Any idea of his salary ? Luv Cameron and I hope he makes wise decisions on his future.

Did anyone see the Colo St/A&M CC game this AM ? Colo St won 1-0. Our game with Colo St at 2PM Sat may be the only challenge, These games look like Fall softball. Unfortunately, the future home tournaments (Texas Invitational and Longhorn Invitational) may be the same.

Excellent points all. May I add that it was reported that Perrin heavily relied on the input of Don Reese, fellow BMD, on the Pierce hire. I would hope that he also received input from former players and others but do not think that was the case. Tim Corbin, Vanderbilt, reportedly was interested but had just lost a player to an accidental drowning and could not leave under those circumstances. Having an interim AD, following a legend, and inheriting needed upgrades may have affected others like Kevin O'Sullivan (Florida) and Pat Casey (Oregon St). But the significant mistake by Perrin, imo, was not informally screening for viable candidates prior to releasing Augie. Augie had only 1 year left on his contract and it was known in March/April a change was needed. Hopefully, CDC keeps in mind future coaches for vacant positions. He did well on the Track hire, Coach Floreal.

Brewster was making 400K prior to the raise. Well travelled coach. Just a month or so ago Brewster entertained a job offer from Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M and instead got a raise from North Carolina to stay. https://keepingitheel.com/2020/02/06/unc-football-tim-brewster-leaves-tar-heels-florida-job/

Others may have more talent, skill, power, etc, but luv the way Lauren Burke plays the game. Not too high, not too low, steady.

Any idea why he is leaving Mack ?

I had Sec 3 tickets and dropped them mainly because of Patterson - now have regrets. Keep them one more year and sell the ones you don't want to attend. See how that works. "Bama comes to town in 2022.

That is a concern when you change catchers. Ellsworth not accustomed to game time action with Elish. May be also affecting Elish. Iakopo has caught Elish for most, if not all, of her career if not mistaken. @bschool prof -- do you recall who caught the most during the Fall ? Was Ellsworth still recovering from injury. I know Sullivan caught some, correct ?

Tantric and I have almost identical numbers - good except LDL is over 100. As discussed, the factors that require concern of LDL over 100 are age, cardiovascular health, family history, etc. LDL level from 100-129 is acceptable for people with no family history of CAD or health concerns. I debated with my physician before accepting his advice to take a statin (Lipitor). Each case differs, but my recommendation is to heed your physician's advice. We are not getting any younger, and watching these Longhorns the past few years does not help. 😊

Excerpt from a lengthy article. Fans should notice a few changes around McCombs Field when Texas opens its softball season on Thursday. The installation of a new 24-by-42 feet wide videoboard has been completed. The ongoing construction of the program’s player development facility will cause some chaos and confusion, and because of the construction, the Longhorns will use the first-base dugout and share a bullpen this season. On the field, star pitcher Miranda Elish will wear a mask after a “freak accident” cut short her junior season. There are five new freshmen on the roster, a new hitting coach and UCLA transfer Colleen Sullivan, who plays catcher and first base. Former catcher Mary Iakopo, who caught every pitch last season, will start at third base when Texas opens against Wichita State on Thursday in the Texas Classic. https://www.hookem.com/story/texas-opens-its-2020-softball-season-with-a-no-6-ranking-and-a-world-series-goal/

LHN schedule states Texas Press Conf today at 1:30. Anyone heard different ?

Need Stehly to be solid this year. May start at 3B to begin the season, played SS at OCC, hit .374, but does not appear to have the HR power Pierce covets. Texas junior infielder Murphy Stehly will honor his former coach by wearing the No. 14 throughout the 2020 baseball season. That number belonged to John Altobelli, the longtime head coach at Orange Coast College. Altobelli and NBA legend Kobe Bryant were two of the nine people killed in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26. Altobelli coached Stehly over the past two seasons. He was also teammates with Texas coach David Pierce at the University of Houston. At Texas, the No. 14 had been assigned to freshman pitcher Will Swope. At a team meeting on Tuesday, Swope handed off the jersey to Stehly. Swope will instead wear the No. 10 that was originally given to Stehly. https://www.hookem.com/2020/02/04/texas-murphy-stehly-to-wear-no-14-as-a-tribute-to-former-coach-john-altobelli/ AS A SOPHOMORE (ORANGE COAST COLLEGE) Orange Coast College's leading hitter as a sophomore in 2019, batting .374 with 41 RBI and 34 runs scored…led the Pirates with 17 doubles and 11 stolen bases…helped lead Orange Coast to the 2019 California Community College Baseball State Championship. AS A FRESHMAN (ORANGE COAST COLLEGE) Batted .328 in 39 games played during freshman season…hit nine doubles, three triples and two homers…stole a team-high 16 bases as a freshman. https://texassports.com/sports/baseball/roster/murphy-stehly/9326

Twice is correct based on my experience, especially the genes. Age, family history, etc are factors. Similar circumstances, good exercise program, overall good diet but LDL was 110, goal is -100. Asked doctor if I could try diet and he said, "Sure, but difficult and likely will not reduce LDL." Also, family history and age were factors. Take .20mg Lipitor, works great, no side effects.

Just a guess. (not necessarily batting order) Others welcome to opine. LF Kennedy CF Ellis 2B Ford 1B Zuniga DH Bertelson/Peter/Ardoin/Hodo (loss of Geib (season) and Duplantier (temp) hurts) C Petrinsky RF Todd SS Faltine 3B Stehly/Bertelson P Elder (Fri) Madden/Cobb (Sat) Sun (Cobb/Quintanilla/Kubichek) Closer (Fields/Diaz/Kubichek) LHP Burbank who had a great summer and freshmen need to contribute. (You guys go easy on my man Kamron at closer this year. 😊 Hoping Huston can give him confidence and slow his tempo. May be drafted fairly high. Family may want him to stay in school) Keep the following quote from Pierce in mind as we progess thru the season. Pierce said the Longhorns will get into their regular-season routine Tuesday. Ahead of the season-opening trip to Rice, Pierce said he wants to refine the team’s pitching, get the young players ready for chaotic situations and slow down the batters’ approach at the plate. “If we can accomplish those things, I think we can grow daily,” Pierce said. https://www.hookem.com/story/with-its-past-in-town-texas-looks-ahead-to-its-future-at-third-base/

Last season, Texas was represented in the major leagues by a half-dozen of its former baseball players. Mark Payton was not among those Texas Exes in the majors. An outfielder, Payton instead hit .334 with 30 homers over 118 games with Oakland’s Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas. Since 2017, Payton has played in 260 Triple-A games in the farm systems belonging to Oakland and the New York Yankees. This spring, Payton has his best shot at making a major league roster. Payton was acquired by Cincinnati in the Rule 5 Draft in December. Due to where the 28-year-old Payton was selected, the Reds must keep him on their 26-man roster for the entire 2020 season or he will be offered back to Oakland. “We think, given his level of success on the Triple-A level, he’s ready to ultimately compete for that type of role on our big league club,” Rob Coughlin, the Reds’ pro scouting director, told the Cincinnati Enquirer. Payton was among the professionals who appeared at Texas’ alumni game on Saturday. He told reporters that while an extended stay in Triple-A had been frustrating, he was ready for this upcoming opportunity. The Reds currently have 10 outfielders on their 40-man roster. “They took a chance so I’ve got to go out and play good in spring training and earn the spot that they gave me on their roster,” Payton said. Payton was a three-time all-conference honoree at Texas who twice led the Longhorns to the College World Series. Payton reached base safely in 101 consecutive games between the 2013-14 seasons and that remains an NCAA record. He was taken by the Yankees in the seventh round of the 2014 MLB Draft. Catching on: Former Texas catcher Tres Barrera made his MLB debut during the 2019 season. And since he was a member of the Washington Nationals, Barrera will receive a World Series ring as a welcome gift. Barrera appeared in two late-season games for the Nationals. He wasn’t active for any of the team’s postseason contests. “I was extremely grateful for the organization for letting me be around in the playoffs,” Barrera said. “I wasn’t active, but I gained a lot of knowledge of what playoff baseball’s all about, what winning’s all about (from) a great group of veteran guys.” Barrera said he wants to be a contributor this upcoming season and added that last year’s postseason experience “sparked a little fire from within.” Barrera is joined on the Nationals’ 40-man roster by veteran catchers Yan Gomes and Kurt Suzuki. Raudy Read, who has 22 at-bats in his career, is also on the 40-man roster. Ex-UT pitchers typically don’t throw in the program’s alumni game, and Texas head coach David Pierce said that is unlikely to change anytime soon because of professional contracts. Former Texas ace Nolan Kingham, though, found a way onto the field on Saturday. A 12th-round pick by Atlanta in 2018, Kingham went 7-12 with a 3.52 ERA for three of the Braves’ affiliates last season. At UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Saturday, Kingham said he hopes to begin this year in Double-A. https://www.hookem.com/story/texas-alumni-game-notebook-ex-longhorns-mark-payton-tres-barrera-eye-mlb-roles/

Email. Anyone familiar if the construction affects parking on the streets adjacent to McCombs ? Thanks ! This season we will debut our new videoboard and we're excited to share this with you. Outfield bleachers will be available later in the season for additional seating for high demand games. If you purchased a season parking pass, your pass is good for the surrounding surface lots, in addition to the East Campus Garage. Construction Changes and Updates Due to construction, dugouts for the teams have been switched. We anticipate this being the case only for this season. Gate 1 will be closed all season. The only entrance to the stadium this year will be along the first base ramp. Due to construction around the stadium, consider arriving earlier due to additional road congestion.

Best of luck in the future to the players that were cut. (if correct comparing to Fall roster) Bryce Reagan, IF (Soph) Turner Gauntt, C (RS Soph) Chase Roberts, OF (Soph) Tanner Haney, IF (Freshman) Grayson Lembcke, IF (Soph) Check my figures, I count 21 pitchers including Fields and Duplantier who also are position players. Normally carry 15-17, so next cuts may be pitchers. If Duplantier has any of his brother's genes (Diamondbacks) we will have something.

Hamate injuries are quite common in baseball caused by high, compression forces during a swing (see below article). CJ Hinojosa dealt with the same. As McComas states, full strength may take time. Though he brings power at the plate, I am excited to see Duplantier pitch. https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2014/5/2/5672834/hamate-fractures-and-power-in-the-pitchfx-era Hamate bone fractures are one of the more common upper extremity injuries seen in baseball, not only due to the abundance of occasional wayward pitches or foul tips striking a glancing blow to the area, but also due to where hitters position their hands on the bat, which can introduce repetitive, high compression forces on the bone during a swing, but in particular, during a checked swing. Along with the forces and motions mentioned, the hook-like protrusion of the bone—also called the hamulus or hook of hamate— and certain vascular features make the hamate (lettered 'H' in the image below) predisposed to injury.

From today's AAS. Best wishes for a full recovery. First surgery was at the age of 13. Her instagram has some touching words if someone can embed (her messasge avail in AAS link) Texas freshman middle blocker Asjia O’Neal revealed in an Instagram post on Wednesday night that she had recently had heart surgery for the second time. O’Neal said the surgery was conducted at the Cleveland Clinic last week. The 20-year-old O’Neal, who had her first open heart surgery seven years ago, wrote that she was “feeling better and doing more each day.” In her Instagram post, O’Neal shared the videotaped well wishes that she received from NBA superstar LeBron James. O’Neal’s father, Jermaine, played in the NBA for 18 seasons. O’Neal also said she believes that she will be healthy enough to play during the 2020 season. Like O’Neal, Texas is optimistic that she will be available for this upcoming season. UT coach Jerritt Elliott did say on Thursday that O’Neal will not participate in spring drills. “It’s something that’s she’s obviously been dealing with since her childhood. I think her parents have done a great job and the university has done a great job of putting the right team around her and getting her to a spot where she’s able to get healthy,” Elliott said. “We wanted to see if she could get back to playing again. Everything shows that she’s in a god spot to return so there should be no concerns there.” https://www.hookem.com/2020/01/23/texas-middle-blocker-asjia-oneal-feeling-better-open-heart-surgery/
