Nicholson is one of the more underappreciated coaches on campus.

Agreed Matt, and the amount of hand wringing over his hire as opposed to a big name assistant is even more hilarious now in retrospect

[Matt Cotcher]

Didn't expect Mcguire to pitch this year. 

Garrido is a fan & Skip is doing his thing. I'd recommend changing that expectation.

Does anyone know if Kevin Dunn is still around? I've seen Alex Loeb calling some volleyball but am beginning to wonder if he will call baseball this season.

Yes, he's just busy with football right now. 

 

[joeywa]

FYI, when Cantu threw out Ben Johnson stealing 2nd tonight, it was a Big League pop.  He threw the ball from his knees.  I'd guess the pop time was easily under 1.9. 

Here is where he threw that ball from.  I tried to screen cap the series of the throw, but couldn't.

He did not stand up, threw from there.

He mentioned on Twitter that he'd had dinner with Garrido recently and that he wished he was calling the baseball game.
