Great first day of action at the JuiceBox... marquee game tomorrow... Baylor vs. UCLA... projected first rounder Kendal Volz (Smithson Valley) will take the hill for the Bears... and UCLA freshman sensation Gerrit Cole will take the rubber for the Bruins... should be one heck of a game. If you are in the Houston area, I highly recommend that you make it out to Minute Maid for a great day of baseball.

He's a monster... I had the pleasure of having him on my team for a year when he was a sophmore. He closed the game for the USA National team in the gold medal game against Japan.

because I am a HUGE stats guy....

the national team established program-record 0.88 ERA, Team defeated Cuban Olympic Team twice at Haarlem Baseball Week, including a 4-1 victory in the event's gold medal game that marked the first time a USA collegiate team defeated Cuba's Olympic Team in the championship game of an international event ... Served as Team USA's closer, converting eight saves in as many attempts ... Allowed only one unearned run in 14.0 innings over 13 appearances for a staff-best 0.00 ERA ... Scattered six hits and five walks against 16 strikeouts ... Held opponents to a .130 batting average and posted a 0.786 WHIP,Was named Team USA's third-best pro prospect by Baseball America.

Baylor knocks off No. 9 UCLA, 5-1. Cool moment in the bottom of the 8th... UCLA's rally was squashed when Baylor turned a 3-6-1 triple play to get out of a jam... great win for the Bears!

It is baseball...midweek losses happen all the time, losses to top 10 teams in their city happen all the time... A&M is a good ball club, maybe not the No. 1 team, but they are surely one of the top 10

Baseball in the north region of the US is usually pretty weak.

A&M loses to Centenary and gets shut out against Rice. Come on now Ags I thought ya'll had something going here.Keep in mind the Centenary loss came midweek after a 4-game weekend series and a game the day before where we beat them 11-1, and the Rice game was in Houston.

[Sicemhorns09]

I am not sure that I like the new field at the Dish... the Longhorn in CF looks a bit softball-ish and I cannot figure out the purpose of the added lines in the infield

Oregon State can get recruits from California... I understand it is a northern state but it's on the west coast. Nebraska is more mid-west...Lincoln is about as southern as you can get in Nebraska. I'm talking about Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Michigan, etc...

Brandon Workman just tossed a No hitter(21st no hitter in Texas History) with 10 ks and defeat Penn St. 9-0. Texas is now 9-0 on the season. We play Texas State next on Tuesday then head to Palo Alto to play Stanford in a 3 game series.

Texas has 3 shut outs this year and has outscored their opponents 49-10 in their first 9 games.

Texas State will be a good game for the Horns this week. They have a potent offense and should contend for their conference title. As for the 9-0 start by Texas, not bad, but not one of the games has been against a quality team. Stanford will be a good test for this team.

Allowing 10 runs in 9 games in NCAA baseball is a hell of a job... Your right our quality of competition hasn't been very good but our pitchers are on fire right now.

With the aggys losing two games this week... Baseball America will have a new #1... The LSU Tigers... followed by North Carolina and Texas at #3.

Could be right...These rankings don't really mean much this early...When conference play starts we'll get a better read..

We will get our first little test on Tuesday(3-3)...Tigers coming to New Orleans to play UNO at Maestri Field...I'll be there....UNO not as strong as they were last year, but still a tough beat...

[cajun]

We have to go to South Carolina this year for 3 games...South Carolina just built a new stadium (Carolina Stadium) complete with all the whatnots...Hold about 9,000, I believe...Actually pretty nice...
