OTF Premium Baseball Game Thread: No. 4 Texas vs. UTSA (6:30 p.m., Tuesday)

[Jeff Howe]

The last midweek game of the 2026 season is underway on SEC Network Plus. Anthony Pack Jr. is getting the day off. Max Grubbs gets the start for the Longhorns against the Roadrunners.

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs goes flyout, groundout, strikeout to retire the Roadrunners in order in the top of the first.

M1: Texas 0, UTSA 0

[Jeff Howe]

UTSA comes into the game ranked No. 38 in the RPI. 

[Jeff Howe]

Texas has something cooking in the bottom of the first. Two on with nobody out after Robbins walks and Tinney singles.

[Jeff Howe]

As I was typing my last post, A-Rod singled to right to load the bases with no outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Doza draws a bases-loaded walk. Robbins scores and it's 1-0 lead for the Longhorns.

[Jeff Howe]

UTSA is making a pitching change with the bases loaded and one out. Texas has a 1-0 lead.

[Jeff Howe]

An RBI sacrifice fly to deep center by Larson makes it 2-0 in favor of the Longhorns.

[Jeff Howe]

It's first and third with two outs for the Longhorns and Borba is up.

[Jeff Howe]

After Doza steals second, Borba comes through with RISP against UTSA's Blayne Lyne. A single through the left side makes it 4-0, Texas.

[MarkInAustin]

Just like that...

[Jeff Howe]

It's a four-run, three-hit first for the Longhorns against the Roadrunners.

End of 1: Texas 4, UTSA 0

Good Lord…

[Class of 04]

Ethan Walker needs to not ever play baseball again.

These Tuesday pitchers for Texas are just batting practice at this point.

Jfc. I’m so happy this is the last time I have to watch this team play defense and pitch on a Tuesday.

Unfortunately we would need these guys to pitch in a regional or potential Omaha game. Not good

[BurntOrangeDriller]

I’d rather watch that ridiculous Jim Adler commercial for 4 hours than watch this team play UTSA ever again 

[Lock n Horns]

If ur gonna wear a porn star stache you gotta be able to back it up.

Yup. Bad roster management imo. There's so many quality arms in the portal, how is this the product youre putting out there.

Teams use the same 5-6 pitchers the entire postseason. Back to back games, 3 days in a row, all of it:
 

So no, they won’t be needed.

…and also we’re toast the moment we get in post-season loser’s bracket.
