Malcom Brown most talented for sure. Never forget when I stopped by Brenham High and the guys were running a mile as part of a workout … he ran sub 6 min mile at 290’ish pounds

If I were opposing pitchers I would throw breaking balls to Jonah until he proves he can hit one. Would never throw him a fast ball. Gasparino continues to look lost at the plate and needs a reset. If last night's team shows back up we will lose to KSU today. Backs against the wall now so let's see if these guys really want it or not.

Keep all the shops locked up…..

That was straight up disappointing last night

The Jahdae Barron effect folks!

Living rent free inside a small head

It’s funny how literally nobody has given a thought about Gerald McCoy in about 15 years and yet, this is his idea of trying to stay relevant? This didn’t have the effect he thought it did 😂😂

To be honest, we saw this coming , or certainly the possibility of it. I would put us at a 70% chance to beat KState. From there to win two ? Not confident put it that way.

Never listen to anyone that’s been in Oklahoma and liked it 😂

Still processing last night. I can only imagine what our team is feeling this morning. Sucks to lose that way. Couple of thoughts on the morning after… 1) I can’t recall another game all year with that many compounding mistakes in the field combined with stranding 10 runners on base. 2) It would be one things if we got beat playing our best and the other team simply played better. This stings more because much of the loss felt self inflicted due to poor execution. Hats off to UTSA for grinding after we took the 6-1 lead but we shot ourselves in the foot last night. How will we respond in the elimination game against KSU? 3) Hard to believe how well the Horns have played all season when you look at the team’s individual performances. Statistically, our Horns have been middle of the conference for much of the season. Hitting, fielding, pitching. Our team is largely the same as last season. For a few of our hitters, their numbers have actually regressed this season which is a bit troubling. 4) The most impressive (and surprising) part of the team imo is our shut-down freshman closer Dylan Volantis. He’s been a lot of fun to watch. Excited to see his career progress on the 40 acres. What’s not surprising is that we’ve struggled as a team ever since Jared Spencer went down with the season ending shoulder injury. We don’t have the depth in quality pitching to handle the loss of our #1 starter. This was obvious and when Spencer went down, the probability of a long run into the CWS looked bleak. 5) Flashing back to Sark’s first year, it was painful watching the Horns. Felt like we were going backwards as we endured loss after loss against mediocre opponents. The team was t having fun. The foundation was being set but it takes time. Well Schloss needs time as well just not as much it appears. The immediate future looks really bright with our top recruiting class coming and what’s likely to unfold with the transfer portal. This team has outperformed all expectations through the season, the foundation of winning culture is getting laid and an improved roster with more depth at pitching is on the way. 6) Schloss and the Horns achieved the improbable and unthinkable in winning the SEC conference championship…. in year 1!! Crazy. No one could have predicted. Especially not in the SEC. They kept grinding and winning one series after another. It’s been fun to watch this team pull off the unexpected. Last night doesn’t change that. 7) Hope we rebound against Kansas State with the team that confidently won the SEC so we can get another shot at UTSA. Feel like we have much better baseball left to play this season than what we saw last night; however, our lack of pitching depth is going to be a challenge. Would be fun to see the Horns bounce back. We’ll see if they’ve got it in them or have they run out of gas? Predicting a high scoring game. Either way, this has been a fun gritty team to watch this season with much better seasons ahead as Schloss builds his team for sustaining success. Feels like Schloss and our Horns baseball team is just getting started. Hook em! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

5 wins away

Played like last years team

Just bad bad baseball and playing that vs a gritty team like UTSA gets you beat

Spot on Blake. Situational baseball with runners on 1sr and 2nd were atrocious. You have to scratch a run in that situation. If Texas simply executes laying down a bunt, you can likely add two more runs on the board. We shift on defense and ARod can’t throw the guy out at first. That’s the whole purpose. That started the slide imo and Harrison did the rest to let UTSA climb back in. Baseball is about doing a job and executing a game plan. Texas didn’t do that at all. Texas looking at 3rd strike pitches is infuriating along with the double digit Ks. Embarrassing loss. Texas threw their best arms and got beat. Harrison, Grubbs, Burns and Volantis.

Agree to disagree. Also noted our errors on the field. We didn’t help ourselves clearly.

Smart man. It was painful, but I couldn't turn it off.

At bats with runners in scoring position were extremely frustrating to watch.

Great write up. It was painful to watch, but you're absolutely right. The game was over at 8-6 even though there were plenty of outs remaining. They need to shake it off. It's a tough road, but they are the best team in the regional. They can do it, but can they? We'll see at 2 PM.

You should be thankful. That was one of the most aggravating things I’ve ever sat through. My wife did the same and couldn’t believe when I told her the score this morning. We’ve been making plans for Omaha if Texas makes it and she was counting it down with “only four wins away” before going to bed. Now she’s saying five wins away, including three in a row over the next two days.

I went to bed when the score was 6-1 and woke up madder than Lincoln Riley’s family after he pulled that brisket out. Man.

That was far from pretty last night

UTSA looked like the better team yesterday. Clutch hitting all game long and they handled our crowd like the veteran team they are. We had our opportunities over and over again. Some of our key players look lost and are just not getting it done at the plate. Let’s hope they hit the switch from here out.

There’s no other way to put it, except Texas choked last night. After being up 6-1, the Horns had a colossal meltdown and lost 9-7. The offense went cold, the defense committed mistake after mistake. Now, what should have been a win one and advance scenario, has turned into the No. 2 seeded Longhorns having to fight their way through three games to host a super regional. That’s tough. Really tough. First they’ll need to beat the Wildcats at 2:00 PM today. Some books have Texas as a 1.5 run favorite over Kansas State, while some have a little more faith in the team, and has them as a 2.5 run favorite. Regardless of all that, the Horns have to find a way to win. Ruger Riojas gets the start on the bump today. If you’ve looked at his last few starts, that’s worrisome. If you look at his whole body of work, then you know he’s more than capable of handling business. The big question is, which version will we see today? Of course, even if he’s on, Schloss and his staff need offensive output. They need what we saw in the first half of the UTSA game and definitely not the anemic offense we saw over the last few innings. Which version of this team will show up? Baseball is such a fickle game. Momentum and mindset play a role like no other. Last night, a little before 11:00 PM, I texted both Jeff and CJ that the game is over. Texas’ faces and body language said everything. Unfortunately, I was right. An hour later UTSA was celebrating. They can NOT get in that funk today. — A few other random thoughts: - Everyone keeps wanting Flores out of the lineup. I get it, he hasn’t been the best the last few weeks. The only problem is, the depth at SS is very shallow. If Texas felt confident in someone else, they would put them there. In a perfect world, I would suggest moving Mendoza over to short and letting A Rod start at 2nd. - Some freshman mistakes from Jonah last night reared their ugly head at the wrong time. Those last couple of at bats were awful. When he’s on though, he and Borba create a nice 1-2 punch at the end of the lineup. Growing pains. - You HAVE to get more from your 5-6-7 today and the rest of the way. Last night they combined for ZERO hits in 12 ABs. - Gasparino has got to be better. No excuses at this point. - As Jeff pointed out last night, 13 players were left on base. Multiple times Texas left two runners stranded. That’s huge. It’s been an issue off and on this season. - Multiple top 16 teams face elimination today. At least eight, by my count. As I said earlier, momentum is very important, and Texas has to get hot again…. QUICKLY.
