Alex, I almost fell outta my chair. This is great!

Makes sense, I guess. I think Gus always had Texas in the cooler night game because the next game for the winners was the Saturday night game then Sunday night if you won a again. I should have added to my Pepperdine post that there was no Super Regionals in those days but there were a few 6 team regionals in the later yesrs.

I'm sure it sucks for those 7th graders now but there's a high chance he's barely a top 100 prospect by the time his Junior year rolls around. I still remember when Emoni Bates was going to challenge Victor Wembanyama for the #1 pick in the.b 2023 NBA draft. Wemby is a top 5 player and Bates is in the G League playing for the Texas Legends.

They get to choose. It was the preference of Schloss to get to see back after game one and eval who they will see in game two.

Awesome, that was my next post! Course is a stone's throw from 6 creeks, and I have a bunch of balls that I need to lose🤣

That is the South Austin suburbs!! I liked playing the Plum Creek golf course, though.

Add a beer to it!

Well, if I pull this off, there's a big OLED TV at Best Buy with my name on it😄. BBQ and brew is on me.

They have, but I'm still getting the water softener/conditioner whole house, and a r/o system under the sink. Save the plumbing.

Never had COVID yet, and I am too old for the Murphy anyway. Never had polio, mumps, pertussis, smallpox, diphtheria nor hepatitis either. I believe in modern inoculation big time!!

Gotcha. I've already adopted Brooklyns down South in Buda, and like the 6 creeks area because it is way thew heck out of the maddening traffic. 620 now is murder.

I did it without a vest in rain soaked Destin

Dallas Baptist has drifted off the map a bit this year and only had 32 wins (32-26; .552). I checked their roster and another of Andy Pettitte's sons is playing for them.

Will have to bring you up to speed!

Good work!!

I'm doing that too

Thanks man, I shot @Jeff Howe a message. We are both old and I refuse to pay out the wazoo for a house in Austin. Just need a small yard, with a few small trees (I have about 20 mature oaks and hackberry and they are hades when they drop their leaves), and a pool for the grand kids.

Some of us are too old to do a mini Murph, others have never heard of what it is, and some of us are both.

I remember when Pepperdine came here for a regional. Texas could not hit an 80 mph curve ball for shizzle. Everyone in the stands was shouting "Wait!, wait!, wait!" to no avail. Arizona beat PU to go to the CWS and won it all that year. I remember seeing Swindell under the 3rd base beachers when Texas lost its 2nd game to Pepperdine. He really wanted to pitch that day but needed at least one more day of rest.

I did the burger part.

Why is Texas not playing in the evening game?? It is their Regional! 🤷🏼

No vest unfortunately but still kicked my ass. Now time for a burger and beer. Hook em 🤘

I'm getting over covid so I have limited lung capacity but did a mini murph this morning that kicked my butt.

This is the underapprecistion of west coast baseball. One or two top flight starters can be very impactful in this regional format. They are less of a threat in a Super Regional format because it’s only 1 game. I saw this directly in a high school run to a state championship. One dominant starter can’t get it done in a best 2 of 3.
