[utx2]

I think we might have a decent team 😎

[WRNC]

Anthony Pack Jr.’s 6-for-11 (.545) start to the 2026 season

[Jeff Howe]

Per Schloss, Jason Flores will start Tuesday's game against Lamar.

Expect to see Sam Cozart and Brett Crossland in that game as well.

FINAL: Texas 9, UC Davis 1

The Longhorns sweep the opening series of the 2026 season.

I didn't get to tune in this weekend. What are the major takeaways if you don't mind?

From the small sample we’ve seen from Cozart and Crossland, Bing may have taken a step backward on the depth chart. Not that he was bad last season he just may not have what these big freshman have. I think he will be needed at some point I’m glad we have him.

I also want to hear Jeff’s thoughts. At an high level Ethan Mendoza and Adrian Rodriguez are really good! Aiden Robbin’s I think is going to end up being  a big portal get. I was pleased with Borba’s play at first. He dug throws out of the dirt from every other fielder and had a nice double play today. Anthony Pack Jr. has a chance to be special! Ruger Riojas, after a shaky first inning was pretty much in mid-season form the rest of the game and was really good (9k’s in 5IP). Harrison wasn’t bad Saturday. Volantis picked up where he left off last season in his first start and was also really good. Keep in mind it was opening weekend and the other opponent was UC Davis. 
 

This team still needs to come together as expected.

He injured his hammy in bowl practice so I’ve heard. I don’t think it’s bad and expect him to be back on the field soon baring a setback.

I should add Gerry says Jonah has a shoulder injury. I’m not certain of his injury in other words lol.
