He's played with it since returning. Some days a better than others for him.

[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns are down to their last strike.

[Jeff Howe]

Flores makes it three consecutive flyouts to center to end the game.

Texas is one-and-done in Hoover. The Austin Regional is next.

F/12: Tennessee 7, Texas 5

Time to rest up and fix a few swings.

[Jeff Howe]

Get back home, get off your feet for a couple of days and get ready for next weekend.

Hoping nothing was aggravated there from Rodriguez. That was an awkward swing right before the flyout. The exact reason why I have no issue losing early in these tournaments. 

[bourbasted]

I saw enough.  Good fight, good roster management by Schloss, onto the real deal.  Get rested, work out some kinks and away we go.

Never happy to lose but glad we can come home and rest up, and not risk an injury such as the aggie lavaletski. A guess they play these things for cash but really a relic that needs to go.

Not too upset because I feel like we are playing with house money this year.  But Is this an offense that can make a run?  We strike out a lot and bottom of order is too easy an out imo. I want to believe. Puts a lot of pressure on our pitching. Somebody give me some hope.

That's a win if we gave a sh!t. Pretty promising debut for that new pitcher.

We strike out too much and weren't deep in pitching before the injuries.  Winning the SEC in year one exceeds all expectations.  Making it for the 39th time to CWS in year 1 will be whatever is beyond icing on a the cake.

Not upset at all by early exit in tournament.   Give the full team some meaningful time to mend up, benefit from lengthy rest and recovery time before the ncaa tournament.

Regardless how far we go in the real tournament starting next week, this season has far exceeded expectations and sets the foundation for bigger things next season with additions from portal and #1 recruiting class.  Still can’t believe we won SEC in year 1.

Hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼
