@Shauncore @royalsreview Be that as it may he deserved better today. Two infield singles and a double that should have been caught.

Erceg still has added some positive outings for the year (he does have a negative WPA but -0.37 is 161 out of 196 RPs) but his WP lost is 2nd to worst in the league (cumulative stat to be clear). Just for him when it rains, it pours.

To Kirk Herbstreit, Keeper of the Mouse’s Coin Purse, Word has drifted westward across the wheat fields and crimson hills of the Palouse that you have taken to lamenting the greed and excess of youth travel baseball. A curious sermon indeed, coming from a man seated atop the very empire that transformed college football from a proud regional tradition into a gaudy traveling circus stitched together by television contracts and bags of gold. Good sir, spare us the pearl clutching. For years your network rode through every conference in the land like railroad barons laying track through peaceful towns, leaving rivalry, tradition, and geography bleeding in the dust. ESPN and its broadcast brethren turned Saturdays into inventory slots, student-athletes into content assets, and conferences into disposable cattle to be auctioned to the highest bidder. You speak now of families trapped in a “Ponzi scheme”? Friend, your employers practically invented the modern blueprint. The Pac-12 was not slain by Little League dads chasing plastic rings. It was gutted in broad daylight by television greed, by executives demanding ever-larger rights deals while commentators nodded approvingly from air-conditioned studios in Bristol. Schools now fly volleyball teams across three time zones on Tuesday nights so media shareholders may harvest another sliver of ad revenue between insurance commercials and gambling promos. Yet somehow the man cashing checks from the very machine that detonated regional college athletics wishes to scold parents for spending money on baseball tournaments. Remarkable. And let us not ignore the richest irony of all: a broadcaster profiting handsomely from the commercialization of amateur athletics lecturing others about the commercialization of amateur athletics. You have spent decades helping monetize teenagers carrying footballs before millions of viewers, all while networks negotiated billion-dollar deals behind closed doors. If there is to be a discussion about the morality of adults making fortunes from sports involving young people, perhaps the fellows seated at the largest banquet table ought not lead the prayer. Travel baseball may indeed have problems. Excess exists. Egos exist. Costs exist. But at least most parents are doing it because they love their children and cherish time with them before the years vanish like summer sunsets over center field. Meanwhile, television executives carved apart a century of college football history because another yacht does not buy itself. So next time the urge overtakes you to sermonize upon the selfishness of youth sports economics, perhaps glance first toward the glowing ESPN logo before mounting the pulpit. Respectfully, though with a hearty scoff, General Kirby Moore Defender of the Palouse Enemy of Media Cartels Protector of Regional Rivalries
Kirk Herbstreit@KirkHerbstreit

So true Kenny.

@C_Boeckman For me that game was sort of house money in a way - we probably didn't deserve to be playing Clemson, Breece wasn't playing, the season was already a disappointment - so the stakes weren't that high if that makes sense.

@BScovile @alexaphilippou Trading a first round pick for someone you would waive and a 2nd rounder 2 years from now seems a little odd. Apparently they think Suarez is going to be something.

A draft night SHOCKER: The Seattle Storm have acquired the draft rights to Flau'jae Johnson from the Golden State Valkyries. In exchange, Golden State acquires the draft rights to Marta Suárez and a 2028 second-round pick

@clonesjer @Big12clone Fizer and Haliburton were lottery picks. They wouldn't need to put their name in the portal (which didn't exist btw so you're assuming their loyalty). Milan stayed longer than Hali already. Do 49ers fans think less of Montana because he played for the Chiefs?

@Big12clone He can do what he wants, but he's choosing between the Fizer, Niang, Haliburton route and the Rocco, Audi, Tyrese Hunter one. Just depends if legacy matters and what its price tag is.

Milan Momcilovic would never utilize the inconvenient draft window to portal timing to find an excuse to transfer to another school with a big payday without looking like a bad guy. ... but an agent absolutely would. NBA = Cyclone great Portal = Just another dude

@jjetsjetsjets @MilanMomcilovi5 They had a good explanation of this on CF pod - if he's leaning towards staying in the draft ISU has to move on and use that $ elsewhere sooner rather than later.

@MilanMomcilovi5 Oof. If it's the NBA that's awesome but if he ends up at a different school because of money... he's throwing away 3 years of is life building his legacy as a cyclone. Man I hope it's the NBA, I don't want to hate him lol...but I doubt it.

@darrenrovell 1. the commemorative glasses are one of the traditions, bourbon cocktail obvious pairing with Kentucky. if you don't like bourbon then might not be your thing. 2. again, might not be your thing but it's a popular regional food, makes sense as an option 3. IDK

UCLA WBB just showed what happens when you trust the process and buy in. Those seniors stayed. They chose hard. They trusted their coach and they trusted each other. UCLA was a player led team, because Cori Close prepared them to be one. Absolutely incredible!!

curious to see what others thought. This perspective on Illinois - UConn game vs officiating of Michigan - Arizona. I saw Cadeau and others reaching in on every drive and no fouls called. Clearly wasn't the deciding factor but just something I noted.
Tim Brando@TimBrando

Horrible call right there against the @IlliniMBB and after seeing how the officials called the @CBBCrown maybe someone at the @NCAA should show a tape of how the game should whistled. It’s been imo an ongoing @MarchMadnessMBB issue. These teams deal with a physical style all season long and in their Conference Tournaments. Then, the most important games come along? Touch fouls called and anticipation fouls with zero contact! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@maxrieper @Greg_Schaum so Witt slugs more in this comparison, Brett OBP and slugging a little lower than career averages. Also btw the pitch that Witt got rung up on today was not a strike but they had no challenges left.

@flick_matt44 @CrazzzyyyKyyyle I don't think most of those were coin flips. 2022 we were an 11 seed and i think we all knew the team had limitations. 14 and 26, missing huge pieces due to injury (and UConn won the title after beating us). 2024 was disappointing. 2016 UVA was a 1 seed.

We know ISU can't get over the hump in Sweet 16 games. But it's worse than that. In our 5 Sweet 16 games since 2014, we've never led in the 2nd half and barely ever led at all. In fact, yesterday was the first where we ever led by more than 1 point or led after 15:00 in the 1st.
