    I think Kel'el, by his own admission, is a laid back kid who doesn't hurry himself... I also think some of his critics from last year thought that bled over into him game...

    Hummell said during the broadcast that Woody had been getting into Kel'el pretty good in practice, hoping that Ware would come back at him... Which he supposedly did... Our coach has the psychology of the game down 😉

    Kinda like Knight would do to his players?

    CMW had a good teacher....

  2. Yanks just let 6 guys go. The main one of the group is Domingo German. He threw a perfect game earlier this year but then was so inconsistent the rest of the season. Not to mention his drunken run-in with manager Aaron Boone. I really rooted for this guy. Maybe he can hook up with another team and like the Rangers Aroldis Chapman, win a WS!!

    I think, no I know he means all the philanthropic things coach did outside of the public eye.  He raised so much money for the University and community.  He did so many things behind the scenes with ZERO fanfare.  He did it because he loved IU, and we loved him.  I think that was why he was SOOOOO hurt about being fired.  

    True story, I have 2 nephews who attended IU in the 90's, not sure of the years. Anyway they had a grandpa, my father-in-law, that was battling cancer. They went to the athletic office to see if RMK could autograph a basketball for him. Not only did Coach sign the ball, but also told the boys that if their grandpa was physically able to attend a game, he would see to it that he would have seats behind the bench!! Unfortunately, he was not able to make the trip.

    He will be missed. It would be a nice gesture if the team and CMW could dedicate this season to The General...

    RIP

    If the Rangers take the Series, Bruce Bochy is a shoo-in for the HoF with his 4th World Series title...

    Only Casey Stengel, Joe McCarthy, and Connie Mack have won more than 4 as mangers, and Bochy will also be only the 3rd manager to have won it in both leagues (Sparky Anderson and Tony LaRussa who both managed 3 World Series winners)

    You left out Joe Torre who has won 4 WS titles....

    Ahhh.. I remember those glory years.....

    In the immediate aftermath of our loss to Miami, I was too harsh in my evaluation of Trayce during his IU run.  (due to his teams' performances)   In truth:  He always put in the work and won a lot of big moments for IU during his career.   I'm very happy he made the leap to the league with style - and power.  Just like TJD

    He will be a good ambassador for IU....
