Only in small town Texas can you be sitting at DQ writing reports and the whole police force and fire truck are escorting the HS baseball busses out of town to a playoff game with sirens blaring.

My heart is heavy and eyes not dry on the news of losing Deron Rombach. We were 2 young kids starting baseball careers with Houston 30+ years ago. The stories are endless. I’m stunned and still in disbelief. God bless his beautiful family I hope they can find peace
Since it’s already out. I’m pretty fired up to have been named Scouting Director for Future Stars Series starting 12/1. Big things planned. Lots of opportunity for staff and the players. We got now, tomorrow and the future
To all the players out there in TX including the ones who reached out to me today....we as scouts will not forgot about you. We have history. You have been seen. We will have a draft at some point. You will get drafted. My army colonel dad would say “adapt and overcome”

This has to be one of the worst baseball decisions I have ever seen
@NJCAA
@NJCAARegion5
Whoever made this ruling must have never played a game and should resign immediately
Can confirm
@Heininsports
' report that Temple College will be the
@NJCAARegion5
representative in the JUCO World Series. Here's video of the incident that led to a double forfeiture between MCC & Cisco.
Sad sad day. I lost Friend, mentor, family to me, 3 time Hall of famer Gerald Turner today. I am broken in a way I’m not sure can be fixed. Baseball lights got dimmer today
I have waited a couple weeks to let the emotions of the moment pass. Some already know that the Rays parted ways with me after 16 yea. I’d still like to be part of scouting. If that doesn’t happen I’ll be looking for the next thing after 32 years in.Any ideas on that are welcome
This is the best relay I have ever witnessed in 31 years of pro ball. Only topped by Ichiro’s throw on the fly from RF fence to 3b. This one even better as I think the catchers glove was “buzzing” on the tag 🙀
RIP PK. One of the best scouts, people, friends a guy could have. Scouting world is a little darker today. You will forever my friend and teammate. Thanks for picking me up when I was down….I will never forget your kind words
I’m a hunter. Love to hunt. Will be hunting all off season. I can think of NO possible reasons...none..to hunt an elephant. There is no point. Stats say 375K left on earth. 7 million deer in Texas alone. Let’s do the right thing here
Congrats to Rays scout Tom Couston who signed
@JimThome_MLB
in the 13th round out of a JUCO in Illinois in 1989. Hall of Famer this weekend. And huge thanks from the scouting world to Jim for inviting Tom to be there. Pure class. A true HOFer. Hats off
Now that the CBA is done, “Surely” there is an org that can use a 32 year veteran scout “surely”. Getting a little bored sitting at home. If this is what retirement is I’m certainly not ready
After 32 years on the road it seems weird to me to be sitting at home and not planning D1 opening weekend. Should have 20+ juco reports written. Seems like a waste of experience. Maybe that’s only my opinion
After getting back home from roadie signing some future big leaguers. This was at my house. I can’t say thanks enough to
@RaysBaseball
@aus13tin
@OldSunDevilRay
More hard work on Austin’s end for sure. I’m thankful to be in the sidecar
As I sit here in my cozy back yard lamenting all the paperwork I had to do today I find my thoughts very insignificant and petty compared to wondering in late 60s if my dad was coming home. And now of what forsaken place my nephew is. Be thankful for those on that wall.

First live games of 2020. Galveston island. Not supposed to be 50 degrees out here. Let the grind begin. For all you road warriors staring down 40-50K miles, stay safe avoid those midnight rides till May.....
Coaching friends. Don’t miss on 2025 catcher Tate Williams from San Antonio
@tate_williams4
Brandeis HS. Call me for the scoop. Tooled up athlete. Pro guys gonna be involved here too
Congrats to Midwest Scouts Association Hall of Fame Inductees Lane Decker (2020), Larry Doughty (2021), the late Joe Ford (2021), as well as Amateur Coach of the Year Travis Lallemand from Crowder College!
@MannyActa14
In the era of this juiced ball and multiple crooked number innings you better keep scoring. Been in this 32 years now and that the dumbest unwritten rule there ever was. Let it eat. Don’t like it....make better pitches. The whiners need to find some cheese and crackers 👍👍
I can say without question that tonight’s hunt was a first. Never been in blind with hunting partner who was cross stitching a pink flamingo put it down picked up the supressed 223 and downed a 120 pig.

I am no doubt now a 20 runner but while mowing around the sunflower bed about 10 of these giant bumble 🐝 starting chasing me in my mind I was running 4.1s again down the (fence) line 🏃🏻♂️
