Why am I not surprised by someone else being gone? Throw recruits to the curb and bring in a bunch of D1 to JUCO to back to D1 players. To be fair we don't know why he isn't on the team anymore. It could've been he left for personal reasons or he could've been kicked off. I think it's unfair to blame it on the coaches when we don't know the reason.

I didn't blame the coaches but it doesnt matter, I have my own opinion on some of the actions of the program.

Some encouraging things about this edition of a baseball team this weekend. Not sure how good the competition was but we seemed to hit the ball well and pitching wasn't too bad except for the relievers in game one. Seemed to be lots of errors committed by the shortstop position. Last year we started with 4 losses to Michigan State and then a sweep of Creighton. A sweep vs Quinnipiac may say nothing at all but 3 wins after a dismal last year is certainly enough to get my hopes up. I hope we can keep it up and this program gets turned around.

I agree, it would be nice to have a respectable baseball team again. I will be watching more closely than I have in the past.

So Trevino had a little social media video and interview the week before the season is supposed to start, is on preseason all conference list, and is mentioned in our website in preseason write ups, and then all of a sudden is gone?
I've been thinking about this and whether or not it's anybody's business as to if he is in fact off the team or not. If he wasn't a major contributor without all the previously mentioned publicity, no one would be as curious, but that's not the case. As a fan, I think most would want to know why our best returning offensive player wasn't playing...and I would think most major college programs would have some snippet to say 'he's no longer with the team' if that's the case. If this were Texas A&M, I would think we would know. But does that make it appropriate to report on a college kid?

I've been semi reprimanded for wanting the same info on other sports, especially football. I've been told that the school is governed by "privacy laws" so can't report on defections, injuries, grades and such. I've heard this from the SID and from others on this board even though Coastal Carolina (near me) reports all those things in the local paper. Until last year CCU was FCS just like us and should have been governed by the same "privacy laws." I have to think that it's just the way ACU wants things to be. Maybe it's a good policy to keep fans in the dark. To me (a letterman and fan) it smacks of dishonesty. That's just the way I feel. (Although, I was told, the rules are different for those who are big donors; "why don't you give to support the program and quit complaining about info," I believe were the words).

Yeah I understand privacy, and I don't even need reasoning. What I don't understand is why they can't just say 'he's no longer on the team' or 'he is injured'. We literally got videos of him a week ago.

Good win vs UTPB, 8-2. I believe we gave up 1 hit.

Yep 1 hit with 11Ks. One thing that is really making this team different than last year is we are throwing strikes, especially earlier in the count. That was the one thing Vanderhook wanted to do when he got here was pelt the strike zone and get in less 3-1 or 2-1 counts. It’s working as far as I can tell.

Trevino is still on the team. He’s just injured and could come back later this season.
