  1. Probably for the best. He was hitting .083, 24 ABs, 12Ks, 1 HR. Needs to get in the cage with Tulo. https://www.capecodleague.com/stats/chatham-anglers/batting-average?playerPool=ALL
  2. To your point. Note the kids having fun. Relaxes them pregame. Check their jerseys "Dingers and bat flips, never bunt"
  3. Excerpts: Barnes attended baseball games at Texas when his time permitted. Barnes not only got to see the Volunteers hoist a national championship trophy, but with one of his old friends from their days at Texas together on the coaching staff: Frank Anderson. Anderson was part of a Men’s College World Series winning team with the Longhorns in 2002, when Barnes was the head basketball coach there. Seeing Anderson get to win another ring is just part of what made the night a special one for Barnes and all the Rocky Top faithful. “It was — honestly being there for the national championship game was extremely special and honestly I’d been there one other time and it was at Texas,” Barnes said. “I told Frank Anderson, ‘We’re 2-for-2.’ Because Frank was the pitching coach at Texas when I was there and he won it that year. And really one of my highlights, with everything that went on, when we were getting ready to leave, I saw Frank sitting in the dugout by himself and it really touched me. He was there, everybody was gone, just sitting on the back of the bench looking back out onto the field and I got so much respect for him.” https://www.on3.com/college/tennessee-volunteers/news/rick-barnes-calls-college-world-series-win-extremely-special/

    2024 NCAA Baseball

    https://www.stingerwoodbats.com/pages/stinger-high-school-national-championship Not NCAA, but if you need a "baseball fix" Stinger Sports sponsors a National High School All Star Tournament @Charles Schwab, Omaha. Started today thru Sunday, ESPN+. Can't find team rosters but all teams have college commits. Saw a few innings, today, good baseball. Kids are good. Sad thing today Charles Schwab was completely empty but gives a good view of the stadium.
  5. Very true. I have sat near him at some away games and he is cool.
  6. https://thedailytexan.com/2019/07/02/occupy-left-field-texas-baseballs-biggest-tailgate/ Marc Pena, Texas St grad and politician extraordinaire especially to player's parents. I don't frequent LF but have never seen him wear burnt orange or a Texas cap. NTIMM That said, it is my understanding he does a good job raising funds for TOF.
  7. Don't know the accuracy of the below, but Schlossnagle and his Wonder Boy Weiner going with the unexpected since losing Sdao. Badmaev, RHP 1st year transfer from Tarleton, has not started this year, 2.70 era, 23.1 IP, 27/5 K-BB ratio. 27K's in 23 IP impressive. Schlossnagle may be going with the 3 inning approach. Lamkin only threw 70 pitches on Wednesday but suppose they felt he needed more rest. Tenn starting their #2 RHP Drew Beam. Their ace also pitched Wed. https://www.lonestarlive.com/aggies/2024/06/live-updates-texas-am-vs-tennessee-in-cws-final-game-2-score-lineups-and-more.html
  8. B12 umpire behind the plate. Pretty sure he was the one who tossed Pierce or was the crew chief.
  9. Stamos is Tenn #3 guy, only started 10 games. Sechrist (ace) pitched Wed vs Fl St. Suppose they wanted a LHP to start instead of their #2 RHP Beam. FML ! Not a good move, Tony.
  10. He does in his farewell column. 🙄 Sounds like he will continue writing for an unnamed independent publication, perhaps a $9.95er ? https://www.techsprint2021.it/sp-news/2024/06/22/american-statesman-columnist-kirk-bohls-says-goodbye-after-51-years/
  11. Piqued my attention because Nadia Taylor (one of my all time favs) is asst coach there. Did not see anything on AD's behavior, but the softball team has alleged internal issues. Namely a player allegedly carrying a gun and threatening other players. And Coach Vesely's failure to respond and treatment of players in other matters. Just a guess the AD firing may have been because he was aware and did not take action. Firing AD first step in litigation control. A lot to digest, perhaps to take with a grain of salt. Add to your Summer reading list if interested. And of course we have to now worry about the SEC vs B12. https://www.coogfans.com/t/ot-dangerous-toxic-culture-uh-softball/56378
  12. Can't believe Florida trotted this kid out again ! FML ! Surprise me Liam !
  13. https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/c8979662f11457914c5025399ef000a84c3677f79e4ecbccd6ab852794ad2809 Weather does not look good for the evening game, even in the later hours. Game 1: (8) Florida State vs. (4) North Carolina | 1 p.m. | ESPN+ | ESPN (Fubo) Game 2: Florida vs. (2) Kentucky | 6 p.m. | ESPN+ | ESPN (Fubo)
  14. Can anyone identify that logo on their caps ?
  15. Checked to see why aggy went with the 3 inning pitchers' approach. At 3:35 Schlossnagle indicates this will be the approach going forward due to not having Sdao. Note that Kentucky and aggy did not play each other this year.
  16. Just checked. Florida had the worst ERA in the SEC at 6.16. Only 2 solid starters this kid Peterson (5.97) and Caglianone (4.71). Probably should have started Cag instead of this young guy. Let's go to bed fellas. Doesn't look good. https://floridagators.com/sports/baseball/stats
  17. https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/c8979662f11457914c5025399ef000a84c3677f79e4ecbccd6ab852794ad2809 Radar shows heavy t'storms until approx 9PM. And weather site states a tornado watch.
  18. Can you confirm that from other than a paysite ? I know there was a reported incident with a heckling fan at a road game vs TCU ? I find that hard to believe from a retired 4 star General especially to players and families.
  19. Good point ! @Js1 when time permits, can you crunch the numbers for us ?
  20. I thought the same but then checked. Next guy (Cook) is hitting .345 and was 3-4 today. 3rd guy (Parks) is hitting .342 and was 1-2 today. Pick your poison. Great game to start the Greatest Show on Dirt.

  22. https://baseball.pointstreak.com/player_search.html?leagueid=166&seasonid=33853&letter=B List for Cape Cod. Cursory look shows Gasparino at Chatham and Belyeu at Cotuit. Cape season starts 15 June. Some games may be on YouTube. Sam Ardoin (in portal) and Borba are listed at San Luis Obispo (CCL). Not sure Borba has reported. Summer league rosters (especially early) are often inaccurate for a myriad of reasons.
  23. Best to give him a chance to respond. Seems like city government would be concerned water was not drained into a storm or sewer drain due to health concerns, mosquitoes, etc. May want to readdress the issue with them at the supervisory level.
  24. Coach shows great class with opening statement. Quotes DKR when asked why he left Moore in "Dance With The One Who Brung Ya". Can't agree in this case.
