since Covid has been awful.
Stark has a fastball at 88-89 if he can’t find hit spots he will get can’t pitch for many D1 teams. I was hoping the weight program got him in the 92-93 range this year. Probably needs a red shirt to get bigger. Here is the problem for me. They were in the game and that is the moment you go with him. Risk reward. A lot risk with that move in the spot. If Stark is their plan for mid relief good luck. He has to have Maddox like control to be affective.
We will see, could be just a bad day against a really good offensive team.
