That's it for the press conference. CJ, Blake and I are recording this week's edition of "Based Loaded" in a few minutes. It'll be out later today.

Offensively, Schloss said he believes the Longhorns' best baseball is ahead of them.

Schloss said the day Max Belyeu was ready to hit on the field in his return from injury, the Longhorns immediately had a different energy. "You know when he's coming back up," Schloss said of Belyeu's presence.

Vaughn is the one to watch, IF they get rid of Earley. That's still not set in stone.

Schloss says if it gets to that point, Texas will roll with Dylan Volantis as long as he can go in these regional games.

Schloss said playing HCU and UTSA during the season doesn't mean there's less work to do as far as putting together the scouting report, but it does streamline things because there's not as much background that needs to be done. "We're well prepared and these guys are ready to go," Schloss said.

Schloss said HCU needs to take care of head coach Clayton VanderLaan. "Given the resources," HCU is working with, Schloss said, VanderLaan is a superstar in coaching.

Aye they went back to 1996 playing Bone Thugs N Harmony lol

"All four teams can win this regional." – Schloss.

I asked Schloss about his teams in the past seeing a lot of pitches per at bat. He cited the first page of Ted Williams' book – "Get a good pitch to hit." Says no one comes to The University of Texas to walk, but that the emphasis behind the scenes has always remained the same. Find your pitch and get a good pitch to hit. Whether it is pitch one or pitch seven. Schloss added that there really aren't many true "take" signs given at the plate.

Schloss is "super impressed" with HCU's season.

Because batter shouldn't have just watched the pitch go by....have to get some kind of contact

I don't know. I asked myself that as well.

Schloss on the Longhorn hitters taking a lot of pitchers: "I don't ever want a hitter to come to Texas thinking their plan is to walk."

Love that Mitchell crushed that HR on a 2-2 count and put it way into the stands!!

Why on earth was Stewart trying to steal there?

Schloss said he was at dinner when the storm blew through last night. When he saw the photo of the batter's eye down, he told his friend, "I think I need to go." By the time he got to Disch-Falk, Schloss said there were already "eight or nine" people examining the situation and getting to work on fixing the issue.

Texas up 1-0 B2.

get the 2nd out on a K, then the 3rd on a stolen base attempt.

Schloss said Houston Christian is talented and playing hot right now. He'll look at the matchups and "what'll give us the best chance over the course of time."

Ideally, Texas would have four starting pitchers they'd feel confident in putting on the mound. The Jared Spencer injury, however, has clouded the picture.

Jonah "moved around pretty well yesterday and today." Schloss says Jonah Williams will be available this weekend, but unsure of the capacity.

Schloss said he's not ready to announce his starter for tomorrow's game, but he'll have an answer by the end of the day.

Harrison had a lot of praise for Ethan Walker. He said Walker was "a great teammate" and worked hard when he wasn't getting to pitch throughout the season, which is now starting to pay off as he gets his chance to pitch.
