IMO, one thing that would improve the field aesthetic is just putting dirt around the bases.  After that, I don't care if it is grass or turf.

This. I have no idea why people give a shit whether its turf or grass. The dirt is the only thing we need to change.

Tennessee's field turf cost them a total of $1.25M in 2019. A description on how the infield/outfield plays etc...Capturetenn.PNG.2f26c56d644ab3937b374f52001c3e4a.PNG

The biggest obstacle at Disch-Falk isn't going to be turf, the turf can be improved rather easily IMO. The biggest issue is space. Outfield space, specifically.

Can just anyone do the hissing, or does it need to be a junior or senior?

To be clear, I am not talking about having dirt all the way around the base paths.... just replacing the brown turf around the bags.

Like my buddy Lat22 used to say, aggy will take a dump and call that a "tradition".

There was some aggie jokebook post on LFZ years ago that was something like, "If an Aggie does anything, and another Aggie sees it...it's automatically a tradition."  

Few years later, we were at the LFZ tailgate for the A&M game.  And we're shitfaced.  And somebody brought some Aggies with him to the party, and everything was all good and cordial.  and I tried to re-tell the joke, but it started coming out as "If a log falls on Aggie in the forest, does the other Aggie make a sound?"  this is like 3 years after bonfire.  Everybody around me was looking at me like "Abort.  Abort.  Abort."  Then Wheeler stole a bus, we hired Coach Schloss, and what the fuck is a point of a warning track if it doesn't feel any different under your feet?  Somebody's gonna get Bump Bailey'd out there one day.  

Del Conte indicated there's serious planning right now for the area between LF/CF and the Tennis Center.  They want to do it right, but they also want to get the funding in before the current Capital Campaign ends.  I got the impression they'll reveal something right before or during the season to keep support high and money flowing in.

Alright, I'm filtering out all the JUCO guys because I don't think they are taking any of them. I'm assuming Thomas, Flores, LBJ and Witt are gone as well. I'll also filter out Rainer/Gillen as they have zero shot of making it to campus. This is what it looks like numbers-wise:

C (3)- Galvan, Schuessler, Service (could be OF), Chamberlain*

INF (5)- Borba, Duplantier, Sanders, Luna*, Richardson*

OF (8)- Gasparino, Belyeu, Winfield, Peterson, Cummings, Farmer, Scott*, Jordan*

RHP (19)- Grubbs, Tumis, Hamilton, O'Hara, Duplantier?, Boehm?, Burns, Trop, Moffett, Howard, Zaharias, Walton*, Jordan*, Millett*, DeGroat*, Lyons*, Kahalekai*, Flores*, Sterling*

LHP (7)- Whitehead, Mercer, Harrison, Shaw, Bertsch, Powell*, Covert*

That is 42 right there. I don't think we will have any problem getting under 40 between more transfers and draft casualties.

Updated:

C (3)- Galvan, Schuessler, Service (could be OF), Chamberlain*

INF (7)- Borba, Duplantier, Sanders, Mendoza, Luna*, Richardson*, Rodriguez*

OF (8)- Gasparino, Belyeu, Winfield, Peterson, Cummings, Farmer, Scott*, Jordan*

RHP (16)- Grubbs, Tumis, Hamilton, O'Hara, Duplantier?, Boehm?, Burns, Trop, Moffett, Howard, Zaharias, Vartanian, DeGroat*, Lyons*, Flores*, Sterling*

LHP (9)- Whitehead, Mercer, Bing, Walker, Harrison, Bertsch, Powell*, Covert*, Navarre*

So 43 right now but could be upwards of 45+ if we get good draft luck and a few more transfers.

Per the first quoted post, OB says Gage is back. Fingers crossed there. Get Mercer back to health with Gage returning, and that's one hell of a back end to the bullpen. Also, I don't remember the last time there were this many initial options for LHP. The more balanced staff (at least prior to cuts) is good to see.

Overall, the initial roster boasts a quality core to work with. I wish Schloss could have pulled a star player from A&M, but the offense should still be very competitive and we should see improvement from Borba and Gasparino (hopefully). I'm willing to bet we see a few more transfers and get lucky with one or two with the draft.

I'm very excited for next season after what was a dismal outlook back in May/early June.

Do we have anyone to play 3rd or short?

Just now, hobbes2702 said:

Borba and Richardson profile to 3B.

Rodriguez can play SS and 3B.

I really think they are banking on getting Flores back so the draft is going to be a sweat.

I would think NIL makes it easier to retain draft eligible sophomores- or anyone that has multiple years of eligibility remaining.  I don’t know where the 100-500k bonus range is though, so I don’t know what caliber of prospect is good NIL target (assuming we don’t burn 7 figures of NIL on a baseball player)
