PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUPS
TUESDAY–Texas RHP Charlie Hurley (2-0, 7.71) vs. UTA RHP Aaron Calhoun (0-3, 7.92)

Ok, it's not exactly going to be Bob Gibson vs. Sandy Koufax on the mound tonight.

Hurley and our relievers just need to keep them down to 5-7 runs or less.

Coach Pierce is suspended for tonight's game (and Friday's game). How much will that improve the team?

Let Constantine do the coaching. Tulo can still handle the batting.

Decreased offensive output by leaving Schuessler off, other than that, still a dangerous lineup. Hopefully we don't need him offensively.

 

[aUTfan]

Seriously crazy year to think that before the season started we were going to count heavily on the following:

Porter Brown
Jack O'Dowd
Tanner Witt
L.B. Johnson
Will Mercer


And can barely count on one of them (LBJ) through more than half the season.
And yet we are still teetering on the possibility of nearly winning the Big XII or completely collapsing, still unsure yet.

Tonight, Coach Constantine needs to work in Oliver Service for the last 4 innings at DH or any of the OF positions.

Coach Constantine might want to insert himself on the mound if we see similar results as last Tuesday.

To the rear of the 2nd.

Just getting on here and watching the game. Texas up 6-0 in the top of the 5th.

Dup is pitching and he’s dealing, starts us off with a k swinging.

LHN says our damage has been done through the long ball.

 

[aUTfan]

Single to left and then a fly out to center. 1 on, 2 outs.

 

[aUTfan]

K looking to end it.

 

[aUTfan]

Dup looking real sharp every time he comes out.

My pick for closer would be Dup for the 9th inning only.

I know I’ve been down on different parts of this team and many people don’t want to read this but…..

SP (Ace, LBJ, Grubbs), Boehm, Dup.

That could be a winning combo if we can get these SP’s to go 6 full.

Offense stays consistent we could cause some people some real heartburn just by seeing our name in the regional and it would be legit heartburn. (As long as it’s not in college station )

(And maybe not fayetville)

bigtime litmus test this weekend.

Horns go 1,2,3 for the first time in the game.
To the 6th.
