  1. Y'all should have seen the run Kirk Johnson had at practice today before Naashon Hughes ran a 4.3 from the other side of the field and prevented an 80-yard TD.
  2. Absolutely pointless to play these types of games against SWAC schools. You don't learn anything about yourself and it only drags down your RPI and SOS.
  3. Casey Borba has quietly filled in really nicely in the middle of the order since Belyeu and ARod went out. Taking his walks, putting together good AB’s, hitting for power.
  4. The first Tuesday I can remember without any wind blowing out.
  5. He was sitting 84-85 that last batter. I don’t think they liked what they saw.
  6. Was thinking Matt Scott or even throwing Jonah Williams a bone, but hey, if you can get a bunt down and not strike out half the time I could be talked into it.
  7. Wonder if this might be a night we see something different in LF. Like someone other than Winfield or Duplantier.
  8. A&M and Florida. Combined 4-20 in SEC play.
  9. Vokietaitas shot more free throws last year than any player on the Texas roster despite only playing 17.6 minutes per game. Sounds like he gets to the line a ton but also fouls a lot himself.
  10. Farmer reaches, Duplantier sac bunt and Mendoza walk off
  11. Collarbone, right? I just don’t think it’s realistic to expect contributions from a guy who went 8 months without swinging a bat and should be a senior in HS.
  12. If it was up to Surly we would have starters pulled by the 3rd inning about every other game. Pitching depth isn’t endless.
  13. Do we know the freshman are talented? I don’t think they would be purposely holding back more talented players in favor of Jayden Duplantier. I don’t think any of those freshman outfielders are ready.
  14. Gerry said Texas leads. Missed last season with a knee injury. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4897052/lassina-traore
  15. UTSA is quietly up to #31 in RPI. 7-2 in the AAC with series wins over solid FAU and UAB teams. It may not happen this week but they might be another good week away from cracking the top 25. Texas State is also just outside the top 100 in RPI, which is the cutoff for Q4 games so it would be nice if they snuck inside that mark to make that loss sting a little less. We have quite a few midweek games left against top 100 RPI teams: Houston Christian, Lamar and UTRGV at home + the road game at Texas State. This midweek schedule has turned out to be more challenging than I thought a few months ago.
  16. Harrison fighting his way into the 6th inning despite not having his best stuff was massive and sets up well for tomorrow.
  17. Harrison and Grubbs piggyback should be good enough. 3 earned in 5 innings against Georgia ain’t horrible.
  18. I don’t really look at our rotation like that. Riojas might be the second best pitcher on the team and is better than every Sunday starter in the league, but there is value in keeping him in a swing role with the option to start once a week. When we get into a postseason format we won’t deploy guys like we do now.
  19. That throw from Farmer was horrible and forced Mendoza to waste time doing a weird spin around relay.
  20. I really think Gasparino has the chance to be a special player here. We are seeing it now and maybe it doesn’t fully come together until next year, but he has all 5 tools at a premium position. You can tell Tulo finally has him in a good spot compared to last year when he would seemingly go up to the plate every at bat with a different stance.
  21. Duplantier legitimately did not start his swing until the ball was in the glove
  22. He has tools and will probably be drafted in the top 5 rounds in July, but Flores feels like a guy who is going to get eaten alive by breaking balls in pro ball.
  23. Not even close to a strike
  24. Obviously these guys are getting paid and aren’t returning for free, but it’s nice to see that a good chunk of the guys with eligibility left are wanting to stay. Would be pretty easy to bounce after a shitty season and a few of them would have been in pretty good demand by other teams. Schloss was able to do something similar on the baseball side retaining players and those returning guys have helped set the table in year 1 for what is to come.
  25. He is playing third base for Kansas State, FWIW. IIRC, he was committed to A&M years ago and Schloss basically dropped him when he took the job in 2022. So I doubt he was very interested in playing for him here.
