Pop a tent in college station the circus has arrived

Good win for the fellas. They got tested today and found a way to win a tough grind it out game. I'm sure it was a disappointing game to all the arm chair coaches who expect nothing less then 10 run victories. Hats of to UCSB they scraped all 9 innings. Time to get ready for one of the Oregon teams hook'em

The three hardest outs to get

Ideally for me tomorrow, I’d like to see the combo of Ruger, Burns, Leffew, Crossland, and Cozart close it out.

I thought they might pull him after 90 pitches if he has to go on short rest next week in the opener

His pitch count has past the point of being able to pitch the rest of the weekend so save your arms for tomorrow and possibly Monday. With Ruger and his shoulder tomorrow might be a shorter outing for him. Having all the pen arms available would be a good thing.

It looked like the discomfort was when he raised his arm above his head so it might still be possible for him to swing without some discomfort.

Instead of shuffling the whole infield around, I’d look at moving Gumbo to short and leaving everyone where they’re at. I always thought he was solid defensively but the bat kinda held him back. Just spit balling here but Gumbo is already in the lineup and you have Larson on the bench opens up DH for the young catcher his name escapes me at this moment.

Texas St up on Aggie 4-0 top 2nd

I thought the same thing especially with Burns who right now the second inning of relief has been his kryptonite

Nice response by the guys after the Friday night game. I saw Winter was out this weekend curious how they attack Tuesday. I wouldn't mind seeing Grubbs get the start to see if he can work some things out. We need that guy who can bridge a tight game to the ninth. Cozart looks like he might be able to do that. Would be nice to have another multi inning guy back there.

5 innings

Schools going for the jugular love it.

I remember when people were all over Borba for lack of production after like game 3 of the season

It was a hit and run that was squared up to center. If that ball finds grass or a gap it's2 runs or 1st and 3rd no outs. Unfortunately it was hit right at the centerfielder. I guess you can play safe and go station to station and hope you can put enough hits together. Arod could've just as easily hit into a double play without the steal.
