The preseason rankings are coming out. No surprise that Baseball America has 3 SEC teams ranked 1-2-3: Texas, Vanderbilt, Miss. State in that order. Surprisingly, Notre Dame is #4. Baseball America preseason poll features 8 SEC teams in top 25
Certainly hope that the Irish have another great season, Link Jarrett has clearly made a difference and I hope that ND will take care to make sure sure he has the resources to want to stay at ND. Maybe we can build a program something like Vanderbilt.
A new era begins for the Aggies with Jim Schlossnagle taking over the program. Doubt we'll be relevant this season during the rebuild, but you never know with the portal.
The Aggies made quick work of Fordham 13-1 to open the season - not a surprise there. Still a lot to learn about this team, but one thing I know: 3rd baseman Trevor Werner is a baller! Made several bad-ass defensive plays that really showed off a great glove and his howitzer of an arm. Hope springs eternal...
Illini defeat Michigan State in East Lansing 79-74. Illinois led the entire game, but MSU made a big run near games end.
Is Connor Wegman going to play this spring? He might be a better baseball player than a football player.
Well... after some early struggles with the bullpen for this new team and staff, they picked a good time to get things figured out. The Aggies have taken the first two games from L$U with the final tomorrow. Whatever happens the rest of the way, Jim Schlossnagle has my full support for winning the series over the Bayou Bumpkins at their place! (Can I get a broom for icing on the cake?!?!)
Purdue not ranked in the top 25 but do have a 15-1 record. Not sure of the quality of competition. Big 10 season gets underway next Friday.
Texas pitcher forgets there is a game going on and is focused on his shoe or something, certainly not in the game.
Purdue 18-1. Still no love in the rankings. Beat Ohio State Friday but Sat and Sunday games weathered out. B1G weather.
Take the wins and run Stu! The Aggie bullpen implodes again and the Ags lose the rubber match with Auburn in spite of a scoring 9 runs. We have some glaring holes in the roster so this is definitely going to take more than one season for the rebuild.
Holy shiznit! I knew Georgia had some depth issues in their pitching, but wow. The Aggies just dropped 23 on them in Athens to take the series 2-1. We are still a flawed team, but starting to look more like they can at least get to the tournament.
Irish have been an pretty up and down team, Swept top 5 FSU, then get swept by Clemson not a top 5 team! I think we're a very good but not a great CWS team right now.
