Baseball Around the SEC, Week 9 (4/13 - 4/19/23)

Yeah, everything we’re talking about figures in @jhfxof — at least the way I look at the game.

Some of the silliest things you can imagine—and they’ve become rules—just unbelievable. I’m not going to start listing them, we all know what they are. I would like to know exactly who was in charge of this brain fart though.

 

Right now on SECN+ Todd Walker (former LSU/MLB) is talking at the Ole Miss/MSU game about Ron Polk and his legacy. He went on to talk about when he first started coaching in the SEC—
Before Coach Polk was at Ga.Southern or the SEC he was HC @ Miami Dade South while I was playing at Chipola.
Back then what is now Team USA was known as the United States College All Stars. Coach Polk was the HC. I pitched for that team for him in 1972 and 1973. We went to South America our two years. What a great man and Coach. Forty years after I played for him I ran into him at a ballpark and he knew my first and last name— he has a phenomenal memory.

 

Auburn hit into 6 DPs tonight, including in innings 6-9..lol silly game. Lost 4-2 at Bama. Another rubber game w/ TBA on mound. So is Bama at least. Stopped AU streak of scoring 5+ at 14

Pitching has only given up 4 in each game, but still 10+ BB/HBP each game..Most of it tonight in Bamas 3 run 2nd.

McMilllan(projected Bama ace) made only 2nd start of year coming back from injury. Only gave up a hit and HBP in 6IP. Both erased on DPs

 

Gators moved into 2nd place in the East.

 

8 teams under .500. 6 are 5-10 or worse.

Not sure what that means other than maybe a glimmer of hope for those in that group. Top 9-10 usually a post season team, not sure thats the case this year however. Looking more 7-8

 

Watching Tennessee struggle this year has been awesome. 5-10 in SEC play with remaining series against Vandy, UK and South Carolina. Love to see it.

FSU also got swept this weekend, that's 0-4 this week for them. Another great development.

 

Fsu ' s record of 13-22 is pretty surprising given they started the year pretty hot, 6-0 then a series win over TCU.

 

@SECbaseball

SEC Weekly Awards Pitcher of the Week: Hurston Waldrep, Florida

 

Indiana State leading Vandy 9-0 in the 6th.

 

Some very surprising scores with SEC teams tonight. Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama, Vanderbilt, and LSU all down at the moment. South Carolina and Missouri both tied so far. Plenty of baseball left so wait and see how it ends up.

 

Lot of neagative RPI help for entire league, but near point of not caring, so hope they all lose

Not a great day for SEC SB either

 

Hang in there, only 137 days till you play Mass. LOL.

 

rather watch 0-56 baseball team

golf post season is next on the AU radar.. Os will keep me satisfied a while in baseball.

 

Indiana State closer has a head of hair like Robert Plant in his LZ days.

 

So you are giving the FB team the freeze.

 

Im sure theyll be fine , espec w/ NIL.. just dont overly care anymore if not lol. Its down there with basketball(M) well under diamond sports, golf. As far as what i prefer a title in... Interst level never varies Ill still watch them all.

But Im also perfectly fine going 8-4 in fball every year,, alwsy been that way..You got some good bounces if any better and not named Bama. And I nevr expect those, but got a few all in one year..

 

Tennessee lost, great to see
