Other than Max Grubbs, "we're in a really good spot," in the bullpen, Schloss said. He specifically said Brett Crossland threw well this week and that Haiden Leffew "is in a good spot."

Like Anthony Pack Jr., Schloss said Cozart has the right combination of confidence and humility that all of the great players he's coached have possessed.

Freddy said Ella has been the soundtrack of their trip. Let’s hope “Choosin Texas” is the soundtrack of the Horns 27 recruiting cycle!

Sam Cozart is "mature beyond his years," Schloss said. He's emerged as one of the top leaders on the team as a freshman.

Well, it's Paxton. Scum is gonna scum.

After pressing early in the season, Schloss said we're seeing the best version of Carson Tinney now that he's settled in, gotten to know his teammates and relaxed.

Schloss said Carson Tinney has grown as a leader on the team throughout the season. "He loves being a Longhorn," Schloss said of his All-American catcher.

Schloss, who's on the board for the American Baseball Coaches Association, said there will be discussions in the offseason regarding whether the portal window should stay the same or move to where it opens after the College World Series.

"It is what it is" Schloss said regarding having to recruit from the transfer portal while trying to get ready for a game in Omaha.

Thanks. I thought women's soccer was one of the 5 sports that had to be included in the 19.

It was "a horrific taste" Texas got in Hoover at the SEC Tournament, but Schloss said the Longhorns have made the most of it by being able to set up the pitching staff for the postseason.

Schloss said he's glad Dariyan Pendergrass is healthy because the outfield in Omaha is big and there's a lot of ground to cover.

Schloss said the Longhorns can't get caught in the matchup with Georgia. It's about pitching, throwing strikes, playing good defense and timely hitting, which is the case in most baseball games.

"If Dylan executes his pitches, more often than not," Schloss said, the odds will be in the Longhorns' favor.

Georgia is "more than likely going to hit some homers," Schloss said. "The question is, 'How many men are going to be on base?'" Keeping free passes to a minimum will be huge, to say the least, Schloss said.

Schloss said he can't remember a time at this stadium where the wind was blowing out like it was today or like it's expected to on Saturday.

Schloss: "We're excited to be here, excited to represent Texas and we understand the assignment."

"At Texas, the fact that it's the 39th trip, it's a bad season if you don't finish it in Omaha," Schloss said before mentioning that the success of other sports on the Forty Acres has put additional pressure on the Longhorns. "The standard is very high among all of our coaches."

That's it for Harrison and Tinney. Schloss will now take questions from the media.

"The key to getting any good hitter out is throwing strike one," Harrison said when asked how the Longhorns plan to handle Daniel Jackson.

Harrison said the benefit of playing in the SEC is the depth of the league and how it prepares you for anything you see in the postseason.

Tinney said, "It's to be expected" that Texas is in a CWS bracket with three other SEC teams. "We play in the best conference in the country," he said.

Tinney said the Longhorns maximizing their time together is a great way to fill the time before Saturday night. Whether it's going out to eat or hanging around the stadium, Harrison said the Longhorns are looking forward to taking in the College World Series as a team.

Soccer and women’s cross country. Soccer 0 points is probably why we have a new coach. See my edits to earlier post.
