  1. During this time Texas would play multiple double headers starting like on the Thursday before Spring Break and play every day till the end of Spring Break. Gus would use anybody he could find as a starting pitcher. He brought goys over from the basketball team that pitched in high school. Anybody on the team that pitched in high would get a starting role too. It was a lot of baseball in a short amount of time, but for many of us it was a lot of fun too. It made for some long games with many being high scoring, with the type of pitching used. Texas usually won all those games against teams like Emporia State. Southwestern, and even Schreiner. That Scheiner game took forever. Lamar's pitching staff looked like control artists compared to Schreiner. The Mountaineer pitchers walked 23 Longhorn batters in that game which I am sure is still the record for Texas opponents. Starting pitchers for Texas at the time were littered with future MLB starters. Calvin was the ace, then Mike Capel. Others were Wade Phillips, Erich Boudreaux, Bruce Ruffin, and an emerging star named Roger Clemens. Complete games were more common then. Texas did have a very good closer that came out of the outfield and was a good hitter too. That was Kirk Killingsworth. Good times that are long gone but not forgotten.
  2. Here's the entire 3rd and Longhorn video that featured Ruger Riojas, Calvin Schiraldi, and Keith Moreland. Calvin who I got to know well when he played for Texas and his Aggy family. Great competitor and could have easily had a World Series ring in MLB to go along with his CWS one. He will always be part of history with that little ground ball that Buckner misplayed to cost Boston a championship. Schiraldi was the starting pitcher in that game. Calvin also talks about his battle with alcoholism and tells good stories about Coach Gus. Kieth Moreland talks about his long baseball career as a player, coach, and broadcaster. He also tells stories about Coach Gus and Coach Royal when Keith also played football for Texas.
  3. What was an ugly close game turns into an easy win late. Need for the bats to keep going on the weekend and have the pitching to return to form also.
  4. Can Gasparino break out too against this guy?
  5. Found a pitcher we like.
  6. When Borba makes contact it usually goes a long way.
  7. What is the deal with those patches on the Lamar jersey's, some say SLC, for Southland Conference, others are just blacked out.
  8. There's some work to do at the Disch still too.
  9. Couldn't get another clutch walk.
  10. One more walk for the big rally.
  11. We have a guy with a broken thumb and a few that mostly bat like they have the same injury.
  12. BIG APE printed on this pitcher's glove but throws frisbee balls.
  13. Howard can heat it up when he wants to, mid 90's.
  14. All our pitchers can really field their position.
  15. Texas has 12 LOB so far.
  16. We don't need no stinking hits, maybe.
  17. This is what you do when you're going bad, to get you going.
  18. Wildness on both sides is the theme so far.
  19. Been better to have let Howard start that inning clean.
  20. HBP is the free space on the bingo card every game. Howard mania time.
  21. See my post above yours. Trifecta was just coming up three times with the bases loaded and two outs.
  22. Walker is marathon man now.
  23. Same results again for Williams, twice an out and one an infield single.
  24. Williams gets the trifecta on the bases loaded with two outs.
