Open tryouts for infield positions???

[shockandawe08]

Did anyone else hear Kemnitz on Talk Radio For Guys today? Did I really hear him say that they would be holding open tryouts for infield positions? He said he was NOT joking!

Edit: I know this is not unheard of in sports, but when's the last time WSU has tried it? Just curious.

[rrshock]

Don't they kind of have tryouts every year? At least they did when I was in school there.

[shock10]

I think they have them every year that's where they found Noah Booth, Braden Looper and I'm sure more.

Open tryouts, I'm so there. They'll be asking, "check that glove for glue".

[wushock]

They are invited prospects whom are now in junior college or have signed with junior colleges. Like you said they got Looper, Booth and others out of this camp

So, this is something that the baseball program at least occasionally does. I did not know that. I thought when Brent felt the need to explain that he wasn't joking, that this was somehow an unorthodox situation. I had visions of Dennis Quaid's character in "The Rookie," showing up for tryouts with his children in tow. :lol: Thanks for clearing that up, guys.

Wonder if Jason Duda will show?

Good heavens, our baseball counterpart of Tyrone Shoelace and his crossover dribble. Who'd have guessed?

Wouldn't surprise me a bit. I know that every time I read your posts I think "Is he sniffing glue?", so why should it be any different on the diamond? :D

You just wait and see. It will be totally just desserts when you guys who hate me will be cheering for me when I take the field next season.

Oh man I don't know if I could handle a player with an attitude like yourself taking the field. You'd give up in the first inning if we happened to get down by 2. lol.

But how will we know it's you? Everyone will claim to be you. Tyler Grimes will claim to be KC Shox. Jordan Cooper will claim to be KC Shox. ETC. You're just too cool for your own good. We'll never know the real KC Shox. :cry:

Are you kidding... Those kids are competitors not quit... errr realists. You would know KC as he will have thrown in the towel, as its his duty being a realist, the first second we are behind in a game. Because lets face it we are young or not from the big 12 or something along those lines so why bother completing the rest of the game when the writing is on the wall. lol.

The t-meister should try out. That lil bulldog would be a sore in every opponent's eyes. If the t-meister tries out, we're Omaha-bound next year. No doubt about it.

Come to think of it, Brent also reflected on how great it would be if we could find another Looper hidden "in the bushes" nearby. For obvious reasons, I prefer "diamond in the rough." ;-) Or maybe rough in the diamond? :yes: Anyway, I'm anxious to see who they can shake out on their "Shox hunt."
