  1. Have to defer to @Huckleberry who also deserves credit for starting this thread. I don't understand either.

  3. 1-0 CT. Difficult to find better pitching by both teams. Hope Lamar does not let 1 loss become 2. 2 days to recover. Conn vs Hawaii, Friday, 6PM Lamar vs MA/SCar, Sat, 2PM . (if I am reading the bracket right)
  4. https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2025/llbws/tournaments/world-series/ Opening day. Complete info above. All games on ESPN. Puerto Rico vs Latin America, 12PM Nevada vs Illinois, 2PM Panama vs Australia, 4PM Richmond, Tx (Lamar) vs Conn, 6PM
  5. Thanks for mentioning. Time stamped for 6th inn. 1 out from Williamsport, 4-1 lead, close pitch for walk, intentional walk with bases loaded for run, 2-2 count, 2 outs, double off the wall scores 3. As often said, cruel game.
  6. New ESPN streaming service launches 21 Aug. Available on the app, don't see how to subscribe or if it will be an option to add to a streaming platform like Roku. Read in another article DirectTV will offer free in their basic package. Also, good to see SECN+ is included. Excerpts. Recommend reading the article. https://www.howtogeek.com/espn-new-live-sports-streaming-service-release-date-price/
  7. The well travelled Jimmy Kolaitis (Mike's hitting coach at Oregon) left Ariz St and is now the AD/Head Coach at a small community college in his home state of Alabama. When Mike left for Texas, he got the head coach at UAB job. I think he is under the age of 50 so no idea if he wants to retire in Alabama or get back in the grind of D1 softball. And not sure of the relationship with Mike and there may be some baggage there due to his many moves that @FloridaHorn may know. A positive seems to be his West Coast connections. Fall workouts will likely begin in Sep. First Fall game was the first week of October last year, so good to have someone in place then.
  8. Big, big loss though we knew it was inevitable. Singleton was noted for his recruiting prowess as well as hitting coach ability. Tireless worker at both, very difficult to replace. Will be a bonus if the replacement is familiar with the softball recruiting landscape to include NIL and transfers in the new era of college athletics.
  9. Be nice if he also has the arm to backup SS. 3 errors in 107 chances, .972.
  10. Austin Volts lost to the Chicago Bandits 8-7 at Dell Diamond, but 5K in attendance has to be a success .
  11. Freeman will be 23 in November, very likely a key factor in his decision. Larson (above) seems to be an upgrade.
  12. Austin Volts (Mia) vs Chicago Bandits (Bella, Iakopo) tonight, ESPN2, 6PM. Bandits are in 1st (9-3), Volts in 3rd (4-8) Cat is GM of the Volts. https://theausl.com/volts/roster?season=2025-ausl https://theausl.com/bandits/roster?season=2025-ausl https://theausl.com/standings
  13. True 'dat. He was selected to play in the MLB Draft League in WVa and is having a good Summer. Interesting to see his draft position. (2.37 ERA, 16Ks/2BB/19 IP) https://www.mlbdraftleague.com/player/sam-cozart-828217
  14. For unknown reason, Anderson was not on roster for 2025. Listed as a utility player. Hometown Dripping Springs
  15. MLB Draft Combine starts today in Phoenix. Scheduled for MLB Network from 11 AM - 5 PM.
  16. I hesitate to post this because the thread is returning to Texas Softball but this is an article in today's AAS about the Tech drama. I thought it important to note Atwood stated she was not contacted. Also, note that players contact their travel ball coaches for advice. I hope Citaly does this during the off season to return to her winning form. Excerpts:
  17. Mature statement from a high school player. "On the mound, I attack early," Holton said. "First pitch strikes mean a lot. As a hitter, you go down 0-1 and you're thinking that you're down and you have to play the pitcher's game. If you get a first pitch strike as a pitcher, then I am playing my game. It can go either way the entire at bat, the percentages of a guy getting solid contact after getting down early in at bat are really low compared to going 1-0 on him. That's really what I like to focus on. I am not really a guy that believes you always have to go for the strikeout. Sometimes, you have to be that way. I like to go at them early and attack. I want to get him out of there using less pitches." https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/baseball/2026-rhp-hayes-holton-commits-to-texas/ar-AA1GI8BT
  18. I am also a member of the "know little" club, but just from reading and observation over the years, the Cape is where the best players go. It is considered the pinnacle of Summer Leagues. Quality of competition is above the other leagues as indicated by the number of MLB players that played there. And overall, MLB scouts are more prevalent than other Summer leagues. Read that coaches have relations with the teams and decide where their players will attend based on the slots they are permitted and what is best for the player's development. Based on players we have sent to the Cape, Winfield I believe is the first that was not a full time starter. Thus my comment. They must think the quality competition will be good for his development and/or would like to keep him from the portal. Opinion only. Articles on the subject are on the 'net if interested.
  19. There is something they apparently like with Winfield sending him to the Cape vs Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara has been good for pitcher development (Elder, Howard) hope it holds true for Rerick and Navarre. Did not know about MLB Draft League (Moffett). From wiki: The MLB Draft League is a baseball league that began play in 2021.[3] Created by Major League Baseball (MLB) and Prep Baseball Report (PBR), the league operates a split-season format of 80 games with a hybrid amateur–professional structure: for the first half of the season, the league operates as an amateur collegiate summer baseball league to serve as a showcase for top draft-eligible prospects leading up to each July's MLB draft;[3] after a break for the draft, play resumes for the season's remaining games with paid professional players who have exhausted their amateur eligibility.[4]
  20. Cross your fingers (or whatever for Tinney). Hometown Castle Pines, Co (22 miles south of Denver) 6'3, 220 lbs This isn’t what any Notre Dame baseball fan wanted to see, but after narrowly missing out on the NCAA Tournament, it seems like Tinney wanted to play somewhere where he could make the postseason. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/college/fighting-irish/baseball/2025/06/02/carson-tinney-transfer-portal-notre-dame-baseball-ncaa/83998811007/
  21. Mike White quote from the Chronicle today. This may be his goal but as we know he always has a revolving lineup. He is really excited about the incoming class.
  22. Thanks to @Gut Wagon for mentioning this interview. Great, great insight on the players, Coach Singleton, and the strategy for the championship finals including game 2. Definitely worth 15 min of your time. 38:12 if time stamp fails. Mike White is such an outstanding rep of The University of Texas. Note what he says about trying to not portal recruit over talented signees and roster players.
  23. Despite being a Texas Tech Red Raider through and through, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes publicly praised Texas Longhorns third baseman Mia Scott for her performance in the national title game on June 6. “3rd baseman for Texas is cold,” he wrote on X during the Game 3 matchup. https://www.si.com/college/texas/softball/patrick-mahomes-praises-texas-longhorns-softball-star-mia-scott#:~:text=“3rd baseman for Texas is,close out her senior season.
