Moderators Blake Munroe Posted January 16 Moderators Posted January 16 Texas has hired Josh White in a PR/Social Media role. White has spent the last few years at Miami, where he served in an associate director / athletics communications role. He was basically the primary communications contact and social media manager for the Miami Hurricanes baseball team. Very minor news in the grand scheme of things, but still noteworthy. 21 2 Quote

AusMOJO Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Are you going to be doing some Baseball stuff on Youtube this year, @Blake Munroe? I'm trying to get more into Texas sports and Baseball is one of those. Do you or anyone else have any recommendations where I can learn some of the intricacies of the sport? Some of the stuff really goes over my head when it comes to stats and all that, lol. Quote

Really anything he’s written about baseball is great. Watch some YouTube videos of Ted Williams, Tony Gwynn, George Brett, or Pete Rose talk about hitting. Watch some videos of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson, Bob Feller, or Pedro Martinez talking about pitching. Ozzie Smith, Ernie Banks, Willie Mays, Johnny Bench, Pudge Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Joe Morgan, Mike Schmidt, Cal Ripken Jr., Ron Washington, Terry Francona, Joe Torre, or Dusty Baker talking defense and strategy. Here’s a video of a Tony Gwynn hitting drill. https://www.facebook.com/reel/3856983741280953/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v Here’s my man Ron Washington teaching infield https://www.facebook.com/reel/303501322456812?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v Edited January 17 by Alex Butler 1 Quote

With the excitement surrounding Schloss and the first year of playing in the SEC, I don’t see how there’s any way we couldn’t! As for the second part of your question, read Pure Baseball by Keith Hernandez. It’s on Amazon. Also watch a lot of MLB Network. They actually teach a ton on there, way better than the NFL Network. 4 Quote
