Baseball: No. 5 Texas vs. Texas State Game Thread

[Jeff Howe]

Shibley can't make a catch on a sinking liner to right by Flores. Duplantier is on third base, Flores is on first. One out with Galvan at the plate.

[Jeff Howe]

Galvan gets ahead 1-0 as Valentin is called for a pitch clock violation.

[Jeff Howe]

Galvan works the count full.

[Jeff Howe]

Galvan walks. The bases are loaded with one out for Gasparino.

If they pull this off on April Fool’s Day…

[Jeff Howe]

Gasparino is retired near the right-field foul line.

[Jeff Howe]

Two down, bases loaded for Kimble Schuessler.

[Jeff Howe]

Schuessler lines out to second and the game is over.

Texas (23-4, 8-1 SEC) hosts Georgia for a three-game series beginning on Friday.

[JMarquette]

Hopefully tonight was a one off, but Max not being in the lineup just got a lot more concerning.

Need Mendoza to bounce back and Flores to get going.

Agreed 100%.

[cmk4pres]

Max missing is a massive issue 

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss said he expects Galvan will be back behind the plate by Friday. “All the way back” as he put it.

He sounded cautiously optimistic that Adrian Rodriguez will be able to play at some point in the Georgia series.

We had 12 strikeouts against T. State pitching to their 6.  Every time we do that it is more difficult to win.  Losing an excellent all around player like Belyeu is going to hurt due to lack of depth and the failure of Winfield hit at all and strikeout half the time.  We definitely need A Rod healthy again and some backups to step up.

How about some defense? Field the ball and it's no problem.

Agree. We had Max, Mendoza, Flores and Galvan all hitting well. Not to mention some big hits from Gasparino.

I realize Duplantier got a double last night but he is a career .200 hitter. He leadoff an inning with a bunt attempt, would have bunted again with a runner on base but the pitcher was wild and walked him, bunted again on what was ruled a hit. It’s like having a pitcher at the plate….You are basically sacrificing a spot in the lineup.

i would play Winfield and give him some consistent AB’s. He was a top transfer portal addition after hitting over .330 with 10 HR, 40 RBIs, and 18 stolen bases in 54 games at ULM last year.
