  1. B12 and Tech will no longer be our concern, but I thought Tech would improve under Craig Snider (hitting coach @ Fl St and aggy) Looking at the coaching staff, he has one asst from Wash Univ in St Louis and 2 former Fl St grad asst coaches, one who seems to be the pitching coach. Likely no one on his staff has connections to the Texas/National travel ball circuit.

Heavy rain overnight but hopefully will clear for 3PM game. Lubbock looks good for Sat. @Js1 @FloridaHorn Any thoughts on why Kenny G elected to start Aycock in game 1 and then Kilfoyl ? Plans to pitch both all 3 games ?
  3. Weather and Radar Map for Lubbock, TX - The Weather Channel | Weather.com Looking at the radar t'storms/lightning in area so they probably could not warmup. Tornado watch until 10PM.

And a concern with lightning delays.

    Good point ! Texas claims they have sold 7K season tickets. I really think they have made a deal with the ticket brokers like Seat Geek which may have bought alot of the season tickets. Check the prices for the Friday OKSt game. Seat Geek is trying to unload. (just my guess) and ready for a new coach. https://seatgeek.com/texas-longhorns-baseball-tickets/ncaa-baseball/2024-05-03-6-30-pm/6275540
  6. Need some help from the softball gods. OKSt first visit to Love Field, capacity 4200 which will likely be filled. Hope Kenny G can keep them focused.
  7. https://www.collegesportsmadness.com/softball/bracketology (very large to c&p) Only for purpose of discussion until Friday to keep our anxious minds occupied. 😊 Very early Regional projection from College Sports Madness (only one I could find) to be taken with a grain of salt. #2 seed hosting Texas St, NCar, and Prairie View matched with #15 seed ULL. OU is #1 seed matched with #16 seed UW which could be a strong matchup. I think UW may finish higher. aggy #8 seed. Last Four In: Florida Atlantic, UCF, South Alabama, North Carolina First Four Out: Ole Miss, Kansas, Texas Tech, Georgia Tech Big 12: *Oklahoma, Texas, Oklahoma State, UCF, Baylor

    Good find BGS ! Very sad ! Wes Johnson, former LSU pitching coach, is in his first year as head coach and looking at the staff seems to be the pitching coach. Coaches have to be aware, especially the bullpen coach. Georgia has a 5.45 era, 31-12, 10-11 SEC. Below is the Georgia SEC Rant comments on the subject. https://www.secrant.com/rant/uga-sports/uga-baseball-season-long-thread-31-12-10-11/112388998/page-21/
  9. Senior Day honor by starting ? Before they would honor the Seniors pregame during one of the games at the last home series. Would be introduced with their families, a video of their highlights shown, presented a framed jersey and roses. The opposing team's Seniors also received roses. Nice ceremony, sorry it apparently has been discontinued. Edit. Just saw opening clip on LHN. They still do the same.
  10. https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/ea48f4efcd297b06fa2fcd4a98c417b20b465b386ed6e59870da3f0b6c2ef6b3 As previously mentioned by zlavydra, stay alert for possible game time change. Sunday looks good for DH.
  11. From email DH 1PM and 4PM Sat Due to the inclement weather being forecasted for Sunday, Texas Softball will now be playing Sunday's game on Saturday, April 27th at 4:00pm. Tickets for Sunday's game will be honored for the Saturday 4:00pmgame, the stadium will be cleared between games.
  12. https://weather.com/weather/weekend/l/354aafe37aa0a42c04081ebbb93de8ee7531422ba721abc3ff758f434c2587ab Showers/T'Storms forecast for the weekend. Possibly not enough for cancellation with the most questionable day being Sunday. Hope the weather does not affect the attendance so the Seniors can be given well deserved recognition on Senior Day. They were key participants in elevating this program.

  13. 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/
  14. 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)
  15. 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.
  16. https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/354aafe37aa0a42c04081ebbb93de8ee7531422ba721abc3ff758f434c2587ab Austin radar. Looks pretty good until about 7PM.
  17. 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.
  18. 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)
  19. 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.
  20. Not sure if current, but before they consulted with the pros at the National Weather Service.
  21. 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.
  22. 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/
  23. 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."

  24. 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
  25. Time off before Kansas series on Friday much needed. Pitching staff needs to rest and refine.
