I just picked up my student ticket at 8:30 am this morning! Ill be in section 115 row 6! Go Terps, Beat Navy!

Also, one concern I had about this game. As most people around here know, after every Maryland touchdown, the student section sings an a capella version of Rock and Roll Part 2 (hey, you suck song). Usually, I participate with great fervor. Against Navy though, I don't think I will, nor should anyone. These are guys who are going to be in the armed forces. They really don't suck. This will be the one time I don't participate in that tradition.

I'm sure that most people will sing it, without even thinking about who they're singing it about. Alcohol and thoughtlessness will surely be involved.

You're absolutely right that this isn't a tradition to keep tonight.

This, on the other hand... ;)

I see Navy winning this game, they have one of the most underrated players in the nation in there QB Dobbs, I expect him to run big on a poor Terps Run Defense. Navy has had some impressive wins last year in Notre Dame and Missouri, also almost beating Ohio State in the opener last year. Navy is going to come out ready against a very inconstant Terps squad.

lol... I'll probably donate even when the Terps win... but I'll be surprised if I lose the bet.

Navy lost a bunch of their LB's... they will not stop the MD running game... if they commit extra defenders in the box, MD will be able to beat them over the top. Navy likes that bend but not break defense... containment, trying to keep you in front.... I think MD is going to have the opportunity to spread them out and get Navy out of their comfort zone.

I'm hoping the game does not come down to a kick for MD... I guess Baltz should be ok if he has to play for Ferrara.

MD might be able to move the ball, but I don't see them stoping the triple option.

Maryland tends to struggle early in the season even against some cupcakes. I mean last year they barely beat JMU in the 2nd game of the season and then lost to Middle Tennessee for the 2nd year in a row. For whatever reason it takes this team a few weeks to get their legs under them and I think that's going to cost them against Navy.

Even though I spent 20 years in the Army, I grew up a Navy fan since Annapolis was right down the street. Saying that, I've always been a Maryland fan so despite my dual allegiances, I'll be rooting for Maryland on Monday from section 524.

If Navy does win I won't be decimated, but I would prefer a Terps victory.

      Honestly, this almost feels like a positive. Last year an outing like this might have had 4 or 5 walks. Hopefully this indicates a better ability to grind out a start without his best command.

      Yea that’s a lot of pitching.  Only 1 walk but the str% was just under 60%.

      Roch's Fascination with Ryan McKenna

      By SteveA · Posted

      A few ideas:  McKenna has been around for a long time, Roch probably knows him pretty well.   Maybe he likes the guy.  It is a fact that Hyde (and likely Elias too) like to have a good mix of RH and LH bats, and take LH/RH splits very seriously.    We see it in their lineups, and in player moves, all the time.   It is clear based on the multitude of comments that come out each time a lineup is posted, that Hyde/Elias put a lot more stock in LH/RH splits than the majority of fans here do.   Whether you agree with them or not, the bottom line is it DOES matter to THEM, a lot.   And with Hays down, and now Burdick gone, our MLB/AAA pool of potential outfielders is VERY lefthanded, which means that McKenna probably has more value to them than he does in most our minds.   And Roch is just reflecting that value in his blog.   (When Hays got hurt, I wasn't 100% sure his replacement was going to be Kjerstad, I thought there was a chance, based on past behavior of Elias/Hyde, that it could be McKenna to get another RH bat in the mix). Perhaps Cowser has, or will, convince them that he can be an adequate backup CF if something happens to Mullins.   I don't know if that has happened yet.   But with Hays out, and Mateo so far not passing the eye test as a CF, it's possible that McKenna is still the #1 answer if something were to happen to Cedric.   Which gives him more significance than some other 4A guy who can be DFA'd 3 times in a season like Banuelos and pass through waivers or be easily replaced.

      We smashed him pretty good last year and he’s due for regression. He’s an average pitcher that we should beat.

      Yeah, the limited IP so far is small.  But it feels like he's not at the right level of competition. Of course it's also as much competing against himself (pitch shape, location, etc. that the team tracks) as against the hitters too.  Like you mentioned elsewhere, he's younger than DeLeon.

      I think they’d go with 4 lefties before sending Akin to AAA. If everyone is healthy: SP: Burnes, Grayson, Bradish, Kremer, Means/Irvin RP: Kimbrel, Cano, Coulombe, Perez, Akin, Suárez, Webb/Baumann, Irvin/Means Option: Wells, Tate DFA: Ramirez, Baumann/Webb And then if they want Wells, they either DFA the other of Webb/Baumann or option Akin.  They also have the ability to option Kremer, but he’s really have to pitch poorly for that to happen.

      With Cowser hitting lefties ok so far, not a lot of reason for McKenna. Mateo has already played CF once as well, so they are covered down with defense in CF and Kjerstad brings a much better bat.
