Jim

I think he hit over .300 his freshman year so last year could’ve been some growing pains trying to tap into his power. It seems like the staff is confident he’s going to square up the baseball better next year.

The sample size against SEC pitching is small but shows he has a chance to be successful.

So Texas should defund one of the most historic programs in the country because you prefer basketball over baseball? How many national championships has basketball won? You want to turn one of the greatest programs into mediocre status to add to a sport who doesn’t carry the resume baseball does. Might as well go after swimming and softball too.

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.

Volantis getting squeezed

This Team was not going 53-0. Yeah it sucks to lose especially with a lead in the ninth. They were bound to drop a game like this eventually. The offense had way too many K's , and the pitching couldn't hold a lead in the ninth. The guys could've packed it in after they blew the lead in the ninth, but they scraped out a run to send it to extras. Burns came in and shut them down in the eighth but right now he struggles going more then one inning. Ruger not getting out of the fifth changed how Shloss had to use the bullpen. I think the run rule games kinda hurt the bullpen not getting guys innings to figure out who can do what and who can't. Grubbs is most concerning to me last year he'd give you three or four innings to get the game to Volantis. I'm not sure we have another guy who can do that too not only save arms but not having to rely on stretching guys out too long and having to use guys out of their normal role.The guy going for Ole Miss is pretty dam good so Texas needs to bring their A game.

He don't get cheated either

Baylor outfielders have their backs up against the fence. We can't seem to get anything over their heads tonight

Tell draws leadoff 4 pitch walk

Watching on youtube Texas Coastal watch party

Only way CJ would've been high on the bottom of the order is if there was a Mateer hitting 7, 8 or 9
