June 18Jun 18 Anyone try to fill out a lineup card with what we have right now? I don't know enough about the portal adds to do it...
June 19Jun 19 2B Mendoza CF Robbins LF Rodriguez (S) C- Portal (hopefully Tinney) SS- Portal (hopefully Becker). RF- Freeman (S) 3B Borba 1B- Livingston (L) DH- Moroknek/Chamberlain/etc. I’m assuming Gasparino and Winfield are being recruited over.

June 19Jun 19 If the roster limit is 34 we still need to cut like 10 rostered guys/commits. Reducing roster sizes was such an unnecessary move

Schloss is not going into next season with 3 guys in the lineup who can't hit the ball at all and having a dearth of lefthanded options. I can see some platooning in the OF and also gives more options for matchups later in games. it would be huge if we get Tinney and Becker. then it would be what we all thought. the only guys worth keeping were Mendoza, Arod, Borba, Jonah and getting a catcher in case Galvan leaves.

It is kind of hilarious how different the baseball draft is from the football draft. The football draft is a moment of pride, to celebrate the accomplishments of our player development. The baseball draft is where our fondest hopes go to die.

June 19Jun 19 I’m still waiting for the lawsuit of an athlete saying he doesn’t have to go to school and stay eligible to play. It’s gonna happen

It’s gonna happen do they sign scholarship papers still? I would guess(and this is only guess) the catch is, you sign a scholarship contract and also a separate NIL contract. if the scholarship contract allows the university to kick you off the team for grades, attendance, etc. and the NIL contract says you must be on the team and eligible to play to get paid, there is a safety net. but certainly someone could sue as you say because in America you can sue anyone for anything. I think the chance of them winning is pretty damn low though.

June 20Jun 20 Popular Post Blake Munroe - Things are really heating up for Jim Schlossnagle and his staff, as Texas continues to be very active (and very selective) in the portal. - The Longhorns have hosted at least five players this week alone. - Those visits continue today, which include 2025 Buster Posey Award Finalist Carson Tinney of Notre Dame. He's one that you want Texas to land. That would be a big time get. - While I won't get into other names, I can tell you those visitors include both pitchers and catchers. - There are a handful of players that if Texas decides they want them, they are in. It would be a done deal. With that said, the big question will be IF the Horns decide to move forward. - The addition of Georgia State's Kaleb Freeman was huge for so many reasons. Freeman is a utility player in every sense of the word and gives the Horns so much flexibility as far as where he can play. One source described him as a "super utility". - Aiden Robbins was definitely a case of Texas flexing it's muscle, as they beat out both LSU and Texas A&M. The Longhorns consider Robbins to be the best batter in the portal this year. That's a MAJOR win. - Chris Hacopian committed to Texas A&M yesterday. Despite what Aggie reporters say, Texas did NOT push for him. He's a great hitter, but fielding is a question mark. - The Texas staff continues to push for both Eric Becker and Henry Ford. Both have visited the Forty Acres and those decisions could come at any time. - Expect more fireworks soon.
June 20Jun 20 Feels like Becker and Tinney's names have been floating around awhile. Haven't seen any names of any pitching except the Miss St lefty at the time he commited. We have a lot of arms coming back and likely coming in from HS, but tbh our staff wasn't good enough or deep enough to get it done this year. Gonna have to cut some of them so lets hope we keep the right ones and they develop. A Friday/Saturday starter would take some of the pressure of Volantis and make the whole staff look much deeper

Even if he doesn't, I'm betting Texas does. Maybe not all three, but I'd put the O/U at 1.5.
June 20Jun 20 We have a distant relative who is committed to TEXAS. If he makes the roster, I'll fess up. Now, that college baseball is over this is a problem for me. My wife will start expecting me fix stuff and make something other than martini's for supper. Now what?!

Especially given the portal window is May 30 - July 13. Not saying he won't portal though - he could generate interest from other schools if he continues this pace in Summer ball and decides he wants to lock in a starting role elsewhere. He simply needs to enter by July 13th. Picking a school can drag on. Edited June 20Jun 20 by MuellerHorn
