A lot of you have asked my opinion on this past weekend. Here's my thoughts:
- Texas going 0-3 this weekend is something I didn't expect, but isn't that surprising. The Horns never do well in these big neutral site contests early on in the season and then seem to get it together as the season progresses and when it matters the most. I will say that a loss to Texas State was a bit shocking, however.
- Choking that game away to Vanderbilt was a bit inexcusable as well. To be up that much and then have 11 unanswered runs scored is not good. At all.
- Pitching HAS TO IMPROVE. Texas has some guys, but their stuff isn't on par with the Wake Forest and LSU's of the world. It isn't elite. Velo is average.
- Catching HAS TO IMPROVE. Was a big question mark coming in and is a question mark today.
- The offense is a lot of fun at times and then sometimes makes me pull my hair out. Need more consistency and clutch moments. Speaking of clutch, I've also had concerns about RISP so far this season and those concerns haven't been alleviated.
- Texas needs to be more active in the portal. It sort of reminds me of Dabo and Clemson. It's there. Take advantage.
- Doing the above would fix a lot of roster balancing issues like this team currently has.
