The Roost Podcast | Ep 177 – 2024 Memphis Preview with Bryan Moss

By

Next up as The Roost Podcast continues its AAC opponent previews: Bryan Moss of the Tiger Sports Report dives into Memphis football in 2024.

Memphis football has sky-high expectations in 2024. Are those reasonable? The Tigers have a high-flying offense, questions on defense and a dearth of NIL money set aside to help solve those problems. Rivals’ Bryan Moss of the Tiger Sports Report gives us a rundown of the Tigers and their place in the AAC pecking order this season.

You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 177.

Rice Baseball 2024: MLB Owls Update – All-Star Break

By

The 2024 MLB season is underway and Rice baseball alums are busy on the mound and at the plate. Here’s the latest from the MLB Owls.

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Rendon played in 26 games in the first half of the season after battling injuries. He started to really find his stride over the last few weeks as he returns to regular playing time with the Halos.

Through July 14, Rendon is hitting .245 with five extra-base hits, nine walks and 20 strikeouts. His OPS is .608 and he’s collected four RBI.

JT Chargois – Miami Marlins

Chargois finished the first half with a pair of scoreless outings, throwing three total innings while allowing just two hits. He struck out three of the 12 batters he faced. Those appearances helped further lower his already impressive 2024 stat lines. He’s been spectacular since he rejoined the team from the injured list earlier this season.

Through July 14, Chargois has a 1.32  ERA with a 1.024 WHIP. He’s averaging 7.9 strikeouts per nine innings.

Injured List

Dane Myers – Miami Marlins

Myers’ strong season will be delayed at least 6-to-8 weeks. The Marlins’ outfielder fractured his left ankle during a game against the Reds prior to the All-Star Break. The injury occurred while kicking a clubhouse door, venting frustration from a called third strike and subsequent ejection at the plate.

Through July 14, Myers is hitting .265 with eight extra-base hits, seven walks and 32 strikeouts. His OPS is .759 and he’s collected 14 RBI.

Knocking on the Door

The following Owls began the season in AAA:

  • Matt Canterino – St Paul Saints (Twins)
  • Tyler Duffey – Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals)
  • Jon Duplantier – Syracuse Mets (Mets) *released
  • Tristan Gray – Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins)
  • Evan Kravetz – Louisville Bats (Reds)
  • Lucas Luetge – Worcester Red Sox (Red Sox)
  • Dane Myers – Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) *promoted
  • Glenn Otto – El Paso Chihuahuas (Padres)
