Baseball Game Thread: No. 4 Texas vs. No. 10 Mississippi State (Sunday, 1 p.m.)

[Jeff Howe]

After yesterday's 7-4 loss to the Bulldogs, the Longhorns will go for the series win today at 1 p.m. The game is live on ESPN.

 

If Texas wins and Auburn finishes a sweep of Texas A&M in College Station today, the Longhorns will be all alone in second place in the conference standings.

What’s the pitching match up look like?

Glad Schloss referred to Bohls as scrouge in the postgame presser yesterday.

@CJ Vogel please make no comments if the pitching is good today.

Luke Harrison is on the mound for Texas.

State is going with Charlie Foster. A 6-4 sophomore lefty, he’s 0-2 with a 5.67 ERA in 13 appearances (eight starts), 33 hits and 21 earned runs allowed in 33.1 innings, 36 strikeouts and 17 walks.

Not impressed with the Sunday crowd. Hoping the empty seats get filled.

Watching the Missouri-Georgia baseball game.  Texas is projected as a #3 overall seed, so that means they would face Florida in a Super Regional if those standings hold up through the end of conference tournament weekend and Texas wins their Regional.

Here in our seats waiting for the first pitch. 

[Jeff Howe]

Reese draws a one-out walk against Harrison.

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison gets Sullivan to chase upstairs. Two away.

[Jeff Howe]

Bevis draws a walk on a borderline payoff pitch.

Two on, two down for State as Harrison crosses the 20-pitch mark for the inning.

[BurntOrangeDriller]

Home plate umpires have been atrocious all weekend 

[Jeff Howe]

Didn't look like Monsour got a good read on that single to center by Parker. It's an RBI single that puts State up early, 1-0.

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison's third walk of the inning loads the bases with two outs.

He's thrown 30 pitches this inning and there's activity in the bullpen.

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison's payoff pitch to Chance leaves the yards for a two-out grand slam.

[PinchPullPancake]

Good grief talk about a weird inning with the strikeouts and walks. Walks are a killer. Grand Slam 🤦🏾‍♂️

[LonghornFan4Ever]

Welp…

[Jeff Howe]

It's a five-run first inning for Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are still batting with two outs in the top of the first.

[JMarquette]

Luke Harrison can’t start anymore.

[dentonhorn]

Well, I needed to mow the yard anyway.

[Jeff Howe]

The free bases will kill you against quality opponents.

[harveycmd]

This is going bad fast.
