Well unfortunately I will not be attending any scrimmages this week. Tested positive for Covid. Hope there are some live streams available. Only one I saw of a coverage area team is Alto at San Augustine Thursday night.

Astros lose 3-1. Pretty obvious what lost the game tonight. Houston pitching gave up 3 runs which is 1.5 runs less than their team ERA coming into this game. Houston scored just 1 run on 3 hits. The one run is 3.5 runs under their season average. Offense lost this one tonight. Pitching did fine. Houston leads Arlington by 1 game.

What about the couple of series before? What IF they play like that? Houston is 16-8 in their last 24 games. 3-3 in the last two series. Currently, the Rangers are tied with the Twins and the Blue Jays for the final playoff spot. Astros have a 2 game lead on all three. IF the Astros continue to play like they have since the All Star break, they will win the division by 5+ games. Two can play this "if" game.

Not sure but I think IMG Academy has dormitories for their athletes. It's definitely not for everyone.

Curious. What do you call it?

Must see game. One that I will try to attend if possible.

Makes sense.

I'll get to see Lufkin come Thursday in their scrimmage with Huntsville. I'll be on the sidelines. Not making that awful climb up to that terrible press box. Hate that climb! Was glad to see they will be building a new press box with an elevator. Been a long time coming.

I would like to know that as well.

The only flaw I saw with this stadium was the endzone seating. It's much too far from the playing field. IMO, that seating is unnecessary. It would have been better to eliminate that seating and add to the 2nd decks on each side. But that would require moving back the press box. That was the only complaint I heard from folks who went to the stadium last season and had to sit in endzone seats. Just too far from the action.

That last sentence is a massive understatement. But we also need someone to solidify being the 4th starter in the rotation. Houston having to use 17 different starting pitchers this season kind of sums up their season.

Beau Breeden, transfer QB from Lumberton who played JV last year, has been cleared for contact after suffering an injury last season. He will play in scrimmage vs. Lumberton this Thursday.

I knew he was originally from Center. Didn't know about the SA connection. SA did get some key transfers for this season. Will be keeping an eye on those guys this year.
