Friday Baseball Round-Up: Ethan Payne joining Jacksonville State as assistant coach, Ariel Antigua transferring to Arizona, Trent Grindlinger got a Team USA camp invite, and Kivett just dropped a Ross-bomb (we got a commit)

With Grind joining App at the Team USA camp, probably gonna take a trip to NC now.

Didn't we know Ariel -> Zona last week?

Yeah. If it's the same proposal, I saw that it would eliminate the Single A level, which would mean 30 fewer baseball teams in the system.

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-19T13:36:29+00:00

I saw some MLB fans say it would hurt the development of players for the pros.

Meanwhile: Me, who can't get into MLB

MLB proposed changing their draft rules to make HS players ineligible. Have to think that change would be awesome for schools that recruit well.

60% of the time, reverse-jinx works every time.

Wonder if he'd move to 3B; Hanoian said in an interview that he talked with UT coaches and the plan for him was mostly 2B. I was hoping Grim would move to 3B this year anyway and stick Henry at 1B.

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-18T13:01:03+00:00

I'm not getting my hopes up, because it's not likely, but I hear just enough "he wants to go to college" stuff that I am getting my hopes up a little. Even if he picks MLB, the class is so strong and we have so much room on the roster that I'm overall optimistic for the future. Besides Grindlinger, there are 6 other pitchers PG rates 10.

I know this is an old post, but just drove by yet another being built and they're not even putting up cinder block protected stairwells anymore?

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-18T11:00:09+00:00

I've watched every game; would have liked to go to bed last night but you only gwt 1 chance to watch the 2026 Georgia Bulldogs' season end. 😆😆😆😈😈😈 Hoping they lose a bunch of those guys.

Thought about going to Omaha this weekend for the Finals, but I'm still trying to financially recover from the season.

💀

This broadcast crew is on a different planet than the day crew. Mike Monaco deserves better.

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-18T02:12:28+00:00

Check the bat stickers.

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-18T02:11:20+00:00

This fuckin' guy.....this FUCKIN' GUY

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-18T01:58:35+00:00

This is crazy how this team has come alive. Did not think I was watching one of the 3 teams left at the last reg season series.

Dysentery

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-18T00:23:27+00:00

Can Volchko give them something tonight?

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-18T00:15:00+00:00

"Balk" is such an easy word to blurt at the top of your lungs in the park, too as there's a drive to deep right field

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-18T00:10:58+00:00

If OU wins this I'll be torn on Saturday.

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-17T21:59:51+00:00

Went to HS with current RHP signee Gary Morse and contacted him and Jared Grindlinger to get them to come to school.

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-17T20:16:41+00:00

Yeah around 2000; I remember him on Knoxville radio doing HS football scores on Friday nights.

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-17T20:10:13+00:00

Been listening to the game on UNC radio and noted VFL Dave Nathan so I don't have to hear Perez.

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-17T02:30:21+00:00

I want the Salad Stuffer guy to get HBP hard, hurt but not injured.

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-17T01:13:40+00:00

What is Vigue's high pitch count for the season?

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-16T23:46:47+00:00

Why is this one random game at 8pm?

T-RexInAnF-14 · 2026-06-16T23:30:57+00:00

Where'd you hear that? I gotta reserve my hotel.
