June 11, 20187 yr I have a feeling he gets drilled tomorrow in a spot where they would’ve intentionally walked him. But fuck it, that’ll probably add fuel to the fire, resulting in him hitting another hr with an even more exaggerated stare down. God, I love this man.
June 11, 20187 yr Gonna need some heroics from some other players, Kody cant do everything. Or can he?
June 11, 20187 yr Gonna need some heroics from some other players, Kody cant do everything. Or can he?Get on base in front of him, have a few behind him that can hit and we’ll be fine. The lineup yesterday was nice. Produce at the 1 and 2 spots and have the 4 and 5 put the ball in play and either Kody gets his RBIs or zubes and McK punish them for the walk.
June 13, 20187 yr Horns in Omaha again with a big helping of Clemens served each game of the Super Regionals. Well done. Now it is time to keep on driving through the pigs and then the rest. Lead, inspire, get the hits with RISP.
June 13, 20187 yr is everyone still voting? https://www.usabaseball.com/golden-spikes-award/nominees/2018
June 13, 20187 yr While I can't actually vote for AG over RD (I mean come the fuck on people), I can in fact click 25 for Kody!

June 25, 20187 yr Sad, but totally expected and sensible. Might as well get started on that road. Hook 'em, good sir.
June 25, 20187 yr One of the most entertaining, albeit nerve wracking, Supers I've ever attended. Thanks Kody.
June 25, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, Anastasis said: He can put the apostrophe anywhere he fn wants. It probably represents something we as mere mortals are unaware of at this time and place. Hook 'em Kody!
June 26, 20187 yr We have never had a Player of the Year before? Oh wait they have only been giving out this award since 2001. That makes more sense. I was thinking 'damn what did Burt Hooton have to do?'
June 26, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, Js1 said: #2 retired then? Isn't that one of the criteria for Texas players? I mean I love Kody but I have a hard time putting him up there with those guys. He had one great season.

I mean, I'm going by the unofficial Athletic Department policy. https://www.statesman.com/sports/college/faq-retiring-jerseys/tDaJXcGULyiyczdBpROKuO/ Quote The only real criteria Texas has is that the player must have won a national player of the year award, but even that rule is not set in stone. In 2008, the athletic department amended that rule to include several players from years past in football and baseball.
June 26, 20187 yr 36 minutes ago, Pato del Muerto said: Did he sign for slot? Selected with the first pick in the third round by the Tigers, Clemens was in line for an estimated slot bonus of $750,800, but opted to sign for $600,000, according to MLB.com’s Jim Callis. https://www.burntorangenation.com/2018/6/25/17501744/kody-clemens-signs-detroit-tigers-texas-longhorns-baseball Congrats and thanks to Kody. Something about that #2 (Mark Payton).
June 28, 20187 yr apparently the golden spikes award winner is to be announced today/tonight. Good Luck Kody. Quote The 2018 USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award will be presented on Thursday, June 28, on ESPN's SportsCenter. Following the nationally televised announcement of the winner, the finalists and their families will be celebrated at the Jonathan Club Los Angeles as part of the 2018 Rod Dedeaux Foundation Awards Dinner. https://www.usabaseball.com/golden-spikes-award/about Edited June 28, 20187 yr by zork
June 28, 20187 yr CA Bear, Andrew Vaughn won it. Still a great season. Wish they had cumulative stats on their voting list. KC's power continued and then some through the playoffs.
June 29, 20187 yr Well that fucking sucks. Kody was a machine at the plate through the second half of the season. Fuck it. Thanks for a memorable season, Kody.
July 5, 20187 yr Here is the PBP of his two bombs, no video yet: The first(click near 'Dan Hasty' to go to the tweet which has the PBP embedded): The second(click near 'Dan Hasty' to go to the tweet which has the PBP embedded):
July 5, 20187 yr Detroit's second basemen is consistently negative in his 'WAR' so I guess that means Kody's shot to get at least a cup of coffee in Detroit come September is pretty high.
July 6, 20187 yr that second one was a *shot*. i really like how he just put the bat down and rounded the bases too. when he was playing at home in the ncaa tournament and some directional tennessee team with little man syndrome came into austin talking he shit he went deep and gave it right back to them. a few weeks later he's the new guy in town as a rookie in the minors and he handles himself like a pro. but, but every aggie i know insists he's a classless t sip piece of shit who's gonna get himself beaned in the pros...

July 6, 20187 yr Here is the righty that served up both HR, from BYU: http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=193029#Awards picked in the 34th round last year was pretty good in rookie ball last year with a .53 ERA in 34 IP(no HR allowed) this year is more pedestrian in A ball with a 4.26 ERA although in 82 IP (11 bombs away with 62 SO) Edited July 6, 20187 yr by zork thought it was high A ball but just A, I think.
July 24, 20187 yr 2-3 again today with a triple, single, and a walk. BA up to .267, .831 OPS. Seems like he is hitting his groove.(pun slightly intended) https://www.milb.com/gameday/whitecaps-vs-river-bandits/2018/07/23/541903#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=541903 here's audio from the tater yesterday:(click to the right of Dan Hasty then click the play button for the audio) Edited July 24, 20187 yr by zork
July 29, 20187 yr 3-4 yesterday with homer number 4 , a double and a single. He has moved his way into the 3 hole slot as well. The homer video: The box score: https://www.milb.com/gameday/cubs-vs-whitecaps/2018/07/28/542040#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=542040
