  1. Gumbo said that he’s continued to work with the infielders throughout the season to stay sharp. The work has come in handy now that he’s manning second base with Ethan Mendoza on the mend.
  2. On why he didn’t transfer out of the program, Duplantier said he wanted to be at a place where he could win and succeed. He bet on himself and he’s got a key role on this team heading into the postseason. ”There is was no point in trying to leave this place,” he said.
  3. “It’s definitely flown by super fast,” Gumbo said of his time at Texas.
  4. Jayden Duplantier said the Longhorns weren’t shaken up by the Tennessee series, but he said the Longhorns learned a lot about themselves. ”It was a good kick in the tail,” he said.
  5. That’s it from Riojas. Hopefully, we’ll get word from Schloss on the rotation for the Missouri series.
  6. On his pitch selection, Riojas said he and Max Weiner haven’t talked about narrowing down his pitch selection or simplifying things. He believes the variety he brings to the mound is one of his biggest assets.
  7. Riojas on how he feels about the season winding down: “The end hasn’t come yet. I don’t want it to end yet.”
  8. Riojas isn’t sure why the first inning has been a struggle for him lately. He thinks he might be too calm to start the game.
  9. “I don’t want to say that I’m unlucky or anything, but baseball is such a random game,” Riojas said when asked about why things haven’t gone his way lately.
  10. On his arm soreness issue, Riojas said he feels fine. He believes it’s just the heavy workload that a starter goes through that’s led to the soreness. He said he’s fine and ready to pitch however much the Longhorns need him to the rest of the way.
  11. Ruger Riojas said the Longhorns aren’t thinking about a national seed this weekend. ”The goal is to win,” he said. “That’s it.”
  12. We're moments away from getting started, live from the third-base dugout at the Disch.
  13. AUSTIN, Texas — Ahead of No. 6 Texas welcoming Missouri to UFCU-Disch Falk for the final three-game series of the regular season, Jim Schlossnagle and the Longhorns will meet with the media. Wednesday’s availability is on the eve of Texas (36-12, 16-10 SEC) hosting the Tigers in Thursday’s series opener (6:30 p.m., SEC Network+). The Longhorns are tied with No. 10 Texas A&M in the conference standings and remain in contention for a Top 8 national seed in the NCAA Tournament. D1Baseball.com’s latest field of 64 projections have Texas clinging to a Top 8 seed, with the Longhorns slotted as the No. 6 overall seed in the tournament (Texas is one of four SEC clubs currently projected to be a national seed, which means one of the eight roads to Omaha would go through the Forty Acres).

  15. I’ll post some of my Astros stuff later.
  16. That's still a good series win, though. Same with Mississippi State, which plays A&M this weekend with a national seed potentially on the line.
  17. I just got this damage replacement back from Topps today. Kon Knueppel Season Tipoff Gold Holofoil /50 from Topps Flagship. I pulled it out of a value box in October. It had a mangled corner, so I sent it in. Took way longer than the 10-14-week estimated time, but Topps took care of it.
  18. Only two of the three. Texas lost to Texas A&M, beat Auburn and Alabama.
  19. FWIW, Baseball America also has Texas as a Top 8 heading into the final weekend of the regular season.
  20. Kendall Rogers and the folks at D1Baseball.com have the Longhorns projected to be the No. 6 overall national seed in the NCAA Tournament. Texas does have a series loss to one projected national seed (Texas A&M), but the Longhorns have series wins over Auburn (No. 4) and Alabama (No. 7).
