Pictures from the Texas State/Texas game

Is there a consensus "best hitter" so far into this early season? Payton and Lusson seem to be hitting the ball well.

Maitland has the highest batting average. He has definitely turned it on this year, and he's still got a large amount of walks (4) and HBP (6!) that he takes as well. Payton was very hot to start, as was Marlow, but both have mellowed out a little bit. Marlow seems to hit best when he's got someone on base. Silver is really coming on now, and I think the more playing time he gets at first, the better he will get. He has been doing amazing things in BP apparently. Lusson is always powerful and clutch - it's just going to depend on whether or not he hits one of his rough patches and how Steinhagen is developing as far as playing time for him.

 
Excellent post on the Texas State Game and the pictures are incredible DJB. The Texas State win was one that will look even better toward the end of the season. Texas State is a good ball club.

Lusson AND Felts need to pick it up a bit. These guys just do not have the hits a lot of the other guys have but they will come around. Power hitters usually do!

 
Speaking about Lusson- how in the heck was hit into the bull pen not a HR?
I swear it must have gone through that two-foot gap between the foul pole and the Rudy's sign on the building in foul ground. I had just finished telling the Texas State pitcher to toss Luss a meatball when he did that and I think the entire stadium was about to explode. What a tease!!

I was pretty impressed with Felts last night - he had 2 RBIs on that one single up the middle and showed much better poise behind the plate than we've seen from him recently. The team definitely showed us what they can do - the question now is if they can do it on a consistent basis.

 
I think Felts only has like 4 hits total this year and Lusson too. Lussons slugging percentage is decent though. Way too early in the season to analzye stays. Give it a month or so.

 
Felts has 8 and Lusson has 6 hits so far. This weekend could be a telling sign of which direction this team is headed.

 
You guys make many road games? If so I would skip the Norman trip for obvious reasons!
