The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

The lack of pitching depth is going to make winning the B1G tourney very difficult. Ideally, they can go 2-0 in the double elimination round. Their opponent in the single elimination round would be Oregon and we'd still have one of the weekend starters against them in that case. After that you have to hope the offense can go ham and whatever lower end pitchers they trot out can manage not to get totally beat up on.

Dumbest Professional Team Nickname

You might have led off with the winner.
While I think about it, let's add a second conversation about stupid abbreviations for team names. Somehow COL isn't Columbus - it's Colorado, leaving Columbus to CBJ.
And Las Vegas Knights is VGK. I guess it's Vegas Golden Knights. Still dumb.
CWS is Chicago White Sox. What are the Cubs? CC?

Okay, back to your question.
Knickerbockers is lame. Aren't those a kind of underwear?
Rays. Unless you only have guys named "Ray" on your team, pitch the name.
Phillies. I always thought a Philly was a horse. But that's Filly. This is dumb. (point to someone else for bringing this one up.)
Athletics. I never had a reason to not like the name. I just don't like it.
Guardians. I don't mind that Cleveland changed from Indians. I just don't like Guardians.
Braves. Hey, nerds, Cleveland changed. Man up and change, too. Or... man up and don't change. I don't really care.
Bills. Named after Buffalo Bill? Lame. Only have players named Bill. Do it.
Steelers. Just eff those napkin-tossers.
What the fuck is a Hoosier? Same with a Sooner. Dumb. (Sorry - I know the thread says "professional".)
If you're the Buccaneers, then fine. Don't be a "Buc". That's dumb.
If you're the Browns, then fine. Don't be a "Brownie". That's dumb. Also, don't have an elf on your football field.
If you're the Vikings, that's cool. Don't be a "Vike". That's dumb.
(Yes, I see the irony that I'm not including the Cavs here.)
The Nets? Really? Who gets to be the Hoops?
Someone else brought up that the Jazz are in Utah. That's dumb.
Same with Lakers in LA. Dumb.
Pelicans? Really? Who is going to be the Ducks?
Oh yeah - Ducks. Add that name to the list.
Maple Leafs? Meh. Why not be the Dandelions?
Utah Hockey Club? Is that real? Pick a name or GTFO.

I had to look up WNBA team names. Do they count as "professional"?
Sky??
Dream??
Fever??
Tempo??
Mystics is dumb, but they're in Washington with the Wizards. So... meh.
Dallas Wings? I hope their logo is a maxi-pad.

Oh... I don't mind the name "Wizards". But they should play quidditch at halftime.

If a WNBA team went as the Vikes I would buy merch.
