LPTiger 5,167 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Great news. I wish Ronnie Anders was still alive to see this. It would blow his mind. I think it was 1985 when he donated the money for us to have our first video scoreboard. That thing looked AUsome back then. These renovations would bring tears to his eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears seating behind home plate comes to field level. Best seating since the old bleacher seats and without looking through chicken wire. Going to have to be one of the shorter backstops in the league. Love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodford 3,660 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The seats on the Little Green Monster and the upper level down the first base line are what I'm most excited about. I don't want to be that guy but wish we could re-direct a few million of this to the NIL for the players! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss it so much when we are out. Much more than post football season. Enjoying the CWS right now. Have adopted LSU post season. Have family ties to the school. Playing great right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great baseball. And I have to tip my cap to TCU. In a 6 month stretch they played for a Natty in football and made the semis in baseball. Watching the pitchers in this series makes me realize how much we have to up our game there next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and think we all realized how much we missed Gonzo this year. Like great hitting but love to great pitching.

BT has hinted that he may return. I know his projected draft position has dropped without teams getting to see him throw this season. I know he will make the right decision for him but another season would be great for us and almost certainly for him long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the interest/offers in the draft, but not sure of what I've heard. He is in the MLB Draft Combine broadcasted on MLB network though. Btw, he also got a medical redshirt for 2023, so he has two season of eligibility left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m an old school pitchers duel, low scoring ballgame kind of guy so I loved watching it. I do believe that best 2 teams in the country played last night but the UF-LSU matchup will be entertaining too I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the culture and food. Congratulations to your son. I have a fair amount of friends who are alums there. I too appreciate that culture. They’re a fun bunch. My son went to TAMU so I’ve had to learn all of their ‘cult’ practices. 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
