5-2 final. Super job Boerne ! USA Championship Final, Sat, 2:30 vs Florida/Hawaii. Great move by the Boerne coach in the 2d inning, bases loaded, brings in reliever with soft breaking ball for 2 batters, and finishes the game with his gunners.

Viewing Texas football games in '24 out here in Cali
torre replied to Carl Spackler's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
https://www.sling.com/programming/sports I have been shopping also looking for access to SECN and specifically SECN+ for baseball. Not sure, but it appears their complete sports package which includes SECN and SECN+ is only available with the combined Orange/Blue combo which will cost approx $70 after the 1 month promotion. May want to check with them to verify. So their complete package is not much less than YTTV, Fubo, etc which offer more regular channels. If you are just needing the basic ESPN channels, it appears the Orange package will provide at $40 per month. I have just began to compare, so others may have more info. -
I previously mentioned the Boerne pitcher, Julian Hurst. Someone tell Schloss to write his name down for the c/o 2030. Boerne vs Nevada, 2PM, Wed (US semifinal)
-
Yankees and Tigers visit this afternoon and play at 6PM at the local minor league park. Always great to see the interaction between the MLB players and Little Leaguers. Boerne plays Florida, Monday at 6PM, preceded by Hawaii vs Nevada, 2PM. Should be two great games.

Through an open record request, the American-Statesman previously confirmed that associate head coach Nolan Cain and assistant coach Max Weiner each agreed to work at Texas for base salaries of $400,000. Troy Tulowitzki, who will be the team's hitting instructor and third assistant coach, will make $200,000. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/baseball/2024/08/16/texas-basetball-jim-schlossnagle-contract-longhorns/74761090007/

Excerpt from a story about Seth Johnston. Lifetime Longhorns Seth, Russell Moldehauer, and Bradley Suttle were all from Boerne (maybe others, I can't remember) Also, other aggies and D1 players. Boerne produces alot of baseball talent for a small city, I think population is about 20K. Keep an eye on Boerne's last pitcher, Julian Hurst. K'd 10 and had a grand slam in the tourn champ game in Waco. Maybe already on college teams' radar. Growing up in Boerne back then, almost everybody was an Aggie fan. My best friend in high school ended up going to Texas A&M to play baseball. Growing up as a native Texan, you pay attention to Texas, Texas A&M and, because my mom was from Lubbock and my dad played football at Texas Tech, I also paid some attention to Texas Tech. https://texaslonghorns.com/news/2019/8/20/t-association-what-it-means-to-be-a-longhorn-seth-johnston.aspx

On/about 17 Sep, 13 Sep mentioned. Check 6:26 if time stamp doesn't work.

This article further clarifies the new rule changes. Double 1B seems to be an option. Personally, not a fan, prefer to follow MLB's lead. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/SEC/2024/08/09/college-baseball-ncaa-rules-changes-2025-ejections-bat-testing-electronic-communication/74725612007/

2024 Youth Baseball - Every Kid’s a future MLB HOFer!!!
torre replied to BrazilHorn's topic in Baseball
https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2024/llbws/tournaments/southwest-region/ Road to Williamsport begins today in Waco. Texas East (Richmond) and Texas West (Boerne) are reps. Boerne vs Ark currently underway on ESPN+, Boerne leads 2-0, after top of 1st. -
The contract is for one year and $1,050,024 Wonder if 1 year vs 2 years was negotiated ? What will she ask for next year ? Tech is in a desperado mode. And likely guaranteed vs injury ? Canady threw 230 IP last year, vs Kavan (130) and Maxwell (155) for Texas and OU.

Sanders was having a good Summer at Santa Barbara playing C/1B hitting .348 but apparently left early, no longer on roster. Their regular season ended this weekend and now head to NBC World Series in Kansas. CCL competition can be compared to B12. The much maligned, oft criticized Cody Howard is 3-0, 3.08 era, 27-9 k/bb. Amazing if the pitching coach can build your confidence. Hudson Hamilton is 1-3, 6.06 era, 19-9 k/bb. Both Howard and Hamilton were used as starters. Borba played 3B for San Luis Obispo hitting .221 with 2 HRs. Must be spending off time with his old girlfriends in Orange County. He is going to be a good one. Summer ball does not always translate to the regular season but is a barometer and can build confidence. https://calsummerball.com/teams/santa-barbara-foresters-111233/ https://calsummerball.com/teams/san-luis-obispo-blues-111232/

The following are excerpts from a 16 Jul article in the SF Chronicle. Article also states a full scholarship to Stanford is worth $70K. Every day that NiJaree Canady doesn’t commit to another school is a relief for Stanford, which hopes its star softball pitcher returns after entering the transfer portal. With some experts saying that bidding for Canady could reach as high as $1 million, Stanford finds itself in negotiations that could forever alter non-revenue sports. One source with knowledge of the talks would not disclose specific figures but said Stanford’s NIL collective, Lifetime Cardinal, was “giving their all” to retain the nation’s top returning player. “It’s very, very important for us,” a source with knowledge of the NIL negotiations said. “I think there is a good chance she stays,” said Jessica Mendoza, an ESPN announcer and Stanford softball alumni. “I wouldn’t bank on her leaving. She’s in the portal, but I think there’s the chance she stays (at Stanford). What we’re seeing now in the portal is it isn’t a commitment to leaving, but seeing what’s out there.” Two sources at Stanford told the Chronicle under condition of anonymity because they did not have permission to speak on negotiations between Canady, Lifetime Cardinal and Stanford that the school is “not out of it” as far as bringing Canady back. According to the source on NIL negotiations, Canady is getting offers near seven figures from well-funded collectives at Oklahoma and other schools. Florida is believed to have made a bid, and Texas, Oklahoma State and Florida State have also reached out to Canady, according to a source in Stanford’s softball program. Wherever Canady decides to go for the next school year, her entering the portal and what she ultimately commands in NIL money could change how the sport is recruited for years to come. “NiJa transcends the sport of softball,” Mendoza said. “There are a lot of opportunities for her regardless of where she is.” “She’s going to skyrocket (the NIL numbers) to a whole new level,” Mendoza said. “But it’s too fluid a situation to attach a number.” https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/college/article/nijaree-canady-stay-stanford-considers-record-nil-19566500.php

Saw a draft analysis that said he would have went higher but for injury concerns. Seems susceptible ? Report said lumbar injury last year or before and groin injury this year ? Do you have any insight ? Working with MLB/minor league trainers may eliminate those concerns. As you state, seems to be a great person. Wish him well.

Team USA is in Italy for the World Cup which starts Monday but Canady is not on the roster. From the OU board. https://www.dirtburglars.com/forum/sports-forums/athletics/other-sports/1403878-8x-time-national-champion-oklahoma-sooner-softball…-4peat’s-sake/page27#post1414433 https://www.usasoftball.com/team-usa/womens-national-team-program/2024-womens-national-team/

Didn't see this posted. Well deserved, Coach Steve. Even though we Surlyites like to criticize at times. ☺️ Hope you are studying those SEC pitcher tapes. AUSTIN, Texas – Using an implemented strategy that resulted in historic offensive statistics, a Big 12 Conference regular season championship and an appearance in the Women's College World Series Championship, Texas' Steve Singleton has been selected as D1Softball's Assistant Coach of the Year, the publication announced. Texas, which tied its program's single-season wins total with 55, also led the country in batting average with a .370 clip. The Longhorns were also one of just four teams across the country to score 500-or-more (507) runs. UT also set a new single-season home run record, surpassing a mark that previously stood since 2010, while also totaling over 1,000 total bases (1,051) for the first time in program history. https://texaslonghorns.com/news/2024/7/8/softballs-singleton-selected-as-d1softballs-assistant-coach-of-the-year.aspx

Congratulations, Coach ! (siap) (excerpts)

USA vs Japan Game 1, 1-0 Japan. Kelly Maxwell allowed only 2 hits but an unearned run in the bottom of the 7th decided. Game 2, 9-5 Japan. Canady 3 inn, 4 hits, 3 runs, 2Ks. Kilfoyl, 4 inn, 8 hits, 4 runs, Cagle, 2 hits, 2 runs. Game 3, Monday, 7PM JST, 5AM CT Perhaps Canady decision will be in next 2 weeks ? 4 OU players (Alo, Hodge, Maxwell, Hansen) on the USA Team likely trying to recruit her. Heather Tarr and Tim Walton are the coaches. https://www.usasoftball.com/team-usa/competitions/competitions-wnt/2024-japan-all-star-series/

Probably for the best. He was hitting .083, 24 ABs, 12Ks, 1 HR. Needs to get in the cage with Tulo. https://www.capecodleague.com/stats/chatham-anglers/batting-average?playerPool=ALL

To your point. Note the kids having fun. Relaxes them pregame. Check their jerseys "Dingers and bat flips, never bunt"

Excerpts: Barnes attended baseball games at Texas when his time permitted. Barnes not only got to see the Volunteers hoist a national championship trophy, but with one of his old friends from their days at Texas together on the coaching staff: Frank Anderson. Anderson was part of a Men’s College World Series winning team with the Longhorns in 2002, when Barnes was the head basketball coach there. Seeing Anderson get to win another ring is just part of what made the night a special one for Barnes and all the Rocky Top faithful. “It was — honestly being there for the national championship game was extremely special and honestly I’d been there one other time and it was at Texas,” Barnes said. “I told Frank Anderson, ‘We’re 2-for-2.’ Because Frank was the pitching coach at Texas when I was there and he won it that year. And really one of my highlights, with everything that went on, when we were getting ready to leave, I saw Frank sitting in the dugout by himself and it really touched me. He was there, everybody was gone, just sitting on the back of the bench looking back out onto the field and I got so much respect for him.” https://www.on3.com/college/tennessee-volunteers/news/rick-barnes-calls-college-world-series-win-extremely-special/
