  1. SHSU beat aggy tonight 8-6. Childress in last year of contract.
  2. Spaceman_Spiff is not impressed.
  3. Thanks for posting. Exactly ! Never once in his columns at BC did he come close to criticizing Shaka. When questioned, his reply was "given benefit of the doubt, not at practice, blah, blah. He finally wrote an article in 2019 saying it would be best for a change. But never in the postgame articles did he question Shaka.
  4. Good point ! Should see a more consistent lineup with the start of conference play. Though MW likes to rotate 1B/OF for offense. Currently .953 fielding avg. Yikes !
  5. Some would agree. O'Leary solid, (3H, 7K's, 2BB, 0 runs) 4 runs in the second on 4 singles, and 2 walks, 7 total hits, Parker and Rhodes with errors (beginning to think we miss Chelsea Spencer, need to send Tulo over from the Disch) Tech pitcher walked 6 in key situations. Tech is last in B12 in hitting and next to last in pitching. https://big12sports.com/stats.aspx?path=softball&year=2021
  6. Thanks for posting ! Great interview. Lots of insight, no coachspeak.
  7. Will be difficult to sleep tonight, will add my $.02. - Antico did not consistently see this level of pitching at St Johns. Pierce is likely keeping him in the lineup because he leads the team in walks, 3rd with less K's, and 11-14 SB's. And the overall experience factor. I like him, he needs a breakout game to get back on track. - Can't see Witt getting AB's in a game like this when he is pitching. Mental thing especially for a freshman no matter his talent. Petrinsky hurt ? Geib, Melendez ? - Early in the year, someone mentioned team leadership. It wasn't there tonight. We looked tepid. Not football, but need to show more enthusiasm. Need a Kacy, Kody, Tres Barrera, Cameron Rupp. - Someone do a welfare check on @Fletch 🙂

    SCar beat Florida last night, 9-8, 14 inn, and won one game last week against Vandy. The more they win it helps our RPI/SOS.
  9. With Covid scheduling, limited travel for teams, etc, suppose there is the risk of "playing down" to the competition and not having focus. These teams are terrible. SDak (4-20) UTSA (5-13) UTA (4-18) Stats: 2nd Hitting, 3rd Pitching, Last in Fielding Gets real on Thurs with Tech coming to town. https://big12sports.com/stats.aspx?path=softball&year=2021
  10. siap, CDC's 40 Acres Insider Read as you will ... With the thrill of victory, we also experienced the agony of defeat last week. Saturday's Men's Basketball game was a heartbreaker as Coach Smart and our No. 9 Longhorns were stunned in the first round of the NCAA Tournament by Abilene Christian. It was a tough night all the way around as our Longhorns just couldn't find a groove, made far too many turnovers, and in the end came up one-point short, 53-52. Watching from Indy, it was just gut-wrenching seeing such a wonderful group of student-athletes experiencing such a disappointing end to a season that included so much success, like the Maui Invitational title (played in Asheville, N.C. due to the pandemic, of course), our first-ever Big 12 Tourney Championship, a No. 9 final ranking in the AP Poll and a 19-8 overall record. It was not how any of us wanted it to end and was so abruptly and truly devastating for us all, but like all competitors and those of us in athletics do, we must pick ourselves up off the mat, dust off and get back to work. https://texassports.com/news/2021/3/24/forty-acres-insider-march-24.aspx
  11. Read that Geib's 3 run HR was his first AB since his injury last year, and on the first pitch. Quite a reintroduction. Always liked him, 1st/3B, difficult to find a spot other than DH.
  12. https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/topic/12678-2020-little-league-thread-of-dominance/page/8/&tab=comments#comment-3161866 Check above thread from the Baseball Forum. Most are from the Austin/Houston area but may be able to offer advice.
  13. Followed the Sunday game, but unable to watch. Any opinion if any of the 3WP’s could have been blocked ? Kubichek has 7WP’s and 5HBP in 21.1 innings.

    Be nice for SCar to take 1 or 2 from Vandy for our SOS/RPI. They lost to a 6-8 Davidson team Wed.

    Florida vs aggy tonight, 6PM, SECN. Scout aggy for our matchup on 30 Mar and check out Florida's new ballpark O'Sullivan got for declining Texas. (plus a 1.25M annual salary)
  16. https://big12sports.com/stats.aspx?path=baseball&year=2021 B12 stats as conference play begins. Overall, very good. iirc, best in awhile. Luv that Fielding stat.
  17. Never know about Tuesday games, but this could be a competitive game. Vaqueros took 2/3 from Baylor to open the season and just split a 4 games series with Grand Canyon (normally solid club) in Az this past weekend. That said, their stats are not impressive and Rimac hasn't pitched since 26 Feb when he was rocked by UW in Seattle. Head coach is Derek Matlock, former Texas St and WVU assistant, solid baseball guy. https://goutrgv.com/sports/baseball/stats/2021
  18. Not a member of either, but paid subscription is now the "way of the world". Always liked the D1 Baseball Chat on Monday but now requires a subscription. Very little, if any free content on either site. Even The Baseball Cube, premier research site, now requires subscription. D1 is $119 per year, $14.99 per month. Ouch ! They do sometimes offer specials but not much less. D1 started the fully paid trend and the others followed. I've met Kendall and talked to him at the Disch, but just not worth it. Find it helpful to glean info from visiting other team fan forums.
  19. 6 Feb 1939 - 15 Mar 2018 RIP, Great One ! Thanks for the memories. "You want to win everything along the way, because that buys you 24 hours of peace, but the national championship is the goal for this program."
  20. This week's schedule (aggyCorpus, BYU, Texas Southern, Tarleton St) are under .500. BYU has played a fairly strong schedule (Az, AzSt, Wash, Utah) Time to work on defense. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/d1/usa-today/nfca-coaches Polls: USAToday/NFCA - 10 D1 - 11 ESPN - 11
  21. https://www.iheart.com/live/talk-1073-fm-5602/ LSU radio.
  22. Should have clarified, for those that do not have ESPN+. OU 2/Mizzou 1, 4th inn, , Uverse 1751 FSNOK. Juarez has gained alot of weight.
  23. The finish of game one will not be streamed live or air on a TV network. Live stats will be available to follow at LSUStats.com. https://lsusports.net/news/2021/3/5/softballs-friday-game-with-texas-halted-due-to-rain.aspx. DH to follow will be on SEC+. Q&A about SEC+. Perhaps someone can find/post a stream to simplify. @shadow_operative2.0 @Machinator🙂 https://www.secsports.com/article/23926730/about-sec-network+
  24. Too early to tell. Texas St normally a competitive game. UH took 3/4 from aggy corpus, 2 were 1 run games. SCarolina picked 4th in SEC East behind Florida, Vandy, Tenn (strong division). All teams seem to be playing at least 2 midweek games meaning pitching will be stretched. Texas St and UH games are scheduled for ESPN+. ESPN+ has alot of college baseball games this year. Worth the $5.99 per month. https://www.espn.com/espnplus/schedule/_/type/upcoming/channel/ESPN_PLUS/startDate/20210303
  25. Good call Pato ! Pierce agrees. After the game, Pierce blamed himself for the bullpen's implosion. Pierce said that instead of playing the matchups, he should have immediately gone to Witt. "We've got to make a better choice right there," Pierce said. "It's probably my fault for putting them in that situation." A week ago against Arkansas, Stevens was again solid before running into trouble in the sixth inning. Ahead of this season, none of Stevens' 33 appearances at Texas had lasted more than 2.1 innings. "I don't think it's a concern yet, I truly don't," Pierce said of his starter's sixth-inning shortcomings. "Again, we get to know that maybe his tops is 85, 90 pitches and he can still eat up a lot of innings because he's such a good strike thrower. That's information as well." https://www.hookem.com/story/sports/baseball/2021/02/27/baseball-bullpen-decisions-cost-texas-series-finale-against-byu/6854832002/ Witt has nothing else to prove. Hope he is not overused. Also, no need to DH, too valuable as a pitcher. Seems to be the ideal closer. Besides outstanding "stuff", has that J Brent Cox/Huston Street attitude. Wenzel can handle mid relief.
