Letters... we get letters... we get sacks and sacks of letters...
Tonight, we welcome the Western Kentucky University Fightin’ Sentient Amorphous Red Blobs to the Hawk. Following that, the boys head down to Georgia, lookin’ for a soul to steal...
Or at least an SEC series to win against the Dawgs, who are currently in 1st place in the East by a game.
After a 3-1 week that snapped a 7 game win streak, we all have to make the following request to Mr. Burns:

Though Sunday was rough (and we’ll likely deal with Corbs’ decision to leave Rocker on the mound in this week’s mail bag), we’ll always take a conference series win—especially one in which the bullpen appeared to finally attain dominance and the offense put on a show.

Safe to say that MLB scouts have taken notice of the Bleday-Bombs—I mean... he leads the SEC in Ble-Dingers, and hit 4 this week alone. He’s about to get that paper:

Anyone want to give a call to a certain mormon with a certain affinity for bow ties which a certain group of rapscallions at The Slant printed an April Fool’s prank of his untimely death in the early 2000s? I mean, no one would choose to live in Morgantown...
Send your questions to andrewvu04@gmail.com some time today, and I’ll answer them in a post on this week. You may also post your questions here in the comments. Just post them in the body of the comment, with the subject line: “Question for the mail bag.”
*Note: Questions about other SEC baseball teams are welcome, too. I just won’t know as much about them, and will likely respond with juvenile, biased trash talk.
I will do this weekly as long as the questions keep coming in. If they dry up, no post. I’m not mad, just disappointed.
