 Moreldo!   😂

Another familiar name from my baseball past.  RIP Mike.

If we land Halloway, Tucker  is going to have to really ball to get minutes. Galloway, Halloway, and Goode are all proven P6 veterans. They are going to be very difficult to supplant for minutes. 

Halloway = Hemenway?

Cupps will back up the point. He may not play a ton of minutes but he will have a very consistent role.

And if Cupps is injured in practice, who takes on that responsibility?

Depends where you put the "occasionally." 

He says "Purdue occasionally, IU" 

 

That’s what I heard.   😁

Suter hadn't given up a run in his last 15 innings

I thought the pitch the first kid hit out was a good pitch.  Looked like a decent breaking pitch that was down and the guy went down and hit it.  The second home run the pitch was out over the plate and Seager put a good swing on it.

Reds hold on to win 8-4. Going into the 9th Texas had 1 hit. In the 9th they scored 4 runs on 6 hits.

Great game for Greene and an unfortunate one for Suter.  But they got the win and that’s what counts.  Yeah, I get frustrated with some of Bell’s decisions, but I don’t believe being in his shoes is as easy as I want to think it is.  😊

That would address all of our past issues. Only problem is how do we get them all on the floor.

No worries!  We have knowledgeable guys here.  They’ll figure it out.  😂

Not nearly enough today.

Not anymore evidently.  It’s annoying.

100% we are was posted here a few times. One Crystal ball for Neb. was entered by a Neb. insider but what do they know.

I mean seriously, “What do they know, know, know.   Go to work in some high rise building and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico….oooh, yeah.”

Finding guys willing to accept a role is going to be the challenge now. The big from Drexel not looking to go up against OB for playing time. Probably makes sense because of the investment IU made in OB.

Still, you're leaving Drexel and expecting to be the starter by default at a power conference program? Possible I suppose in today's crazy NIL world. Is it likely? What about practicing against better players if your goal is the NBA? Maybe that's not what they want. Maybe IU already discussed money and it wasn't what he expects.

It really seems every player in the portal now expects to he treated like a five star super recruit. But several of them will not be on a roster when the music stops.

 

It’s the California gold rush revisited.  Every player is looking to strike the mother load.

Where’s Moreldo?

Holtzman was on 4 World Series Championship teams.  A's in 72, 73, & 74.  And Yankees in 77.

He threw a lot of innings with the A's.  I think 297 of them in one season.  It would take the average starting pitcher 2 fill years to throw that many nowadays.

Yeah, complete games still meant something then.

Hate the Cardinals, but for my money he was the best manager I ever saw...

RIP Whitey

Yankees were glad to get rid of him, damaged goods.....

Yeah, the Reds decided to take a chance.  He’s 2-2 so far, but hasn’t been as strong as they’d hoped.  I’m not sold on him, but perfectly willing to give him more time.  He threw 66 pitches into the third inning and 32 were balls.  He had no command of his pitches whatsoever.

Not a good start for the Reds starter Frankie Montas after facing 4 batters

Walk

Walk

Homer

Walk

29 pitches and no outs down 3-0

Seattle has one if the worst offenses In the league and has 5 batters under .200 in the lineup 

Just now walked lead off in 3rd followed with another home run.  He’s walked five in 2 innings.  Take him out. He’s thrown over 65 pitches.  

Former Cub dead at 78.  Cause of death - heart issues.  Passed away Sunday.
