Summer Baseball 2014

[Sueie]

He deserved it.

[dotnet]

The best part of this is Killian getting to work all summer with Rob Childress... who is one of the best pitching coaches in the country.  Between Childress and Jorn... that will be as good of coaching you can get for an 12 month period.

[Sueie]

Yeah. But Childress is still an AGGIE. Lol.

[dotnet]

I saw something on twitter... is Killian for sure on the team or is he just one of the many that have been invited to try out?

He has been invited to the try out, but let's be honest here, DVH is going to want one of his guys on the team this summer.

[Kevin]

i was hoping beintendi would get an invite.  especially being a draft eligible sophomore

a 275 (in the sec) hitting sophmore isn't making the team....

[Sueie]

How about a 275 hitting freshman? 
Has he ever gotten AB on the summer team he is playing on?

[Prestn]

I think 33 are on the current roster and it will be cut down to 24 June 29th or the 30th. I read they are taking 12 pitchers and 6 spots are still up for grab.

As UCA said, I would bet DVH picks him up but you never know 100%.

If he doesn't make the final roster TK is heading back to the Cape for Gatemen.

[yraciv]

I can't imagine how a conversation to cut Trey Killian from the national team would go. DVH "Trey you are my ace, you work hard, you are going to be one of my team captains this fall, but I think the Cape will serve you better this summer.  See  you in the fall!"

Yeah let's just say I don't see it going down like that.

Rob Childress thinks pretty highly of Killian also, so I would say its Killians spot to lose. 

[Prestn]

Which ball do they use on international play? College or Pro or new College?

[dotnet]

Rob Childress thinks pretty highly of Killian also, so I would say its Killians spot to lose. 

I would think so - he saw Killian be really impressive twice.

beintendi no longer on the roster

[ucahogfan]

Nathan Rodriguez is 3-10 in 3 games with 1 2B, 1 RBI, and scored a run.  He hasn't caught yet because he is on the same team as Bryce Carter and Tim Susnara who are top 85 players in the 2014 class.  Carter is a Tulsa kid heading to Stanford for college and Susnara will be spending his college career at Oregon.  Hopefully Rodriguez will get to catch, but he appears to be third on the roster right now.

[hoofer]

i was hoping beintendi would get an invite.  especially being a draft eligible sophomore

why is benitendi a draft eligible sophomore? that sucks for us.

[Kevin]

his age & birthdate.

like cox was.  stanek missed it by like 3 days

[ucahogfan]

Yep, and I think Bonfield could be a DE Sophomore as well depending on draft day.  I think his birthday is in mid July.

Matt Brown will be a DE RS Freshman next year.

[ucahogfan]

Clark Eagan got his first action since June 11 today and had his worst game of the summer.  He still had a multi-hit game as he went 2-6 and scored his first run of the summer.  Good to see him back in action.

[JonClaudeVanHam]

What is up with Benintendi?

glad he is back in action

[accdnhog]

What is up with Benintendi?

Does anyone know what he was told before leaving for the summer?

[Sueie]

Does anyone know what he was told before leaving for the summer?

No. Except probably him and the person who told him.

[Sueie]

What is up with Benintendi?

Since we did not send anyone else to the Cape. He should have went up there.  Does anyone know why Posche did not go there?

[Kevin]

Dvh said last PC, that there was a problem.  That is all he said about poche not going to the cape

[Prestn]

Killian is scheduled to start for Team USA Wednesday.

[Sueie]

Are any of those games on television?

[accdnhog]

Dvh said last PC, that there was a problem.  That is all he said about poche not going to the cape

Poche had Tommy John.

[dotnet]

Poche had Tommy John.

That sucks.  So that means a redshirt next year and then he'll pitch in 2016?

[jbell96]

Poche needing Tommy John explains a lot of his struggles this past year. Hope he recovers nicely & can contribute once he's healthy again.

[Brewerfan10]

Makes getting McKinney to campus that much bigger.

[accdnhog]

I would not hold my breath. The road from Flower Mound back to Fayetteville may well be difficult to travel.

[rolyat_2008]

sounds like Geoffrey Davenport 2.0

[Sueie]

I would not hold my breath. The road from Flower Mound back to Fayetteville may well be difficult to travel.

You could possibly be correct on that statement.  Does he take a redshirt year and enter the draft next spring?  Does he take a redshirt year and transfer to another D-1 school?

[AirForceHog]

Killian is scheduled to start for Team USA Wednesday.

This game is not more than 30 miles from my house. I am a night shift worker and can't get off. It is killing me.

All I seen is a play by play on the usabaseball.com website.

And @RazorbackBSB RHP Trey Killian strikes out the side for the second time tonight! His final line: 3.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 7 K

Good to see team USA can at least get him run support.  Trey was probably in shock after a 3 run first inning.

[ucahogfan]

Rapids Rafters @RapidsRafters     ·   7h   

Zach Jackson is either dreaming about striking out 10 bullfrogs or about an ice cream sundae



It must have been an ice cream sundae as Jackson didn't exactly have a great outing tonight departing after only 1 IP.  Looks like he might be struggling a little adjusting to being a starter.

[ucahogfan]

Rapids Rafters @RapidsRafters     ·   22m   

Clark Eagan, just a humble kid from Appleton but a hero to many, ties this one up with a two RBI triple. 3-3 game

[Waldron_Hog]

Damn, Eagan is raking.

[ucahogfan]

Rapids Rafters @RapidsRafters     ·   48m   

That Eagan fella does it again, an RBI single scores Zack 'Z-Do' Domingues. Rafters lead 4-3

[ucahogfan]

Oaks Baseball @Conejo_Oaks     ·   2h   

A triple by Rick Nomura ties the Oaks and Catch 2-2 after 4.5 innings of play.

Oaks Baseball @Conejo_Oaks     ·   3h   

Top 1st: Nomura singles, gets picked off trying to steal 2nd. Ramer flies out. Garelick flies out.

PUF Capitalists @pufcaps     ·   Jun 23   

Caps 4 game win streak ends w/ 8-6 loss to WC Crawdads. Hart (USC) w/ a very good outing. Gray (Rice) & Rodriguez (Arkansas) 2 hits each.

[ucahogfan]

Oaks Baseball @Conejo_Oaks     ·   1h   

Jefferson singles, advances to 2nd on a dropped ball. Huntley scores on a wild pitch. Nomura singles, Jefferson scores. Oaks lead 2-0!

Meanwhile, Clark Eagan is 2-3 right now in the top of the 6th of his current game.  He was hitting .440 (11-25) entering tonight's action.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

Eagan's making a statement!

[ucahogfan]

Clark Eagan continues his campaign for hottest hitter in the Northwoods League as he was hitting .448 (13-29) entering tonight's action and is 2-3 right now with a 2B and 2 RBIs.

[ucahogfan]

Quick California League Update:

Dominic Taccolini - 1-1, 1.84 ERA, 14.2 IP, 10 K, 10 H, 4 BB

Big Taco's team is currently 17-4 for the summer so it would appear he is on a very good team.

Rick Nomura - .337 (30-89), 3 2B, 3 3B, 11 R, 9 RBIs, 8 BB, 14 K, 6-11 SB

Nathan Rodriguez - .343 (12-35), 3 2B, 3 R, 9 RBIs, 2 BB, 5 K, 0-1 SB

Matt Brown - .130 (3-23), 2 2B, 1 R, 3 RBIs, 2 BB, 9 K

Andrew Kelley - 1-1, 3.26 ERA, 15.1 IP, 6 K, 16 H, 9 BB

I really like how well both Nomura and Rodriguez are doing because they are coming in to positions that don't have returning starters and could start right away.  Hopefully they both keep it up.

[yraciv]

Matt Brown, ouch! I thought some people said this guy could hit blindfolded.

[dotnet]

With how important tacolini, Eagan and Rodriguez are to the team next year... This is really good to see. He's a catcher who is hitting better than nomura and a few years younger.
