OTF Premium Baseball Game Thread: No. 2 Texas vs. No. 5 Auburn (Sunday)

[Jeff Howe]

With the series even after last night's 7-6 win, the Longhorns will send Dylan Volantis to the mound looking to take the three-game series from the Tigers.

First pitch is at 2 p.m. on SEC Network Plus.

[CJ Vogel]

Robbins smoked that ball.

Only got a single off of it unfortunately.

[CJ Vogel]

Adrian Rodriguez is in a bit of a funk currently.

 

Now 1–9 at the plate this series with 2 K.

“A bit” is very generous

A-Rod being hurt doesn’t lend to being a good 4 hole to me. Not right now. I’d rather him bat 2nd so he can put balls in play and do his job.

And here.we.go.  you get a walk and you get a walk....

Or move him to 8 since almost everyone is hitting better than he is

A lot of pitches in this first inning for Volantis.

[Buck Travis]

Auburn's ballpark is gorgeous. 

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis ends an 11-pitch at-bat with Fralick by striking him out.

Auburn has a runner on second with two outs in the bottom of the first.

I agree, it’s as nice as most triple A parks to me. 

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis walks Guevara. It’s a 27-pitch inning and counting for Volantis.

[Jeff Howe]

Terrell is retired in foul territory to end a long bottom of the first.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 1: Texas 0, Auburn 0

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis threw 30 pitches in the first inning.

[CJ Vogel]

30 pitches for Volantis, only 16 strikes.

But, no harm in the first inning.

[HookedOnTF]

Score your walks!!!

[Burntcowboy]

Boom

[CJ Vogel]

Borbomb!

[Jeff Howe]

Casey Borba’s one-out, two-run home run puts Texas on top in the top of the second, 2-0.

M2: Texas 2, Auburn 0

Shout out to the media team. The UT promotion video is the best in college athletics. 

[CJ Vogel]

At this point, I think you just hope Volantis can get you through the 5th inning with how many pitches he is throwing.
