Jim Schlossnagle, No. 6 Texas media availability ahead of Missouri series | Wednesday, 12 p.m.

Schloss said Anthony Pack Jr., who is fine now, previously aggravated his wrist throwing a medicine ball in the weight room.

Schloss: “Most soft tissue injuries are somebody’s fault.”

Unfortunately, Texas isn’t dealing with a ton of those, which makes it tougher to explain some of the ailments.

Schloss said the players are having to push through a lot right now, but…

”You want to be a pro player? Well, here it is, buddy,” he said.

If the team wants to get to Omaha, their habits and work needs to reflect that.

”If not,” he said, “then shame on you.”

Schloss doesn’t know who will start at second base as of right now. Gumbo, Becerra and Early are all under consideration.

Schloss likes the way Cody Howard and Brody Walls are trending.

Schloss likes where the Longhorns are at with Burns, Cozart, Crossland and Leffew.

Schloss said they might audition a fourth starter next week. If one doesn’t emerge, the role of the fourth starter will be matchup dependent.

Schloss and Max Weiner pushed Haiden Leffew on Sunday because they wanted to get a look at him in that role and the series unfolded in such à way that it made sense.

Schloss said Temo Becerra has made some swing changes lately. His aucccess though, Schloss said, has a lot to do with not over swinging and going back to being a contact hitter first and foremost.
