PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUP
TUESDAY–Texas RHP Tanner Witt (0-0, 2.25) vs. Texas A&M RHP Chris Cortez (1-0, 1.86)

THE MATCHUP—Texas returns home to UFCU Disch-Falk Field to host Texas A&M on Tuesday. The Longhorns lead the all-time series with the Aggies, 245-130-5 dating back to 1903. Texas snapped a four-game losing streak to the Aggies with a win last season in College Station. This marks the final non-conference meeting for the in-state rivals, with Texas moving to the SEC starting next season.

A LOOK AT THE LONGHORNS—Texas looks to bounce back after a tough weekend at the Astros Foundation College Classic in Houston. The Longhorns had a strong offensive weekend, averaging eight runs per game and launching nine total home runs. The pitching staff had a tough weekend, posting a 9.69 ERA in the three games and allowing eight homers. The Longhorns have gotten great production from the top of the lineup through the first 11 games, with Jared Thomas batting .476 with six doubles, one homer and 16 runs scored. Peyton Powell is batting .435 with five doubles, a triple, four homers and 18 RBI. Jalin Flores has also had a nice start, with five doubles, five homers and 15 RBI.

Witt looked pretty good against LSU on Friday night.  Hopefully he can go out and have another good outing tonight.  This team desperatley needs him to become a significant piece of the pitching rotation. 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

Whatever the outcome, this will encompass my thoughts on aggy:

 

[tx 3 putt 76863]

More college baseball at its best. Go out and get this W. Yall better be loud out there !!!!

 

[tx 3 putt 76863]

 

[tx 3 putt 76863]

Also, never forget …

 

[tx 3 putt 76863]

Burn it to the ground ….

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

It's every bit as nefarious as the communist plot to sap and impurify our bodily fluids through the fluoridation of water.

[ztejas 43411]

How the fuck are we still ranked?

Saw that Yeti Yard is students only tonight. Some may not like it, but it solves what I assumed was going to be a problem when playing teams with fans who would show up there. Good solution and creates an actual student section

Been pretty much frat boys the last two Tuesdays. And last week they were getting their spots at 5 o'clock when it first opened. No doubt more of the same tonight.

Big ticket holders, so yes. Also frees up more GA seating which is a problem when students show up for their 1-2 games a year and displace lots of GA season ticket holders.

The Shank Skanks? 

[Steel Shank 9421]

I'd hit it.

[zlavydra 2119]

Borba playing 1b

[Hookem2147 21188]

I can't say I fully understand Pierce's insistence on getting Borba in the lineup over playing O'Dowd at 1B and Kennedy at 2B, or Thomas at 1B with Gasparino in CF and another bat DH'ing.

But I guess Borba hasn't been horrible. 

[Horn80 6114]

Texas Fight!

[petscii 1189]

It's Tanner time!  LFG.

Once a young player makes an error under Pierce they are toast for a long time.   Borba will disappear if he makes a game changing error just like Kennedy did.

[Fletch 5800]

So how long a leash does Tanner get tonight? What about pitcht count? I’d give him a max or 60 tonight 

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

Tonight is going to be the best or worst thing to happen to Witt.

 

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

95 first pitch??

[D3zii 3675]

Adrenalin 

[Hookem2147 21188]

Would it kill Schuessler to frame a pitch every once in a while 

[Hondo 682]

95mph fastball and his curveball is 78mph.  If he can tunnel and doesn't otherwise tip it, that's significant.

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

Adrenalin 

I will take it.

 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Let’s fuck them up gents 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Hook em!!  Let's kick some Aggy ass!

And the Oscar goes to ......

[jimmyjazz 45879]

Ouch, that looked a little dramatic until I saw the lump.  That hurt.

[Hondo 682]

Ouch.  That looks nasty.  Guess if you're gonna walk him on 3-2, you might as well go inside.  He'll be off the plate next AB.

[NorthLoop 14180]

That left a mark

[WBT 20561]

Don't leave your arm hanging out there if you can't take it.

Fucking aggy

[MontereyMX 869]

got him

 

[Hookem2147 21188]

Gotta throw strikes against this team. Schlossnagle’s DNA is just to have guys stand up there and not swing.

[David Dennison 18841]

Great.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Goddamnit. 

[Horn80 6114]

Not good.

[zlavydra 2119]

113.8 exit velocity

[WBT 20561]

Still can't believe this dumbass left Stanford for aggy

[D3zii 3675]

Hopefully the bats came to work today 

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

In a hole early.  

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

Fuck Montgomery, fuck Stanford, fuck our top 3 NIL that pulls relievers from Baylor

Shid why not?? They’re winning and look to this point to have a promising season

[HuntinHorn 975]

Fuck Tanner.....  just lay it out for him there.   2-0

[Hondo 682]

Really only one bad pitch.  Shake it off and burn 'em down in the 2nd.

Edited March 6 by Hondo

[Hookem2147 21188]

The ball does seem to be jumping out of Witt’s hand better than previous outings
