  1. Noticeable body transformation was underway when I saw him in April.
  2. You'll find your answer if you look at Connie Clark's record at Texas with Cat Osterman and Blaire Luna and compare it to her record without them. It's not like looking at Charlie Strong's coaching record with and without Teddy Bridgewater, but the softball program's five Super Regionals and four trips to the WCWS before Mike White were either with one of those two pitchers on the roster.
  3. We'll see. I think the focus is on bringing in pieces rather than 1-for-1 replacements. Losing Belyeu, Galvan, Flores and Schuessler is a lot to replace in one offseason, even with access to the portal. Depth was one of Schloss' biggest concerns throughout the season, so I'm expecting a lot of roster turnover.
  4. Livingston's team rankings for the Shockers in 2025 (minimum of 2 PA/G or 75 percent of the team's games played): — Third in batting average (.284) — First in OPS (.958) — First in home runs (15, the only Wichita State player with more than eight) — First in RBI (48) — First in total bases (117) — First in slugging (.555) — T-1 in walks (28) — Second in OPB (.403)
  5. Texas needs infield depth, period. Livingston gives them another option for either of the corner infield positions.
  6. Farmer deserves a lot of credit for the work he put in to get himself into the mix as a starter following the coaching change. When it comes to his replacement, however, I think Texas needs a corner outfielder who can either get on base more frequently (a .371 OBP with 25 walks and 10 HBP against 65 strikeouts) or provide more pop (44 total hits with 13 doubles and one home run, good for a .339 slugging percentage).
  7. What Mike White said after the championship series loss to Oklahoma last year sticks with me. While Texas was doing the postgame press conference as the losing team, Coach White said, “I’d like to be the coach in the next press conference one day.” He’s two wins away from finding out how the other side lives at the end of the title series.
  8. Bases empty, two outs, top of the seventh, Texas up 2-0. Lady Vols are down to their last out.
  9. Other than Steve Bradley, I can’t think of many other Longhorns who wore No. 89.
  10. They've got something special about them, for sure. A senior-dominated group that plays with an edge.
  11. It's a hamstring, so the only thing that will heal it is rest. It's nagging at this point.
  12. I doubt it. He needs to get his hamstring right.
  13. FINAL: UTSA 7, Texas 4 The Longhorns have been eliminated from the Austin Regional, ending the 2025 season with a 44-14 record.
  14. It's a shame Belyeu got hurt and missed a chunk of the season. He's a tremendous talent who will be a few million dollars richer in a few months.
  15. Texas trails 7-4. Schuessler comes to the plate with two outs.
  16. Probably Max Belyeu's last AB at Disch-Falk is a two-run home run to right.
  17. Hard-hit ball by Galvan gets up on Hodge at short. Texas is still alive.
  18. Galvan comes to the plate with two outs in the top of the ninth for what should be his last at-bat as a Longhorn.
  19. Farmer is retired in foul territory. One down.
