Baseball is crazy. Looked at a few scores and some of the team's different results in the Belt. There have been series with 2 blowout wins followed by a loss for a top team versus a bottom feeder. Coastal is (I believe) top 10 ranked with wins over Campbell and NC but with 6 conference losses as wel...

Walks, hit by pitch, wild pitches and now a dropped in fly ball. Geez

We went from the 2007 Giant killing shocked the world greatest upset of all time program to the one who knocked off the Carolinas to the one who took down a crappy A&M (still a marquee win). We went from cute FCS to "big boy football " and except for that blip last year we were looking like a perenn...

What's the prognosis for a game tonight? Tomorrow looks good. Double header?

The good G5 programs are basically going to now be the minor/developmental league for the big P5's. We will land that in between guy who comes to App, puts on some muscle and have a good year then will bolt for some quick cash even if it means a backup role. Hard to blame a kid for wanting to get pa...

I'd love to see the statistics of playing time/snaps of portal guys. I'm sure that a great majority of the ones who hit the portal barely played at the school they are leaving. I'm sure the reasons for transferring vary and some guys simply didn't fit in or just didn't like where they originally lan...

https://twitter.com/wpmcgee/status/1650628208511840257?s=46&t=UfUtPHfzYe5R3hJ5cku44g Look at how much Coastal is spending! Just as much as P5’s. We are well below the average spending for Sun Belt baseball programs. Credit to B&G pod for sharing. In comparison we're around $1.075M which puts us 12t...

His contract is up at the end of the year so you either move on from him or give him three years. No way we offer him, nor would he accept a one year deal. I agree. He's not going to stay on a "prove it" one year deal. You have to look at reasonable expectations versus actual results. We are absolu...

I know it won't ever happen but I think it would be great to bring in a regional team for a scrimmage game. I would think a scrimmage/spring game against Charlotte or ETSU would be both beneficial to each team and would garner bigger crowds. As suggested play it around noon with baseball to follow a...

This gets me thinking about something. Us old heads often talk about the Boone climate/weather as it relates to our sports. Obviously a factor with baseball. For some reason some people clamor for crappy weather for football games and some think it's an advantage for us. I don't really think a bunch...

I love App State and our history but I really don't think we are movie worthy. Maybe in 5 years after we win the National Championship in 4 years then you've got yourself a real storyline. Other than that we are just an interesting 30 for 30 (maybe) on ESPN.

College pitching probably comparable to college defensive backs. You get a few legit studs who can shut down the opponent but most can't.

Ouch dead last. First time I've looked at the standings

A great opportunity to knock off top 10 ranked Wake on Tuesday in Shelby. Keep the bats hot!

Do we even use one of our better starters for these mid week games?

I have no idea how the baseball RPI works because there are teams with bad records ahead of us but there are 305 total and after today shouldn't we move close to 100? I always say that in football if we are ranked at least 40th that is the top 1/3. Get to inside 100 for baseball and it's the same pe...

Half game out of 2nd place. The race for that spot is wide open

Something about laying the Mercy Rule on a team

Jinxed. My bad! Hahaha.

No more from me!
