Before seeing his response (Aus-97) I was thinking what could he have had and I came up with the same scenario, he had 96XX and maybe (?) changed his mind on his call once seeing your hand. I don't ever play with earpods (don't even own any), but I do look at my phone sometimes while playing. Once heads up though (if not before), I make sure it is facedown on the rail or in my pocket just to be sure I don't miss anything similar to your scenario.

Ha! That's funny. He 's doing well, but not in that stratosphere..... .320 for 8 games played 8/25 (5 singles, 2 doubles, 1 HR) He could of filled in for Jack, but he knew Jalin was going to be the starter at SS.

Yep...the cruel mistress showed up today. Gotta LOVE baseball to continue to watch and learn from the sport 🤘

4 weeks from now? Get used to what we have now...😬

I know 4 months in the academy is not enough time for some, but attention to detail dude....quoting me, but your reply is in response to someone else. I didn't call you idiotic, but I'll allow it.

O' Jack miscue and still get two....😬

DOWNTOWN!!

Fat girlfriends making an appearance in the stands...

Dammit...need a put away pitch.

Nice throw, blocking of the plate, and tag!

Took the hit away now and made it E6

MAX!!!!

So Keith and Roger saying tech is starting the pitch clock against Howard early... starting it before he is on the mound.

Sounds like you're mad cuz you quit.

What a turd. He tries to pony up to us sometimes, but he ALSO doesn't miss a chance to let his homer aggy come out and take jabs more often than not at our program. I called him out (twitter/X ) once last year or yr before and he IMMEDIATELY responded back being defensive on his post. I had obviously touched a nerve replying and calling him out. Now I just take what he says about us with a grain of salt cuz he wants to be a 2%er, but he's really not. I will give him credit for not blocking me though, unlike the pillow biter Tim Brando 😂

Not taking up for aggy Kendall, but the original tweet is just as bad .....f'ng OB writer most likely hanging with douchebag Chad.

Guy I worked with came on the job (probie) at age 52 (wanted to do the job his Dad did, a career FF with FDNY retiring from Rescue 2). He was always fit by doing running and swimming later in life and was a retired pilot from the USAF (flew gunships in VN). We worked together on one of our truck companies for a couple of years and besides doing stairclimb challenges yearly he was needing something else, so he started doing the FFCC's and was a world record holder in 97, 98, 99, 2000, and 2002 (injured and didn't compete on '01) for the over 50 age group with times of 2:03 or better. His world record time of 1:52 age 60 in 2002 stood for 14 years for the 60 + age group.

So TJ surgery has definitely become much more prominent now for ball players and they are having it younger and younger (year round/select ball consequences???) but we seem to have had more than our share of players (seems like at least one pr year) over the past 3, 4, or more years ? Are we snake bit? Or is this the norm? For those that follow other schools more than me, are others having the same problem or is there maybe something going on here that is exacerbating the injuries and the need for surgery?

First, I have to parrot what CTJ had to say about Ariz St. In the 70's and 80's, they had a damn good program and knocked us out at least once or more while in Omaha. Also like he said, if they, or Arizona would spend some money, it would be easy for them to be good again. OK, so I haven't read very many books about college baseball in particular due to that I don't think there are many books that cover the subject in general. You can find books with a broad name, ie Road to Omaha, but it really just covers the 2008 Fresno St team. If you want some local history which covers the man, but also his philosophy about life and how it and baseball intertwine , and if you haven't already, read Augie's book, "Life is Yours to Win". @Beau Vine probably knows this with all his trivia question knowledge....Who replaced Shoeless Joe for the White Sox after the 1919 Black Sox scandal? He's the latter half name of our field. My dad was on his taxi (practice) squad in 1957 while at UT, so I thought I would get it for him one year for him to see the other side of the man who would gruffly say under his breath " about time you learned to pull the damn ball" after Dad had taken one of the starter's deep over the right field wall in an intersquad game at the old UT ballpark, Clark Field (hence BillyGoatHill) The book is "Bibb Falk The Man Who Replaced Shoeless Joe" by William A Cook It's an easy read book (188 pages) that covers his playing time here at UT, playing in the pros and then back here coaching plus a bit on his WW2 service (though too old to be drafted) he enlisted at 42 leaving the coaching duties here at the school to Blair Cherry. Not college related but still great baseball books that were recommended to me after Dad and my Mom lived in Okinawa for 4 years in the late 80's are "Slugging it Out in Japan" by Warren Cromartie (left in his prime from the major leagues here to accept a big contract from the Tokyo Giants and play for Sadaharu Oh) and the other is "You Gotta Have WA", about Japanese baseball in general and their approach to America's pastime. edit : Forgot to add... while looking to answer your question, I found another book on Amazon that will cover one aspect of college ball but I haven't read it yet. Its about the JUCO ranks and called "The JUCO Life " and it most likely covers the San Jac (conference foe) connection as the description mentions Roger, Andy Pettite, and of course Wayne Graham (all San Jac). Bit funny to me that Wayne was a on the UT team in '57 when my dad was there and then he was in his first yr at San Jac as the head Coach my freshman year playing against them(Roger was a freshman there at San Jac Wayne's first year). Our conference was San Jac, Blinn, Beeville, Wharton , us in SA and one other CC, but I can't remember which one. Everybody's favorite college coach right now (David Pierce) started his college playing at Wharton the following year.

No arguing with his resume and done in a very short time. His recruiting of that staff and their ERA, plus still now once becoming Frogs main guy. Picked 1st in the conference this year for a reason.

If it were to happen....prior to being named the head coach there, he was the recruiting coordinator and pitching coach at TCU during the last 4 years (4 straight CWS and one of the best staffs in college baseball) of Del Conte's tenure at TCU... Kirk Saarloos

He was talking with a friend of mine during warmups prior to the game. Disc injury to his thumb. Can hit but no catching for 4 weeks.

Been pretty much frat boys the last two Tuesdays. And last week they were getting their spots at 5 o'clock when it first opened. No doubt more of the same tonight.
