OTF Premium Baseball: No. 1 Texas vs. Texas A&M game thread (Friday)

[CJ Vogel]

There won't be a hotter ticket in Austin, Texas, this weekend than that of the series occurring at Disch-Falk Field.

Jim Schlossnagle and the No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns are set to host Texas A&M for a three-game set this weekend, first pitch at 7 p.m. on SEC Network.

Live thread for game one of the series.

I applaud you for kicking this party off early.

[Hookem1012]

I’ll be at tomorrow’s game. I try to go to one game a year and there’s zero chance that I’d miss beating little brothers ass.

I just came here to say fvck aggy

What a Friday for Texas athletics.  2nd round of the draft + Lone Star Diamond Showdown + Red River Softball.

For those of you on your way to the stadium, there’s currently a lightning delay. The stadium gates haven’t opened and pregame has been delayed.

[Jeff Howe]

The game hasn't been delayed, I was just told. It's still a 7:02 scheduled first pitch.

[Jeff Howe]

The rain is coming down hard now.

[CJ Vogel]

Gates to open back up at 6:45 p.m.

The game isn't starting at 7. Nothing available right now on a start time.

A visible lightning strike resets the clock.

[Jeff Howe]

7:45 is the earliest the game will start.

[Jeff Howe]

The earliest first pitch will now be 8:05 p.m.

[Jeff Howe]

Jonah Williams (hamstring) is listed as a game-time decision on the SEC injury report. I'm told he's available to play tonight.

[Jeff Howe]

The teams are on the field warming up. It'll be an 8:05 first pitch.

Have you seen the line up?

[Burnt Orange Horn]

I am surprised there is an 8:05 PM start. 

I hope Jonah does not aggravate his hamstring on a slippery field.

It hasn't been posted yet. All I know is I've been told Jonah isn't starting.

Lineup-  Mendoza (DH), Galvan, Flores, Gasparino, Schuessler, Borba, Farmer, Rodriguez (lf), Duplantier (2b).  I was hoping that Duplantier would not start because he can’t hit his weight or the Mendoza line (no offense to Ethan Mendoza).  Riojas starting.
