The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

buckeyemania11
Landon Thiel, one of our top incoming recruits lands on MLB.coms Top 200 draft prospect list at #181. Hopefully he still makes it to Columbus but there's probably a good chance that he doesn't.

Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Curveball: 55 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 40


Thiel is one of the more projectable and most improved high school pitchers in the Midwest. The 6-foot-7 left-hander topped out at 88 mph during East Coast Pro tryout last summer and failed to make the team, but he has added about 5 mph to his fastball this spring. While many scouts believe he'd be best served by attending Ohio State and adding more strength and polish, there are enough interested teams that he may not get to Columbus.

Thiel now reaches 94 mph early in games and operates at 89-91 mph throughout his starts, imparting carry and armside run on his heater. He gets good depth on a curveball that reaches the upper 70s and owns a slider with more power and horizontal action but less consistency. He also demonstrates feel for a changeup that parks around 80 mph and drops at the plate.

After gaining significant strength during the last year, Thiel now carries 230 pounds on his tall frame and still has room to add more. He uses his size to create extension and angle that add deception. He throws more strikes than most teenage southpaws his size and projects to develop average control and command.

We were spoiled by Hartline, but even then, the explosion of NIL recruiting makes it harder for everyone. I think in the current state of the game if you can get 1 upper tier guy it's a win, then whatever comes of the rest you can bring in is just a big bonus.

Holy Sh*t!! 50 TFL's, 16 Sacks, and 8 Forced Fumbles?!! That is crazy numbers, especially for a Soph. I know it's in Md, but still, those are insane stats to put up! Bet he'd look good donning the Scarlet and Gray.

What is the vibe on Dakota Guerrant, have they cooled on him? Does the staff prefer Easter over Guerrant? Or does this have more to do with the price tag, or each of their interest in TWFOSB?

Haven’t recruited Guerrant in a while and it’s likely due to price tag, he’s been trending to Oregon for months.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

I didn't have a chance to bet on a blown lead yesterday, but here's an addendum that specifically applies to the Reds.........when they score 12 runs in one game, go ahead and bet both the under and a 3-4 run defeat in the next game. Shit.....they won't score 4 more runs the rest of the series. I've already put a parlay on the under, the Mets by 3.5, and a HR from some dude who only has 2 so far this year.

No o e EVER gets over “gambling addiction.”
Click to expand...
I disagree. I know someone who has. Although you can say his was an unconventional version of it. He was in finance and gambled through his by impulsively "betting" on the riskiest investments. He realized that the way he operated at work was the same way a guy at the race track would bet on horses and got help at a gambling anonymous group. Basically, he said that he had no motivation to work unless the threat of losing everything was always lingering in the background, but now he no longer works in that manner and has secure investments set up for the rest of his life while still being motivated to work without unnecessary reckless risk. He also said he has been able to settle down, marry and have children since working on his gambling impulses because before he did he could never get married because he was always worried in the back of his mind that "he could do better" so he couldn't commit. I thinkgetting help, which led to him having a family, has helped him with his gambling impulses.

But I do agree it's very difficult for people to kick this addiction and is pretty rare to overcome. But I wouldn't say that people never get over it either.

“Hot” Takes?

My hot take is that there's a conspiracy to name kids these new nonsense names (the Aiden, Jayden, Hayden) to make us forget our traditional classical names (William, Robert, John, Matthew, George, David....).

Step One: Name your kids whatever you want to
Step Two: Now people have forgotten about William, Robert, John, Matthew, George, and David
Step Three: ????
Step Four: Profit
