Very happy for the road win. Let’s not have short-term memory loss though
- Z, better base running-it isn’t the first time.
- Pitching. This has been discussed over and over. Would really like to see Peter moved to Saturday. Pen has to consistent. Just don’t come in and throw multiple balls and immediately place yourself in trouble.
-While I appreciate EKJ’s HR - again, consistency is the key. Happy to see at DH if he can reduce the bad at-bats. Limit the SOs.
-Tyson. Love him hitting. The defense behind the plate with he and Baker there…is average at the very best. I hope they can both improve throughout the season.

The main issue besides locating their fastball is their inability to consistently throw the off speed pitch in or around the zone. Nothing worse than a one dimensional pitcher who grooves it like batting practice.

The hope is that they can figure it out while the offense carries the brunt. It was an otherwise decent pitching performance yesterday.

When you rely on freshman arms like they have there is a lot of variance in their performance. They can be great for 2 batter then awful for a couple of batters. You figure if you use enough of them one will figure it out.

A midweek game 4 runs should result in a win in most midweek games and most weekend games.

Two good pitching performances in a row. They could improve throughout the year as well.

We have all said it winning cures a lot of issues. The most important thing Kelsey did was open the pocket books of the people that mattered. Louisville basketball has been the highest revenue generating program in the country. Mack and Payne didn’t embrace the business side of the program. Kelsey didn’t just embrace it he drove it. We talk about the standard of Louisville basketball in today’s environment the standard has to get back to dominating revenue generation. Get back to 40-50M in revenue then share it with the players.

Once that happens they become the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox or LA Dodgers. This is a market driven by $$$.

the KHSAA offices are there. State track, state tennis, state cross country, state football held there

The attedance this year was terrible.

There are multiple long time outs and over a hour between games in the SAME SESSION.

Food at the game is very expensive and very mediocre

Not many good "walkable" restaurants from the arena. We walked down to Carsons. Good restaurant but I almost called an Uber rather than walking back.

Same boring games on the floor during time outs every game.

I went to most of the games, including the final day.

A lot of it was a snooze fest.

BG made the final, but has had lots better teams in the past 10 years.

Moreno will be a good player. Hard to evaluate bc he was 6-7 inches taller than anyone in the state tourney, and a foot taller than anyone for BG

Attendance is going to based on what teams are in the games because of travel locations. It seems as if sUcK wants it in Lexington for a recruiting advantage for in state athletes. I have been in Rupp Arena and it is not comfortable at all way to cramped. They should rotate it every year that way we would know where you get the best attendance.

How would anyone know as they've never been held at the YUM or anywhere else.

It's almost to the point where they could rotate it around and it would be fun. With Basketball, Louisville, kenSucky, WKU, and NKU's arenas are all big enough to host it. Attendance has dwindled and the KHSAA cannot be making that much money off of either from attendance. Therefore, if sponsorship is where they are drawing the revenue, you'd think it would be beneficial to include other areas and demographics from around the state to draw more fans/sponsorships.
