  1. I thought the same but then checked. Next guy (Cook) is hitting .345 and was 3-4 today. 3rd guy (Parks) is hitting .342 and was 1-2 today. Pick your poison. Great game to start the Greatest Show on Dirt.

  3. https://baseball.pointstreak.com/player_search.html?leagueid=166&seasonid=33853&letter=B List for Cape Cod. Cursory look shows Gasparino at Chatham and Belyeu at Cotuit. Cape season starts 15 June. Some games may be on YouTube. Sam Ardoin (in portal) and Borba are listed at San Luis Obispo (CCL). Not sure Borba has reported. Summer league rosters (especially early) are often inaccurate for a myriad of reasons.
  4. Best to give him a chance to respond. Seems like city government would be concerned water was not drained into a storm or sewer drain due to health concerns, mosquitoes, etc. May want to readdress the issue with them at the supervisory level.
  5. Coach shows great class with opening statement. Quotes DKR when asked why he left Moore in "Dance With The One Who Brung Ya". Can't agree in this case.
  6. Thanks for the correction. Went to their schedule, Jones gave up 7 hits in 3.1 inn to Grambling, 0 runs.
  7. If no injury, Schlossnagle tried to get cute by starting Sdao, only his 4th start of year. His other main starters are Jones and Lampkin.
  8. Today's schedule. (ET) Sunday, June 9 Georgia vs. NC State, noon (ESPN2) Clemson vs. Florida, 2:30 p.m. (ESPN) Evansville vs. Tennessee. 6:00 p.m. (ESPNU) Texas A&M vs. Oregon, 7:30 p.m. (ESPN2) Kentucky vs. Oregon State, 9 p.m. (ESPNU) https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/2024-ncaa-baseball-tournament-bracket-scores-schedule-super-regionals-underway-for-college-world-series/
  9. Braden Montgomery lost for the postseason on this play. Possibly got a cleat caught while trying to creatively determine how to slide around catcher. Was out by a mile, question on whether he should have been sent. No matter how much we hate aggy, hope Braden fully recovers for a successful MLB career.
  10. https://www.secsports.com/2024-softball-stats-pdf A new dawn is upon us. Note the drop in BA after Florida and aggy. And an overall league ERA of 2.52. Coaches and players will have to step up. As much as we dislike OU, JT Gasso does a tremendous job with their hitters for in game adjustments and game preparation. He is largely responsible for their confidence and success.
  11. Good points ! The team does have a mental coach (for lack of a better description). He is a tall, slim guy in the dugout not often seen. Statesman had an article about him, can't find link. A relatively young team compared to OU and all the distracting media hype were key factors. Being older and wiser will eliminate that. Regardless, great season for an outstanding group on and off the field.
  12. In an interview during the regular season series, Gasso stated Czech matches up well with their LH hitters. The tone of her comment was one of respect. Czech relieved TK in the regular season game 2 (2-1 win), 3.1 inn, 3H, 0 runs. That said, OU does a masterful job with film study and adjusting approach. In the B12 championship game, they slowed their bats and went to right field several times on Citialy.
  13. Definitely ! But his mission was to heal the wounds of the alumni after Patterson for which he succeeded.
  14. Chase graduated in May with a Communications degree. He is almost 24. Hope he is a late round draft choice or free agent contract if he chooses.

    Checked for further info. Freshmen are bailing out in Lubbock. May be because Tadlock is going heavy on portal ? Garet Boehm is Gage's brother, an infielder. Perfect Game rated him #1 3B in the State. Hit .389 with 1 HR in only 18 AB. Stripling appeared in 33 games with 24 starts for the Red Raiders this season. He hit for a .253 average with four home runs, three doubles and drew 17 walks in 99 plate appearances during his freshman season in Lubbock. He will have three years of eligibility remaining. On Sunday, Travis Sanders, Davis Rivers and Garet Boehm announced their entries into the transfer portal. All three players were freshmen this season who saw limited action for the Red Raiders. Rivers appeared in 19 games, Sanders 13 and Boehm 11. https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/sports/college/red-raiders/2024/06/03/gavin-kash-texas-tech-baseball-players-headed-to-transfer-portal/73957080007/
  16. And finished 3rd in Omaha. lol Eliminated with 1 run loss in 10 inn to national champion Vanderbilt. The 365' ft alley to right center is embarrassing for Texas Baseball. DFF designed by Gus was the same dimensions as Omaha. Please update us on paysite info about Pierce.
  17. On the YouTube link are the press conferences for ULL, Grambling, and aggy if interested.
  18. SEC Commissioner Sankey on SEC Tourn in Hoover (exercpts) Note the ingress/egress issue. "We're going to be certainly in Hoover for a few more years. They've made commitments," Sankey said of the city's efforts. "You can see the entry. You can see the redone parking lot. You could walk through the facility and see enhancement plans before we play again next year. They've built the Finley Center, which is an all-purpose building that really accommodates our fans in an outstanding way. ... "I made some notes about ingress and egress (this year). There's a direct way in. We were stacked up about a mile and a half on the 459 when I was driving in about two hours before the game. How do we reduce the fan friction to access the facility is top of mind. Now, credit to the city of Hoover. They actually sent people out to buy bottles of water that they were handing out, and they had done preparation in advance knowing that there'd be a great crowd and dealing with the heat. ... But we need to continue to work on reducing the challenges, if you will, for access for those big crowds." Sankey noted how the Hoover Met draws large audiences, even on school nights. He mentioned a story in which an Ohio State fan came up to him during the tournament and told him they had previously seen the enviornment and wanted to be a part of it. "I think we want to respect that we've built something special in that location," Sankey said. "... The geographic center, even after this next expansion, is just north of Birmingham. So, it's an accessible place if you want to get there. It's going to be distant from the outer edges of the league, but it's a pretty special place. We've got 250-plus RV hookups that sellout just like that. If you ever walk through that community, for one week it is a community. (It's) fun to see people enjoying college baseball in a really unique way." Sankey was also asked about the potential desire to put more tournaments in the western half of the conference landscape, especially now that the Longhorns and Sooners are involved. "The pressure is to get the site location right," Sankey said. "There are sets of championships that do rotate around. Those are campus-based championships. ... We actually looked diligently and have surfaced that issue, identified that issue with our membership to say, 'Hey, we're ready to look west. We have looked west.' But the opportunities we've had in other locations have just been voted the priority. ... "We'll continue to look at western opportunities. I was vocal about it, but the decisions made by our membership has created the inventory in the locations we have." https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/2024/05/29/sec-baseball-tournament-hoover-met-greg-sankey/73900368007/
  19. I watched the Florida series. She pitched a gem in game 2, 5 hits/2 runs. (5-2 win) They brought her back to start game 3 instead of Binford and she gave up 4 runs in 1st inning. Binford relieved and gave up 1 run on 2 hits the rest of the way. (5-3 loss). Hope going to portal is not an emotional decision.
  20. No, Heffler was the coach ejected yesterday. Harger ejected in Florida. They look like brothers and both are aholes. https://12thman.com/sports/softball/roster
  21. Anyone know if Singleton is suspended today ? Or if umpire crew chief/NCAA can waive the rule ? Not sure, what I found is below. Big loss if he is suspended, always provides in game consult with the hitters. Penalties for Coach Ejection The ejected coach must leave the playing field and dugout area immediately and is not allowed to communicate with the team or umpires. The ejected coach is suspended for the next regularly scheduled contest (one game). The suspended coach is not allowed to participate in any manner during the suspension. Additional Notes A coach who is ejected from a game can appeal the decision to the NCAA. The NCAA Softball Rules Committee has the authority to eject a coach from a game for unsportsmanlike conduct or misconduct. Coaches are expected to maintain a professional demeanor and not engage in behavior that is deemed unsportsmanlike.

  22. Sun came up this morning. Many remember the Arkansas Fayetteville Super Regional in '22 when we lost game 1, then won the next 2 for MW's first trip to the WCWS with Texas. 4 of today's starters were on that team (Dayton, Maloney, Scott, Washington) with Czech, Cimusz, and Simpson. May they inspire the others.
  23. Read an interview with Amanda Scarborough. She said Texas has the most pressure being the #1 seed and expected to advance to the WCWS. In Trisha Ford's only 2nd year aggy is loose and playing with house money. I did not have the opinion her statement was pro aggy but made a good point. As stated above by others, the last 2 innings were very, very important to give momentum and create doubt for aggy. We got Kennedy to over 100 pitches today when at first it did not look like we would. This is not baseball, but in this heat it matters.
  24. The scouting report on how to pitch to Cannon is in error.
