  1. Duplantier (coming back from elbow injury) threw 78 pitches on Tuesday and was brought in on 3 days rest. Big difference between bullpen and live game action especially when you are protecting the elbow. You saw the result. Stevens threw 100 pitches last night the most for a starter this year.
  2. SEC Preseason Coaches Poll. Note our regular season opponents (Ala and SCar). 2022 SEC Baseball Preseason Coaches Poll Eastern Division 1. Vanderbilt (9) - 87 2. Florida (3) - 77 3.

  3. Like @Js1, I thought we would lose both games decisively. Great effort. There is hope. 6 walks by Dolcini may have been the difference. Edit: Just noticed Dolcini threw 150 pitches in 5.2. Not good.
  4. AAS reported within days after Augie's dismissal Skip would not be considered. Only in fans' minds was he a candidate. Administration wanted a new slate.
  5. Gonzaga wins 2-1 in 10. Playoff baseball.
  6. https://okstate.com/watch/?Live=3236&type=Live OkSt/Gonzaga, 1-1 after 7. Just saw link.
  7. wrong thread
  8. K'd 10 in 5 innings. Read his bio, very highly rated, #17 Perfect Game top 100. 20th round Padres '21 draft. Vittello wisely shut him down after 81 pitches.
  9. Great game, Ladies ! Sophia Simpson's composure is off the chart.
  10. Weekend schedule. Miami (OH) is 4-6 with wins over Louisville, SCar. Alabama is 16-0, ranked #2. RPI is 10. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/d1/ncaa-womens-softball-rpi
  11. https://www.mlb.com/astros Scroll down mid page.
  12. https://therealstreamhub.site/index.php Bookmark the above. Scroll down, click NCAA, and the games will be listed tomorrow under Baseball. Other streams will likely be posted in the game thread. Do you have a TV provider or just stream ? If you have ATT, they have a dedicated channel 1758 on Uverse, not sure about ATT Direct TV.
  13. As previously discussed, Shea has Graves Disease which may affect her weight and physical conditioning. Remember when she was oft criticized for wearing sunglasses due to the disease. Personal opinion, but I think Graves Disease and this being her 4th year she has just lost the competitive spirit. Hopefully, she can contribute some meaningful innings. If you missed the below from the Baseball Forum, hope softball gets to use this equipment. Not necessarily all for strength, but overall flexibility and conditioning.
  14. Your RPI will be off the charts ! Vandy, ASU, Gonzaga, even Wright St normally has a respectable program. You may be aware, Gonzaga just swept Fullerton this past weekend. I really like Josh Holiday.
  15. Possible to get references from other parents, high school or college coaches ?
  16. True ! Also, Pierce needs to play Gash and O'Dowd a couple of innings in these blowouts for infield experience to backup Melendez and Daly in case of injury. Gash was rated by Perfect Game as top 1B in Texas. O'Dowd got 3 innings against Corpus. Not to mention Peyton Powell. No idea about the backup for Faltine. Perhaps Staley.
  17. Check the game threads. Streams often posted. MLB.com is schedule to telecast the entire Houston tournament.
  18. Rant warning. Sry for the vent. Jordyn Whitaker being replaced in the middle of an inning is a reflection on the coaching staff as much or more than the player. Embarrassing for all. Google tells me Jordyn was a corner infielder in high school and fielding average was .889. She can be an asset as a power hitter DP but not as a fielder. iirc, she had key hits for us last year, hit .358 with an OPS 1.046. She is struggling this year hitting .200 because her role needs to be defined and she needs to embrace it. Her body language shows she is not happy which affects her performance. Pull your head out, Mike ! https://www.jacksonvilleprogress.com/sports/whitaker-to-take-big-bat-to-austin-set-to-join-longhorn-softball/article_0d15a368-4866-11ea-8ef9-efeee3eed1a0.html https://www.maxprepsP.com/athlete/jordyn-whitaker/_0-R3fSREeaT-Oz0u-e-FA/softball/stats.htm
  19. https://www.mlb.com/network/tv-schedule MLB.com is scheduled to telecast all the Friday games from the Houston Shriner's Classic. Texas schedule shows they will do the entire tournament but they haven't posted their Sat/Sun sched. MLB.com telecasting likely means there will be "outlaw" available streams.
  20. UTSA wins 6-5 in 10. Stanford committed 4 errors, 2 in 10th. Stanford 6-2, UTSA 7-1 (Tarleton St, Seattle). https://goutsa.com/sidearmstats/baseball/media;category=batting
  21. aggy had a 5-3 lead going into the 9th and their pen failed. Schlossnagle had told the aggy faithful that Penn would be a test because they have an older, experienced team. This was their opening series of the year, they were eager since playing less than 15 games in '20 and '21. Despite lack of overall success, Penn has an established program. Kids on the East Coast can play. Penn has 4 Texans (2 from Austin area, 1 Dallas, 1 Houston) who play regularly. https://pennathletics.com/sports/baseball/roster Round Rock Classic scores: Stanford is 6-1 against a formidable schedule. Pierce disciples need to persuade him to put them back on schedule. (small print from RR site, only avail)
  22. Do you monitor your blood pressure and heart rate ? If not, would begin. Age is not a factor. CBD will relax you but it would be good to visit a doctor. Good exercise program should also help.
  23. This is an informative article as Vic and the players bemoan attendance for good reason. Article should have been written much sooner. CDC and company should be ashamed for lack of support. Does he even attend games like the Baylor game, etc ? (Excerpts, article worth the read) Over 13 games this season at the Erwin Center, Texas is averaging a crowd of 2,649. That's No. 37 nationally. The Erwin Center's capacity is 16,540. Four Big 12 schools are averaging bigger crowds. And Texas trails 19 unranked teams. Texas Tech (4,635), Minnesota (3,166) and Wisconsin (2,867) all have losing records, and Arizona State (2,725) is 12-12. "You've got a top-10 basketball team in your community, and you're not even in the top, whatever, in attendance. That's sad," Schaefer said. "It's very disappointing. It's frustrating for me as a coach. You know, these kids deserve better. In recent years, fans have shown plenty of apathy toward women's sports at UT. Last November, volleyball coach Jerritt Elliott pointed out that his perennial powerhouse program had historically been unable to sell out 4,000-seat Gregory Gym for first- and second-round matches of the NCAA Tournament, and said, "We need to be able to do that." As a department, Texas has seemingly skimped on the promotions for the UT women. There's been no "Party at the Tower" promised to the students. No mimosas have been given out at the women's games. "A lot of times, our away games have way more fans than we do at home, which it's more fun when there's more fans," Holle said. "So a lot of times, the away games are more fun than the home games, which I don't think it should ever be like that." In the aftermath of Schaefer's rant, a local reporter suggested that having football players in the crowd could draw in more fans. That led to starters DeMarvion Overshown, Xavier Worthy and Jake Majors pledging that they'd be in attendance Saturday night. https://www.hookem.com/story/sports/womens-basketball/2022/02/26/texas-basketball-longhorns-womens-team-struggling-attendance/6933446001/
  24. 🙂 Actually, I thought they played with a little more enthusiasm, came out of dugout between innings, more engaged, etc. Commend Dolcini for recovering from a shaky start. Ariz St was fielding .948 before today. Been working on their D. Infield turned 2, outfield played great. Jimmy Koalitis, asst to MW for 4 yrs at Oregon, is assistant on Ariz St. No idea of their personal relationship.
  25. Pardon for again visiting this subject, just need to vent. Channel surfing this PM, LHN had replay of McNeese game, saw and inning or two. Sophia Simpson's first collegiate start, Mike replaced her after 4.1 innings (6H 2R, 9K's). When she returned to the dugout no bench players came to greet her after her first collegiate start. 2 of them slightly clapped while sitting down, no emotion, and did not greet her as she passed. Barrett gave her an uninspiring high five and turned away. She then stood by a player I did not recognize and conversed. Hang in there, Sophia, you are going to be a good one. Team has issues.
