Plus pitcher coming off injury. Risk/reward type of offer. If he’s healthy he’s got a high ceiling as a starter.

I'm a little surprised to hear Perez could start the season as closer. Curious to know whether that's because Cal isn't 100% or if it's just because Perez has been excellent. I'd expected Coughlin would be our closer since the end of last year, but that's been based solely on who we had last year and my perception of their abilities. Honestly don't even know if he was ever a consideration for that role this season as he's also a guy who can give you multiple innings out of the pen in longer relief, which is also very valuable. Just seems like that would be a Haylen Green/Jake Eissler role if they aren't Tuesday starters.

I love baseball.
Watching that clip I reminisce about the years that have been taken off my life from the nail biters and amazing moments we’ve had as frog baseball fans:
Purke’s dominance of the Horns, Winkler slaying the giant, Curry’s granny at Rosenblatt, the marathon game against Sam Houston State, the entire Pepperdine series that was the best 3 game series I’ve ever witnessed (will never let me forget the name Aaron Brown) the incredible (doesn’t describe it) comeback vs NCST, Crain scampering home against the Aggies in the 14th, Luken hitting the ball to Council Bluffs vs TT, Coastal darning Carolina, Boomer booting the ball in college station, Nick darning Fiedo.
There’s a lot I’m forgetting and I’m pretty sure some of that is out of order, chronologically, but darn 2018. Let’s go!

Great recap. My favorites:
-- Curry's grand slam. Couldn't believe it... and he absolutely destroyed that ball. Dead center and way gone.
-- Boomer booting the ball. My personal favorite. Hilarious and some good ironie
-- NC State comeback
My least favorites:
-- Coastal Carolina. That was our year and we blew it.
Think losing two to Coastal is something that will haunt Schloss for the rest of his time mainly because that was the last CWS for our superhero Micah

100%. was the first time we were in the drivers seat, the 2-0 slot in the winners bracket. That pitcher they had (Beckworth maybe) threw his arm off against us. It's insane how those 2 nights went

Agreed on the Pepperdine series. So much fun both tailgating and watching baseball for that series. Captain Philips will always evoke belly laughs with me.
Worth noting the original wooooooo in there. I know you got the SHSU 22 inning marathon, but the wooooooo is a worthy footnote in that mention.
I'd also add fly balls to RF in Bricktown to your cardiac moments.
ETA: Wasn't the red LeBaron incident during the regional with the SHSU 22 inning game? That whole postseason was just remarkable all the way around. The whole regional was nuts with the SHSU 22 inning game the highlight. Then the Super was bonkers with Pepperdine. And the tailgates for each game were all memorable. Not sure I'll ever have more fun at baseball games than I did in 2014.

Beckwith. Kid threw about 900 pitches under 80 mph in Omaha and nobody could touch him.

Unfortunately we had a golden opportunity in the decider to move to championship. Beckwith was unavailable and we lit up their starter.... but our pitching fell apart. That's the game that is killer.

No on the red LeBaron being the same game as the 22 inning game. I was at the red lebaron game but was in Houston for the 22 inning game.

You left out MANNY!!!!!!!!!! The SS for Pepperdine. So many incredible games that's happened at Lupton over the years. Happy to say I've been to every post season game.
What year was it I meet you and we were tailgating during the monsoon? I seriously don't know how we didn't get hit by lightning standing under that darning canopy like drunken idiots!

I thought Virginia won it that year.

I believe that was 2-3 years ago. Obviously not last year, but I'm pretty sure it was the year before. We had about 40 people crammed under two tents and everyone holding onto them to keep them from blowing away. That was a gnarly storm.

Maybe the red LeBaron was 2013 then. Whatever year the red LeBaron was is also the year you boat your pants.

That was a really good Vandy team. We were also a super strong team, but I think they had more talent. Kind of similar to Florida knocking us out with Faedo.
Coastal Carolina was a good team, but certainly not a great team. Granted that wasn't the best TCU team either.
