Before/after a long day of playing the Jet Lag home game in Denver yesterday. Survived a hailstorm, walked ~20,000 steps and had a great time.

Ole Miss baseball has a director of analytics. What does that entail? Some words on college baseball analytics, how a longtime head coach tries to stay ahead of the curve and a Long Islander calling Oxford home.

Not a lot of defense in Starkville last night. Defensive rebounding hadn't really been an issue for Mississippi State, but that's back-to-back games now where the Bulldogs have given up a ton of offensive rebounds.

Not much has gone Ole Miss' way lately after three straight losses, but the one thing the Rebels have done really well this year is winning the turnover battle. They don't turn the ball over and force a ton of turnovers on defense.

Mentioned on the podcast this week that, while A&M has had its issues shooting the ball, the Aggies would have a big advantage on the boards. That's pretty much what happened.
