As the former leader of the Texas Senate and member for 13 years, hopefully BOR Chairman Kevin Eltief has laid the groundwork. Don't think he would let the lege be blindsided. He impresses as a shrewd little bastard.

Could someone who does Twitter tweet @TexasBaseball and ask to tweet a Summer League Roster ? TexasSports no longer publishes the roster. Hope Melendez is somewhere working on a position (or receiving individual instruction). Summer League rosters are often incomplete/inaccurate, but what is known/listed: Campbell is playing 3B at Santa Barbara this Summer, hitting .422 but fielding .786. 6 errors in 10 games. CapeCod Gordon, Hodo - Falmouth (Gordon made the Cape All Star game) Witt - Chatham Faltine, Hansen - Brewster Southard - Orleans CCL Campbell, Eckardt, Nixon - Santa Barbara Coastal Plain League Johnson - Lexington

https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/draft/ Signings as of 18 Jul. Others have signed for a similar bonus. Cubs signed their 6th rd choice for 1K. Have a great career Mike and make the bastards pay. Edit: If not reported, Cam got 20K in the 19th rd. Slot 125K.

Are there any signs of mold in the area, dark spots on wall, carpet, odor, etc ? May want to have a mold inspection by the City Health Dept, or another agency. Would force the landlord to make repairs if mold is found.

https://www.aggiesportstalk.com/discussion/1616/uc-davis-baseball-team-and-coaching-staff-suspended The letter concluded with, “we are committed to conducting a thorough assessment to determine the best path forward to provide a safe and inclusive experience for all team members. We will keep you informed if there are updates we’re able to share prior to the start of the fall quarter. UC Davis fan forum. You may have a point, juan. One poster speculates hazing. Team was 14-43 this year (ouch) ! Remember our Regional at Long Beach St in '17. Their coach (Troy Buckley) was fired mid season '19 for player abuse (e.g., throwing balls at players in anger) and other acts.

WSJ today (excerpts). "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" Powell's term ends in Feb. Next 7 months critical for the economy and Powell. Any indication of how he is perceived by the WH ? Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said inflation had increased notably and would likely remain elevated in the coming months before moderating. Inflation “has been higher than we’ve expected and a little bit more persistent than we had expected and hoped,” Mr. Powell said in testimony Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee. Pandemic-related bottlenecks and other supply constraints created “just the perfect storm of high demand and low supply” that led to rapid price increases for certain goods and services, he said. Mr. Powell said he expects that these effects “should partially reverse as the effects of the bottlenecks unwind. While the Fed and many private sector forecasters had expected inflation to rise this year as a surge in consumer spending collided with pandemic-related shortages and bottlenecks, the strength of the last three monthly inflation readings has been greater than many anticipated. While inflation is expected to decline, questions abound over how soon and how low inflation will fall relative to the Fed’s 2% target. “The incoming inflation data have been higher than expected and hoped for, but they’re actually still consistent with what we’ve been talking about,” said Mr. Powell, with inflation coming from a “small group of goods and services that are directly tied to the reopening of the economy.” Mr. Powell added, “We are monitoring the situation very carefully. We are committed to price stability, and if we were to see that inflation were…remaining materially high or above our target for a period of time, and it was threatening to uproot inflation expectations and create a risk of a longer period of inflation, we would absolutely change our policy as appropriate.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/powell-expects-inflation-to-moderate-but-will-likely-remain-elevated-this-year-11626265800

Probably both. Connecting the dots between Antico and Texas was Jerry Weinstein. Antico's manager with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod summer league in 2019, Weinstein knew Pierce. He also had previously worked with the Colorado Rockies while UT volunteer coach Troy Tulowitzki was an all-star shortstop there. https://www.hookem.com/story/sports/baseball/2021/06/03/texas-baseball-anticos-move-st-johns-has-been-happy-one/7505507002/ Re: Messinger Likely alot will depend on draft. Taken by Cubs in 22d round after high school (2017). otoh, may have graduated and wants to pursue grad degree at Texas.

Stats say no errors in 57 chances this year. He played mostly 3B in high school and at Odessa College. May have seen limited time at 1B. The concern is Pierce did not give him much PT on defense in midweek games so it may be lacking or Pierce playing safe. He may leave with a mid round or even later draft position. Unless he is a high draft pick, highly rated '21 signee Gavin Kash is the future at 1B (another reason Ivan may opt to leave). Peter Geib (whose talent has not been given an opportunity injury one reason) is another option at 1B. Our infrequent poster @Snake Diggity is more well versed, perhaps he will opine. Draft begins Sunday, 11 Jul, 6PM, ESPN.

Nice story about Gallo and 3B coach Beasley. (excerpts) ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers All-Star slugger Joey Gallo has never forgotten that day he spent during spring training five years ago with Tony Beasley — a nearly four-hour chemotherapy session to treat the coach's cancer. When Gallo steps into the box for the Home Run Derby in Denver on Monday night, Beasley will be throwing to him — as the third base coach has in batting practice before Rangers games throughout the 27-year-old slugger's big league career. While Beasley had planned to spend next week's break at home in Virginia, the former minor league All-Star infielder who never played in the majors couldn't turn down Gallo. “He was relieved, but it made me feel good that I felt like I was his only choice,” Beasley said. “And he went back to 2016 when we spent time together in chemotherapy and that type of stuff, he felt like that would be a good opportunity to shed light on cancer and the possibility of inspiring people https://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/article/Rangers-Gallo-Beasley-s-Impact-16306229.php

Not sure, @Fletch alluded to that earlier in the year. Huston was in the stands at Omaha.

Tulo is listed on our roster as an Assistant Coach though he is a Volunteer Asst. Yeskie was hired as the pitching coach, a great hire, super pitching coach and recruiter with West Coast connections. Cain recruited for LSU and knows the Houston area, Texas, and the South. My guess (guess only) is Earley is the Volunteer Asst. May take a year or two but they should be good, very good. Long term it could affect our recruiting success in the Houston area. Things fell into place for Schlossnagle being able to hire top assistants after head coaching changes at LSU and Arizona.

Excerpts: (not an oil baron, just have royalty interests) OPEC+ was set to reconvene for crisis talks via videoconference at 2 p.m. London time Monday. However, after a two-hour delay, Reuters, citing two sources, said that the meeting had been postponed. The reports were later confirmed by a communique from OPEC which said that “the date of the next meeting will be decided in due course.” Bloomberg also reported that it meant OPEC+ would continue with production quotas at current levels. “For us, it wasn’t a good deal,” UAE Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail Al Mazrouei told CNBC’s Hadley Gamble on Sunday. He added that while the UAE was willing to support a short-term increase in oil supply, it wants better terms through 2022. OPEC+, which is dominated by Middle East crude producers, agreed to implement massive crude production cuts in 2020 in an effort to support oil prices when the coronavirus pandemic coincided with a historic fuel demand shock. Led by Saudi Arabia, a close ally of the UAE, OPEC+ has since initiated monthly meetings in a bid to navigate production policy. It has resulted in a rare public stand-off between the UAE and its long-time regional ally Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s de facto leader. The dispute comes as energy market participants anxiously await policy direction that is likely to shape crude markets into next year. Responding to the reports, John Kilduff, a founding partner at Again Capital, said that the “Opec solidarity dissolved today.” https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/05/opec-meeting-saudi-arabia-uae-in-focus-over-oil-output-policy.html

Pierce's strength is his recruiting contacts throughout the country. Read that Antico was on the radar due to a contact in the Cape Cod League that saw him at St Johns. Blair had a rec from someone that mattered.

Good point ! Proud of her gritty performance against OU considering the circumstances. We seem to be missing that team leader who keeps everyone engaged both on and off the field. Chelsea Spencer seemed to do that as an assistant coach. Kept morale high.

Informative summary by Rogers and Fitt. Should note that Chris Burke stated on SECN that Arizona's offensive numbers may be inflated due to the elevation in Arizona. Claimed that was the case when he played for the Diamondbacks. #SEC homer

Congrats, Tommy ! Good Luck ! #LifetimeLonghorn Tommy Nicholson enters his fourth season with the program in 2021 after arriving in 2018 alongside the Clarke and Elizabeth Nelson Director of Baseball David Esquer. Nicholson serves as the team’s hitting, infield and third base coach. .

Please explain further. Not doubting your word, just did not hear that discussed. Virginia did have a slightly higher RPI (39 - 44).

With all of the attention on Covid, suppose the NCAA is still drug testing tournament teams. Specifically, adderall which increases focus. I may need a dose myself for the euphoria side effect after this game.

https://www.uiltexas.org/baseball/state Above is schedule for State Tournament if anyone is interested.

Concern is the effect on recruiting in the Houston area. We have made great strides in that area under Pierce (with his connections) and the demise of Rice. New kid on the block always attracts attention.

8-2, 4th in. Must ashamedly admit I watch the game with no sound and tuned in late. What did they say about Fouts ? Overuse, injury ? Did not start yesterday and bombed today. So often when a pitcher has a no hitter, perfect game in her case, the next outings are subpar. If OU beats Fla St, I may jump.

TCU forum opines to remain close to his children. Remember seeing him play catch with his son at the Disch before the games at the '10 SR. Tough situation for him. Also said he left Lupton yesterday very quickly without speaking to anyone - including player's parents who always gather nearby after games.

Same sentiments for Coach Candrea as posted above for Lu. A great one, a professional ! Enjoy retirement, Coach.

Great coach ! The game will miss her ! Like the way she waited until after the season for the announcement. Her players may have known but she did not want the attention to be taken from her team, unlike Manieri at LSU. Enjoy retirement, Lu, job well done !
