Wow. We are on the final non conference weekend series. Weather will be a big decision on the schedule of playing the games this weekend.

Temo Becerra is a co-player SEC player of the week this week.

It might be a weekend where we learn more about our vets and young pitchers.

Will need to see how the TV and radio calls go this weekend. TV is to be YouTube and radio is Longhorn radio network (streaming from Texas sports.com).

Wait. Is this not a conference series? What am I missing here.

NVM. Missed the upstate part. Duh.

A couple of notes from Friday's game.

17 of the 24 outs were strikeouts for the Texas pitching.

I'm wondering if Tinney and A Rod need a game or 2 off to get refocused at the plate and let any lingering injuries heal more.

As for the Saturday game, will see if it starts at 2 PM or if the weather allows it or if it starts later. Sunday is supposed to start at noon. Same with the weather. Or if they play 2 games on Sunday that are 7 inning games. The key is lightening on delaying the game(s).

Game 2 should be starting shortly. They are starting 2 hrs later than originally scheduled. The main issue is the lightening in some of these storms. Hopefully they have a 3 hr window.

We have Craig, Keith, and coach Ty on radio as Craig will leave at some point to go do the basketball game later tonight
