Middle 5, Horns up 8-5

 

11 hits, 1 K.  (For the sky-is-falling types )

Sky isn't falling, concerned is a better term. Texas has slightly more than a 1/3 of their hits this year in this game (game #5) alone.

I'm sure there are plenty of teams that have had better games with better statistics that account for a significant percentage of production/stats when you're talking about a 5-game sample size.

Texas looked really bad last weekend, no doubt.  Showing a bit of patience and understanding the circumstances and competition faced is an important piece of the puzzle.

Horns lead 12-5 thru 7 complete

Good win. Is BYU back to their Friday night starter now like we will be with Madden?

I don't know that they have determined a true FR starter at this point, but I would expect to see Cy Nielsen, who started against Tx St on Saturday. 

As for tomorrow's series finale, I believe you'll see a little bit of several pitchers for BYU.

Nice to see the bats come alive yesterday. Let's keep this train rolling.

I dont know if they have a rotation set in stone yet. 

That being said, do you mean day 1 starter or day 2 starter?  mormons dont play on Sunday so their day 1 starter usually pitches on Thursday. Friday is normally their day 2 starter when they establish a set rotation

Yes that is what I meant! Thanks for clarifying. This mid week schedule had me confused. Wanted to see what games we would see their best pitchers.

Anything interesting with the lineup today?  I noticed...

Williams still #4 (series 3 for 4 w/ 3 BB)

Zubia moved up a spot to 5th coming off a 3 for 4 game

Melendez back in starting lineup at 6 spot after being 4th in Wednesday's game (1-3) & not starting yeserday. 

Ardoin drops a couple of spots to 7th coming off a 1 for 7 in series

Kennedy drops from 2 all the way down to the 8 spot (2 for 9 in series)

Stehly is starting at 2B instead of campbell in 9th spot (batting 1 for 1 yesterday & BB Wednesday). Is Campbell out due to error (1 on Wednesday) or batting (1-5) or both?

How about 7-0 Texas headed to T3?

That bottom of 2nd was a long one. It was longer than our family dinner. 

[joeywa 5,485]

This BYU pitcher has the pace of a snail

I’m watching the game tonight. I would recommend not making your hotel reservations for Omaha. 

[Soldierhorn 481]

no errors; 9 walks to none is how you get more runs than hits

10-0 on seven hits after 6 innings

[joeywa 5,485]

Nothing wrong with a good slumpbuster every once in a while

[Huskie1 705]

BYU seems to be just what the doctor ordered for the Horns.

[joeywa 5,485]

Horns up 11-0 in T8; Madden is done after 7 complete.  0 runs, 1 IF single, 11 Ks, 1 BB, 1 HBP.  Helluva night for Ty

[joeywa 5,485]

 

 

[Soldierhorn 481]

not exactly burning up the bases but made it all the way around

I don’t know that I would put a lot of stock into who is batting in what spot 6 games into the season. Pierce, as most coaches, is trying different things to see how guys perform in various situations and in conjunction with one another. 
With fewer non-Conf matchups early on, I don’t anticipate a somewhat predictable lineup, more especially batting order, before the 3rd or possibly 4th week of conference play.
