Borengasser has options

By Stephen Tsai on February 25, 2018

Linebacker Austin Borengasser indeed has a bright future. He recently received an offer to join the Merrill Lynch office in New York. Borengasser acknowledged he has options, including returning to play for the Warriors this coming season. Borengasser is a 2015 Kamehameha Schools graduate who joined the Warriors as a walk-on safety. * * * * * The ‘Bows, at least statistically, appear to be improved over last season. This year, the UH bullpen has a collective 0.85 ERA (2 […]

Tick-tock, tick-tock … job is on the clock

By Stephen Tsai on February 20, 2018

If anyone — from you to your cousin’s best friend’s step-brother — is interested in becoming a UH assistant football coach, it would be best to apply by today’s deadline. Today is the fifth business day since UH posted the opening for the coaching job vacated when Mayur Chaudhari resigned as special teams coordinator to work for the the Atlanta Falcons. According to H.R. rules, UH may begin reviewing and vetting candidates tomorrow. You, your cousin’s best friend’s step-brother and […]

An honorable opponent

By Stephen Tsai on February 16, 2018

UH baseball fans are expected to root-root-root for the home team in tonight’s 2018 opener. But it also would be difficult to root against Air Force when head coach Mike Kazlausky says things like this (in an interview with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser): > “These young men have all raised their right hands and said they’re willing to die for our country. Yes, we’re going to come out and play baseball. But it’s really about the journey. They’re going to learn […]

Grand Slam was a big hit

By Stephen Tsai on February 12, 2018

The 16th Grand Slam Celebration was one of the largest — about 600 attendees — and lucrative. A lot of the credit goes to the players, who served as greeters, and set-up and clean-up workers. It was a busy weekend for the ‘Bows. They played the alumni game on Saturday afternoon, then helped set up the Stan Sheriff Center following that night’s basketball game. They practiced yesterday morning, then met to work the Grand Slam event. The ‘Bows open the […]

UH baseball plays alumni on Saturday

By Stephen Tsai on February 9, 2018

The baseball ‘Bows will offer a preview when they play the alumni in an exhibition tomorrow at Les Murakami Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. There is no admission fee. Right-hander Jackson Rees will start for the ‘Bows, with a target of 90-95 pitches, or roughly six or seven innings. Rees has increased his velocity to 93 mph, while mixing a power sinker and cut slider. He also has altered his delivery from an over-the-top motion to three-quarters. […]

McNamara helped build baseball program

By Stephen Tsai on December 9, 2017

College recruiting is difficult, and college baseball recruiting is bonkers. A school has to: > Out-recruit other schools; > Hope that a commitment does not receive a too-good-to-pass-up offer from the major leagues; > Find a player who is willing to pay up to 75 percent of his own tuition/expenses to play. (A Division I school must spread the equivalent of 11.7 scholarships over 27 players, with 25 percent of a scholarship as the minimum per player.) > A player […]

All-time short guy MLB team

By Dave Reardon on October 22, 2017

This is almost off the top of my head, in honor of Jose Altuve. No science to it, just trying to compile a list of short guys who played in the majors, preferably with distinction. Interesting how some guys looked shorter than they actually were (Tim Lincecum, Pedro Martinez come to mind). I always thought Craig Biggio was shorter than his listed 5-11. Same with Jimmy Wynn. Maybe Astros looked shorter because they played indoors. I’m sure there are many […]
