Texas vs. Kansas State: Austin Regional elimination game thread

[Jeff Howe]

It’s do or die for the Longhorns.

Schloss has made some lineup adjustments for today’s elimination game against Kansas State (2 p.m., ESPN).

I can do without.

[Zachery Nelson]

How confident are we ? I’m not at all 

I’m nervous 

2 games today if we win the first one and then another tomorrow 😭 if we win both 

our bullpen will be taxed and our depth isn’t deep at all

In the immortal words of Vincent Paul Young Jr., “Let your 🥜 hang!”

The time is now!

Jonah Williams is DHing. He didn't look 100% on the base paths last night. But his bat is too valuable to leave out with the offense sputtering a bit.

[MarkInAustin]

If Jonah were at full speed he would be useful batting leadoff or second.

[horns96]

Inning by inning 🤘

[JMarquette]

Ready to be hurt again

I would agree, especially with how aggressive he normally is on the base paths. He and Mendoza would be a great tandem to lead games off with.

I'm not picking on anyone, but I want to clearly state that if the 2025 college baseball season ends in the next 3-4 hours, I won't spend it worrying and being nervous about what might happen.

I'm going to enjoy the hell out of the ride, however long it lasts.

[Hookem1012]

Just play sound baseball and whatever happens, happens.

Same but I really hope this isn’t the case lol

Can't play any worse then they did last night

Next years goals, this team isn’t done yet.

Winning is hard...

Ok, ok. I'll stop. 🤣

[Jeff Howe]

The game will start on ESPNEWS. It'll switch over to ESPN whenever the Clemson-Kentucky game is done.

[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns are the designated visiting team for this game. They're in their dugout, but wearing their road grays and batting first.

Agree. This team has exceeded my expectations especially with the injuries. 

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza doubles to center to get things started for the Longhorns in the top of the first.

[El Pancho]

Never would have imagined this season a year ago. Hope the season lasts a few weeks longer!

[f1revo]

Getting A Rod out of the infield is definitely beneficial 

[AJJ_Sports]

Win any way
