December 25, 20195 yr I’m guessing we do. This’ll probably be similar to DP’s first year. Hopefully he can pull a 2017 and turn a scrappy group of rag tags into a conference winning, CWS type team. Last time we finished last in conference, we did pretty well the next year so fingers crossed I guess

January 7, 20205 yr anybody got any hot tips on the gametimes for these games in February/early March? Need to start making plans, yo.

January 13, 20205 yr A line item that says our first to worst nosedive last year was unprecedented in Texas history but now par for the course of an apathetic athletic department and fanbase that thinks Omaha & Hardware is the working title for a Builder's Square corporate comeback? At least baseball writers know enough about their sport to not automatically write us into every pre-season poll only to watch us piss it away. I think we're certainly better than we were last year, how can we not be? But I think a top-half conference finish and road bid to a regional is about the best we can hope for until we get some more experience. That said, where the fuck are the game times?
January 15, 20205 yr https://twitter.com/TexasBaseball?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author Huston's number (25) was retired today. Congratulations ! Nice short vid on twitter that perhaps someone more adept can embed. "I'm not going to let someone else get better than me … Greatness is just doing one good thing over and over again..."
January 15, 20205 yr Bottom right corner of the tweet click the up arrow, then ‘Copy link to Tweet’. Post that here.
January 15, 20205 yr They got big names too. Quote Former major league third baseman and ex-White Sox manager Robin Ventura has resurfaced at Oklahoma State as a student assistant, per Kendall Rogers of D1baseball.com. The Cowboys’ staff now boasts him and fellow former big leaguer Matt Holliday, whose brother, Josh Holliday, manages the team. The 52-year-old Ventura hasn’t coached in the majors since the White Sox let him go after the 2016 season. Ventura’s name came up when the Mets were seeking a manager in 2017, but he reportedly didn’t have interest in the position.
January 15, 20205 yr I think Nolan Ryan has a ranch up that way, Robin. So watch your melon, you fucking child.
January 15, 20205 yr We should hire Nolan now that he's unemployed and maybe they can go at it again.

January 22, 20205 yr Just as a public service message, single game Rice baseball tickets for the Texas series don't go on sale until Feb 3rd. However, they offer a 3 game mini package that is on sale now along with their season tickets and you can make all three Texas games the mini package.

January 24, 20205 yr I was really looking forward to taking my oldest to this next week but I won't get back into town until around 5:00p. Speaking of schedules, nothing on the main website but if any of y'all see any of our home gametimes posted on social media or whatever, would you put it here por favor? thanks

January 25, 20205 yr Hamate injuries are quite common in baseball caused by high, compression forces during a swing (see below article). CJ Hinojosa dealt with the same. As McComas states, full strength may take time. Though he brings power at the plate, I am excited to see Duplantier pitch. https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2014/5/2/5672834/hamate-fractures-and-power-in-the-pitchfx-era Hamate bone fractures are one of the more common upper extremity injuries seen in baseball, not only due to the abundance of occasional wayward pitches or foul tips striking a glancing blow to the area, but also due to where hitters position their hands on the bat, which can introduce repetitive, high compression forces on the bone during a swing, but in particular, during a checked swing. Along with the forces and motions mentioned, the hook-like protrusion of the bone—also called the hamulus or hook of hamate— and certain vascular features make the hamate (lettered 'H' in the image below) predisposed to injury.
January 27, 20205 yr Tickets for the game @ Houston are available via the Houston Cougar box office. You have to call to do any kind of seat selection. I got mine. Tickets for the game @ Whataburger field are not on sale yet. They said they'd reach out when they post.

Click on "add to calendar" at the top of the schedule. Yes, that's true. But also by doing that...you get gametimes as fast as the Yellow Pages. I used your technique, and all it gave me were the three games in Houston for the tourney. I used my technique and now I know when the opening week of home games will be held so I can plan accordingly. Don't get me wrong, no pride of authorship. I just want to know gametimes.

(if correct comparing to Fall roster) Bryce Reagan, IF (Soph) Turner Gauntt, C (RS Soph) Chase Roberts, OF (Soph) Tanner Haney, IF (Freshman) Grayson Lembcke, IF (Soph) Check my figures, I count 21 pitchers including Fields and Duplantier who also are position players. Normally carry 15-17, so next cuts may be pitchers. If Duplantier has any of his brother's genes (Diamondbacks) we will have something. Edited January 29, 20205 yr by torre
