  1. If you don't like your seats consider moving. Ushers rarely enforce seat checks especially for midweek games.
  2. Thanks for the info. I met his parents at a restaurant travelling to a game at aggy. I thought his dad was an educator thus the reason he may have not signed the 3rd round offer. Below is an excerpt from the full bio on TexasSports. Doesn't Hodo's dad have a baseball clinic in the Boerne area or did at one time ? HIGH SCHOOL· Earned four letters as a third baseman, catcher and pitcher for head coach Chuck Foster at Boerne (Texas) High School.· Holds Boerne High School career records for home runs (29), doubles (24), singles (105), runs (139) and RBI (133).· Tabbed a 2006 first-team All-American by the National High School Baseball Coaches Association. Batted .500 with 13 home runs and 55 RBI earning first-team all-state as a catcher, co-MVP of Greater San Antonio as sophomore and 4A State Player of the Year. https://texassports.com/sports/baseball/roster/russell-moldenhauer/2856
  3. Respect your posts, don't want to debate, but checked back Need to defend Moldenhauer. 🙂 Carter was a transfer from McLennan who came in Augie's first year (1997) and left. Baylor was a strong program and we were rebuilding. Perhaps he did not want to be part of the rebuild or other reasons. iirc, others left after Augie's first year. Moldenhauer was a highly rated catcher, outstanding hitter in high school. Competed with Preston Clark and Cameron Rupp. Primarily a DH and OF at Texas which resulted in lower draft position. Always a place in my heart for key hits against aggy. But certainly agree with your initial post. Alot of intangibles in recruiting.
  4. https://sunbeltsports.org/standings.aspx?path=baseball Texas St holding on to 1st place. Hope the Sun Belt Tournament is on ESPN+. So much at stake for deserving teams.
  5. https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022-mlb-draft-top-400-prospects Not sure of the accuracy, but above top 400 prospect list was free. Someone may want to check to see if I missed someone. Can't see Stevens rated above Hansen ? Jalin Flores, #117 Texas commit, infielder, SA Brandeis Ivan - #128 Silas - #138 Hodo - #180 Faltine - #232 Daly - #234 Nixon - #235 Stevens - #279 Hansen - #288
  6. Cool hand Lady ! Also, great pitching coaching job by MW this whole series.
  7. KSt going with their regular 3rd starter, McCullough, who closed the Thursday game with 14 pitches and threw 92 pitches Sunday vs Tech. It's not only the game pitches, it is getting loose and warming up pitches. #BoldStrategyCotton gif
  8. 2018 - Starters (Kingham, Henley, Shugart) BP (Parker Joe, Stevens, Elder, Bocchi, Sawyer) Kamron Fields (1.82) had a good year along with Jake McKenzie. Not sure they were no names, regardless they had good years. Phil Haig's exit as a volunteer asst was necessitated by Huston saving Pierce by introducing him to Tulo. Would Haig have been kept otherwise, who knows ? Like Pierce, Sean Allen's forte is recruiting - one of the best in college baseball. His coaching career has mainly been with hitters and infield, the exception when he first started his career as pitching coach/asst pitching coach at FIU for 3 years. His playing career was an infielder at UH. Will the combination of Pierce/Allen as pitching coaches provide long term success ? Led the B12 last year with era of 2.93 (conf only). As of today (5.19) which is 4th in conference in what is playing out as year of the hitter conference wide. The main role of a pitching coach, maybe equal or above mechanics, is to develop confidence. Sometimes you have to show trust in dificult situations.
  9. Great game by Dolcini and great coaching by MW to teach her how to attack the OU hitters. 3 mistakes. Disappointed that Singleton did not have hitters shorten their swings especially with two strikes and just try to make contact. Iakopo in the 6th was a terrible AB. Swung at 2 questionable inside pitches and then chased. Credit Rocha with knowing Iakopo can't lay off the inside pitch. Doing a fake bunt twice is ridiculous. Bahl can be beat by the more experienced teams with good coaching. She is too emotional. Very proud of the way the team played except for the errors.
  10. That he did ! 5.2/6H/3ER/0 BB/4K's Great in game interview with his parents. University of Texas Baseball often mentioned by announcers and his parents.
  11. http://roystream.com/g/baseball/mlb/washington-nationals-at-atlanta-braves#home-20
  12. http://rf.freestreams-live1.com/washington-nationals-live-stream/ Multitask and watch Elder makes his first MLB start. 6:20PM first pitch if link works.
  13. Conference only stats at the conference halfway mark. Slipped to #5 in Fielding but no worries, everyone is fielding well except OU and KSt. Note the ERA's, hitter's league. https://big12sports.com/stats.aspx?path=baseball&year=2022&conf=true (click on image for larger print)
  14. If they can win the CC (38 RPI), Ga Southern (25 RPI), and Texas St (37 RPI) series would improve their RPI of 58. But safest thing is to win the conference tournament. In other news, Florida beat Ark today 9-7 to end the Hogs' 13 straight conference series winning streak. Florida may be waking up, currently 5-7 in conference.
  15. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10701089/Bank-America-analyst-warns-clients-recession-shock-coming-days.html Above article released this PM, lengthy with several charts. Presented for comments. Note Dalio's comments. Economics is not my field or forte. Excerpts: A Bank of America analyst warned that the U.S. economy is deteriorating fast and could push the country into a recession just three days after Deutsche Bank predicted the fall to come in 2023 as the Federal Reserve tightens interest rates to tame surging inflation. BofA chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett wrote in a note to clients: ''Inflation shock' worsening, 'rates shock' just beginning, 'recession shock' coming.' Dalio argued that the Fed now faces a bind in which rate hikes will either be too low to reduce inflation, or too high for the economy to withstand. 'So what you have is an enough tightening by the Federal Reserve to deal with inflation adequately, and that is too much tightening for the markets and the economy,' he said. 'The Fed is going to be in a very difficult place a year from now as inflation still remains high and it starts to pinch on both the markets and the economy,' Dalio explained.
  16. Cornelio and Walker are regular starters for TCU. Perez, a solid relief pitcher, is making his first collegiate career start. Ricky Jacquez type, small in stature, but throws the heat. Doubt if they expect him to go very far. @Helobious area from Laredo Alexander, probably grew up wanting to be a Longhorn. Reading the TCU boards, they have hitting issues, especially from the DH.
  17. https://texaslonghorns.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventList?groupCode=BBSGT&linkID=tex-ath&shopperContext=&caller=&appCode= Check above link. Most lower level seats are sold so you have to go the StubHub or other market route. Upper seats may be available but not sure how many you need together. If you buy from the ticket office, consider L3 or L4 since it is a night game or R3, R4 is by the Texas bullpen and chance for postgame autographs. Your kids will enjoy being closer to the field More lively crowd if your kids are younger. Seems most prefer L3 or L4. Just have to watch for foul balls. But the upper seats provide a better view of the game. Check the ticket availability for your game and date and we can further provide info.
  18. Entertainment from the UH/SHSU game on Tuesday. Read that UH/SHSU have a rivalry and play for the Sanders Cup (whatever that may be). Houston won 8-6.
  19. https://mygoodstream.pw/espn/espn3.php?id=8c964604-95a4-4e60-8980-5c03964bb25f&co=jm Fla St vs Fl, 2-2, bottom of 6th. Good softball instead of this crap.
  20. Can't believe aggy Kendall is giving out free info. Click on link for comments.

  21. Grand Canyon has a solid program, currently #33 RPI. They are in the WAC, play non conf against the Calif schools, good program. Tech has another game against them tonight which should help Tech's RPI since they are playing in Arizona. If Pierce is going to play his starters all game, he should schedule them instead of UTRGV.
  22. https://mygoodstream.pw/espn/espn3.php?id=8ba9cd6f-bf24-4f24-9bae-0551dc3bafec&co=jm Should be good link. 1-1, 2nd inning.
