  1. I never tried that and don't remember seeing someone do that in particular. I did drop a knee to block first base when runner's were diving back. It worked pretty well. I played 5 or 6 years with a left-handed pitcher who had an incredible move to first. We picked off a lot of base runners.
  2. I missed this the other day. Thanks for the post. I have been checking the lineup everyday for changes, but have been concentrating on the new players to see if numbers have been assigned to them and if any have been dropped. I must have scanned too quickly to miss Polk and Powell not there and paid no attention to last year's returning people. I don't think Bertsch saw any action last year so he should still have 4 years left. Werchan and Cummings didn't really seem to pan out so that is not too surprising if they were cut or just left. Walker Polk was an interesting possibility but did not have great stats before he transferred, just reasonable, and probably wouldn't see any playing time.
  3. Thanks for that info Hookem2147. Regarding the progress pitchers in rehab are making, what pitchers are actually part of that group? I don't necessarily mind that there may be future bunts, but I hope they still continue routinely practicing how to bunt. It is amazing how bad some guys are at bunting and if they are the ones that you need in the 9th inning as he suggested you might as well forget about it.
  4. That timeline seems like what has happened before, but I still feel sorry for them if they are only notified once the semester ends. That gives you about a month to make contacts at other schools, apply to the school, and prepare to move somewhere else. It also seems like that are a lot more people on these tentative rosters for the fall than there used to be. Perhaps I just wasn't paying that much attention before.
  5. He must have been talking about a different Kenny Baker.😁
  6. When will the roster be trimmed? I checked today and it is still over 40 with no changes. Looking forward to the season. We have full weekend tickets for the showdown in Arlington.
  7. I think the freshman Cole Chamberlain played some first base in the Orange-White game. Any updates on the fall practices or on some surprises by any of the old or new guys?
  8. That is about when I saw him pitch there. One year I lived in the same apartment complex with the San Antonio Dodgers. The management required them to all live in the same place. The only one I really talked to was the catcher at the time (don't remember his name) and I don't think he ever made it past AA. That was a fun team to watch back then.
  9. I thought Sark was going to update us on Fall Baseball.

    RIP Pete Rose

    Saw him play with the Reds when I was young. He earned his nickname. RIP
  11. Saw this at another forum- Victor Coronado of Lutheran South Academy. I did not recall that he was a commit. Perhaps the new UT staff had something to do with his new commitment. His PG score is 9.5 and he appears to have converted to 3B and also pitches. Big kid with good power. I checked and could not find that he had committed to Texas State.
  12. I checked Faltine's stats again. His batting average is still bad and he strikes out almost half the time. He has been pretty consistent in that since he turned pro. As I recall, he set the UT single season record for strikeouts and hasn't been able to improve on that. His move is from A to A+, where he was about 2 years ago for awhile, so there must be a need for a body in Dayton. He is such a good infielder if he can improve his hitting his chance of moving up to AA or AAA will drastically improve.
  13. Just saw that Detroit is calling up Ty Madden. His first call up to the bigs I think. 🤘
