The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel on Thursday approved allowing the use of one-way electronic communication devices for the purpose of calling pitches and plays. The rule goes into effect for the 2021-22 academic year. Examples of what could be implemented next season include teams being allowed to use an electronic display board from the dugout that shows a numerical code to call pitches and/or defensive plays. Teams also can use a one-way in-ear communication device that would be limited for use from the dugout to the catcher. Several conferences, including the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Pac-12, Southeastern and Sun Belt in 2021, have experimented with in-ear communication and other one-way electronic communication devices to call pitches from the dugout the past four seasons. https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/general-use-of-one-way-electronic-devices-approved-in-baseball

Not sure this is the right forum, but he would appreciate being honored. Shocked to read that Chris Lippincott , 47, passed away from pneumonia (not Covid related). Some may have known him or have seen him at the Disch. Chris was a very avid Texas Baseball fan, sitting in Section 2, keeping score, and watching his beloved 'Horns, rarely missing a game. The most congenial, the most respected, one of the most intelligent persons you will meet. I would encourage you to read the complete story of his life below. Thoughts and prayers for his wife and children. Excerpts: Outside of his family, Lippincott's real love was UT baseball. During his time as an undergraduate, Lippincott would haul his books to games believing that spectating would amount to some form of studying, according to friends Lippincott was a fixture at Longhorn baseball games where he could often be seen on the first base line. His wife noted that even from a hospital bed, he followed UT's recent run to the College World Series. "He said, 'Hey how bad can it be when I can watch Longhorn baseball on the TV here at the hospital?'" Elizabeth Lippincott said. Later his spirits were lifted by being placed in a hospital room at St. David's Hospital that afforded him a view of the UT Tower and Royal-Memorial Stadium. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/08/12/austin-texas-transportation-department-political-insider-media-expert-chris-lippincott-dies/5555994001/

Nolensville, Tn goes all in for the Vanderbilt look. 🙂 Actually, good to see LL teams copying college teams. Vandy recruiting pipeline.

https://www.vaayu-group.com/ Their parent group is based in Washington state. Would it be worthwhile to make contact ? And also explain the dilemma from your post #16.

Thanks for the correction ! Because of no International Teams this year ?

Update: Colo vs Abilene, Mon, 8PM, ESPN2 Winner vs La, Tues, 6PM, ESPN for a trip to Williamsport La defeated Colo today 11-0 without extending their pitching staff. Would be nice to see Abilene pull the upset, but will be a challenge (sayin' there is a chance/gif) #stayawayCovid

Thanks for the informative post. - Would it be fair to say that parents prefer their child to focus on one and not play both Select and LL ? Possibly leading to less talent in LL. - Do you know what area composes Northside LL ? iirc, the Northside softball team was from the Helotes area.

Hope the city of Needville honors them with a parade, picnic, celebration in recognition of being the Texas East Champions.

Needville defeats Arkansas, 13-0. Looked good, can see how they beat Pearland. Lafayette defeats Abilene, 6-1. Looks like the team to beat. Well coached, confident. Game Sat against Needville should be a good one. Abilene better than they played. Lafayette batter HBP (head) in 2nd inn, taken to hospital, seemed ok, walking, but it affected Abilene more than Lafayette. Abilene pitcher was crying, should have been replaced, gave up runs on walks that inning then replaced. Abilene players seemed to be affected for rest of game.

Just about to post the same. Road to Williamsport (19-29 Aug) begins today in Waco. All games on LHN. Texas is represented by Abilene (West) and Needville (East). Would like to hear from the regulars here about the effect of Select on regular LL. Seems to have increased. Unusual to see some of the regulars missing like Post Oak, Pearland and McAllister Park. https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2021/llbws/tournaments/southwest-region/

Appreciate the updates !

Feel bad for Kumar. Reports say elbow issue, maybe UCL ? He threw 122 inn this year (Leiter 110, Madden 113). Have to wonder if it was issue during the season and what Vandy did to protect him. Fink is a writer for Fangraphs.

https://d1baseball.com/top-stories/the-d1baseball-podcast-sec-addition-reaction-extended-draft-analysis/ Don't subscribe to D1, but first 17 minutes of this podcast may cover some points of referenced article. Summary: (if you listen, may have other takes) - SEC will be more powerful, possibly influencing more scholarships - OU will need to "step up" in baseball to be competitive in the SEC , especially facility wise. - Texas relinquished power to join the SEC including the LHN and B12 conference prestige. - Outlook bleak for conference baseball for remaining members possibly with the exception of Tech if they go to the P12 and if WVU goes to ACC. (not sure I agree, TCU. OKSt, and Baylor also can compete like the non P5 West Coast and Florida/Carolinas schools. They will need a strong ooc schedule for RPI but you don't necessarily want them in your Regional as a 3/4 seed).

The USA baseball team features 12 former NCAA baseball players, including 2013 Men's College World Series champion Eric Filia of UCLA. Team USA will play Israel at 6 a.m. ET on Friday, Jul 30 and South Korea at 6 a.m. ET on Saturday, July 31. Knockout phase begins 1 Aug. https://www.usabaseball.com/team-usa/professional-team/roster

No knowledge to make a recommendation, but thoughts and prayers for your wife for a successful recovery. The physicians in Colorado may be able to provide a recommendation/referral ?

Well said, with the exception of the idiot comment about our resident North Loop. 😊 Pierce certainly has earned and deserves an extension. Key will be for how many years ( ideally, not more than 2-3 with a fair, realistic buyout). As for the staff, Tulo, where would we be... ? Sean Allen and Phil Miller, recruiting and talent evaluators - second to none. Development, let's wait a year or two before they claim a spot among the elite.

2-0 Japan. Painful to see the expressions of Cat and Monica Abbott. Two legends. On home soil, in an event their nation rescued from a state of Olympic neglect specifically for these Games, Japan’s softball team delivered a near flawless performance to defeat the United States 2-0 in a gold medal rematch 13 years in the making. The pitching matchup was a poetically familiar one. 4,724 days after squaring off in the Beijing 2008 gold medal game, 38-year-old Cat Osterman and 39-year-old Ueno Yukiko shared the pitching circle once again. Osterman, though, was unable to locate her best stuff and lasted just one batter into the third inning. Japanese batters reached base in each frame against the two-time Olympic medalist, though stellar defense from the U.S. fielders kept the game scoreless Michele Moultrie authored one of the defensive highlights of the entire tournament in the bottom of the second, robbing Ichiguchi Yuka of an RBI extra-base hit with a spinning grab at the wall. After Osterman began the top of the third with a walk, Team USA head coach Ken Eriksen removed the two-time Olympic medalist from the game in favor of relief pitcher Ally Carda. Osterman allowed two hits and did not record a strikeout. Carda – with the help of second base Ali Aguilar – got the U.S. out of a third inning jam to keep Osterman’s earned run total for the tournament at zero. In top of the fourth, though, Japan scraped across the first run of the game on an infield single by Atsumi Mana, driving in Fujita Yamato from third. Midway through the fifth inning, Monica Abbott entered as Team USA’s third pitcher. She allowed a single to her first batter, Fujita, scoring an inherited runner to give Japan a 2-0 lead. All along, Ueno, backed by mistake-free Japanese defense, piled up the outs. She exited after five shutout innings allowing just two hits and striking out five. Relief pitcher Goto Miu worked into trouble in the sixth as the United States put runners on first and second. One of the wildest defensive plays in Olympic softball history got Japan out of the inning. The U.S. did not put a runner aboard in the seventh as Ueno returned to close out the game. https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/japan-repeats-softball-champs-13-years-apart-downing-united-states-final

Thanks for the correction to 6AM.

He would have "cleaned house" in June at the latest. RIP, George ! Son said a few weeks ago, (para) "Dad's moves did not always workout." Win 7 titles and then talk. These players are weak because there is no pressure to win.

Gold Medal Game, USA vs Japan, 7AM(CST) Tuesday, NBCSNH Ch1640 Uverse. NBC has a sports app for streaming. Perhaps @Lostman can verify times and provide further details. If you have never seen these two teams play, super competitive. USA won 2-1 Sunday in the round robin game on a walkoff HR by Kelsey Stewart, former UF player. Cat pitched in relief.

Yes, but infielder in high school. With the transfers (Messinger, O'Dowd) seems he will remain in OF and/or DH. No idea if he is a 1B candidate.

Wow ! very sorry to hear ! Hopefully, Drew has trained someone on the complexity of being the Director of Baseball Operations to assume the position or assist the selectee. His uber congenial personality and knowledge will be difficult to replace. He was a member of the '05 Championship Team. Best always to Drew and his Family !
