@R_Brauninger Coach Earley is an elite hitting coach. He is very quickly gaining confidence, experience, and understanding to become an elite manager!

Top 5 highest HR totals for Texas A&M baseball since 2000: 1) 2024 - 136 2) 2026 - 108 (ongoing) 3) 2025 - 95 4) 2023 - 86 5) 2009 - 85 The 2022 team is 6th with 84. Since Mike Earley arrived in College Station, the Aggies have hit a total of 509 homers (101.8 per season)

@TexAgsLive Good season so far Ags! 👍🏼 1 more win to host a regional and 2 more to get a top 8 seed! LFG

One series to play, and a lot on the line 👀⚾️ Whatcha think? 🤔

No. 9 A&M's lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader in Oxford: Grahovac - 3B Sorrell - CF Hacopian - DH Duer - LF Harrison - C Wilson - RF Binderup - 1B Royo - SS Farr - 2B RHP Aiden Sims (8-1, 3.60 ERA) starts for the Ags. First pitch at 2:02 p.m. CT.

@alyssab2448 @RichardZane32 Ah, and the code has been cracked! The injuries are the veiled excuse when it is in fact a coach’s decision/choice on who is playing

@RichardZane32 But we don't have to play duer at all. He's just being chosen over TK.

Another example of the injuries taking a toll on A&M. Duer, who is typically the DH, has to play LF instead of Kiel, and a poor route allows a well-hit ball to get over his head.

@RichardZane32 That Saturday game is setting up to be a pitcher’s duel!

The SEC has released the full pitching probables for this weekend’s series between No. 9 Texas A&M and No. 20 Ole Miss in Oxford:

@R_Brauninger Dude that is crazy! I forgot that out 3 weekend guys started every game last year too!

For the first time in Michael Earley’s tenure, there will be a new starting pitcher in the weekend rotation as Ethan Darden will get the ball on Friday night at Ole Miss.

@DevinOlsenn Should be part of the subscription service.

I had to get my front cameras cleaned yesterday and the cost estimate from Tesla was $77 I really disagree with charging customers who are subscribed to FSD for this service. It’s not my fault the glass is dirty, so why am I paying for it. Asking a customer to pull apart the camera housing and clean it themselves feels like a bit too much as well. Not trying to sound ungrateful at all here - but I really think this is something that should be reconsidered. @yunta_tsai @aelluswamy @Tesla_AI

@TechOperator What is then point if there is a person sitting in the car?

Thursday, I got to experience Avride for the first time. I first saw Avride in Austin last weekend and was surprised to find them in Dallas. As of April, they operate 200 Hyundai Ioniq 5 automated rideshare vehicles, according to Self Drive News. Avride uses LiDAR, radar, and a camera suite system, unlike Tesla's pure vision system. The cars are retrofitted with two displays, one in the front and a smaller one in the rear. We hailed the service through Uber, after switching on "Autonomous vehicles" in Account → Settings. You can't request an autonomous car directly, but it does boost your chances. The pickup was seamless; however, the driver had to tell me to unlock the door before hopping in, which was done via the Uber app. This unlock process ensures that only the passenger who booked the ride can access the vehicle, adding a layer of security. We had a safety supervisor, whom Avride called a specialist. The specialist's name appears in the app, just like any driver. Ours sat in the driver's seat for our ride. Our specialist was friendly and professional. He didn't need to intervene during our ride. He knew I was filming, and I asked permission to post some video. 5 stars for the specialist. The ride was smooth and confident. I noticed a slight amount of wheel jittering (we couldn't feel it in the car) and two very minor brake stabs. We had a hesitation at a right-on-red as well. The jitter and brake stabs were hardly perceptible; the only thing my wife noticed was the hesitation, the rest is just me nitpicking as a Tesla Self-Driving user. I'd give the ride a 9/10 overall. Avride operates in a geofenced area of Dallas and North Dallas. We rode from the Dallas Museum of Art to a shopping center in Uptown, about 4 miles in 14 minutes. Drop-off was right near where we parked our car in the specified shopping center. Overall, it was quick, easy, convenient, and felt very safe. We took this ride back from Dallas in a Tesla Robotaxi. I'll be putting together a comparison between the two services tomorrow or Monday. Well done, Avride, and stay tuned for the comparison!

@KendallRogers Proof or I call it Kendall just trying to be impartial. If that was strike then the strike 3 call to Binderup the inning before couldn’t be a strike because the plate is only 17 inches wide. Cant have it both ways which is what the issue is about and not just 1 call

FWIW -- fans were livid, as was Michael Earley, but that strike three on Grahovac WAS inside the strike zone square on TrackMan.

FINAL | No. 8 @AuburnBaseball clinches a massive road series win over No. 7 @AggieBaseball with a 5-4 victory. Chase Fralick finished off a big day with two homers in the win, while Jake Marciano/Jackson Sanders did their part on the mound.

@11point7 Can someone besides espn and Flo sports please pick up college baseball.

Vanderbilt and Texas just got kicked off ESPN2 in a 3-3 game in the 8th inning.

@AggieBaseball Dub day Ags! Gig Em 👍🏼

Sunday card ⤵️

@SexyLegsSarge Cool graphic! 👍🏼

Aggies take their first step towards a top 8 national seed with a win over Florida today m. 6 wins to go

@Drewtamu That was fastball too 🤯

😵‍💫 Gavin Lyons…

@CollegeGameDay @KirkHerbstreit What a huge turd. All respect lost for this dude to say something like that to the media

.@KirkHerbstreit: "How would you try to quantify what [Caleb Downs] meant?" Ryan Day: "I think the first thing that surprised me, when Caleb came to Ohio State was that he was a mess. I don't know what they were doing at Alabama." 😅

@PEARatings @espn Dude really? $300 for Unlimited and we can’t see a top 5 matchup from teams in the ACC and SEC?

Georgia Tech-Georgia not be televised is a war crime

Tuesday, April 21st Best Games Jacksonville State-Troy and Houston-Rice are also 8.1 games

@PEARatings Dude are really having a top 5 matchup tha isn’t aired on TV?

@AgHopeLookout @Micah_CBC @TrevAlberts Agree! For such a top notch athletic department our concessions are trash and outrageously priced.

@Micah_CBC @TrevAlberts we’re looking at you👀 Bring our concession prices back down to earth, please🙏

🚨Ballpark Food Review🚨 Tiger Dog Price: $5 Rating: 9.0/10 Might get me in trouble but a much better hot dog than the Aggie dog and half the price. Hard to beat that.

@RichardZane32 Wow I do not expect that at all!

I’m already at Alex Box Stadium as Texas A&M is about to begin batting practice. All eyes will be on #8 in Maroon as Chris Hacopian is listed as a game-time decision.

@PEARatings Great slate of games 👍🏼

Saturday, April 18th Best Games

@KendallRogers Oh man Coach Johnson is big mad!! The Tigahs are going to come out guns blazing this afternoon
