[Donald Boyles]

Time for some baseball and this weekend will be should be a some great weather for the series.

Friday's game is at 3:30.. Due to work constraints, I will not be able to attend. But, the Saturday and Sunday, I'll be in attendance.

Looking forward to seeing some of the newer faces, Kody Clemens, Chase Shugart, Nolan Kingham, Brady Harlan, Tyler Rand, Blake Wellman, Beau Ridgeway...

In Other Baseball news, Sr. Shortstop David Hamilton, hurt his shoulder playing quarterback for San Marcos High School. Report is he is out for the remainder of the football season. Hamilton will sign his LOI this November with Texas. Depending on the severity of his shoulder could also affect his draft status in June. Hamilton is regarded as the 34th best high school prospect in the nation for June of '16.

The Longhorn Coaching Staff, Namely Augie Garrido has brought in Dr. Ken Ravizza to work with the players on the mental side of the game. Garrido and Ravizza path's cross when they were both at Cal State Fullerton.

This past year Ravizza has been working with the Chicago Cubs;

To me, it's just another coach, another skill," Maddon said. "We have hitting coaches, we have pitching coaches, we have infield coaches, we have coaches for everything. The mental-skills coach really can help you develop a routine that causes you to step out of the batter's box or get off the rubber or take that little extra moment in order to recapture the thought process and slow things down."

Thanks for the scoop Don. Baseball is almost here!

If that rat bastard aggy GBT IS STILL ON THIS BOARD shitting on joeywa's game threads, then forget that left over subscription money I donated to the first ever Hornsports tailgate, for which I never received an invitation anyway !!!

 

[joeywa]

I was planning on doing a game thread for each of these, but the games are not on LHN nor will there be any radio coverage. 

Sorry guys, but we'll just have to read about it later.....unless we can get Don to get out his scorebook and pencil and get over there tomorrow and call it for us.

Don,

Pics lots and lots of pics por favor. Thanks in advance. I'll hang up and listen

 

[joeywa]

I'll try to follow along on Twitter today and see how that goes.  I'll be posting some of the tweets here.

And Don, just give all the kids an "A" and tell the parents that you'll reconvene in the winter when there's no baseball to watch.
