I hate when it's not baseball season

This has seemed like the longest offseason ever.

We are about to hit the February doldrums.

It's because we didn't make the playoffs for the first time in almost a decade.

I figured that is the case. Doesn't make it suck any less.

Astros thought the same thing up until about a year ago

I didn't think he stood a chance until about a year ago when his batted ball #s took a huge jump forward. Then he didn't show it in the bigs. Too much swing and miss in him.

Hope it works out for him but I think he's just one of those guys who can't quite make that leap

Going to need to hit a lot better than .157 to get enough chances to steal 40 bases.

The dead space after the super Bowl before the first real spring training games are the worst.

When the super bowl was earlier in the year, there used to be a time where there was nothing but hockey because that one weekend would also be the nba all-star game

In 1999 ,I covered the longest HS softball playoff game in state history, 19 innings.

The losing team's starting pitcher threw a 13-inning no hitter. They lost 1-0 on an unearned run.

Ian Browne of MLB.com

Quote:

"The way Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow was talking the other day about leaning into run prevention in light of losing Alex Bregman, I have a hard time seeing them add Surez or Paredes," Browne wrote in response to a question about picking up one of the two sluggers.

"Let's face it -- neither of those players is known for their glove. I think third base is a better fit for (Marcelo) Mayer than second, so it wouldn't surprise me to see them get a second baseman."

I'm definitely into softball. Not as much as Aggie baseball, but I've watched alot of Aggie softball the past 3-4 years.

We should have the WBC be the Dodgers vs the world. That's where we are right now with what they have been allowed to do.

Ever since my daughter started playing and I started coaching, it's really entertaining.

Oh boy, same here. I coached my daughter from age 10-18 (she's done playing now). Rec and then 4 years of select. Great times.

Same here. My daughters went crazy last season watching Aggie softball. It's a lot of fun.

We're definitely making it up to Davis for some games this year.

That's wild.

We lost a state semifinal baseball game 1-0 in 15 innings back in high school. Winning run scored on a passed ball. Gut wrenching to watch from second base.

Softball is my life now after having three daughters. I coach them all and run our local rec league. Never would have imagined that 20 years ago.

News flash: Eduardo Perez is full of it.

I love watching the infielders do their thing in softball. Crazy fast reflexes. On the other hand, I hate watching the umpiring in softball. It's maddening.
