  1. Move Rodriguez to 2B and put Borba at 3B.
  2. Yeah, Borba at second base ain’t gonna work.
  3. 1-0 lead on 3 hit balls that combined to go 120 feet.
  4. Pay I’m pretty sure was a big part of it. Those ESPN+ announcers are making pennies compared to the main network announcers.
  5. May not be hitting for average but Mendoza has the second highest OBP on the team right now and has been handling the bat well. I guess they want to continue to try to Winfield going.
  6. Casey Borba first career start at second base (!) today.
  7. I heard he has a good bat but is still adjusting to this level of pitching. Schloss has said a few times that the front-line guys are going to be playing basically every day outside of maybe catcher. You screw around against Dartmouth or A&M Corpus, and it could be the difference between you hosting or not hosting RPI-wise. Pierce never seemed to have that urgency as he toyed with lineups and rotations early in the season and it cost us in a few seasons.
  8. Wonder if we see Chamberlain or Service behind the plate today. Galvan will be catching every game starting in about 3 weeks, so the time is now to get him off his feet and see what the young pups can do.
  9. Javian Osborne tweeted he is no longer taking an official visit to Texas.
  10. A&M playing in similar weather has 2 hits through 5 innings against Cal Poly
  11. Ethan Mendoza is hitting .182, but I feel like he has been putting together really good ABs all 4 games so far.
  12. Riojas needs to be a bridge guy, not a finish-the-game guy. It's unfortunate he's had 2 rough innings around 5 other innings so far where he has been pretty much dominant.
  13. Yeah, Mendoza should have been waved home. Nolan Cain is an awesome coach and recruiter, but A&M fans used to complain about him coaching third all the time. A portion of that fanbase blames him for Montgomery breaking his leg in the super regional.
  14. Solid situational baseball today from the offense, even if the hits aren't coming.
  15. Riojas is 2025 Gage Boehm
  16. Sucks when the stat-padding series comes when it's 35 degrees with the wind blowing straight in.
  17. Considering his previous title was pass game coordinator/secondary coach, I guess the promotion is he now gets to coach safeties? lol
  18. Struggling to understand OU and UTA postponing a game due to weather that was going be played….at Globe Life. Was there ice or snow in Oklahoma preventing them coming down?
  19. IIRC, Neal Brown called plays his last few years at WVU so Scott being OC was like Kyle Flood being our OC. Of course, it's an out-of-left-field hire, so I won't pretend to know much about the guy, but I'll take it as a positive sign he was retained on a new staff, and he was the interim coach in their bowl game after Brown got fired, so my guess is the players liked him.
  20. 247 (FCB) said this is a name to know. If I remember correctly, Gerry likes this guy and said it was a good hire when Jimbo hired him away from Kiffin a few years ago. https://gamecocksonline.com/sports/football/roster/coach/marquel-blackwell/
  21. Game canceled. Already protecting our RPI. We are SEC ready /s
  22. Houston plays in Round Rock tomorrow and this weekend so it wouldn't be like they came all this way for nothing.
  23. I love baseball but it wouldn't break my heart to see this game rescheduled.
  24. Old friend Woody Williams is the pitching coach at Houston this year after being in an off-field support role last year.
  25. Jason Flores starting for Texas
