****Texas vs Kansas State Official Sat Game Thread 3/25****

[joeywa]

Looks beautiful inAustin today. Cooper looking good. And I see no drop off defensively from Cantu to McCann. (As I keep beating the dead horse)

If I were a betting man, I'd say that McCann has probably been catching Cooper quite a bit in practice, establishing a comfort zone for not only himself, but Cooper and the coaching staff.

I think I take out Cooper now. With a 4 run lead our bullpen (should) be able to hold a lead.

Cooper been well over 100 the past two weeks. Going to need him later in the season.

 

[drgilbert]

So we have had 17 base runners but only have 4 runs. We have to get better at that.

 

[Huskie1]

This game should be a run away but we can't get guys in. Lots of runs left on the bases. The arms are there to compete in the conference but we need to hit the ball (says the former track guy who couldn't hit in little league).

Went to the Tech series and those first two games were anybody's games. Tech scalded the ball on Sunday.

Same as last night.  Have had opportunities to blow both wide open.

Our starting pitching has been stellar for most of the season.  It's our bullpen that's been a challenge.

And KSU is not the best in the world

 

[Huskie1]

Good question. Time will tell I guess.I will say the pitching last Friday and Saturday against Tech was great and they are very good.

 

[drgilbert]

Looks like Coop is done. Why not let him go for complete game.
