*****Texas vs Houston Baseball Saturday*****

[joeywa]

I'll be doing PBP again today, and if y'all have any suggestions on how it could be better, please let me know.

First pitch is "scheduled" for 3:35 PM CST, but as you know, that's all dependent upon the early game.

Texas is set to go with RHP Parker French (1-1, 0.82)

Houston has RHP Jake Lemoine (1-0, 0.00) on the hill.

Beer is a staple on the menu here in the booth. And Kaylee, well, let's just say she digs me.

we need a great outing out of parker today. just like the one we got from dillon last night. i could do without the ninth inning drama, however.
