UT up 2-0 through 3

[Matt Cotcher]

Only the 3rd inning and McCann has already had 2 AB's with RISP & 2 outs. This is exactly what Garrido wants from a midweek game.

[GBT]

As long as they make the pitcher pitch...... its all good. I hate the way they batted in the last few years, just swinging at everything no matter the situation. That sucked. This looks much better tonight going deep into the count.

[utisdabomb12]

Nobody hurt.  Just didn't snap off the breaking ball.

 

 

[joeywa]

Something's not right with Marlow.  That's it for him.  Don't want to rush him back, and Skip thinks he needs to shut er down

[utisdabomb12]

Oh no, Marlow looks like he's still having problems.

"IF" it got out of the infield.

[Matt Cotcher]

I like Malmin's delivery - really smooth, like he's playing catch with the mitt, but still  manages to get impressive arm speed.

[joeywa]

I'm fixin' to go back to doing full innings.  This batter-by-batter is interfering with me refilling my beer. 

[joeywa]

And while I go refill, UTSA goes to the pen. 

 

SR RHP Filipek on for the Roadrunners

[Matt Cotcher]

Not impressed with Filipek's velo or control in warm-ups.

 

Time for Texas to make hay.
