  1. If any ATX area fans are interested in attending. ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) — One of the biggest names in baseball is set to get game action at Dell Diamond Wednesday Night. Three-time Cy Young award winner Max Scherzer will make a rehab start for the Round Rock Express at 7:05 p.m. Wednesday against the Salt Lake Bees. https://www.kxan.com/sports/max-scherzer-set-for-round-rock-rehab-start-wednesday-night/
  2. Checked to see why a Thursday game. Nichols St is 25-21, tied for 3rd place in the Southland Conf (McNeese, Lamar, UIW, aggy Corpus, etc). Likely asked to play on Thursday because they play UIW in San Antonio on Friday. 2024 Softball Schedule - Nicholls State University Athletics (geauxcolonels.com)
  3. Congrats to former Texas Asst and head coach at Kansas Jennifer McFalls. Kansas is improving under her watch, best in the future. And to her Mom, a breast cancer survivor.
  4. https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/354aafe37aa0a42c04081ebbb93de8ee7531422ba721abc3ff758f434c2587ab Austin radar. Looks pretty good until about 7PM.
  5. Let's hope Citilaly has a strong performance. She and TK haven't been their sharpest as of late. I thought TK may be tiring as she has thrown 82 IP (most, Mac 63, Citilaly 60) but checking her bio she threw 128 IP in '22 Spring/Summer travel ball circuit.
  6. AUSTIN, Texas ­– Texas Baseball has moved the start time of the Saturday, April 20 game versus TCU to 4 p.m. due to forecasted inclement weather. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2. Baseball moves Saturday game to 4 p.m. - University of Texas Athletics (texassports.com)
  7. Looking at the Kansas stats, Ludwig (starting today) is a soph starting her first game this year with only 8 IP, 5.88era. Their aces are Hamilton and Brooks who have started 38 of their 42 games. Perhaps injury or McFalls is gambling on game 1 or knows something we don't. Kaitlyn Slack is now Kaitlyn Chiles.
  8. Not sure if current, but before they consulted with the pros at the National Weather Service.
  9. Hughes is from that area and I think they have 3 or 4 players on the roster from the area. I read that aggy also recruits NE looking for the superstar Ivy Leaguer.
  10. Twenty-four of his 39 pitches were strikes. When it came to velocity, none of his' pitches hit 90 miles per hour on the radar gun. He mostly sat in the 80s, and dipped into the high 70s a few times. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/baseball/2024/04/17/top-texas-baseball-hitter-jared-thomas-makes-pitching-debut-in-utrgv-loss/73327936007/
  11. Sounds like the JT pitching experiment will continue. Second link is another game article. Pierce is well protected by the AAS, LHN, and Radio Broadcast. LHN "Game Plan With David Pierce" is scheduled at 7PM tonight if interested. "I'm trying to win. The reason why is because I think he's a kid that can help us just like Cade, just like (Whitehead)," Pierce said after the UTRGV game. "At the end of the day, we're trying to win baseball games and I'm not going to sit and watch the same stuff happen without trying to explore all of our different options. I really think JT's an option." "JT is a good pitcher, I'm telling you," Pierce said. "It wasn't perfect, but we've got a lot of baseball to play after that. I'd much rather have done it tonight to start versus his first time in a leverage situation. He has toughness, he has grit and he'll figure things out."

  12. Watched aggy beat Alabama tonight winning the series. 3rd in SEC, #10RPI, remaining series vs Ole Miss and @ Florida. So they will likely host, could be in discussion for a top 8 seed should they win the Florida series and win or make finals of SEC tournament. Regardless, we may again be paired with them in the postseason. Last year media projections began around the 3rd week of April. Selection show: May 12 at 7 p.m. ET | ESPN2 Regionals: May 16/17-19 Super Regionals: May 23-25 or May 24-26 Women's College World Series: May 30-June 6/7 in Oklahoma City https://www.ncaa.com/news/softball/article/2024-04-12/2024-ncaa-softball-bracket-womens-college-world-series-scores-schedule
  13. Time off before Kansas series on Friday much needed. Pitching staff needs to rest and refine.
  14. Excerpts from the Statesman. Grubbs Friday, Ace Sat, Sun TBA Pierce said that Texas will shake up its pitching rotation this weekend. Max Grubbs will be UT's Friday starter and Ace Whitehead will remain in his Saturday slot. Pierce has not yet revealed who will pitch on Sunday Texas used Johnson in relief during a game at Texas State on Tuesday. He allowed four hits and a run over two innings. "One of the reasons why we threw him yesterday is just to get him back out there, build some confidence, pounding the strike zone and building off of that," Pierce said. "That's just where we are right now" Pierce has traditionally not been a coach who likes to hold team meetings following wins or losses. But the Longhorns quickly retreated to the locker room after the final out on Wednesday was recorded. After he eventually emerged from meeting with his team to speak with reporters, Pierce said "we've just got to play better. It starts with me." https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/baseball/2024/04/10/texas-beaten-by-texas-state-before-big-12-baseball-series-at-houston/73264751007/
  15. True. They are keeping game 2 at 7 due to LHN telecasting the Texas/Texas St softball game which begins at 4:30.
  16. Props to Coach VanDerveer for waiting until after the title game to announce - no distraction from the game.
  17. Time to start noticing UCF. They beat KSt today for their 4th consecutive conference series win after being swept by OU to begin conference play. 21-8 overall, 8-7 in conference. #6 RPI, only B12 school in top 25 (25). Currently watching OkSt/OU (7-5 OKSt after 7). Like watching a CWS game with the crowd. They had 8K Friday and likely as many today. They need to continue that series.
  18. Great series win, just don't lose focus. Czech's improvement from year to year has been phenomenal. Great job, Mike !
  19. https://www.kxan.com/sports-general/horns-report/longhorns-drop-finale-vs-byu-lose-1st-big-12-series-of-the-season/ KXAN videos can't be embedded but article has a short Pierce interview. "evaluate" "Players upset, but don't always take it the way we do" "students" can't continue to beat it up, makes it tougher" "Grubbs did not have put away slider" Would be nice to see complete interview. Media does not do a good job with baseball and softball. Perhaps more coverage on the paysites.

  21. Check the Fla/LSU game, no score after 4.5.
  22. If not aware, Florida is hosting LSU at 5PM (CT) scheduled on ESPN before our 7PM game. Meaning the broadcast will likely start on the ESPN App. Per the schedule, ESPN2 and ESPN News have college baseball. Pray for a no hitter in Gainesville. Weather is good. Edit: ESPN+ shows a simultaneous broadcast with ESPN
  23. The post directly above #2760. My bad, thought I recalled you posting Statesman articles.
  24. @YGIFS Do you have a sub to the Statesman ? Would also like to read Mark's link. TIA.
  25. Statesman. Excerpts: Article worth a read, player quotes and coachspeak. Interesting to see if he goes with Mac in game 1 to take pressure off Kavan. Mac took a 3-1 lead into the 7th last year but gave up a tying HR to Coleman. Citilaly relieved and gave up hits. “We're hoping that whatever happens here (this weekend) prepares us for even later in the season,” White said. “We can't win or lose the national championship this weekend.” “I mean, she (Morgan) has been there and done that before,” he said. “This is her third year, and she’s been in those big situations. Estelle is another one that's been there. Obviously, it's tough for a freshman like Kavan to be able to come out in that situation, but it's also a learning thing for her, too.” https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/softball/2024/04/04/texas-longhorns-softball-eager-for-top-five-showdown-with-national-champ-oklahoma-big-12/73163234007/
