just now catching up on the dvr. the Faltine and Melendez bombs were 👀. two completely different no-doubt shots. i clocked Faltine's HR at 3.80 seconds from his bat to landing. 

I'm guessing Melendez's has yet to land.

First career start. He’ll get better every start and be untouchable come the postseason 

yeah, he'll have to learn to pace himself as a starter.  not looking to K every guy.

I'm sure he was a bit jacked up starting out.

Oh easily. A year as the gap/set up guy then transitioning to a starter takes a sec to get used to. By conference play he’ll be settled in and ready for 6-8 inning outings. He’s got that Ruffin type demeanor on the mound. Love it

You can't one and done in baseball...
Unless you mean you hope they don't make a rule change allowing it. 

Yeah, I’m aware. I hope they don’t change it.

The one and done was specific to basketball but now the Portal and transfers make it more difficult for me as a fan to get as excited about the team. The portal will increase one and dones across all sports. My hope is that baseball is not as heavily impacted.

Take Eric Kennedy for example. My guess is some on here woulda replaced him with a one year mercenary, if there was that possibility. And I realize Jucos and Grad transfers have been a thing.

But ultimately this team is built on guys that originally chose Texas. For me, that results in more ownership of the team, if that makes sense.

The question is always instead of who.

Right now, it's Campbell. Those 2 and Messinger and Todd will push each other for ABs.

Maybe he will play 3rd until Messinger gets out of concussion protocol after that K

Be surprised if he didn’t get a concussion.

Messinger swing looks just like Josh Donaldson’s

He swung at pitch that hit him in the forehead 

 

Skyler might need his eyesight checked...   WOW

Does Rice have any pitchers left?  Got to come back around to some of those Friday relievers we saw you would think.

Maybe we can let them use one or two of ours. Would get the game moving along and get more of our own some work.

Pitching coach should’ve just signed up for a marathon with how many times he’s had to walk back and forth between mound and dugout

Idk - but you'd figure Pierce empties the bench a bit here. No sense in running this up any further.

Time to put Kash, Schuessler, O’Dowd and maybe Powell in the game

Only 3 1/2 more innings to go…

the northern teams that have been playing pepper on the basketball court all January do t look as bad as rice pitching has. 

Is there a run rule today? I’d guess not considering they just need to get back to Houston, not Morgantown

That dude has been moving around the whole game every 5-10 minutes and sitting in open seats. 
He is leading chants though.

So is the run rule in effect since it is a Sunday game or is that only for Big 12 games?

That is a B12 rule but I believe coaches can agree on a run rule. I doubt there is one in place here with it being opening weekend and Rice only having to travel back to Houston.

Witt is supposed to be so great, but right now he’s got the 2nd worst era on the team. 

But that #1 worst ERA!  27.00!
