Bama up early, 5-0, B2. Guscette hit his 2nd GSHR in as many games... Bama needs to stay on the gas and salvage this game.
| BSB/SB ⚾#18 Alabama vs. #1 Texas A&M - Thursday's game postponed. Game 1, Friday at 11 CT
- Thread starter Brandon Van de Graaff
- Start date
A&M proves yet again, no lead is safe when they're involved. UA clings to a 6-5 lead, B4.
A&M up 8-7, B6. Their lineup, specifically 1-3, is just unfair. You make a location mistake, they crush it.
Not pretty, but I don't care.... Bama wins 10-9!
And hat off to Alton Davis II, coming into the game in the 6th and finishing it while throwing 75 pitches. He's still not dialed in this season, but he got it done today.
Except for that mid week UAB game?

Pretty amazing to have a closer type arm throwing 75 pitches. That is very rare to have that conditioning after working to building your bidy up for one inning for so long.
Yeah, they've done a good job of building up to it with him. They were preparing even back in the fall to have him on standby as a starter, then when Quick went down they really started stretching him out with with his side sessions. He could step in and start at this point if needed and probably go 90 pitches. Personally, I'm hoping he slides into the weekend rotation next year.
Going with the D1 Baseball rankings (which are the best overall, IMO)... there are 8 ranked SEC teams (including the top 4). 1 of them is Bama. 1 is Vandy. Bama has now played the other 6.
1. Texas A&M
2. Arkansas
3. Kentucky
4. Tennessee
13. Vanderbilt
18. Alabama
20. South Carolina
24. Georgia
The schedule lightens up a bit from here on out with @ Ole Miss, @ Mississippi State, LSU, and @ auburn. Bad news is, 3 of 4 on the road and LSU as been underperforming. Not like the other 3 are trash either, but they aren't Texas A&M, Tennessee,, Arkansas and Kentucky.
He knows, he's just talking about SEC side... obviously the midweek games count, but they are in a different bucket.

We aen't thinking he goes pro? 6'5 lefty at 96 is a diamond.
Unless I'm having a massive brain fart (of which I'm susceptible to), he won't be eligible yet.

What's the rule? Thought with baseball you could leave whenever you wanted since you can still go pro out of high school?
Players who have graduated high school but not attended college are eligible for the draft, as are those who have completed at least one year of junior college. Players attending four-year colleges are eligible to be drafted upon completing their junior year or turning 21 years old.

Ahh, ok. Thank you for that.
Not a problem! You brought it up and it peaked my interest as well. I knew that there had been something put in place but wasn’t sure.
