The zone was pretty tight yesterday, both teams had several instances where they wanted to throw it around the horn or walk to the dugout only have the home plate ump call a ball. I do think the ump was consistent and equally tough to both teams however. I am wondering if there is an emphasis being made to remove the 2-4” off the plate strike that has been pretty common in the college game until recently. Used to bother me that so many pitches hitters are taught to lay off were called strikes in the past, but the trade off for tighter zones is higher pitch counts and more arm injuries, which is worse than more batters getting punched out at bad strike calls.
As an experienced Dad, I suggest you figure out how to hold the PS5 controller with a baby in your arms for those late night feedings/sleep duty sessions.
Huskers are definitely better than many thought. The arms are better and deeper, which the coaches and some media were saying, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the depth and balance in the bats. Should be a fun year.
If FSU is smart, I know that is a big if, it would be limited in scope, the PE group might have ownership of the licensing operations for instance. As the article points out, this has been done successfully with minor league baseball teams in recent past.
Apparently the team disagrees with you since he was voted as a single digit number guy. Rhule also has always spoken very highly of Piper, you don’t invite a players Mom to Jin a pre-game speech if you don’t think a lot about the player himself.
Jeebus, I am super excited to see Dylan this Fall, but this is a bit much. No matter how talented he is, he will have several bumps in the road this coming season as a true freshman.
