Texas vs WVU Game 1 Thread ***Friday 6 PM CST***

[Matt Cotcher]

Something to watch tonight; last year Tres was fired up at WVU for trying to steal signs. 

He does seem to be extra juiced. That K fired him up big time.

WVU program says Dotson weighs 190 pounds. He must've been wearing lead socks.

2 Out Knocks have been the theme of this season thus far.  Guys are driving runs in often with 2 down. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

CJ = el hombre.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

2nd time through the order is a lot different for Dotson. He's young - he'll learn.

 

[joeywa]

CJ = el hombre.

CJ needed that hit in a BIG way!  Good to see him get something going. 

2nd time through the order is a lot different for Dotson. He's young - he'll learn.

Yeah, freshman P really lost command some in B3, and was all over the place.  If the Texas hitters can be patient they'll get him in favorable hitter's counts more often than not.

"Of UT's 99 runs, 51 have come with two outs this season."

[Aaron Carrara]

I've just checked in with my WVU buddies and it appears a series win over Texas qualifies for couch burning.

 

[utisdabomb12]

French is dealing now.

CJH has 4 A's already. WVU may want to revisit their weekend strategy if that's it.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Terrific stab by Cascadden.
