Comical alumni note

If you follow my Twitter feed, you've seen some news about Brandon Belt's activities in the Giants' minor league system over the last couple of months. His current team (Fresno Grizzlies, AAA) has its own Twitter feed. Today, they tweeted a link to game notes for tonight's game (warning, that's a link to a PDF file). Glancing through the file, I was happy to see that another Texas alum is pitching for the team. Geno Espinelli (he went by Eugene here; he also transferred to TCU after playing at UT for a couple of years) is 5-4 on the season with a 3.18 ERA. Not bad.

But, what made me stop and post was the "Hitter Note" about Brandon Belt. It says he was drafted out of Missouri. Missouri? I don't think so. It made me laugh.

Alumni News: Brandon Belt

Brandon Belt made his AAA debut with the Fresno Grizzlies last night and went 1-for-3 with a homerun, 3 runs scored, a stolen base, 1 rbi (see the homerun), and 2 walks. Pretty cool, eh? Read a really nice blog post (plus see some photos and a couple of videos) at the 22gigantes blog. Too bad it was all in a losing effort.

By the way, he was sporting the high-sock look. Still love me some high socks!

And, just for fun, a link to the official box for the game.

MLB Draft - Final (?) Update

The MLB Draft signing deadline passed about an hour ago. When all was said and done, Chance Ruffin and Brandon Workman signed (Ruffin with the Tigers for $1.15M and Workman with the Red Sox for $800K). Cole Green and Tant Shepherd did not sign with their clubs so will be back on campus for the 2011 campaign. I wish the best to Ruffin and Workman and am very excited at the idea of getting to watch Green and Shepherd for another season.

Check out my 2010 MLB Draft Summary page for info on other players of interest. Of interest to me, at any rate...if not to you!

Also, see a nice blog post by Alan Trubow regarding Green and Shepherd. 'Like the quote at the end from Green.

And, now it's time to start thinking about Fall Ball. We've got games against Texas State and Vanderbilt scheduled for the 2nd and 3rd weekends in October.

Hook 'em!

Cole Green...staying or leaving?

Here's the latest from Alan Trubow regarding that question. Cole Green says he will sign if the Tigers come up with the signing bonus he and his parents set; if they don't, he'll return to Texas for his senior year.

As an aside, the article also says that Kevin Keyes (contrary to what's been posted to Twitter) has not yet signed.

Quick update (a few minutes later): it's official, according to the Nationals' transaction page as of yesterday, Kevin Keyes will not be coming back to Texas for his senior season. And, now this post is more about Keyes than Green. How did that happen?

Another quick update. The article was changed to reflect the fact that Keyes has signed so that earlier bit now makes no sense. Yay!

Just in case you missed the news, Drew Stubbs hit 3 homers today in a 14-3 win by the Reds over the Cubs. Entertainingly, just yesterday, an article on cincinnati.com reported on Stubbs' recent struggles at the plate.

Go, Drew!

MLB Draft signing news

I decided to collect all the news of UT signings in this one post. You can check it periodically for updates since this is where I'll collect all the info as it comes in (most recent news at the top of the list):

• Chance Ruffin signed with the Tigers (Detroit News story)
• Brandon Workman signed with the Red Sox (boston.com story)
• Kevin Keyes signed with the Nationals (seen on July 5th on Twitter, and then on the Nationals' transactions page)
• Russell Moldenhauer signed with the Nationals (seen on June 24th on Nationals' transactions page)
• Cameron Rupp signed with the Phillies (seen on Twitter on June 21st; News8 story; Statesman blog post)
• Connor Rowe signed with the Nationals (reported on June 20th, KEYE story)
• Mike Foltynewicz (Texas signee from Illinois) signed with the Astros (reported on June 19th, mlb.com story)
• Kyle Lusson (who was not drafted) signed with the Rays (seen on Twitter on June 16th)

And, I'm still updating my MBL Draft Summary page as I come across info on signings if you're interested in news on selected non-UT players.

MLB Draft Update

As predicted, Mike Foltynewicz (Texas signee from Illinois) will not play at Texas next year. He officially signed with the Astros today and reports to his new Rookie team in Tennessee tomorrow. Lots of info available in this mlb.com story by Steve Gartner.

No news on other Texas players or signees as of yet. I have been updating my MBL Draft Summary page as I get info on signings. Things are happening fast and furious for other non-Texas players. So, check it out.

UPDATE. That thing about not having news about Texas players isn't quite true. While there's no news about players selected in the draft, there is news. Kyle Lusson (who went undrafted) signed with Tampa Bay a few days ago. Cool.

UPDATE #2 (June 20): Connor Rowe signed and will not be coming back for his senior year. See an interview on KEYE regarding his decision. (H/T: Donald Boyles)

Game 63: Texas at TCU (Austin Super Regional)

Yep...it's another quick iPhone post. More when I get home to my computer.

TCU again played home team to Texas in Game 3 of the Austin Super Regional. Texas, alas, could not get much of anything going offensively today and ended up losing 1-4. That's the end of the 2010 season for Texas.

Texas lost only two 3-game series this year...the opening one against UNM and this last one in the Super Regional. That somehow makes it sadder for me. TCU played awfully well...particularly on the mound. So, no knock on them.

More when I get home...

UPDATE. I'm back. And, still sad. I'll post some thoughts about the end of the season soon. But, before I get to that, I have one more game report to post. So, here goes. First, the line...

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Texas	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	1	1	7	1
TCU	0	0	0	0	1	0	2	1	-	4	7	2

And, here's how things played out...

• 1st inning, Texas
• Kyle Winkler (rhp) on the mound for TCU.
• Cohl Walla (lf) drew a 5-pitch walk.
• Brandon Loy (ss) moved Walla to 2b on a sac bunt to 1b (unassisted). He bunted the ball down the 1b line. It was fielded by the first baseman who fielded and tagged Loy out.
• Tant Shepherd drew a full-count walk.
• Which prompted a visit to the mound for TCU.
• Russell Moldenhauer (dh) grounded out to 1b (unassisted), moving Walla to 3b and Shepherd to 2b. The first baseman made a great play to field the ball headed down the line for a likely double. He saved at least one run if not two with that play.
• Cameron Rupp (c) struck out looking (1-2 count).
• 1st inning, TCU
• Brandon Workman (rhp) on the mound for Texas.
• Jerome Pena (2b) flew out to lf at the warning track.
• Bryan Holaday lined a single into lf.
• Matt Curry struck out swinging.
• Joe Weik (dh) also struck out swinging.
• 2nd inning, Texas
• Kevin Keyes (rf) lined out to rf...almost right at the right fielder.
• Kevin Lusson (3b) lined a double down the rf line to the wall.
• Jordan Etier (2b) flew out to rf. Lusson tagged up and advanced to 3b on the play.
• Connor Rowe (cf) flew out to rf. Anther batter left in scoring position.
• 2nd inning, TCU
• Jantzen Witte (3b) popped out to 2b.
• Taylor Featherston (ss) grounded out to 3b. Nice play by Lusson to field the ball and then nice scoop by Shepherd at the end of the play.
• Jason Coats lined out to 2b...nice leap by Etier!
• 3rd inning, Texas
• Walla popped out to 1b (foul, in front of the 1b dugout).
• Loy struck out swinging (2-2 count).
• Shepherd reached on a bloop single to the lf/cf gap.
• Moldenhauer flew out to lf (again toward the lf/cf gap).
• 3rd inning, TCU
• Aaron Schultz (cf) flew out to rf.
• Brance Rivera (rf) lined out to cf.
• Pena grounded out to 2b.
• 4th inning, Texas
• Rupp flew out to rf.
• Keyes singled up the middle.
• Lusson drew a full-count walk, moving Keyes to 2b.
• Etier flew out to lf just shy of the warning track. Keyes tagged up and advanced to 3b on the play.
• Rowe struck out swinging (1-2 count).
• 4th inning, TCU
• Holaday popped out to shallow lf.
• Curry grounded out to 1b (3-1, p covered bag).
• Weik lined a single up the middle.
• Witte struck out swinging. Rupp couldn't hang onto the ball so had to throw down to 1b to complete the out.
• 5th inning, Texas
• Walla lined out to rf. Nice running catch to his left by the right fielder.
• Loy popped out to 1b in front of the mound. All of the infield gathered at the mound on the pop-up and the first baseman made the nice play.
• Shepherd reached on a throwing error by ss. I'd been waiting all series for him to make a throwing error. A lot of his throws to 1b were high all weekend long. Finally, one of them was way too high. Shepherd moved to 2b on the error when the ball went out of play.
• Moldenhauer struck out looking (2-2 count).
• 5th inning, TCU
• Featherston lined a double into the cf/rf gap. Keyes threw the ball in quickly, hoping to gun the runner down at 2b. It would've been a close play if the throw was on target but it was off-line...toward the 1b side. Neither the pitcher nor the catcher were lined up with the throw and the ball got all the way to the backstop allowing Featherston to reach 3b. E9. Sigh.
• Skip Johnson made a visit to the mound.
• Coats singled through the right side, scoring Featherston.
• Schultz moved Coats to 2b on a 1-3 sac bunt.
• River grounded out to the pitcher. Workman did a great job to look the runner back at 2b before throwing the batter out at 1b.
• Pena struck out swinging. The ball got past Rupp and went all the way to the backstop. He did a great job to go get it and throw the batter out at 1b.
• Texas down 0-1.
• 6th inning, Texas
• Rupp struck out swinging.
• Keyes grounded out to 3b.
• Lusson flew out to cf.
• Texas down 0-1.
• 6th inning, TCU
• Texas sent Chance Ruffin (rhp) to the mound, replacing Workman.
• Holaday popped out to lf in shallow lf.
• Curry popped out to ss in shallow lf.
• Weik popped out to 1b foul (near the camera well down the 1b line).
• Texas down 0-1.
• 7th inning, Texas
• Etier struck out swinging (0-2 count).
• Rowe grounded out to ss. Another high throw but the first baseman, as he's done on most of the high throws from Featherston, came down on the bag after having to jump up to catch the ball.
• Walla singled up the middle.
• Shepherd hit into a 4-6 fielder's choice.
• Texas down 0-1.
• 7th inning, TCU
• Witte popped out to rf in shallow rf.
• Featherston drew a full-count 8-pitch walk.
• Coats struck out swinging.
• Schultz (0-for-5 with a sac fly and 2 sac bunts in the Super Regional to this point) hit a homerun that went waaaaay over the lf fence. The crowd was furious with the home plate ump. The pitch sequence prior to the hr ball: strike (looking), strike (looking), ball, ball (that pretty much everyone thought should have been strike 3), foul ball...and then the homerun.
• Rivera flew out to rf.
• Texas down 0-3.
• 8th inning, Texas
• Shepherd flew out to cf. The center fielder (who'd just hit the homerun) made a fantastic over-the-shoulder catch in the deepest part of the field in the cf/rf gap as he was running hard toward the wall. Wow. Suppose he was a little pumped?
• Moldenhauer reached on an infield single up the middle...first hit of the Super Regional for Muldenhauer. Really nice hustle by Moldenhauer to beat out the throw.
• Texas sent Sam Stafford in to pinch-run for Moldenhauer.
• Rupp lined out right to cf.
• TCU sent Tyler Lockwood (rhp) to the mound, replacing Winkler.
• Keyes grounded into a 5-4 fielder's choice.
• Texas down 1-3.
• 8th inning, TCU
• Pena grounded out to the pitcher.
• Holaday hit another bomb for TCU to lf...this one over the lf bullpen.
• Curry singled up the middle.
• Weik lined out to cf.
• After the first pitch to Witte (a ball), Skip Johnson made a visit to the mound.
• Witte popped out to ss at 2b.
• 9th inning, Texas
• Lusson grounded out to 2b.
• Paul Montalbano (lefty, pinch-hitting for Etier) lined a single into cf.
• Jonathan Walsh (switch-hitter hitting from the left, pinch-hitting for Rowe) popped out to cf in shallow cf.
• Walla reached on a throwing error by 2b...who threw wide of the bag. Montalbano scored and Walla moved up to 2b.
• Which prompted a visit to the mound for TCU.
• Jordan Weymouth (lefty, pinch-hitting for Loy) grounded out to 2b to end the game.
• Texas loses 1-4.

It looked like Winkler was a bit nervous at the start of the game. If that hard grounder by Moldenhauer had gotten through and down the line in the first inning, I think things would've totally turned around. At least one run would've scored and Texas would've had runners at 2b and 3b (if not two runs in and a runner at 2b) with 1 out. But, it didn't get through. The first baseman made a great play. And, Winkler settled down and that was pretty much the game after that point. And, as in Friday's game, the Horns were 0-fer in chances with runners in scoring position. There weren't many of those chances but they few they had were not seized.

It was a good season. It just didn't end well. More later.

Hook 'em!

Game 62: Texas at TCU (Austin Super Regional)

Another quick iPhone post. More when I get home to my computer.

Texas played visitor (TCU played home) in Game 2 of the Austin Super Regional and won 14-1! Taylor Jungmann pitched into the 9th...really nice game for him. More in a couple of hours...

UPDATE. Or more than a couple of hours. This took longer than I expected. I kept getting side-tracked watching other games. Anyway, I'm back and have lots to report. Whew. One thing to note before I get started, the Horns had Cohl Walla in cf and Jonathan Walsh in lf to start today.

First, as usual, the line...

Team	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Texas	0	0	4	1	7	0	0	0	2	14	14	0
TCU	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	1	0	1	6	3

And, here's how things played out...

• 1st inning, Texas
• Steven Maxwell (rhp) on the mound for the Horned Frogs. He had 20+ scoreless innings going into today's game.
• Cohl Walla (cf) grounded out to ss. He had a foul ball early (2nd pitch) that went a long way down the lf line...but foul.
• Brandon Loy (ss) popped out to rf down the line.
• Tant Shepherd (1b) lined a single into 1b. Mysteriously, the center fielder threw the ball back in to 1b...and a bit off-line. The catcher backed up the throw, though, so Shepherd could not advance to 2b.
• Russell Moldenhauer (dh) grounded out to 2b.
• 1st inning, TCU
• Taylor Jungmann (rhp) on the mound for Texas.
• Taylor Featherston (ss) grounded out to the pitcher...a full-swing hit that rolled slowly down the 1b line.
• Bryan Holaday (c) lined a double down the lf line into the corner. Walsh dove and made a play at the ball but missed the ball. It would've been 2 bases even if he'd stayed on his feet.
• Jason Coats (lf) struck out swinging. Rupp couldn't hang onto the ball so had to throw down to 1b to complete the out. Holaday advanced to 3b on the play (wild pitch). Rupp did look down to 3b before throwing to 1b but decided against pushing things and went for the sure out.
• Matt Curry (1b) grounded out to the pitcher.
• 2nd inning, Texas
• Cameron Rupp (c) grounded out to 2b.
• Kevin Keyes (rf) lined a single into rf.
• Kevin Lusson (3b) singled through the right side, moving Keyes to 2b.
• Jonathan Walsh (lf) struck out looking (full count, 8 pitches).
• Jordan Etier (2b) flew out to rf.
• 2nd inning, TCU
• Josh Elander (dh) struck out swinging.
• Jantzen Witte (3b) singled into the cf/rf gap.
• With Aaron Schultz (cf) at the plate, Witte was caught stealing (2-6) on the 2nd pitch.
• Schultz struck out swinging. Rupp couldn't hold onto the ball so had to throw down to 1b to complete the out.
• 3rd inning, Texas
• Walla flew out to cf.
• Loy drew a 5-pitch walk.
• Shepherd drew a full-count walk, moving Loy to 2b.
• Moldenhauer was hit by a pitch to . 'Looked like maybe it just grazed his sleeve.
• Rupp lined out to 2b. Shepherd just barely beat the ss back to the bag as the second baseman tossed the ball to the ss.
• Keyes reached on a throwing error by 3b. He hit a dribbler down the 3b line. The third baseman charged and threw wide of the bag. Loy and Shepherd scored. Moldenhauer moved up to 3b and Keyes advanced to 2b. TCU tried to argue that Keyes interfered with the throw from 3b but the first baseman was lunging across the running lane to catch the errant throw from 3b and it looked to me like Keyes was just trying to stay upright and avoid a worse collision with the first baseman than they had.
• Lusson lined a double into right-center, clearing the bases! That's only the 2nd extra-base hit for the Horns this series (Keyes hit that homerun yesterday).
• Jonathan Walsh struck out swinging (2-2 count).
• 4 unearned runs.
• Texas up 4-0.
• 3rd inning, TCU
• Quote from Augie Garrido in the post-game press conference (not verbatim...but pretty close): "The best thing that can happen to a pitcher's curve ball is a 4- or 5-run lead." I've heard him say this sort of thing before, by the way.
• Jerome Pena (2b) grounded out on a slow roller to 2b.
• Brance Rivera (rf) struck out swinging. Rivera tried to check his swing but was wrung up by the 1b ump.
• Featherston flew out to rf.
• Texas up 4-0.
• 4th inning, Texas
• Etier grounded out to ss. The throw was a bit high and pulled the first baseman off the bag but it looked like he just managed to get back down before Etier crossed the bag.
• Walla also grounded out to ss. A nice play by the shortstop who was ranging behind 2b when he snagged the ball. Better throw this time too.
• Loy drew a 5-pitch walk.
• TCU sent Trent Appleby (rhp) to the mound, replacing Maxwell.
• Before even throwing a pitch to Shepherd, Appleby made a toss over to 1b to check the runner. Alas, the throw was a bit high and skipped off the first baseman's glove, allowing Loy to move up to 2b. E3...on the lack of effort to stop the ball.
• Shepherd lined a single into right-center, scoring Loy.
• Moldenhauer struck out looking (full-count, 7 pitches).
• Texas up 5-0.
• 4th inning, TCU
• Holaday popped out to 2b in shallow rf.
• Coats struck out swinging. Rupp couldn't hang onto the ball so had to throw down to 1b to complete the out.
• Curry flew out to cf.
• Texas up 5-0.
• 5th inning, Texas
• Wherein Texas sends 10 batters to the plate.
• Rupp lined a lovely single up the middle into cf. First pitch!
• With Keyes at the plate, Rupp advanced to 2b on a wild pitch.
• Keyes lined a double into the lf/cf gap, scoring Rupp. Keyes just beat the throw in from cf. Nice.
• Lusson singled through the right side, moving Keyes to 3b.
• Which prompted a visit to the mound for TCU.
• Walsh popped out to ss in shallow cf.
• Etier went for the squeeze play...bunt down 1b line. The pitcher fielded but the first baseman, backing up after initially making a move toward the ball was not able to find and get his foot on the bag when he took the throw from the pitcher (E3). Wow. Bases loaded.
• Walla tripled to the the lf/cf gap, clearing the bases!!!
• Loy singled through the left side past a diving ss, scoring Walla.
• Shepherd homered over the lf bullpen!!
• Moldenhauer flew out to lf at the warning track in front of the scoreboard.
• Rupp grounded out to 2b.
• Whew.
• Texas up 12-0.
• 5th inning, TCU
• Texas moved Cohl Walla to lf and sent Connor Rowe in to cf (replacing Walsh in the lineup).
• Elander grounded out to 2b. Nice dig by Shepherd at 1b on low throw.
• Witte lined a double into the cf/rf gap.
• Schultz struck out swinging. Rupp couldn't hang onto the ball so had to throw down to 1b to complete the out.
• Pena lined out to cf. Fantastic running catch by new center fielder Connor Rowe who ran hard to his right before diving for the ball!
• Texas up 12-0.
• 6th inning, Texas
• Greg Holle (rhp) went to the mound, replacing Appleby.
• Kevin Keyes flew out to rf.
• Kevin Lusson flew out to cf.
• Connor rowe struck out swinging (2-2 count, 6 pitches). He tried to check his swing but was unsuccessful.
• Texas up 12-0.
• 6th inning, TCU
• Kyle Von Tungeln (pinch-hitting for Rivera) struck out swinging.
• Featherston grounded out to 1b (p covered the bag).
• Holaday was hit by a pitch. It must've grazed his jersey.
• Zac Jordan (pinch-hitting for Coats) grounded out to the pitcher. Nice play by Jungmann who jumped off the mound and fielded the high-bouncer headed down the 3b line barehanded and then made a perfect throw to 1b.
• Texas up 12-0.
• 7th inning, Texas
• Schultz moved from cf to rf. Jordan stayed in the game in lf and Von Tungeln stayed in the game in cf.
• Etier flew out to rf just shy of the warning track down the line (full count, 10 pitches...wow).
• Walla grounded out to ss.
• Loy struck out looking.
• Texas up 12-0.
• 7th inning, TCU
• Curry grounded out to 2b.
• Elander struck out looking.
• Witte struck out swinging.
• 8 pitches.
• Texas up 12-0.
• 8th inning, Texas
• TCU sent Davy Wright in at 2b, replacing Pena.
• Shepherd lined a single into lf.
• Moldenhauer grounded into a 4-6-3 double play. Shucks.
• Rupp grounded out to 3b.
• Texas up 12-0.
• 8th inning, TCU
• Jimmie Pharr (pinch-hitting for Schultz) grounded out to 2b.
• Wright grounded out to 1b (unassisted).
• Von Tungeln lined a triple into the cf/rf gap.
• Fetherston lined a single into rf, scoring Von Tungeln. And, there went the shut-out.
• With Holaday at the plate, Featherstpn stole 2b as the count went full on a strike. It was essentially defensive indifference as Rupp just tossed the ball back to Jungmann without making any move at all to 2b...but I'm guessing they gave him a stolen base. Maybe not.
• Holaday drew a full-count walk.
• Jordan flew out to rf...at the line. Nice play by Keyes.
• Texas up 12-1.
• 9th inning, Texas
• Pharr stayed in the game for TCU, going in at lf and Jordan moved over to rf.
• Keyes drew a 5-pitch walk.
• Texas sent Kyle Lusson in to pinch-run for Keyes.
• Kevin Lusson hit a double to the wall in lf. The left fielder kept chasing after a ball that just kept carrying and ended up crashing into the wall as he tracked the ball. He was unable to hold onto it. Kyle Lusson scored on the play.
• Rowe flew out to cf.
• With Etier at the plate, Kevin Lusson advanced to 3b on a wild pitch.
• Etier lined a single into rf, scoring Kevin Lusson.
• Walla struck out looking (1-2 count).
• Loy drew a full-count walk (10 pitches), moving Etier to 2b.
• Shepherd popped out to rf.
• Texas up 14-1.
• 9th inning, TCU
• Kyle Lusson stayed in the game in rf.
• Relly Mercurio (pinch-hitting for Curry) grounded out to ss.
• Elander drew a 5-pitch walk.
• Witte singled off Jungmann and into shallow lf, moving Elander to 2b. It looked like the ball went off Jungmann's hip or thigh and then ricocheted into lf.
• Texas sent Kendal Carrillo (rhp) to the mound, replacing Jungmann (who got a curtain call from the crowd).
• Pharr flew out to cf.
• Wright grounded out to 3b.
• 5 pitches for Carrillo. Nice.
• Texas wins 14-1.

By my count, Jungmann threw 121 pitches (75 strikes) in 8.1 innings. He faced 33 batters, threw 1 wild pitch, hit a batter, walked 2, struck out 9 (!), gave up 6 hits, and allowed an earned run. Very purty.

Offensive numbers, going down the line:

• Walla: 1-for-6 with a 3-run triple, a run scored, 1 strikeout
• Loy: 1-for-3 with an rbi single, 3 runs scored, 4 walks, 1 strikeout
• Shepherd: 4-for-5 with a homerun and 3 singles, 3 runs batted in, 2 runs scored, 1 walk
• Moldenhauer: 0-for-4 with a run scored (after reaching on an hbp), 1 strikeout
• Rupp: 1-for-5 with a run scored
• Keyes: 2-for-4 with an rbi double, 2 runs scored
• Kyle Lusson: 1 run scored (pinch runner, no plate appearances)
• Kevin Lusson: 4-for-5 with 2 doubles, 2 runs scored, 3 runs batted in
• Walsh: 0-for-3 with 2 strikeouts
• Rowe: 0-for-2 with 1 strikeout
• Etier: 1-for-5 with 1 runs scored, 1 run batted in

'Have to say that today's game was so much better than yesterday's game. Here's hoping for another good one tomorrow!

In the post-game press conference, Coach Garrido said Brandon Workman will start tomorrow and Chance Ruffin will obviously be available for long relief. And, as I posted earlier, TCU will be the home team in Game 3 (Texas lost the toss).

Hook 'em!
