It all depends on my son’s tournaments. Ideally, yes! Always a good time up there. That’s for sure. 

Hopefully an OTF get together in Omaha…

really hope the backend of the bullpen can hold up....if that happens watch out. Texas can make some noise.

Definitely. That’s the only thing that gives me pause, but the talent is there. 

Tanner Witt is still not 100%?  He should be well healed from his surgery (season before last) and hitting his stride now.  This kid's potential is very high so I am surprised that he is viewed as questionable for one of our weekend starting spots. What am I missing?   I expect him to dominate as the season progresses.

I don’t think it’s a matter of being 100% healed, but more his pitching isn’t 100% where they want it to be for a starter role.

Some people don’t ever recover from Tommy John’s. Look at Dre Duplantier. He wasn’t at Witt’s level before injury/surgery but he had high hopes and potential. He still tries hard but has never found his pitching since the surgery. I sure hope Witt can rebound. Looking back seems like he probably pushed too hard to get back last year.

Yes sir talent is there. The pitching might be ugly at times early in the season this year but hopefully it all comes together at least by mid conference.

That would be AWESOME! Already told my wife a trip to the CWS is in order for Father’s Day. 

My 10 yr old end of the year tourney is the SlumpBuster in Omaha during the CWS. Meet me there Texas. Been twice, '02 and '05. Soooo....
