Hey, Iowa State actually has a real stadium! When it's finished, capacity will sit around 61k. Third biggest in the Big 12.

Let's stir the drink guys

I have no problem with Micah so far, but I think some more seasoning wouldn't hurt. Sanchez can also provide a better bat and defense at this time.

First beer cracked. Someone join me

Oh, the other interesting thing. If Hoiberg jumps in the next two years, Iowa State could go after Jeff Hornacek. Because, you know, the NBA runs through Ames, Iowa.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) Isn't Hoiberg known to be a very good offensive coach? Yes. He borrows exclusively from the NBA. Would imagine he will want to run and gun. He's also constantly among national leaders in efficiency out of timeouts. Iowa State has been top 11 (6, 6, 11) in offensive efficiency the last three years and top 17 (17, 16) in tempo the last two. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 13, 2015 -> 10:55 AM) I don't think any of us know that. He had athletes at ISU and outrun other teams. Doesn't necessarily mean you are a good offensive coach. He's a good recruiter and he seems to be a good leader of men. Not sure any of us know how he will do in the NBA but he should be pretty good at relating. He will absolutely need some top notch assistants. The level of details in the pro game and just the pure talent is so much different, however, I presume he understands that. He hates recruiting, which is one reason the NBA appeals to him. Iowa State's AD said yesterday that Fred told him five years ago that it was his goal to coach in the NBA and that he (the AD) considers it a when, and not if, scenario. Hoiberg had interest from Golden State last year (supposedly second choice behind Kerr) as well as the Cavs last year and the Celtics a few years back. It's not just the Bulls that like him. I honestly don't know if he jumps if Thibs is fired. His heart condition is a very real concern and he hasn't been seen in public since the surgery.

I can't figure this out because I'm a stupid face.... Can anyone give me stats on what the first hitter in each inning is hitting against us?

STIR IT UP

Here's the guy we want....

KEEP STIRRING

Let's do to Broxton what we did to Joba

Neat.

We have to allow the most lead off runners in baseball.

QUOTE (LDF @ May 11, 2015 -> 02:23 PM) welcome back but i think i made that point in what ever floats your boat comment. the slogan / logo of "good guys wears black" that was different. i just don't see the appeal. but it is me, as i have said. The front office didn't come up with it, it's not a marketing ploy. It's a clubhouse thing.

STIR THAT DRINK

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2015 -> 07:30 AM) It's a specific writer for Southsidesox.com, Jim Margalus (sp)...which gets picked up by sb nation apparently. South Side Sox is an SB Nation site.

Lol, Shuck

Nice piece of hitting by Jose

Nice inning

WE DID IT

Runs, let's score some.

Uh, why Robo

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 9, 2015 -> 10:02 PM) Duke is pretty good. If the Sox stink this season and have a firesale he's gonna bring some good talent. Sox have a lot of guys other teams are going to want. No he won't. He's a setup guy.

Beck will pitch tonight, I'd imagine
