  1. This is going to be funny when we don’t score and Howard gets the 9th inning
  2. Navarre, Flores and Volantis is the most talented trio of freshman pitchers we’ve had in a long time.
  3. His control was pretty bad in the fall.
  4. So we have 6 pitchers on the roster who still haven’t thrown and Howard, Moffett, Saunier and McCreery are unusable. 30 SEC games are going to be interesting.
  5. You should have to give up your NIL if you walk the leadoff guy after a 7-run inning.
  6. This score is wrong, right? Should be 11-5?
  7. They should have brought in one of their known quantities to put out that fire (Dre? Mercer?) before giving McCreery and Saunier clean innings.
  8. Catch a routine fly ball and none of this happens.
  9. Looking through the box score of the 2024 game against A&M Corpus and I forgot how frustrating that part of the season was. Had a 10 game homestand against Incarnate Word, Washington (x3), Air Force (x2), Baylor (x3) and A&M Corpus and somehow only went 6-4.
  10. Something I was reminded of today is you can only have 27 active players for a conference series in the SEC and you have to declare those 27 guys before each series. We will definitely have some interesting decisions to make. I’m assuming the 27 man roster will be something like: C (3): Galvan, Chamberlain, Service INF (6): Schuessler, Mendoza, Flores, Rodriguez, Borba, Duplantier OF (5): Winfield, Belyeu, Gasparino, Farmer, Richardson or Scott? RHP (7): Riojas, Burns, Duplantier, Grubbs, Flores, Rerick, McCreery, Saunier? LHP (5): Volantis, Spencer, Mercer, Bing, Harrison That is 27 and wouldn’t include some notable guys like Moffett, Hamilton, Tumis, Navarre, Howard, Stewart, etc.
  11. They received the most favorable SEC schedule in the league. No Arkansas, Tennessee, A&M, Florida or Auburn. Got Vandy, LSU and Texas all at home. Drew the tough road series of Missouri, South Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia.
  12. Wells put in a pick for KJ Edwards to Texas. 65% confidence.
  13. https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/baseball/stats/2025 A few things that stick out when looking at the stats through 10 games: -Flores back up over .300 (.306) very quickly -Gasparino is at .220 but it feels like his at bats have been much better than last year for the most part -Chamberlain is 1 for 11 with 7 walks. He doesn’t look overwhelmed but not sure how sustainable that walk rate is. My guess is another DH option will emerge. -I guess you have to give Farmer everyday at bats right now (.286) over Winfield but I hope they keep Winfield in the mix at DH. -Duplantier with the 0.00 ERA because like usual he only allows inherited runners to score before buckling down -Grubbs has been awesome. -.217 batting average against for the entire staff shows how much better the pure stuff is on the mound. If I remember right, last year our batting average against ended up in the .260’s. -We are allowing almost one less walk per 9 innings compared to last year so far
  14. Don’t forget they gave him a lifetime contract a few years ago. No idea what it looks like to get out of that.
  15. Gerry: Two big recruiting notes OnTexasFootball caught up with two of the nations top prospects today. And the news is both good and not so positive. Texas and 5-star Tyler Atkinson … Multiple members of the Texas defensive staff are in a consistent communication with Grayson High (Loganville, Ga.) since the departure of area recruiter Tashard Choice. OnTexasFootball spoke with a member of the 6-2, 210-pounders circle today and the news for the Longhorns was positive. Atkinson remains very likely to make a June OV to Texas - as of today. Atkinson and family continue to have very positive feelings and thoughts about the Texas program. Texas and Javian Osborne … The news with the 4-star++ running back isn’t as positive. A person close to the recruitment has a feeling that Texas isn’t recruiting the DFW area back as hard as others. Texas running back’s coach Chad Scott has spoken with Osborne twice since being hired. Osborne has spring unofficial visits scheduled and to be scheduled to Michigan, Georgia, Miami, Florida State and possibly Alabama.
  16. Hopefully, we will work on finishing run rules at practice this week.
  17. Let’s get 2 right here and end it
  18. Third base defense is a problem and has probably cost us about 8 runs already this year.
  19. Winfield is fighting it bad.
  20. Over/under for this game is 19.5 runs. Ballpark is going to be a launching pad.
  21. Galvan day off and Rodríguez DH. Winfield and Borba in the lineup.
  22. It’s only going to get worse for A&M unless they just plan on overspending out the ass in the portal every year. We kicked their ass for the most part in the 2026 class in-state, including several notable H2H wins. Schloss’ best quality is he knows who to hire. Nolan Cain is maybe the best recruiting coordinator in the country and played 10x the role that Michael Earley played in building those A&M teams. Kirk Saarloos at TCU is another guy he hired who was a recruiting machine. Randy Mazey and Bill Mosiello got P5 HC jobs after working for him at TCU.
  23. They will smoke Rice and it looks like they get Texas southern in the midweek game before hosting New Mexico State and Prairie View A&M. So the rollercoaster is about to creep back up with some false confidence before SEC play.
  24. Schlossnagle has compared Volantis to Prager quite a bit. He looks like a front of the rotation arm maybe as early as next year.
  25. Yes, Oregon put in a reliever named Hody Coward and he gave up the lead.
