With surgery in a young athlete, I would expect good healing within about 6 weeks. Doesn't look bad to me. My son broke his in 9th grade not requiring surgery and he wasn't feeling like raising his hand that high at the time
March 26Mar 26 Just had his first at bat against Sam Houston. Struck out, but still cool to see him out there.
April 19Apr 19 I think we was robbed of at least a double by the ump right before his first RBI hit too.

April 19Apr 19 Missed first few innings fighting with some goofy ESPN/YTTV problem. But holy shit, kid looks good. Naw, make that FUCKING GOOD. Hook'em
April 19Apr 19 Dude is a stud. Would like to see him in an Astros Uniform and Texans. He can do anything he wants. So glad we have him!!!!

SECN+, and yes it showed up on ESPN app, just wouldn't connect to Auburn game. Desktop and Firestick same thing. Finally found it worked on my music studio laptop no problem. No idea, still looking. Damn good thing the big screen in my library has three HDMI ports and the sound system runs off the screen... plug in that laptop and good to go.
April 19Apr 19 I’ve been able to watch every game on standard YouTube, not YTTV. Just search Auburn Texas Live.

April 19Apr 19 12 minutes ago, Tex Long said: Doesn't that mean someone has to stream it? Yes. Most of the college baseball games have been streamed this year. It's usually 2 or 3 sources originating from Vietnam. Many of the international soccer games are streamed from Vietnam so it makes sense that they just seem to be streaming everything.
April 19Apr 19 This team is full of dawgs. Aggie is about to FAFO. We're aren't a fluke, this team is for real. Just wait until we get Belyeu back, Mendoza fully healthy, and A-Rod fully healthy.
April 19Apr 19 If the kid is as good at football as he is at baseball he could potentially play both at the next level. Because he is fast and hits the shit out of the ball.

Damn good thing the big screen in my library has three HDMI ports and the sound system runs off the screen... plug in that laptop and good to go. I've had pretty good luck getting to SECN+ by starting at texassports.com and just clicking the "video" button for both the softball and baseball teams, whether I'm on my desktop or on the NVIDIA Shield Pro connected to the living room. Before I got into that habit, I had regular issues just finding the games in ESPN or YTTV listings, despite YTTV and Disney+ subscriptions, and then getting them to recognize that I was already paying them.

April 20Apr 20 Looking forward to his participation this Fall in FB. Not wishing an early exit in BB, just saying. Dude totally missed all of Spring FB practice, but b/t Schloss and Sark, it’s like you be you kid! Thanks for showing up.Hook’em!!!

Plenty of time for summer camp to start.

Given that Texas is loaded at safety, I’m going to be really surprised if Williams is in store for much PT this fall outside of special teams. I guess if Filsaime just doesn’t come along and they have a rash of injuries, things could change. Seems like he should be just fine playing baseball through the CWS finals.
April 20Apr 20 I feel like you could send him out there as a hybrid s/lb and he would be able to make quite an impact. Seems like that kind of athlete

It is entirely possible that the Ohtani contract was the absolute last of its kind and teams will start to roll back average player contracts.

His post-athletic career quality of life will be exponentially better if he chooses baseball when he turns professional. And he'll likely have a longer life if he chooses baseball. There are studies on this. Edited April 21Apr 21 by cafe society

April 21Apr 21 And Tucker is going to get a big one also this off-season most likely. For quality of life post sports, baseball players are much better off.
April 21Apr 21 I mean for quality of life almost any job out there is better than getting hit daily, so the money vs quality of life is the question, Gini coefficient and all that. Can Jonah secure the bag in baseball? or Football? that is probably the real question in his head.
April 21Apr 21 Early in life money definitely favors football, longterm earnings and it swings back heavy to baseball assuming a player is roughly as good at each sport. You have to be good for a few years in MLB before the money starts to roll in, but when it does it could be a whole lot. Football you can get a decent amount just by being a high draft pick.

Another big factor is his family has been through the MLB process with his older brother being a 2nd rounder out of high school and having a cup of coffee in the show. His family will understand better than anybody the grind of the major leagues and trying to make it past those arbitration years if you do make it.

I don't know precisely when fall camp begins, but roughly one month to prepare would feel daunting for me. I'm sure he'll manage, but those first couple days with conditioning tests, etc. are going to be brutal coming off of a rehab and baseball season that doesn't allow for participating in Becton's spring/summer work. I hope he shines if needed, but this is gonna be tough to do.
