I remember that Colin Poche, who the O's drafted out of high school, began his college career at Arkansas before transferring to Dallas Baptist.   So, they have a pretty decent baseball program.

I dunno, Lew Ford played there 1996-1999.

Holy Civil War names, Batman.

He needs to go to a Club with a Southern League affiliate so he could take a loss at Chattanooga.

DBU is a good program. They were a 2 seed in the Stillwater Regional and won 2 games before Oral Roberts knocked them out. They're 11th in NCAA wins since 2015.

Here's to hoping our guy is better at pitching than the other one was at generaling.

Feel sorry for this kid that his parents hung this name on him.  I hope they just didn't know.

I feel like it would be quite the coincidence if they didn't know given the uniqueness of the name. It's not like a kid running around named Bobby Lee.

He is from Missouri, so maybe the parents didn't know.  I am not a Civil War buff, but definitely have a pretty good knowledge of history and didn't know who he was until people started to bring this up.

Fair point, just the uniqueness of the name would be a coincidence, I don't know any Braxtons'
