If you haven’t heard already, the Texas Tech baseball team is coming off four games in five days road trip that consisted of a three-game series in West Virginia and a midweek game at New Mexico State on Monday.

The kicker is the final game. Tech woke up in Charleston, W. Va., on Monday morning and began its journey to Atlanta, El Paso and then Las Cruces and then back to Lubbock. That’s right – three time zones in one day, with a nine-inning baseball game at the end of flights from West Virginia to Georgia to Texas and then a bus trip back to Lubbock.

Sounds like quite the day right, well, let me break it down for you minute by minute, flight by flight and bus trip by bus trip.The entire trip took 26 hours and 41 minutes to travel 2,320 miles… Yes, in one day. Let me take you on our journey.

Stay with me now.

MONDAY, MARCH 25

- 4:30 a.m. ET (Charleston, W. Va.):
Red Raiders, coaches, staff and radio crew wake up at the Marriot in Charleston on Monday morning getting ready to start the day.

- 5:08 a.m. ET (Charleston, W. Va.):
Tech charter bus leaves the hotel and heads to the airport.

- 5:21 a.m. ET (Charleston, W. Va.):
Tech arrives at the airport in plenty of time for its 7 a.m. flight to Atlanta, Ga., where the team will then wait for its next flight. While at the airport in Charleston a few players caught some extra shut eye as others grabbed some breakfast.

- 7:02 a.m. ET (Charleston, W. Va.):
The Red Raiders’ flight to Atlanta, Ga., takes off from the run way.

- 8:04 a.m. ET (Atlanta, Ga.):
Tech’s quick one hour and two minute flight has landed as the team now has a little bit of time before its next flight which will take them to El Paso. Players who didn’t get something to eat earlier are in the Atlanta airport looking for something to eat before the next flight.

-11:33 a.m. ET (Atlanta, Ga.):
Wheels up for Tech’s second flight of the day – next stop the Mountain Time zone of El Paso, Texas.

12:50 p.m. MT (El Paso, Texas):
The time might not look like it had changed much, that’s because three hours and 17 minutes later looks quite a bit different when you jump back two time zones as Tech landed in El Paso at 12:50 p.m. in the great state of Texas. Tech players, coaches and staff rounded up bags and located its charter bus that would take them on the rest of its trip.

1:45 p.m. MT (El Paso, Texas):
The Red Raiders had a little bit of time to kill – but also some lunch to grab – as the team headed over to Fuddruckers in El Paso to get something to eat before batting practice and arriving in Las Cruces.

2:56 p.m. MT (El Paso, Texas):
After a quick lunch, the Red Raiders headed towards Las Cruces.

3:40 p.m. MT (Las Cruces, N.M.):
Tech reached its final destination before game time as the team went directly to the football stadium at New Mexico State and changed into their uniforms and batting practice gear as game time was only 2 hours and 20 minutes away. The short bus trip from El Paso to Las Cruces took just 44 mintues.

6:06 p.m. MT (Las Cruces, N.M.):
After batting practice and infield/outfield the Red Raiders were set for game time as first pitch from Trey Higginbotham was delivered at 6:06 p.m. local time in Las Cruces at Presley Askew Field.

9:38 p.m. MT (Las Cruces, N.M.):
After a three hour and 32 minute game, the Red Raiders lost 7-6 as the Aggies scored three runs in the eighth and ninth innings to come back from a 6-4 deficit. Tech had two players who finished with three base this (Brennan Moore, Elliot Richoux) in the loss.

10:21 p.m. MT (Las Cruces, N.M.):
Players and coaches showered and changed and the radio crew packed up their gear as the trip back to Lubbock was about to begin. The bus driver had said to plan on at least six hours and 15 minutes. The team grabbed something quick to eat at McDonald’s and we were all set to make the final leg of the trip back home to Lubbock.

TUESDAY, MARCH 26

6:11 a.m. CT (Lubbock, Texas):
Well, the bus driver was close, but at this point who was counting as the bus ride from Las Cruces to Lubbock took around six hours and 50 minutes with one stop for sure (might have been more, who knows) to pick up a fresh bus driver – one who ended up bringing us back to the clubhouse. Some players stayed up and studied, some players got some rest and others were watching movies on laptops or doing whatever else you can do on a six-plus hour bus ride on a day that started a full day ago.

As we say at the end of a baseball game, TIME OF GAME… well for this I’ll say, TIME OF DAY: 26 hours and 41 minutes.

This didn’t even include talking about the Red Raiders who jumped on a bus at 6 a.m. in Lubbock that joined the team in El Paso as several Tech pitchers who wouldn’t see action then flew back to Lubbock. What a day, what a trip.

With all of this being said, you can’t even start to explain the unbelievable job Texas Tech baseball director of operations Joseph Hughes did with all of the travel planning, arrangements and execution of getting the Red Raiders from A-to-B… I mean to even think about this much less plan this and have everything work out and happen is just proof of the job Joe does on a day-to-day basis. The Red Raiders have the very best director of operations in the country, and this trip shows just part of the reason why.

As the kids say, “big props” go to Joe Hughes!

Thankfully the Red Raiders have a couple days off – well at least without travel – before taking on the TCU Horned Frogs in their Big 12 home opening series which takes place March 29-31 at Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park.

CHAD BETTIS (Rockies)  |  ROGER KIESCHNICK (Giants)

Baseball America has continued its list of each Major League Baseball organization’s top prospects and recently two former Red Raiders appeared on teams “top 10 rankings” in the National League Western Division.

Chad Bettis, a second round draft pick by the Colorado Rockies in 2010, is ranked the No. 5 prospect in the Rockies organization. Despite missing the entire 2012 season due to injury, Bettis is healthy and expected to make huge strides in 2013.

The 2011 California League Pitcher of the Year, Bettis was also tabbed as having the organization’s top slider – not a bad addition to his already mid-to-upper 90’s fastball.

The publication also lists Bettis as the Rockies “No. 3 Starter” for a projected 2016 lineup.

A teammate of Bettis’ at Tech and a former standout Red Raider Roger Kieschnick was ranked the No. 9 minor league prospect in the World Champion San Francisco Giants organization.

This past year Kieschnick was having a season to remember in Triple-A in the Pacific Coast League before having his season cut short due to an injury. In just 55 games in 2012, Kieschnick batted .306 (69-for-222) with 13 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs and 40 RBI.

COLLEGE SPORTS MADNESS PRESEASON ALL-BIG 12 TEAMS

Two returning Red Raiders picked up preseason accolades on Wednesday as senior first baseman Scott LeJeune and sophomore infielder Tim Proudfoot were both named to the College Sports Madness Preseason All-Big 12 first and second team, respectively.

The staff at College Sports Madness selected a first and second team while they help preview all of the conferences in college baseball prior to the season.

LeJeune is coming off a junior campaign that saw him hit .296 (66-for-223) with 31 runs, 16 doubles, one home run and 43 RBI. LeJeune is a .313 career hitter with 204 career hits, 58 doubles, seven home runs and 138 RBI.

LeJeune enters his senior season leading all active players in the conference with 58 doubles.

Proudfoot became the first Red Raider freshman in school history to start in at least 50 games at shortstop last season. He batted .237 with 14 doubles, five triples and two home runs while leading all Big 12 freshmen in extra-base hits (21).

Proudfoot was named to the Brooks Wallace Award Watch list – an award given annually to the top shortstop in college baseball. He was one of just four freshmen shortstops in the country named to the prestigious list.

ROBERT GIOVANNETTI CALLS AS RADIO PLAY-BY-PLAY VOICE OF RED RAIDER BASEBALL

2012 Season Highlight Video  |  2011 Season Highlight Video

Earlier today we made the announcement that Robert Giovannetti will step aside from his radio play-by-play duties with Texas Tech Red Raider baseball. From someone who interacted with “Gio” on an everyday basis during the baseball season, let me say, he will be greatly missed by everyone.

Now, before I move along further, I do need to say that Gio will still be around the ballpark in his new role of play-by-play TV announcer for Red Raider baseball. Soon the TV broadcast schedule will be announced and Giovannetti will be the play-by-play announcer.

In his five seasons – two where I have worked alongside him as the athletics communications contact for baseball and even worked some games as the color commentator on the radio broadcast – Gio has done an outstanding job bringing the action of Red Raider baseball to all of its fans. Parents of players on the team, alumni, fans in Lubbock and to all of the Red Raider fans across the country – everyone enjoyed his descriptive calls of Red Raider baseball.

Gio formed close relationships with all of the baseball coaches, staff, trainers, student-athletes, managers and anyone else who he came in contact with. There wasn’t one person in the program who didn’t look forward to seeing Gio at the ballpark.

He wanted listeners of the broadcast to be a part of the action. He set up an email account for fans, parents or anyone to ask questions throughout the game. A true interactive way to get the fans involved in the game broadcast. He did everything he could to bring the action to the fans.

There are always parents who get frustrated with not being able to be at the game, maybe how their son would perform or even the amount of playing time he would receive. But one thing is for sure, they loved Gio’s broadcast and his way of talking about every player and how they found ways to contribute.

I always loved seeing families and parents when they would get a chance to meet Gio on a road trip or when they would make it to Lubbock. They were all so grateful and thanked him over and over for the work that he did. It was no secret, he did an outstanding job.

It was always amazing how prepared he was for calling the action no matter what else was going on in his life at that time. He found ways to manage working at FOX 34, an educational software company, his current job as Associate Vice Chancellor for Communications and Marketing with the Texas Tech University System and also his wife and daughter.

Oh and by the way, if his current job title sounds important, it’s because it is!

Gio always came to the ballpark with a great attitude and could always bring a smile to the student-athletes and even coaches’ faces when he would be in conversation with them or even during his pre-game interviews.

Typically as a season goes on in any sport, student-athletes who are selected to do an interview at times can grow tired of doing interviews. I can honestly say I never had a student-athlete over the past two years sigh, moan or grown about doing a pre-game interview with him… And it was because Gio was so professional, respectful and did an outstanding job with his interview questions. A true pro!

There was never a question of whether he was prepared. He would always be aware of the next milestone, streak or tidbit that was about to happen. He would inform me of things that were on the horizon that at times that I wasn’t even aware of.

He always respected the program. The past players, the past coaches or anyone who at one point was a Red Raider, Gio held in high regard. He found ways to honor the previous players and coaches without ever stepping on the toes of our active Red Raiders.

Gio is one of the all-time good-guys in collegiate athletics, media and really any walk of life. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him in the past and although he won’t be a few rows behind me in the bus on the road, I will cherish the times we have spent together and look forward to the next. I have been very fortunate to call Robert Giovannetti a tremendous co-worker and also a friend.

I will serve as his color commentator for this last tribute of this blog, as I loved his sign off on Red Raider victories:

“MAN THE TOWERS, RING THE BELLS!”

TREY MASEK BIO  |  TREY MASEK CAREER STATS

Texas Tech junior right-handed pitcher Trey Masek received another honor this week as the Giddings, Texas, native was tabbed by Perfect Game as having the No. 2 Slider in the Cape Cod League this past summer.

Perfect Game listed Masek No. 2 in the “Best Breaking Ball – Slider” category behind LHP Sean Manaea, who is a 6-foot-5 junior at Indiana State and pitched for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks last summer. Manaea is being projected by many college baseball reporters as the favorite to be the first overall selection in the first round in the 2013 MLB Draft.

What might be even more amazing – and a credit to the quality of pitchers in the Cape Cod League – is that Masek has been known more for the velocity of his fastball throughout his first two years at Tech (reportedly 95-96 MPH this summer) wasn’t included in the top five pitchers “Best Velocity” rankings.

In two seasons at Texas Tech, Masek is 7-8 with a 4.12 ERA in 34 appearances with 17 starts while pitching 120 innings with 79 strikeouts and 49 walks allowed while limiting opposing batters to a .264 batting average.

Masek, who the publication also ranked as a projected 1st-3rd draft pick in the 2013 MLB Draft, was a Cape Cod League All-Star last summer for the Falmouth Commodores and was one of the top pitchers in the “Cape”, which is known across the country as the premier collegiate baseball summer baseball league.

Masek has received numerous honors early on in his junior season from Baseball America and Perfect Game.

NATHAN KARNS MINOR LEAGUE BIO

Former Texas Tech RHP Nathan Karns had a Low-A and High-A season to remember in 2012. This morning Karns was recognized by Baseball America as the No. 5 prospect of the Washington Nationals’ organization.

Karns, who was already selected as the Nationals’ Minor League Pitcher of the Year – by both the Nationals and Baseball America – is among elite company on Baseball America’s list as he is the only prospect among the top five taken after the fifth round. Karns was a 12th round pick out of Texas Tech in 2009 by the Nationals.

Karns dominated in 2012 with an 11-4 record, 2.17 ERA, 24 outings (18 starts) with two complete games, 116.0 innings pitched and 148 strikeouts. Last month Karns was added to the Nationals 40-man roster.

BASEBALL AMERICA ON NATHAN KARNS:

Background: Karns has flashed power stuff since his high school days in Texas, but his command held him back in college at North Carolina State and Texas Tech. He appeared to turn the corner in 2009 in the Texas Collegiate League, where he ranked as the top prospect before signing for $225,000 as a 12th-round pick, but he tore the labrum in his shoulder shortly afterward and didn’t pitch again until 2011. He came out of nowhere to lead the minors in opponent average (.174) in his 2012 full-season debut.

Scouting Report: Karns throws a heavy fastball at 92-94 mph, topping out at 96. He always has been able to get hitters to chase his downer curveball, a low-80s hammer with depth and finish, and he improved his ability to throw it for strikes last season. His curve should become a true plus pitch as he continues to learn to repeat it, and his changeup has a chance to be average. He has smoothed out his delivery somewhat, and his command has improved so much that he has a chance to stick as a starter.

The Future: Added to the 40-man roster in November, Karns will advance to Double-A in 2013 and could reach Washington in the second half. He could be a mid-rotation workhorse or a late-inning reliever, depending on how his changeup and feel for pitching progress.

This past weekend the Texas Tech baseball program had two more players added to its list of graduates for the year of 2012 as LHP Ben Flora and RHP John Neely walked across the stage and received their bachelor’s degrees from Texas Tech University.

Flora and Neely join OF Nick Hanslik and 1B Scott LeJeune as the most recent baseball student-athletes to graduate from Tech as all earned degrees in 2012.

Neely, who graduated with a degree in university studies, was one of the top pitchers for the Red Raiders during all three of his seasons at Tech. His breakthrough season came as a junior in 2011 when he went 9-1 with seven saves in 30 appearances with a 2.97 ERA. He was named a NCBWA third team All-American and was an All-Big 12 second team selection.

Following his senior season in 2012, Neely was selected by the Houston Astros in the 30th round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Players Draft. Neely finished his Red Raider career with 13 wins, 4.20 ERA and nine saves in 141.1 innings with 55 outings and 13 starts.

Neely will report to spring training with the Astros on March 2.

Flora, an advertising major, made 79 career appearances in his four-year Tech career – a total that ranks him fourth all-time in school career history. A native of Plano, Flora pitched in 85.2 innings with 10 starts while notching 74 strikeouts. His 33 career appearances in Big 12 play ranks third all-time at Texas Tech.
