Not sure if its Tulo or what, but this year’s team is so different hitting its absurd. Of the ~50 player batting seasons from Pierce’s 5 full years here, this team has like 5 of the top 10. And Im pretty sure all 9 of the starters from the super would be in the top 20. Just a completely different performance.

Well, that sucks.

[Valmy77 13270]

Jeff Conway! He was an outfielder on the 1993 CWS team I think.

Damn. I loved that team. RIP Conway and prayers to his family. Way too young to die.

Can he be our 3rd base coach for the CWS?

Can anybody with season tickets comment on their past experience claiming tickets for CWS?  Ever had request not get fulfilled? 

As a younger, non Surly 1%'er, my $99 GA season ticket (and low loyalty point status) probably puts me pretty far down the pecking order.

I have it on good authority we got picked off first base once when he was first base coach. Do not want.

[jimmyjazz 46099]

Tommy used to live down the street from me.  His was far and away the nicest lawn in the neighborhood.  Fucker.

I seem to recall that back in the day Jeff used to get hit by pitches a lot.    In 1993 he lead the team with 15 HBP. 

RIP.  

[petscii 1189]

I also wanna say there was a crash between Jeff and Tony Vasut where they collided and were knocked out cold but still made the catch.  Can someone pipe in if you remember it different?

He probably used all the groundskeeping stuff from the Disch.

He was the first base coach in the "How can we fucking get picked off of first base!?" game.

So at least once.

Latest draft report per Bohls,  fwiw.     Second link is Jim Callis' (reputable writer) first round draft projection.    Tech's Jace Jung at #10.

 

6. Prospects galore. Saw a list of the projected top 200 players for the Major League Baseball draft, a 20-round affair from July 17-19. And I’m still shocked scouts aren’t drooling more over Ivan Melendez than they are. Many still see the Texas slugger as a one-tool guy even though he has played very well at first base. MLB.com listed him as only the 115th best prospect in this draft. The report said he does have “plus-plus raw power” (duh) but “doesn’t have standout bat speed,” leading to concerns he could struggle against top-velocity pitchers. “Melendez still doesn’t offer much value beyond his bat, and a righty-hitting first baseman is the least attractive profile for pro teams.” Whatever. … Other draftables include Hansen (No. 125), a left-handed pitcher with killer slider and precision; Faltine (No. 149), a shortstop with concerns he’s overly aggressive at the plate and too pull-happy; Ardoin (No. 150), considered the best catcher in college baseball and who improved hitting numbers; and Hodo (No. 200), a speedy center fielder with some pop. All the Texas high school stars named are going to other schools save for Brandeis shortstop Jalin Flores (No. 91), who could easily sign a pro contract or would be draft-eligible as a college sophomore if he comes to campus.

35. Royals: Henry Bolte, OF, Palo Alto (Calif.) HS (No. 35)

[Hookem2147 21348]

Would be really nice to get screwed in the draft this year with our 2022 class considering the amount of holes we will have on the roster.

I think Bolte is the only kid that everyone can probably agree won’t make it to campus. Although, Jalin Flores keeps moving up with every new top prospects list I see. Cutter Coffey is also a bit of a wildcard.

I think I agree. Would love to see Flores on campus. Think he is a day 1 starter. Most important positions to replace next year will be SS and C. Getting Flores on campus would be huge and I also think Rylan Galvan will push for playing time behind the plate immediately. He is a stud.

I’ve been assuming O’Dowd is gonna take over at short next year

Definitely possible. I think he can play 2B and 3B too so he'll have some flexibility.

1B Kash

2B Daly

SS O’Dowd

3B Campbell/transfer/freshman

David Pierce 3

Dave Van Horn 3

Tim Tadlock 2

David Esquer 2

Chris Lemonis 2

Tim Corbin 2

*No other coach has multiple appearances.

Last years team had 2 players in the lineup hitting over .300. This years team has 6. 
 

Man the pitching last year though. You felt if starting pitchers had a good outing , the hitters would find enough production and we could beat anyone. We were so close vs Miss Aggie. It was a Fun, likeable team.

This year it feels like we need to score 9 to win with our erratic pitching, yet we are more often than not fully capable of doing just that against anyone. Also, fun likeable team.

2020 Could have been Lit, as the kids say.

[Rickylovesweed 14538]

I still trust 2 of our starting pitchers. 

Hansen and Gordon are good starters. Some are expecting last years pitching numbers when there's been an offensive explosion because of the wind and/or juiced baseballs. Nobody is producing spectacular pitching numbers and Texas still has the 2nd or 3rd best pitching staff at the College World Series.

Omaha veterans-  cheapest pair of tickets for Friday night on Stubhub are currently $340 total ($570 on Ticketmaster). But now or should I expect better opportunities lateR?
