What an incredible run since going up 1-0 on Tennessee. Lost two in a row, lost their head coach to their biggest rival, lied about hiring a big name just to hire on of his assistants, and was then ranked preseason #1 just to be unranked one week into conference play. Elite stuff Aggies
In aggies defense college baseball is probably the worst example or best depending on how you use it on why preseason polls are complete garbage. And Kendall is part of that problem
Nope but you also can't bash them when it fails or it makes you (Kendall) a hypocrite or bad at their analysis. Either way it shouldn't start coming out until at least a weeks games have been played. It puts so many teams behind the 8 ball before they even throw a pitch
I don't mind preseason rankings. It provides content. I just don't like how they hesitate to adjust after games are played. A&M should have dropped out of the rankings weeks ago. LSU shouldn't be ranked above Tennessee. I'm sure I could find I could more examples if I looked.
How has Jason Torres been You can thank the ineptitude of our soon to be ex-coaching staff for that one
Solid. Slugging at a high rate, getting on base a lot. Highest swing and miss rate on the team, but we have a lineup of guys who don't do that much so we can accept one of those guys in the 5 hole.
I think Pierce has a ceiling which is why I was fine with Texas cutting him loose (especially with Schlossnagle waiting in the wings) but he's exactly what Rice needs --- a floor raiser that will instill basic competence. He's the Willie Fritz of college baseball.
