What’s the line?

[Califashorn75]

Tennessee has three stud pitchers. Tough out. Hopefully,  our hitters can get on base.

Yeah, they’ve got three good pitchers. Cool. Make them throw 20‑pitch innings and suddenly they’re not so mythical. Texas gets runners on, and those ‘studs’ start sweating

[CJ Vogel]

Let's get going!

 

[CJ Vogel]

First out of the game comes on a dribbler back to the mound. Kavan then gets the second out on one pitch.

[LonghornFan4Ever]

That inning was a pitcher’s dream.  Very few pitches thrown to get those three outs.

[Buck Travis]

The ladies were loose and having fun in warm ups. Should be crisp today.

[Alex Butler]

Anyone else think Katie Stewart has a little Jeff Ontiveros in her movement at first base and at the plate?

[Hank South]

Let's go! 

[CJ Vogel]

Disastrous 2nd inning for Kavan.

3-0 Tennessee.

[CJ Vogel]

Free base

Free base

Home run to dead center.

Couple of runs will probably win this.

I was on delay. Wow, thinking big picture, I might put in Guttierez and save Kavan. Doubt we score 3 today with Pickens being held for relief .

Probably conversations to be had if you are Coach White and Texas doesn't find home plate here soon.

[Califashorn75]

This team will battle back. 

[Califashorn75]

That was played horribly. 

[CJ Vogel]

Sloppy sloppy start.

[akhookem]

Why do you not throw the ball there

[HonkEm]

these damn first game miseries again

[utx2]

Just a mental blunder.  Happens but unfortunately it is a big game.    Keep battling
