hrubes20 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 4 hours ago, THE DUKE said: MLB Pipeline Mock draft from Jim Callis. Man, this draft hurts as the Reds lost 100 games last year and still pick 7th. I wouldn't hate Lowder for the Reds, but i'd be tempted to take a swing at the higher upside with Dollander. Callis is usually pretty plugged in to where the Reds are looking, so I expect their pick to be one of the names he has listed for them, which does include Dollander as well. 2023 MLB mock draft: first-round projections June 1 Lowder looks like a #4 pitcher to me. That certainly has value. But man, you really hope for more with a high 1st round pick. Also, someone legit connecting the Cubs and Schanuel? I bet he comes in under slot at #13 as well. Make this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a nice power/speed profile and we need a 3B desperately. Eric Brown Jr is our SSotf and Shaw's profile plays up at 3B better than Turang or Black's. He doesn't have a really strong arm, but other than that he should be able to easily handle it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa has to be the favorite because they can friggin' pitch but if WSU can get a W tomorrow over Indiana State, they've finally got a chance to win a regional. This isn't the team that I thought would get it done and they still likely don't but some bull**** placement in past regionals kept better teams from having a legit shot at Supers (that team a few years ago had no business getting put in Tennessee's regional), but there's no dominant team in this one so they've got as good a shot as a 4 seed can expect. And Kyle Peterson put it bluntly on the selection show, Wright State is a "nightmare 4 seed" for Indiana State. 6 outs away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves his starter in entirely waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long again in a close game and guess what happened? Didn't blow a lead this time, so there's progress! No, just instead turned a 1-0 game into a 4-0 game with 6 outs to go. Just an impeccable job of ineptitude from this man. Taking what Lovelady and Mercer built and ****ting all over it.

hrubes20 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I caught that Tennessee/Clemson game the other night. That was wild. Down 4-2 with 2 outs in the 9th and Tennessee hit a 3-run bomb. Clemson got one back and forced extras, but Tennessee eventually won. I don't like Tennessee or their coach at all, but that was fun.
