  1. He is playing third base for Kansas State, FWIW. IIRC, he was committed to A&M years ago and Schloss basically dropped him when he took the job in 2022. So I doubt he was very interested in playing for him here.
  2. Gonna go out on a limb and say a 19-year-old was not being serious on Instagram. The first time it's ever happened. Rare.
  3. This seems mildly surprising, no? I guess OL spots are filling up and some tough decisions will have to be made.
  4. Hopefully Codie looks healthier in year 2 after the knee injury, because his movement skills left a lot to be desired in the limited minutes he did get. Just did not look comfortable.
  5. Still waiting for the video evidence Beard claimed he had the night of the incident that would prove his innocence. He wouldn't hand it over to police when they asked for it and his lawyer wouldn't release it later on. I wonder why that is.
  6. Looking through some stats today and was surprised to see that we only have 4 guys hitting above .280 in conference play (Mendoza, Gasparino, Galvan and....Borba). Flores is all the way down at .200. A few other things that stuck out: -We have the best team ERA in conference play -.272 team average in SEC is 8th out of 16 teams -We are walking more than last year and striking out a tad less. I guess that is a good sign for the overall approach even if it feels frustrating some games -We are going to surpass last year's stolen base number easily despite losing some good speed (Thomas, Kennedy, Brown). Overall base running has been a plus.
  7. Way too early to be thinking about the portal but this staff has said publicly about 65 times now that they don’t have enough left handed hitters and Belyeu going down is just going to shine more light on the problem. Winfield ineffective, Rodriguez hurt and Stewart just kind of meh. Chamberlain was the only lefty in the lineup and 7 of the 9 innings by Texas State were covered by righties. I’ll be watching every left handed hitter with a pulse that enters the portal in 2 months.
  8. We threw Ruger for 4 innings against UTSA. They straight up beat us. Absolutely both games were winnable. We had a no hitter with 2 outs in the 8th inning last night.
  9. Gasparino has made that same play against the wall 20 times already this year.
  10. I can’t get over that throw from Duplantier in LF on the double that was routine single right in front of him. Would have ended the inning. Any other outfielder on this team throws that guy out by 3 steps.
  11. We’ve lost 2 and cruised in every other one. And UTSA is legitimately a good club.
  12. Unfortunately I don’t think that’s a lazy play as much as Duplantier isn’t a talented player with a weak and inaccurate arm.
  13. Duplantier needed two cut off men to throw 100 feet on the double. That was pathetic.
  14. If it wasn’t a catcher at third base, I’d squeeze bunt
  15. Closer in the 6th inning? Officially Super Bowl Tuesday. Friday night starter will be warming soon.
  16. That dude has no interest in swinging the bat. Just up there looking for a walk.
  17. Doubt it. Rodriguez ain’t been much better at third in his chances. Getting very inconsistent defense at that spot.
  18. Winfield has 18 K's and 0 walks in 37 at bats. On April 1st 2021, Antico was hitting .207 but had already walked 20 times compared to 18 strikeouts and had stolen 13 bases.
  19. Someone in Belyeu’s family actually posted on one of the 9.95 sites about the ligament tear. Surgery scheduled for later this week. More complicated than a simple wrist fracture. Sounds like they are holding out hope he could be back for the postseason but his wrist has to be immobilized for a month so it’s going to be a long rehab process.
  20. It is more than a fracture. He has ligament damage that needs to be repaired. He is done for the season.
  21. Good news: They apparently do not think it is a hamate bone. Still being evaluated so not sure the exact injury yet. Galvan should be fine. No break. It's possible he will be back this weekend. Belyeu I have no clue on.
  22. I'm assuming we can pencil this guy into the 2026 class with his father being retained https://247sports.com/player/bo-ogden-46135190/
  23. Conference titles are cool but all I care about is getting to that 16/17 win mark and hosting. Tennessee is also likely going to run away with this thing so all the standings watching is going to be moot.
  24. Word going around yesterday was X-rays were negative. Supposed to be evaluated further today/tomorrow.
