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.

Texas v Kansas is 26-25 with 2:11 left in the 1st.

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 5,046]

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

[Aaron Carrara 2,616]

[joeywa 5,046]

McCann is back in the lineup tonight.

 

 

[joeywa 5,046]

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 147]

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

Elder allows a leadoff single, who is promptly CS by McCann

Walk is all TT can muster.

B2

Horns retired again 1-2-3

 

Scoreless thru 2

3 straight walks and two base hits and we finally send someone to warm up. Why wait so long?

[joeywa 5,046]

T3

Elder cruised through the first 2 outs, then walks 3 in a row.

2 RBI single and another RBI single gives TT a 3-0 lead headed to B3

Because we're only in the 3rd inning and the staff wants to see if he can work thru the issues.  Need to extend starting pitching if we can.

[dillohorn 2,180]

Walks.........ugh

[drgilbert 3,594]

I missed the first two innings. Listening to the announcers it sounds like he has been off the whole time. 

[joeywa 5,046]

B3

Horns retired 1-2-3 in B3

 

T4

Elder allows a 2-out IF single, but that's it.

 

Horns trail 0-3 headed B4

Not really.  He gave up leadoff singles in the 1st & 2nd frame.  Had two down, nobody on in T3 before the walks. 

[drgilbert 3,594]

We can’t catch a damn break
