Sorry I missed the PBP yesterday.  Son got his first start at the HS, so I went to watch.  Slim was updating me via texts. 

Thanks Matt for the bullpen effort. 

Want to see if we can get things turned around today.  It's sunny and in the 50s.

SATURDAY: 2:05PM

TV: Ben Ten Network

Texas – Sophomore, RHP Kacy Clemens (2-1, 4.68)
Nebraska – Senior, LHP Kyle Kubat (4-0, 1.60)

• Last weekend in a win, Kubat struck out a career-high nine batters.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

I can't decide if I enjoy Roger Wallace on radio PBP. He seems to either be comfortable or deer in the headlights, with little in between.

[Matt Cotcher]

Was that the 10th inning from last night, or the 1st inning today? It sure felt like a continuation.

 

[joeywa]

My early takes:

• Texas hacking away at the plate early
• To get to this pitcher, Texas hitters will need to let him get deep into counts.
• Blue was giving the low outside corners to the pitcher
• Nebraska fans have shown up en mass.

[Matt Cotcher]

12 strikeouts in 12 innings for Texas batters. Barrera is the only positional player that has not K'ed.

Looking forward, this is the kind of series that Garrido will point to in defense of needing to be more deliberate on offense.
