GoFrogs: ACU vs. TCU baseball preview

I'm a big believer in creative license, but I also think you better rewatch the Moonlight Graham scenes.

I’ll admit, it’s been several years since I’ve seen it.

You're right that the real-life Moonlight Graham (1876-1965) was dead when the film was made, and when W.P. Kinsella wrote "Shoeless Joe" in 1982. So your point is valid. But in the movie, Graham was the one "living" player who arrived at the field via car, not corn.

Did Chuck just call that a DP? There were already 2 outs, sweetie!

There was a guy in 201 all night calling for the double play with 2 outs. He was serious every time.

Great novel by Kinsella. Read it 2-3 times. Much better than the movie (also seen 2-3 times), which was also pretty darn good.

When he was calling for a DP, you may have just misunderstood him.

Oh. I see what you’re saying now.

He may have been a film director.

That's was out of Lupton in about 3 seconds.

Not sure how they calculate ball flight here. (0.5 seconds ???) I counted 2.3 Mississippies.

And Florida lost a home game tonight against UCF. But SEC. So it just means more, so they deserve to be ranked above us.

He may have been a film director.

Or he might've been John Mullaney practicing for the Oscars.
