yeah LA is the same as Portland is the same as Camden Maine.

yea pretty much. i guess the weather and geography is different but that's about it. there are accents too.

real talk: any state with as many black people as Mississippi is going to score pretty poorly on obesity and intelligence. but overall its not half as bad as people make it out to be and certainly it doesnt stand out as being less developed than any part of the united states.

Have you actually been to rural mississippi?

I have been all over the country and rural mississippi and rural louisiana are pretty bad in terms of less developed.

It's a joking hate of Starkville from an Ole Miss person.

funny you mention Canada because that is a country that definitely has at least one instance of real, substantive variety.

Knight signed but Stewart, Ginn and Hogland did not.

Craziness. Stewart and Ginn are heading for Mississippi State, Hogland to Ole Miss and McLain to UCLA. 2021 is gonna be a hell of a draft.

Proof their a lot of dumb people in Mississippi.

I assume you made this post while in Tupelo?

So when do teams inform their players their scholarships are being reduced or taken away to make room for these guys?

The smart ones are already making calls to transfer out.

There's a rumor that Stewart may go to a JC and go back in the draft next year.

What is the D1 rule? Must they start school in the fall with a max of 11.7 or can they start over and cut kids before second semester starts to get under?

_________________

They made some changes so I'm not sure what the new rules are. Teams can now play 2 fall games that do not count against the 56 spring games so they may have to have the roster set for those games. In the past they could cut/redshirt guys up till the start of the season. Louisville does it every year. Last year Purdue told a kid they wanted to red shirt him a week before the season started after he played in almost every game as a freshman. He quit and sat out. He's at a JC this fall.

Alek Thomas and Gavin Lux are both riding 17 game hitting streaks and Kelenic is fuckin killing it. The Midwest is representin.

What is the comp on these 2 guys?

For Thomas I used Brett Gardner. I heard other guys used Adam Eaton and even Jacoby Ellsbury (he’s not nearly that fast). Gav is Stephen Drew. Kelenic I ended up using Austin Meadows. Others used Mark Kotsay or Jay Bruce.

Thanks!

Thomas hitting .328 overall this summer.

Luke Heimlich signed a contract with a team in China but the league voided it. Ouch

According to the number #CPBL official, the league have decided not to approve Luke Heimlich's contract.
The league also demand the #Lamigo Monkeys to terminate Heimlich's contract immediately.
The CPBL have a zero tolerance policy on players with criminal history.

This guy really is on the can never rehabilitate list.

Playing baseball is a privilege. It’s not a right

No job is a right.

Now, you know that your statement could not withstand scrutiny given the rogues gallery of people employed as MLB players.

Justice was served. What more do you want?

He’s not damned for life. He can get a law degree then you can hire him.
