Texas baseball will have a media availability this morning over at the Disch.

Notes and quotes in the comments down below.

 

Weekend Schedule:

• Friday: vs. Coastal Carolina (7:00 p.m.)
• Saturday: vs. Baylor (7:00 p.m.)
• Sunday: vs. Ohio State (2:00 p.m.)

[UTexas]

Coastal apparently lost their top 2 starting pitchers for a pretty lengthy amout of time yesterday.

[CJ Vogel]

Team will leave around 11:30 this morning to trek down to Houston. 

[CJ Vogel]

Jim Schlossnagle says he made a deal with Casey Borba to grow a ‘stache when the team won five straight. 

Well, Texas has. 

Now the Stache is here until there’s a loss. 

[CJ Vogel]

Schloss says there typically has been an adjustment period for Texas teams he’s coached against in the past when moving to a natural playing surface. 

Says that will be a test this weekend. 

[CJ Vogel]

Schloss says Ethan Mendoza is the least “data driven” guy on the team and he loves that about him because it brings out the competitiveness in him to the maximum. 

[CJ Vogel]

Starting rotation will remain the same this weekend:

Ruger Riojas on Friday vs. Coastal Carolina 

Luke Harrison on Saturday vs. Baylor

Dylan Volantis on Sunday vs. Ohio State

[CJ Vogel]

C Carson Tinney up next. 

[CJ Vogel]

Tinney says there’s been a lot of growth in the catching unit with Ermis specifically getting more burn at the plate. 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Looking forward to being at Enron aka Minute Maid aka Daiken Park this weekend... For those going most Texas fans will be posted up at Little Woodrows and or Cabos all weekend... 

[CJ Vogel]

Carson Tinney says he’s been very happy with the composure side of things from the starting rotation this year. 

He mentioned it’s his job to keep pitchers focused and composed when calls go different ways or hits start to rack up. Says he uses a certain vocabulary with the starting arms that keeps the game fun 

[CJ Vogel]

Tinney says plate discipline is a big part of his game he’s working on. 

“I am somebody that damages the ball when I make contact. So I’m trying to do the best I can at that.”

[CJ Vogel]

LHP Luke Harrison on the mustaches in the locker room:

”I guess it’s just a baseball thing.”

Says he hasn’t seen Schloss yet, but gives his mustache a 10/10

[CJ Vogel]

Harrison says the team is having a real fun time to start this season

Says the locker room is great at picking each other up so far. 

[CJ Vogel]

Harrison says he hasn’t seen a birth certificate on Sam Cozart yet, but that he’s an infectious locker room guy even when looking like he’s 40

[CJ Vogel]

Harrison says he, Dylan Volantis and Ruger Riojas keep each other accountable with their bodies, recovery and nutrition. 

Says the trio want to make sure it’s them three on hill to start every weekend game this year. 

[CJ Vogel]

That’s all from the Disch. 

I’ll have some transcriptions here soon

[WRNC]

Ashton Larson tore his quad at LSU last season. That might be the reason he sometimes gets defensive subbed.

That's a good point. Schloss said it is often to get other guys involved and on the field when asked today about it.
