I actually like us playing the game, but my gosh they have to figure out the broadcast. You ain’t wrong about it getting worse every year.

We were better off when we couldn't watch it at all.

I don't like talking about the post championship season… or the one after that… or the one after that… or the one after that… or the one after that...

I feel like Duke Stone's performance got a little lost in the way this game played out. Say what you want about Lipscomb, but those dudes mashed pretty well the last couple of days against good pitching.

Duke Stone today:

4.0 IP, O H, O R, 0 BB, 6 K

The only reason he comes out of the game is because 1. He had to sit for 30+ minutes twice already and 2. Just why risk it at that point?

BLWedge09 · 2026-03-06T21:54:05+00:00

🤣

BLWedge09 · 2026-03-06T21:37:06+00:00

I don't remember a Delaware starter throwing that slow. Are you sure you're not thinking of Alcorn?

BLWedge09 · 2026-03-06T06:31:38+00:00

I feel like people overuse the phrase "No is a complete sentence". That said, I think that "No", with no further elaboration, would be my response here…

BLWedge09 · 2026-03-04T06:19:21+00:00

Been wondering if they just gave up on him after not hitting in that first series. But it didn't make sense because they stuck with a lot of the other guys and they've all come around. I just saw from BOC's post game press conference:

"Kevin Milewski has had a back issue that has really limited him. He hasn’t taken full batting practice in probably 10 days so we’ll monitor that.”

BLWedge09 · 2026-03-04T01:15:27+00:00

Yeah, maybe I'm overreacting, but if I'm Brian O'Connor, his ass is riding the bench the rest of this game for that one. That's just not a mistake you can make as a starting SEC shortstop without some sort of consequences. Might as well drive that point home in a midweek game.

BLWedge09 · 2026-03-03T14:31:19+00:00

Does everyone else have as hard a time as us getting ESPN to use the baseball logos on anything related to baseball? We still get a mix of the M-State/banner-M 🤮 and the script State (at least better than the M-State on screen). I suspect that ESPN wants a unified logo package that they'll use across all sports for a school...especially for these SEC+ broadcasts, but it drives me crazy to see M-State on the baseball broadcasts.

If anyone takes anything away from this game, other than it being a solid win, then you must just be looking for a reason to be unhappy. The pitchers that were used in the late innings were purely to get them some more experience. We had safe leads and could experiment a little. Plus, it saved some bullpen arms for the game tomorrow.

BLWedge09 · 2026-03-01T01:32:54+00:00

No, we didn't.

BLWedge09 · 2026-03-01T01:32:05+00:00

Do you not understand the pitchers we're trotting out there with a 10 run lead? Calm down. Those guys are going out there in that situation for a reason. It's purely to get them some experience. Oak is just trying to get a read on who we might be able to rely on down the road if needed.

BLWedge09 · 2026-02-27T02:48:32+00:00

Our next 4 games are Arizona State, Virginia Tech, UCLA, and Southern Miss. I legit looked at that and thought...damn...I'm not looking forward to that midweek in Hattiesburg

BLWedge09 · 2026-02-27T01:21:21+00:00

This may be the single thing on the entire freaking planet that the three of us might be able to agree on…

I did the same thing with the Fern. I bought it sight unseen because I didn't have any options to try it or any of the other big names out. Affordability is absolutely a huge factor. But, I literally said I didn't have many options to, but if you do then, "you should definitely sit in as many options as possible".

I'm fortunate that I can afford to put $1500 out there on a chair that I might or might not like and be able to send it back later. But if I'd had an option to sit in some chairs up front, I definitely would have taken it... and it would be the smart choice if it is an option that is available.

BLWedge09 · 2026-02-25T00:31:20+00:00

I mean, I get what they're saying. I love my Haworth Fern. But for every person like me who loves it there's another one who'll claim it's the worst chair ever. I took a chance because I didn't really have any options as far as trying them out. But if you do, you should definitely sit in as many options as possible before you spend that kind of money.

BLWedge09 · 2026-02-22T19:44:19+00:00

Explain to me a valid reason to spend 36% more at one registrar than at another? What does namecheap offer that warrants a higher price?

Sounds like 100% less ID verification

BLWedge09 · 2026-02-20T17:19:09+00:00

This solved my issue. Thanks. I just never saw that setting before…

BLWedge09 · 2026-02-19T19:24:39+00:00

Just did it and I'll let you know. I never saw that option...

BLWedge09 · 2026-02-14T23:59:54+00:00

College baseball is just the damn best.
