Could be worse. I shoveled snow the last two mornings.
-
A guy like Chris Bassitt would help the rotation and shouldn’t command an onerous contract.
-
Agreed. I'm not sold on the pitching depth for the 2026 season. I think there are enough pieces and parts to out a reasonable offense on the field.
-
Nice job using "perverse" given how UofM's athletic department's last month has been going.
-
Gift interception was a 10 point swing. They were in position for a reasonable field goal. Yes, a further FG attempt was missed later in the 2nd half, so 3 probably shouldn't be assumed. But take that interception away and the score at halftime is probably only be a 7 point difference at max. The offensive line was brutal in the first half. Sayin had no time for anything. They couldn't run outside but had more success in between the tackles. Ironic considering they pretty much tried to run in between the tackles against Indiana (to no success) and had more success with running outside.

That’s got to be from being stepped on? Not sure I’ve seen anything like that before.
-
So that means he’ll have to rest for a few games. I won’t deny the guy’s talent. But I like availability, which he lacks in for whatever reason.
-
Well, there’s another variable. Will the Tigers need much offense out of him or will his defense be enough. It’s not just his bat. It’s how well the Tiger offense is performing overall.
-
So what’s the point of voting east vs west? Just pick the best 16 domestic and 8 international.
-
Was his swing just too long in general or did he struggle mostly low in the zone? Kid has long limbs, so I can see how it’d be easy to get too long.
-
Yes, unless…… ….. Bickerstaff needed to make a point with the team. I don’t know that that’s the case, it’s speculation on my part. If that were the case, I don’t like the loss but I understand the lesson (maybe).
-
I had planned on watching this game tonight, right about now. I found out the score by accident this morning. I guess if I’m going to lose interest on a game by finding out the hard way, this is probably one of the ones that I’m fine to have that happen with.
-
Anybody ever try Randy Johnson pitching to Joe Morgan in Stratomatic or OOTP or backyard wiffleball? Please post your findings.
-
Flapping that back wing at the box just revved up the bat to ball skills.
-
Looking at the first sentence of his quote, if Bickerstaff was going with a lineup of guys that seemed more into the game than others, I'm fine with it. I can't think back to that game, I don't know if it seemed like guys were mailing it in. Maybe that was some of the issue, I don't know. If that was the case, this team has some depth now. So, if someone ain't there with effort, put someone else in. I have no problem with that.

Stormin is only 10 posts into his MTF career and he has 6 positive reactions to this post. Early on favorite for 2026 MTF ROY?
-
Same. I've been critical of the Keith situation (how he's been handled, his output, etc). Key to note he has put up good offense for his age and he hasn't found much of a power stroke yet. He could be a guy that has an impressive leap this season.
-
I was looking at the discrepancy in attempts/makes for the game? Interesting that you bring this up. I think Kelser brought up FT% during the game, too.
-
I get thrown off by college teams that have teal as a color since that color wasn’t invented until the 1990s. New Mexico has some teally looking shirts on today. Coastal Carolina adorns itself in the hue.
-
Drunk on Vernor’s?
-
I think McKinstry’s playing time will decrease. I think Vierling will get most of his playing time in OF. Keith won’t play 162 at 3B, so sure, Vierling, McKinstry, others will find some time there. I don’t know, I just suspect Keith becomes more of an everyday lineup guy by Memorial Day.
-
Just not interested in acquiring lack of availability.
-
At this point I think Keith gets the Opening Day 3B gig. I’m fine with that. Give him a defensive role, let him grow into it. I think the bat will be fine and I think it’s good enough where he’s not a platoon bat. SS is the only spot on the IF in flux right now, and at worst Baez’s glove still plays there.
-
Ok, ok, enough fish ‘n chips and birthday chat. Let’s get back into which is the more extreme, Scott Harris’s awesomeness or Al Avila’s awfulness.
-
As was my grandpa’s. He’d always talk about it being his and Al’s birthday.
