***Official Texas vs Tech Weekend Baseball Thread SU 1 PM LHN***

[joeywa]

Let’s get the important stuff out of the way first. Pierce said today that McCann is ready to play this weekend. Also, FR/SA rotation will be Elder & Henley with SU starter to be decided once they see where the series sits after the start of the weekend. I think the performance that Madden gave in Stanford gives him some more options to consider.

McCann being back is huge. I really like his work, but where his bruising is is why they are called the tools of ignorance. 

 

[joeywa]

Should be a special night at The Disch with this being the one year anniversary of Augie's passing.

Pierce pre-game comments

"Mentally we know what to expect.  It's going to be a hard fought weekend against a quality team."

"Had a great BP today, ready to go."

"His (McCann's) leadership is so good and he is so good with the pitchers.  Caston did a great job growing up in the last 3 game, so he's ready if we need him."

on Tech "Very physical.  They do all the little things.  Play great defense.  Very balanced."

 

[Oldmanastro]

Better bats and defense will go a loooong way. Get the first game of the series would be big.
