August 12, 20214 yr Not sure this is the right forum, but he would appreciate being honored. Shocked to read that Chris Lippincott , 47, passed away from pneumonia (not Covid related). Some may have known him or have seen him at the Disch. Chris was a very avid Texas Baseball fan, sitting in Section 2, keeping score, and watching his beloved 'Horns, rarely missing a game. The most congenial, the most respected, one of the most intelligent persons you will meet. I would encourage you to read the complete story of his life below. Thoughts and prayers for his wife and children. Excerpts: Outside of his family, Lippincott's real love was UT baseball. During his time as an undergraduate, Lippincott would haul his books to games believing that spectating would amount to some form of studying, according to friends Lippincott was a fixture at Longhorn baseball games where he could often be seen on the first base line. His wife noted that even from a hospital bed, he followed UT's recent run to the College World Series. "He said, 'Hey how bad can it be when I can watch Longhorn baseball on the TV here at the hospital?'" Elizabeth Lippincott said. Later his spirits were lifted by being placed in a hospital room at St. David's Hospital that afforded him a view of the UT Tower and Royal-Memorial Stadium. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/08/12/austin-texas-transportation-department-political-insider-media-expert-chris-lippincott-dies/5555994001/

August 14, 20214 yr Campbell was playing 2B in his summer league. I do wonder if Campbell plays 2B next year and Daly moves to 3rd. Daly can play 2B, SS or 3B. This was a scenario I hadn't thought about but makes sense now that Campbell was playing 2B this summer. Edit: Looking at the starting lineups it looks like Campbell may have been playing 3B but the Foresters stats have him listed at 2B. Edited August 14, 20214 yr by texasstrong12

Middle D needs to continue being a real strength .. especially since we’ll have a new CF next season.
August 30, 20214 yr So when do we know who did or did not make it on campus? Classes started already, right?
August 30, 20214 yr It's a little creepy, but you can just go to the UT directory at utexas.edu and search by each surname to see if they are currently enrolled.
September 9, 20214 yr I'm so starved for a game that I'm considering coming down for this as reported by d1baseball.com San Jacinto @Texas Oct 24th. My last in person game was @Stanford in 2019. That's too long.

September 10, 20214 yr Fall Practice has started, don't know when. As mentioned above, apparently there is a Fall schedule. May want to follow twitter for updates. Support staff needs to improve communication to the fan base. https://twitter.com/TexasBaseball?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author Melendez working out at 1B.

September 12, 20214 yr Yeah, I found myself giving up on the football analysis this morning and figuring out fall ball logistics (games should be announced in a week or two) and then how I can attend as many November/December basketball games in person. The table is really nicely set for Pearce this season as we've hashed out after the draft. Did we ever do that final check of whether or not every one of our signees made it to campus and enrolled?
September 15, 20214 yr I count 9 transfers: INF Skyler Messinger (Kansas) C Kimble Schuessler (Texas A&M) INF Jack O'Dowd (Vanderbilt) RHP Jace Hutchins (Blinn) RHP Daniel Blair (Winthrop) RHP Zane Morehouse (Dyersburg) C Preston Hoffart (Blinn) RHP Marcus Olivarez (Lamar) 1B/LHP Cameron Dayton (Midland) Notable omissions: Lance Ford Caston Peter Peter Geib
September 15, 20214 yr Uh yeah, what's the story on Ford? I'm not seeing him in the student directory.

September 24, 20214 yr Stehly must be coming on strong to be pushing Messinger for the starting spot. Interesting development. Can Stehly play 1b or 2b to spell those guys every now and again if he ends up the 5th infielder? Glad to hear Duplantier is gonna focus on pitching. We need him more there. As interesting to watch as two-way players are, they rarely excel at one or both. Would like to see him dominate on the mound, at least for this season. Any leaks on social media about any possible Fall World Series games next month?

Campbell can play all over the infield too.

October 5, 20214 yr any of y'all on UT social media hear anything about Fall Ball/Fall World Series games later this month?
