There was an interesting article recently on the official Texas Longhorns website about Taylor Jungmann’s struggle to add weight to his delicate frame. The reasoning for him to add weight is that his motion last season put stress on his shoulder. If he was able to add weight then his shoulder would be healthier later in the year. He was able to add 15 pounds by having a diet of 5,000 calories a day and they couldn’t come from any breaded or battered food. As anyone knows, that is a tough thing to do but he was able to succeed in doing it.

Baseball America writer Jim Callis reports that the Pittsburgh Pirates and Colton Cain have agreed on a 1.125 million dollar contract bypassing his collegiate eligibility. Cain was expected to become a key contributor to the Longhorns program as he features a mid-90’s fastball and also had potential into developing into a top level first baseman. Cain’s stock dropped as he told many MLB clubs that he was set on attending college but with this substantial offer for the eighth round pick he had to sign a professional deal.
I took the day off from work to take in the Cape Cod Baseball League All-Star Game on Thursday night. The game was played at Fenway Park for the first time since the late 1980’s as the players got their chance to play at one of the better MLB parks in the country.
The game started early as the weather forecast called for heavy rains later in the night.

Yes, you read that correctly that Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle believes that Augie Garrido needs to let go by the University of Texas. His reasoning behind this ludicrous statement is the fact that Texas has not won a national championship since 2005. Justice also states that Augie can’t handle a pitching staff if he was given a compass and a map. I guess Justice needs to do his research a little bit before making this statement as Texas finished the season with the second best ERA in the nation. Nice job, Richard in doing your research. By the way, I was in the press box for the first four days of the College World Series and failed to see Justice covering the event. Read the rest of this entry »
