Everything’s fine here, we’re all fine here.  How are you? 

Just a little rain here 50 miles south of H town.
Fine here. Not too much in the way of severe weather since the 30-some tornadoes the night of 27-28 April.

OU, Texas, oSu, and aTm, taking advantage of playing on their home fields, advance to Super-Regionals.

LSU and Bama do likewise.

Ags are coming to Austin for the super.  Hope that homefield advantage continues to work for the Horns.

I watched a few minutes of softball yesterday, those gals are good athletes I think, some are a bit chunky.

I think that hitting is becoming more emphasized than base-running over the past decade or so. Or at least that seems to be the case with the OU teams. Maybe the young ladies are doing more work in the weight room than before.

Let's face it. Baseball players aren't exactly fit and trim. You have to be able to run 30 yards like twice an hour.

That's quite the overgeneralization.  I think most MLB players are fit and trim.  Some are not, the sport does provide for some unfit players of course as DHs usually.

A lot of them were multisport stars in HS.

I think most "regular guys" think they could play competent baseball. The issue, obviously, is that actually connecting with anything past a competent high school pitcher's offering just isn't gonna happen.

Whereas it was immediately obvious that my participation in any type of football activity is about where it should be: in the stands or in front of a TV.
I'm a (barely) 6ft tall gravity bound white guy, so basketball's out. I actually occupied the soccer field with Chad Deering (USMNT) once. While I don't recall wearing 10lbs shoes, I might as well have been. My time on hockey skates has me with the current stat line: 0G 0A 24stitches

I've played games against retired MLB players, some in their 50s.  They still have a skill level that is to me remarkable.  And these guys are in pretty good physical condition as well, though ALL the pitchers have ruined arms save one, and he can flat bring it.

We don't play against them any more, I think they have largely aged out.  But they were impressive, to me.  It is said hitting a MLB fast ball is the hardest thing in sports.

Then think about mixing in sliders and changeups and sinkers .........  

The thing about a major league fastball is that it makes pretty wicked noise going by.
