John’s kid?

That would've been cool, but not this time. Dad's name is Nick.

 

[turbovol]

Sounds like he's destined for late-inning short relief--get the left-handed hitter out in a tight game.

I’ve been a bit out-of-pocket lately and definitely not up-to-date with rules, but texting and contacting a grad student is allowed, correct?

Probably depends on what the contact is, but seems mostly yes

Almost anywhere to Starkville is quite a change in scenery.

Starkville itself leaves a lot to be desired but it admittedly has the best ballpark in college baseball. Better than most minor league parks. It’s a great venue to see a game.

Been away on vacation. From what I’ve heard about Stamos he’s a solid arm. They think staff valued him to get another guy who’s “been around the block” on a pitching staff that will include a lot of youngsters.

Merritt was a huge influence on the team last year so I think going forward you’ll probably always see at least one guy who’s on the older end brought in via the portal.

Not sure how much Stamos will ultimately play (he’s not Merritt level on the field), but he’s got both bullpen and starting experience and was a high strikeout guy. You can never have too many arms and this is a good low risk addition in case some of the freshmen lefties aren’t quite ready from day 1.

To add I don’t expect him to be a huge core piece of the pitching staff, but he’s going to be an adult in the locker room and can eat some outs - especially because FA loves to have a lot of lefties around to pitch the matchups

Kaden Martin transfers to ETSU.....

wow......

 

[Vol_sanity]

Kirby!!!!!

 

[OldTimer]

Kirby!!!!!

That’s good news in so many ways, I’d advise anyone to play as long as they can, work can wait.

 

[Sam I Am]

Welcome back Kirby!

My opinion know it doesn't mean a hill of beans is that Kirby should have the opportunity to be the closer. I know he was more of a situational pitcher this past season but he reminds me of the guy that closed a couple of seasons ago just a thought...

 

[txbo]

Kirby!!!!!

Redmond Walsh's record for most appearances is toast.

It's only fitting that Kirby ends up in the record book.

 

[taylorvol]

Kirby!!!!!

Glad he made it official. Awesome to have Connell back for another season!

 

[Weezer]

Kirby!!!!!

@preacherman20

I hope you're happy Kirby is taking someone else's scholarship. Love, Bruin.

I wish that was true. Not taking anyone’s scholarship. . But it will work itself out

I was just kidding because all of Bruin's rants, lol. He's a bit nuts.

 

[preacherman20]

I know. We had to reapply for in-state tuition. Application for masters took longer than expected than at mercy of SC. Now WAIT.

Kirby..."don't bash the Stache!"

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Oh, man. MSU was convinced he was theirs lol.

 

[10RC Mustard]

His gf transferred to the other UT. I think he's trying to stay somewhat close to her
