The past 2 years we’ve had 2 $EC teams come after Coach Woodard and he’s turned them down to stay here. LSU last year and Texas A&M this year.

I’m glad we continue to invest in baseball and continue to get closer to Omaha.

Definitely a lot of scrutiny in the SEC and leashes are short and tight.
I think the creative freedom for Woodard is awesome and going to be tough to beat!
Program on the rise for sure!

Plus it’s hot as hell here. 104 yesterday, just miserable.

I love NC.
Lived in Durham, NC for 3 years working at DUMC.
Miss the tall trees!!! and Wrightsville Beach!

(don’t miss the BBQ though…vinegar based…just plain nasty y’all! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)

13 posts were split to a new topic: BBQ debate

What do you mean? They were the other option…

Can we take this topic to some barbecue-specific thread? You know, the ones that go on ad nauseum about whose barbecue is best? … instead of hijacking the one that was supposed to be about baseball?

redeeming my BBQ hijack.

3IP 2H 7SO 0BB 0R today for Christian in the Texas Collegiate League.
I can upload some video (90 sec), if interested. Has a sweet, but stupid, barehand play.
Unfortunately, I didn’t film the first inning.
Don’t want to spam.

His team Lonestar Baseball is heading to the National Baseball Congress World Series in Kansas in August. I think streaming is available.

Gotta love the reaction time but that barehand at 22 seconds was scary.
I was enjoying watching the 1st inning and 3Ks and forgot to film.
HOT as hell in Texas and I was hiding under a broken umbrella for all the shade I could get.

Mound was practically concrete so he said this was 80% he was too worried about stability. Couldn’t go after it without slipping.

The World Series mounds in Henderson and Wichita State are better. Can’t wait to see him unleash. Slider was sick today. Love it when they move out of the way and it’s a strike.

Looks like a strong addition to the staff! That wicked slider did have them bailing. Thanks for sharing!

That stinks, for the team.

Well that sucks :angry:
Was looking forward to him and Hansen dominating this coming season.

Brandon Stahlman is now playing up in the Cape. Batting .417 over 3 games, and now has 2 scoreless innings on the mound under his belt!!
