  1. Reading her twitter, seems to have alot of energy. Hope she can improve the defense. Longhorns volunteer assistant Courtney Gettins recently accepted a full-time role at Mercer; sources confirmed that the volunteer position is the role that Parnell will fill on the Texas staff. A former assistant coach at Division III Hardin-Simmons, Parnell most recently spent time in the private coaching and travel ball spaces, including coaching with the Texas Blaze organization. In addition to her two seasons as a graduate assistant at Hardin-Simmons, Parnell also spent one year as an assistant coach at Kilgore College. https://justinsworldsb.com/nicole-parnell-joining-texas-coaching-staff/
  2. Play Nebraska Wed, 2PM. Need you back @ztejas you're good luck.
  3. Abilene loses to Michigan 6-5 in a 2 hour plus *rain delayed game which affected both pitching staffs. Abilene had 5-0 lead but a grand slam got Michigan back in the game. Abilene plays Jersey, Tuesday at 2PM. Hawaii looks like favorite on this side of bracket, vs Michigan on Wed. (* heavy rain occurred in first inning. game should not have started.) https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2021/llbws/bracket/
  4. Respectfully, recommend you DM @TwiceHorn a copy of the contract you signed (refund portion) or post here if you find appropriate.
  5. For the Tech fans. Excerpts: ROUND ROCK — The Round Rock Express were handed their first premium prospect of the season Friday when the Texas Rangers promoted third baseman Josh Jung, a former All-American at Texas Tech. Jung, the eighth overall pick of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft, is the Rangers' No. 1 hitting prospect and No. 2 overall, behind pitcher Jack Leiter, the club's top selection in June. Jung, 23, got a late start to the season after breaking his left foot in spring training. Once he recovered and was assigned to Double-A Frisco, he never stopped hitting. Jung batted .308 with eight doubles, 10 home runs and 40 RBIs in 43 games. In his last 23 games, he hit .341 with seven doubles, six homers and 25 RBIs. He climbed to 52nd on MLB Pipeline's updated overall prospect list this summer. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/pro/2021/08/20/round-rock-express-texas-rangers-top-prospect-josh-jung-promoted/8216313002/
  6. She had a great game including two ESPN interviews. Super young lady. Needs to hire an attorney for NIL. 🙂 Abilene wins 6-0 vs Washington. Play Michigan Sunday. Louisiana lost to SDak 2-0. Combined no hitter for SDak. First pitcher threw 5.2 before reaching pitch count. His 3rd no hitter in postseason. La plays Pa Sunday. https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2021/llbws/bracket/
  7. Thought it was early return from injury.
  8. http://sportsnights.cc/events/los-angeles-dodgers-1010-new-york-mets-home/ Cory Knebel starting for Dodgers tonight.
  9. Coached by Brian Jean Mary at Tenn. Will there by any fights ? Excerpts: Mitchell, who led Texas in tackles last season before transferring to Tennessee, praised his new conference and congratulated the Longhorns on their future move to the SEC on Thursday. “I’m proud of them. They should (want to join the SEC),” Mitchell said. “They want to come over here just like I do. “I pretty much look at the SEC as the Big 12 and Big Ten combined.” With the Sept. 2 opener against Bowling Green approaching, Mitchell has made a good first impression. That could indicate his potential impact or the low expectations of the otherwise inexperienced linebackers unit, or both. “You can just tell from his demeanor as he walks around the building what kind of guy he is,” junior linebacker Roman Harrison said. “He’s a dog. I love the way he plays. He plays fast, aggressive, smart. He’s going to be really fun to see on Saturdays. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/2021/08/19/juwan-mitchell-tennessee-football-linebacker-transfer-texas-sec-big-12/8118158002/

    2021 NCAA Baseball

    The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel on Thursday approved allowing the use of one-way electronic communication devices for the purpose of calling pitches and plays. The rule goes into effect for the 2021-22 academic year. Examples of what could be implemented next season include teams being allowed to use an electronic display board from the dugout that shows a numerical code to call pitches and/or defensive plays. Teams also can use a one-way in-ear communication device that would be limited for use from the dugout to the catcher. Several conferences, including the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Pac-12, Southeastern and Sun Belt in 2021, have experimented with in-ear communication and other one-way electronic communication devices to call pitches from the dugout the past four seasons. https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/general-use-of-one-way-electronic-devices-approved-in-baseball
  15. Not sure this is the right forum, but he would appreciate being honored. Shocked to read that Chris Lippincott , 47, passed away from pneumonia (not Covid related). Some may have known him or have seen him at the Disch. Chris was a very avid Texas Baseball fan, sitting in Section 2, keeping score, and watching his beloved 'Horns, rarely missing a game. The most congenial, the most respected, one of the most intelligent persons you will meet. I would encourage you to read the complete story of his life below. Thoughts and prayers for his wife and children. Excerpts: Outside of his family, Lippincott's real love was UT baseball. During his time as an undergraduate, Lippincott would haul his books to games believing that spectating would amount to some form of studying, according to friends Lippincott was a fixture at Longhorn baseball games where he could often be seen on the first base line. His wife noted that even from a hospital bed, he followed UT's recent run to the College World Series. "He said, 'Hey how bad can it be when I can watch Longhorn baseball on the TV here at the hospital?'" Elizabeth Lippincott said. Later his spirits were lifted by being placed in a hospital room at St. David's Hospital that afforded him a view of the UT Tower and Royal-Memorial Stadium. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/08/12/austin-texas-transportation-department-political-insider-media-expert-chris-lippincott-dies/5555994001/
  16. Nolensville, Tn goes all in for the Vanderbilt look. 🙂 Actually, good to see LL teams copying college teams. Vandy recruiting pipeline.
  17. https://www.vaayu-group.com/ Their parent group is based in Washington state. Would it be worthwhile to make contact ? And also explain the dilemma from your post #16.
  18. Thanks for the correction ! Because of no International Teams this year ?
  19. Update: Colo vs Abilene, Mon, 8PM, ESPN2 Winner vs La, Tues, 6PM, ESPN for a trip to Williamsport La defeated Colo today 11-0 without extending their pitching staff. Would be nice to see Abilene pull the upset, but will be a challenge (sayin' there is a chance/gif) #stayawayCovid
  20. Thanks for the informative post. - Would it be fair to say that parents prefer their child to focus on one and not play both Select and LL ? Possibly leading to less talent in LL. - Do you know what area composes Northside LL ? iirc, the Northside softball team was from the Helotes area.
  21. Hope the city of Needville honors them with a parade, picnic, celebration in recognition of being the Texas East Champions.
  22. Needville defeats Arkansas, 13-0. Looked good, can see how they beat Pearland. Lafayette defeats Abilene, 6-1. Looks like the team to beat. Well coached, confident. Game Sat against Needville should be a good one. Abilene better than they played. Lafayette batter HBP (head) in 2nd inn, taken to hospital, seemed ok, walking, but it affected Abilene more than Lafayette. Abilene pitcher was crying, should have been replaced, gave up runs on walks that inning then replaced. Abilene players seemed to be affected for rest of game.
  23. Just about to post the same. Road to Williamsport (19-29 Aug) begins today in Waco. All games on LHN. Texas is represented by Abilene (West) and Needville (East). Would like to hear from the regulars here about the effect of Select on regular LL. Seems to have increased. Unusual to see some of the regulars missing like Post Oak, Pearland and McAllister Park. https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2021/llbws/tournaments/southwest-region/
  24. Feel bad for Kumar. Reports say elbow issue, maybe UCL ? He threw 122 inn this year (Leiter 110, Madden 113). Have to wonder if it was issue during the season and what Vandy did to protect him. Fink is a writer for Fangraphs.
