Thomas is hitting the ball with authority. Flores, not so much, but you have to wonder if he would have shown the same improvement with the number of reps Thomas has had.

I know of it but never seen it happen.  Weird

Gotcha. If the ball is put in play, you can take the result of the play if you so choose. Other than in little league, I don’t recall seeing a ball put in play though.

Powell hitting again.
EK hitting again.
PB waking up after his crappy weekend.
Jack O showing off his MLB wares
DC doing his thing
Hurley back
Sthele back
Morehouse maybe back
LBJ arriving
Gordon getting his bad game out of the way

Texas will probably go to LSU regional.

Do we think Pierce stuck with Thomas because he felt there were no other options or saw enough to say it’s just a matter of time?

He was a goofy motherfucker on first in the beginning but I think Pierce saw something. He also saw a bunch of lefties out the gate which wasn’t the best situation for freshman to be in.

All true.

He probably benefited from Flores being so poor too. Had Flores come out strong, Powell probably gets first and never looks back and Flores sticks at 3rd.

Really the other option was Carlson to 3rd and Powell to 1st. Pierce went with Thomas over this one obviously.

I’d go see that, but I still think we end up hosting

Gotta go on a serious run to end the season I think for that to happen.

Nights like tonight are why I think Powell will be back next year. Older guy, don’t think he has a defensive home at the next level and his bat isn’t good enough alone to get him picked in my opinion.

The Flores option of him being good out the gate makes sense until Pierce moves him over to short, Thomas back to first and Powell/Carlson to third/DH.

That'd be a great way to spice up our entrance to the SEC. By telling those stupid fucks they're about to be our new Nebraska.

I’ve thought for most of the year that maybe Thomas’ future home next year would be in the OF, but he’s improved a lot at 1B. Maybe if Powell returns and we get someone like Casey Borba on campus from this class to play 3B, we consider doing it. Would be a nice problem to have.

Stanford.  ;)

I’m always up for Texas-Stanford.  Wish that long time annual three game series would come back.

They all sort of impact each other. Thomas only is where he is because he was allowed to play through the struggles. A huge part of that was Flores hitting .100 and getting himself benched.

Flores has done almost nothing to warrant more play time. I’m fine with him getting it in games like tonight.

Oh yeah I agree about there being limited justification for Flores in terms of playing time. I just think that if Flores did well early it would have impacted Daly more than Thomas.
