Turnout seems pretty high this year. Def up from the last couple seasons

Best weather I can remember for the alumni game in a long, long time.

The Disch is either the hottest or coldest place in Austin, so 71 and sunny is about as good as it gets.

The kid and I were both ditching clothes during the throw around.

Looks like Cody Howard is the same as last year

Hey, after the way he ended last year, Howard getting through 3 innings in any setting is a win.

Expand  

Agreed. He’s pitching pretty decently. Looks like his tendency to give up HRs is still there though.

Winfield looks pretty athletic despite getting gunned down there. Gotta think he’s more likely to lead of than Schuessler right?

Schuessler had a little higher OBP and struck out quite a bit less compared to Winfield. Schloss did some interesting things with that A&M lineup. Had Grahovac leading off much of the year and he wasn’t a speed demon.

This is up for attendance from the last couple years?  Was no one there at all the last couple years? Looks like you can just walk up and sit in the fourth row behind home plate.

Riojas was a starter for UTSA last year right? Volantis and Howard both left a good amount to be desired imo. 

Expand  

Yes, as stated in other posts, he is a "Swiss Army Knife."

He could pitch in any place needed, but I think he will be in the bullpen because Schloss likes what he brings there.

The good news is that neither are expected to be top-tier starters. One of them would probably be the fifth guy, right now, and that’s without Grubbs or Whitehead factoring into that list.

The guy to watch as a possible starter is Aiden Moffet.

He has a 90's fastball and good breaking stuff. His problem at LSU was command.

He pitched today and had command of his pitches and was unhittable in his inning of work.

He is sort of like LBJ was, but if Weiner has helped him gain control of his stuff, he could fill one of the starting roles.

Grubbs and Whitehead will also be in the equation at some point in the season as starters as stated.

Sunny and 65-70 is a hell of a lot better than 40 with a north wind gusting to 20 like last year. Was so damn cold I left after 3. Year before was like in the 50’s and fog.

Yes it was a great crowd yesterday.

No doubt they took advantage of the weather & scheduled having BEVO out along with signings from the team and the pregame throws on the field for kids/families. Walking in and just seeing the outer sections (L2/R2 and above) being open, you knew it was going to be good. The outer sections have been closed the last few years and that made going even worse as you had to sit in the shade.

I'm curious about what anybody here thinks of Jonah Williams for this season. He's obviously a true freshman and the team is stacked, so I assume he's not expected to play much? Does anyone know whether he's being worked on as a pitcher? Or OF?
