April 5, 20223 yr I’d like to see eckhart look good one time through their order, then a parade of bullpen arms to see who can/will throw strikes or competitive non-strikes to rgv. Edited April 5, 20223 yr by Pato del Muerto

April 5, 20223 yr Through 30 games 2021 22-8, 7-2 conference (BU, OU, KU) 2022 21-9, 3-3 conference (TT, OU) Need to have one of those 16 game win streaks like we had in the middle of last season.
April 5, 20223 yr Well, we still lead the all-time series. I don't think UT-B had a baseball team, IIRC. csb/ one of my uncles played briefly for UT-Pan Am way back in the day (mid 60's, middle infield). And one of my cousins is the eye doctor/vision coach for the UT-RGV Vaqueros. Cool that FEZ is able to pitch tonight for UTRGV, didn't think he had any eligilbility left.

April 5, 20223 yr Lmk if anyone has a ticket they're trying to get rid of. Forecast is HOT HOT HOT with a 100% chance of passion.

I shouldn't have typed UT-Pan Am. Back then it was just Pan American College/University (can't remember when the switch was, but didn't become a UT System school for a long while after that). But I think he was there around the transition from NAIA to NCAA. School got pretty big. But to your point, yeah the 1970's were a heyday for them, made the NCAA tourney on the regular. I think they even made Omaha one year too, right? I remember going to visit my mom's mom and some aunts/uncles still in the Valley when I was a kid and either an uncle or my dad would take us to a Pan Am ball game (this woulda been very late 70's to mid 80's). Takes me back...

I think Brownsville had a team but it was NAIA. You can't blame System for wanting to highlight Pan Am baseball history over UT-B. Pan Am made the NCAA tourney like 12 times in the 70's and 80's, including Omaha. Most of us have no idea if UT-B even had a team or what level they played at. 33 minutes ago, Horndog said: I seem to remember some sort of monument at their stadium for a player killed by a lightening strike. Ray Caldwell did not attend Pan Am. As far as I know he's the only college/pro baseball player ever struck by lightning. But I'm sure there were others at myriad levels. I've been to Pan Am so many times, I'm sure I would have noticed such a statue..but haven't been there in many years so I dunno. I posted the remarkable life story (truncated even by Lobo standards) of Ray Caldwell. Read up on him if you ever get a chance. He led one of the most amazing lives you'll ever learn about. Fun fact, he was half-drunk in that game he completed. He credits his being "loose" to survive the strike. Alright, let's get two!

Pan Am player electrocuted while working on the stadium. Sorry, apparently no lightning involved.
April 5, 20223 yr Shoot, never knew that's why the old stadium was named that. Decent chance my uncle knew him. Really good chance tx 3 putt's dad knew him/played with him. Man sounded like an all-around great guy and player. Even helped build the new stadium. RIP #6.

April 5, 20223 yr So Murph to the 2 and Hodo to the leadoff.I like it tbh, maybe flip Faltine and Todd, but I think this is right. Any word on EK?

Honestly - there aren't a ton of wrong answers with the way these guys are swinging. Something like DC at 2 is even somewhat intriguing with his speed.
April 5, 20223 yr Hopefully Silas will be replaced early by Schuessler. Rest for the catcher is a good thing.
