Wish Schloss would sit Borba for a weekend and give someone else a chance. 

I think he would if we had a good option to play 1st base. He’s not scared to make changes, almost to a fault at times. 

[Burnt Orange Horn]

W T F ! ! !

[AZ Longhorn]

Great stuff from Thomas! Would be bigtime for him to become a trusted option in the thin pen

[AZ Longhorn]

Embarrassing to get blanked by this Vandy staff through 6 innings. There's still time, but gotta find something we haven't yet

[Burnt Orange Horn]

Now Vanderbilt brings out their real relievers!!!

[Class of 04]

Vandy pitchers are doing a good job working from ahead. When every hitter is taking the first pitch they just groove a get me over fastball for a strike and then throw breakers away that our hitters are willing to chase.

ICYMI, the softball team clinched a series win over Kentucky this afternoon:

 

This one was close 1-1 until Stewart hit a grand slam. Boom. 

[AZ Longhorn]

3 IP from Burns, with just one baserunner off a 64 exit velo cheapie, is a great sign

[TCope111]

Need to break the ice this inning or you can chalk this one up. 

[MarkInAustin]

This Vandy pitcher is crafty, with control and good movement on his stuff.

[TCope111]

Our team is so fun to watch at times and so hard to watch at others. Hopefully we figure it out by the regionals. 

[82horn]

Need Jason Flores to come on, let’s see what he looks like here.

[Cozer]

I think it is time to start discussing Ruger not being up to the level his draft grade is saying. At least, not right now. He’s been underwhelming for several starts now (maybe 4?). 

[82horn]

Should have been a double play ball.

[JMarquette]

Borba doesn’t need to play anymore 

[Class of 04]

JV defense out there...

[Cozer]

This bullpen is really up and down. I know we have one of the best coaches/developers of the position, but my goodness it is lacking. 

[dentonhorn]

Looks like I picked the wrong night to quit drinking. 

[AZ Longhorn]

Great stuff from Burns + Flores in the pen. 5 IP, 1 run (that shouldn't have been a run — that's on Borba) is a great performance against this Vandy offense. Gave us a chance to win, unfortunately the offense didn't do its part

[JMarquette]

Vandy’s staff has a 7 ERA and just blanked us 😭

Yes. Humiliating. 

[Jeff Howe]

FINAL: Vanderbilt 6, Texas 0

The Longhorns will try and get the series win tomorrow.

Inexcusable to go from 11 runs to shut out by a staff that is not stellar by any stretch. I mean nobody expects to get 11 again…but shut out. Flush this crap and figure it out. You simply can’t fall off this bad.
