His opinions are dumb and wacky sometimes and that’s why people have a problem with him. It’s like that opinionated uncle everyone has. We don’t hate him but there are others that we would prefer to be around.

His post games are really enjoyable and I appreciate that he does it for football basketball and baseball.

Not a fan of his radio program except for his guests like Evan Russell. His app is good because it allows you to listen to those segments without having to listen to the rest of the radio program

Yep, Trey Yesavage.

6’4” 225 lb
11-1 W/L
2.02 ERA
145 SO’s

Only has around 2-3 games where he pitched and had less than 8 SO’s.

Righty that can get up close to 100 MPH. What makes him so good is his slider/curveball combo that he pairs with the fastball. He’s good.

Yeah that’s the guy. I watched him in their matchup against Wake/Burns. He was impressive.

I know we have enough problems getting a bunch of old guys like me doing anything technical like logging on to ESPN+.

But would it not be fun to do a group streaming chat like Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Facebook, X or even YouTube. Have several monitors and TVs going with games and stats. Exchanging thoughts on various scotches and bourbons, etc.

Does Miller lite count and do we have to wear pants?
Asking for a friend.

I edited the post with tonight’s winners so far

More thoughts
It woyld suck for West Virginia if LSU upsets UNC one more time. The NCAA would never turn down the Baton Rouge money. But I think WVU would handle red stick pretty well anyway.

The lower half of the Omaha bracket could be all SEC. You could hear all the Clemson sphincters tighten up if Florida wins again Monday and an SEC team is sent to the upstate. They already will be aggravated that they could face nothing but SEC teams in Omaha.

Georgia is not playing well right now. They’re still winning though. NC State could test them. Georgia got a very generous draw. They shouldn’t have been a national seed with their late season issues.

Same for North Carolina. They should have crushed LSU but haven’t.

Kentucky got a generous draw. They match up well with west coast style teams.

What are your thoughts on our potential matchup with ECU?

He didn’t do his job well in this case. As someone who’s paid to cover the Vols, Wes should actually look at the box scores and game summaries before espousing his opinion. No objective journalist would say that Dreiling was a surprising pick based on the stats available.

Yeah I don’t have a problem with him but he says stupid stuff sometimes.

Are you talking about Wes Rucker or Tony Basilio?

For those wondering...

Dreiling hit an incredible seven-of-13 (.538) with two home runs, two doubles, three RBIs and three walks.

Stark hit three-for-10 (.300) with three home runs, five RBIs, three walks and one hit-by pitch.

Moore hit 4-of-13 (.318) with one home run, one double, four RBIs and four walks.

Amick hit two-for-11 with two home runs, a team-best 11 RBIs, four walks and two hit-by pitches.

Ensley hit five-of-12 (.417), one home run, two doubles, two RBIs and four walks.

Curley hit 4-of-12 (.333), two home runs, five RBIs, and one hit-by pitch.

Dreiling absolutely deserved the MVP. He scored a run in every game (5 total) and he had at least 2 hits in every game (7 total)

I love the kid. He is going to have a great and long pro career. His swing unleashes violence on a baseball. He does not get cheated at the plate.

Serious question.
At what point to we try to lock up Elander and throw stupid money at him?
I don’t think Frank is going anywhere but I’d take care of him too.
I feel like our S&C is top notch as well.

Elander is already paid really well. I don't think keeping him long-term is going to be possible. He is eventually going to get a HC opportunity, and that's okay. He's young and will want to move up the ladder at some point.

More than anything (and probably because I write for a living), Wes makes me cringe when he tries too hard to add a little poetic flourish to his tweets.

One from the past few days: "Funny game, that baseball."

I know it's probably only me, but I always get the sense that he's way too delighted with his turns of phrase—like he's excited to show off what a sophisticated writer he is. I can appreciate good writing as much as the next guy, but let's make it appropriate for the audience and situation. He's just too ... fussy sometimes.

I follow him and appreciate what he does, but there are usually a couple of eye roll moments every game.

When Frank does ride off into the sunset, I could see Kirby taking over that role.
