#1 in the Nation for a Reason

I'll be honest, after the beat down we received Friday, I thought we were going to have a long weekend ahead of us filled with heartbreak. It was anything but that. As far as Friday goes, the pitching in regulation was superb. Paul Skenes did Paul Skenes things pitching 7 full innings allowing 1 run, only his second on the year, keeping his ERA sub-1.00, and punching out a dozen Razorbacks. Chase Shores also wasn't abysmal, giving up 1 run in 2 innings of work, it was Christian Little that shocked me in extra innings. The Vandy transfer was tagged with 4 earned runs only recording a single out. And then Will Hellmers gives up 3 over 0.2. But it should not have even gotten to this point. In regulation, LSU had more than twice as many hits than Arkansas, but only had a single run to show for it. Two base running mistakes and a lot of bad hitting with runners on cursed LSU. The worst base running mistake was made by the third base coach hesitantly send Tre Morgan home on a wild pi...

MLB Draft Recap

Let me preface this blog with saying that as a biased Red Sox fan, this year's draft sucked. Not only did the Rangers take Jack Leiter at number 2 so we couldn't get him, but they also didn't take Kumar at 4. They did take the highest ranked prospect in this year's draft, high school shortstop Marcelo Mayer, so I can't be all that mad, but I would have liked for them to take a household name like Leiter or Kumar in the first round.  Jaden Hill was ranked number 36 in this year's draft and the Red Sox had the number 40 pick for the second round, so I had high hopes that they would finally take a pitcher. Long story short, they didn't; they took Florida outfielder Jud Fabian, again, not a bad pick, but not my favorite. Instead of going to the Red Sox, Hill went to my favorite National League team, the Colorado Rockies at 44 in the second round. At first glance, this is a good pick for me since I like the Rockies, but since he's a pitcher, he now has to dea...

Landon Gets the Quick Hook and Can't Lower His ERA to Sub 2.00

By

Have I mentioned how much I hate Paul? Well I do. He takes Landon out of the game after only 4 innings allowing 3 hits, 3 walks, and 1 unearned run with only about 60 pitches thrown. So who does he put in? Someone with a sub 4.00 ERA surely. Not exactly. He puts in Javen Coleman with a 7.32 ERA entering the game. He was able to lower his ERA to sub 7.00, but good ole Paul leaves him in just a bit too long. How long you ask? The same number of innings as Landon, the ace with a 2.15 ERA. Coleman was good for a while, but all good things must come to an end as he allows a homerun in the bottom of the 8th to give the Aggies the lead. And I'm not blaming Coleman. It wasn't his call to stay in the game for 4 innings when there are a bunch of other guys in the bullpen with lower ERAs. To name a few: Michael Fowler- 6.60, Trent Vietmeier- 4.85, Ty Floyd- 4.82, Jacob Hasty- 4.50, Devin Fontenot- 3.58, Garrett Edwards- 3.41, Theo Millas- 3.00. There was NO POINT in leaving him that long....
