There were lots of bubbles.

Is that like a football scrimmage report where's there were a lot of touchdowns and therefore i should be worried about or defense aka pitching??????????

(This is all from memory, so others that were there feel free to correct)

- Teams were split with the starting OF (White) and starting IF (Maroon). Justin Lamkin started for the White team and Weston Moss starter for the Maroon team.

- Lamkin looked pretty good in his 3 (I think) innings. Gave up a few hits but not a lot of hard contact. The only run he gave up was a solo shot by Binderup that was heavily wind-aided.

- I thought Weston Moss flashed some good things. Touched 94-96 on the fb and had a secondary pitch that was missing bats. I think he ended up surrendering 7 runs, but there were several that came from a string of bloop singles that should have been caught. You could tell he was tired towards the end of his outing, and that led to some harder contact.

- Caden Sorrell is dealing with a hamstring injury so he only DH'd for the White team. He still crushed one over Sections 12 and added an RBI double later.

- Kiel really impressed me with his bat and defense. Destroyed a ball for an RBI double and made a great throw in from RF to keep a runner at 3rd. He will push for a role on this team.

- Wyatt Henseler hit a two run HR that got out in a hurry. His walk up song today was the Home Depot theme song and I really hope that sticks because it's hilarious.

- The most criminally underrated aspect of Jace's game continues to be his speed. He legged out a triple to the LCF gap to put that on full display.

- Marco Jones (football signee) played the whole game in Lf for the Maroon team. Dude is a physical freak and you can tell he has a ton of raw power. His defense was an adventure, but he had a pair of singles including one that was scorched.

- Gavin Lyons had a rough beginning to his outing with three walks and an error trying to pick off at second base. His second inning was much better, got Sorrell and Jace to weakly pop out.

I'll echo everything Detective Jake said. Lyons isn't going to blow anybody away but he missed bats. Cunningham pitches off the breaking ball which is weird for a guy his size. His fastball was 84-88 but he's straight over the top so his breaking ball is a 12-6. If Peyton Smith ever reins it in he could be nasty. He just has so much going on with his delivery idk that he ever will. Ty Baker was filthy. Mid to upper 90s fastball with a breaking ball that was anywhere from 82-87. Idk that he'll fill a Cortez roll but maybe he can do what Moss did last year if Moss ends up our Tuesday starter.

Kiel is a spark plug. He's going to play for us, I just don't know where. Binderup's HR was definitely helped by the wind, but it was probably the highest ball I've ever seen hit in my life. A few millimeters lower on the barrel and he's peppering the rec. Schott can still hit, but he can't run to save his life. Had a brace on his knee under his pants and just doesn't move well at all. Marco Jones is a big dude. Idk if he'll do anything for us this year other than maybe get some ABs here and there because he doesn't look comfortable in the OF.

I was there for first 6 innings.

Lamkin dealt well. Worked around around traffic (including 2 hits by Schott). Binderup HR impressed me because it came off Lamkin.

Kiel was the eye opener for me. He is ELECTRIC. That kid has GOT to play or at least platoon.

Sorrell crushed a HR and double. Didn't run because of hammy.

Moss gave up a big 3rd inning w 2 outs when OF let him down by letting a pair of pop ups drop due to bad communication

I thought Bergevin looked good at 1B and at plate.

Of the big departing pieces from 2024, the key questions for me are who replaces the greatest reliever in A&M history (Aschenbeck), Cortez, and Appel behind the dish.

Scrimmage wasn't going to answer those questions.

We are loaded in OF and IF.

Sounds like we have started the season 1-1. The calls to fire Earley will be coming soon.

The best part of the day for me was seeing the student section go nuts when Taylor's 3 went in about two seconds before Sorrell's bomb over section 12. Perfect timing
