I think this is just the beginning of a very solid season for Cody.I expect him to suprise alot of fans this year with an outstanding season at the plate.Comment

I believe he is Randy Smithson's son. He is from the area but did not play at WSU (obviously). I know he played in the same league as the Wingnuts last year and will play for the wingnuts this year. I think I'm correct on this but could be wrong.Originally posted by haysdbComment

Goldberg is from Wichita. He played at Heights his Junior and Senior years. He then went to play at NW Iowa JC (think that was the name). After that I lost track of him. For some reason I think he moved back to the area and was playing for one of the NAIA teams.Comment

Yes, Zach is Randy's son.
Randy’s son, Zach Goldberg is the backup catcher for the Saints.Comment

One interesting development in the Alumni game was that Letourneau went in for Baez at second base in the last couple of innings. I hadn't heard about him being considered as an option there.
Looks like he's now the No. 4 middle infielder option behind Brown, Baez and Grimes.“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

Exactly. When Sisney split it left us shorthanded. Letourneau played some middle infield in high school so they decided to give him a shot.Originally posted by WuzeeComment

To quote one of my favorite baseball movies-Major League "Hey, you know these guys aren't half bad." In field arms not the cannons we were used to last year but still everyone looked good.Comment

No surprise
Not at all surprising about the outcome -- baseball is a game that has to be played, and rust forms very quickly. That's why, back in the old days when there was no limit to the number of games you could play, Gene used to have his guys in action pretty much as often as he could.
So those who were expecting the alums to win just because they had quite a few known quantities whereas the new kids on the block (mostly) don't, weren't being, shall we say, "realists." As it turns out, I happened to be in Austin recently when Texas played its alumni game, and the current team beat a group of alums that included quite a few current major leaguers, for the same reason.
The bad news is that, also for the same reason, beating the alums doesn't tell us much about how this year's Shocks will fare against other teams that have also been practicing -- but I suspect the rumors of their demise will prove to have been greatly exaggerated.Comment
