Texas vs. Kansas State: Austin Regional elimination game thread

[Jeff Howe]

Riojas is up to 72 pitches. Going the distance probably isn't reasonable, but he needs to keep eating innings.

[Jeff Howe]

I want to see good, competitive at-bats. Don't start swinging out of your shoes now.

[Jeff Howe]

Rodriguez gets hit by a pitch in the leg to lead off the sixth for the Longhorns.

[qaertyisthatdude]

This pitcher’s name is Slack lol

[SuperDave0805]

Whats the Texas RBI in a game record?

[Jeff Howe]

Adam Arthur isn't doing much better than JJ Slack for K-State. He walked Flores and then gave up an RBI single to Jonah Williams.

As I was typing that out, Borba singled to left to bring Flores home.

Texas has a 13-3 lead with two on and nobody out in the top of the sixth.

Gumbo Duplantier, pinch running for Williams, scores from third on a sacrifice fly by Gasparino.

 

[Jeff Howe]

Mendoza grounded into an inning-ending double play, but the Longhorns scored three runs in the sixth to take an 11-run lead to the home half.

[Jeff Howe]

M6: Texas 14, K-State 3

[Jeff Howe]

At this point, do you think about moves like getting Galvan off his feet, if you're Schloss?

[f1revo]

Should allow us to ride Ruger till his arm near falls off.

[Jeff Howe]

It's a 14-run, 15-hit day for the Longhorns with K-State batting in the bottom of the sixth.

@Jeff Howe are there any arms we haven’t seen much of this season that you expect to see later today/tomorrow? Could we see Jonah on the mound? 

[Hookem1012]

It’s amazing what playing sound baseball can do.

[Jeff Howe]

Whether Riojas has found his swing-and-miss stuff or K-State is trying to get out of here (a little bit of both, I think), doesn't matter. This is what Texas needed from Ruger.

I would say there's almost no chance you'll see Jonah on the mound, but he's worked there some.

Jason Flores is up now, FWIW. He hasn't pitched in a while.

[HookemChappy]

We need these bats tonight against UTSA. 

 

[Jeff Howe]

With a 1-2-3 sixth, Riojas is up to 88 pitches through six.

[HookemChappy]

Who is going to be pitching tonight?

End of 6: Texas 14, K-State 3

I think he should get Galvan out and resting

My guess would be Grubbs gets the start, but I have no idea.

[Jeff Howe]

Galvan is done for this game. Cole Chamberlain is hitting for him to lead off the seventh.

Riojas had retired 12 in a row before hitting Flores with a pitch. 

We needed this type of game for him , wonder who gonna pitch next game
