Ok, just got caught up. I guess if we were or frowns from Sheepville we would count that as a win and be 1 and 0 on the 2016 campaign. The fact that the varsity was able to keep the alums hitless for a long time gives me great hope. Those guys have been swinging a bat now for about 2 months to get ready for spring trainingso it's not like they just rolled out of bed.

 

[joeywa]

Thanks for joining in.  We'll be here all season-for free. 

Saw some really good things today, albeit a bit early to make any definitive thoughts.  Pitching was good.  Saw some solid Alumni bats and limited them to 3 hits.  There are a couple of players that were missing for whatever reason, that will be contributors in the regular season.  Baker and Boswell immediately come to mind.  Cantu has a cannon, and it looks to have increased in velocity since last season.  Kody Clemens looks really comfortable for a frosh from the left side of the plate. 

Anything you'd like to see done differently, let me know.  Hook Em!

The Alums only got hits from current UT roster players I believe.
