There is an old saying, practice makes perfect. Playing in a game helps you get rid of the butterflies.
Here is another example. Sark isn't going to start a freshman just so they can develop. Why would Pierce?

You mean Sark uses practice to develop players. Novel idea. Mean while Horns are introuble.

Make that big trouble.

College football and baseball are very different regarding developing players in games. Football, used to be, 1 loss and your championship hopes are gone. With the expanded playoff, expect to see more backups getting developed in game. A loss doesn't end your season and if things go well you could be playing 16-17 games and need to keep starters healthy.

What in the world happened tonight in Manhattan? Bottom of the 2nd and our ace just fell apart and bullpen didn't do much to get out of the jam.

IMO relief pitching was a give up. Game got out of hand with no chance of a comeback.

Then brought i one of best relievers to pitch a inning might have saved him for todays game

The importance of winning the Tuesday games and series during the season means you make a regional and hopefully host one, along with a super.

Horns winning a slugfest up by 3 top of 9 th bases loaded o outs.

 

[tejasrulz]

With the game tied at 11, Texas scores a FG and a TD late in the game to win it 21-11.

 

[82Horn]

Texas won 21~11. Starting pitching has struggled both nights, Hurley struggled out of pen. Main thing was getting the win, need a win tomorrow to stay right at top of Big 12 race.

 

[RunRickyRun]

Great win!

 

[82Horn]

Great win!

Broke a 10 game win streak by Kansas State.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Little offsubject but K. St. must have oneslick fielding SS. Batting under .200

Pierce needs to fire himself as the pitching coach.

 

[tejasrulz]

I'm going to complain again. Why is an infielder, flirting with Mendoza line starting at 2nd in the batting order? This is the kind of stuff that gets you fired. Just ask the Rangers manager that started Mendoza enough for him to qualify for a batting title.

Actually this appears to have been a good move by Peirce to start Kennedy over O'Dowd. Kennedy is hitting .235 w/an on base % of .339, O'Dowd is hitting .187 w/an on base % of .241.

 

[82Horn]

Kennedy also has better range at second base and covers a lot of ground. He is having a very productive series in manhattan including today.

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect. - V. Lombardi

...or was it Curt Henning?

 

[Bear19]

Pierce needs to fire himself as the pitching coach.

And 3rd base coach.

 

[RunRickyRun]

And 3rd base coach.

Just get rid of him completely.

 

[tejasrulz]

Horns take the rubber match 6-3 to win the series at K St!

 

[82Horn]

Texas has won first 3 conference series. 6~3 in conference tied with Kansas State one game behind 7~2 Oklahoma. Texas has won 2 of its 3 conference series away from home.
