****Texas vs Oklahoma Official Baseball Thread Friday 4/7/2017****

[joeywa]

Hey seamheads, I'm back.  It's been a week off for me, but now we get back to it.

Game Time: 7 PM

Location: UFCU Disch Falk Field

TV: Fox Sports 1

Radio: 104.9 FM

Audio Stream: www.texassports.com

Projected Starters

FRIDAY  UT RHP Nolan Kingham (4-2, 1.02) vs. Oklahoma RHP Dylan Grove (1-1, 2.88)
SATURDAY UT RHP Morgan Cooper (3-2, 1.44) vs. Oklahoma RHP Jake Irvin (5-0, 1.16)
SUNDAY UT TBA vs. Oklahoma TBA

Seems like this is a weekly statement, but Texas really needs to take this series. 

OU has been playing well, but I don't believe they're as good as their record, just as Texas isn't as bad as theirs.  With D1 Baseball coming out with their mid-season postseason projections, and having Texas as a 3-seed in the Corvallis, OR regional, you can bet that winning and improving their place in the postseason are priorities #1 & #2.  While I would absolutely love to see Texas in Corvallis, Oregon State is not really what I'd call a "good" draw.  They are playing extremely well right now and are the best team in the nation. 

Let's see if we can start this thing off with a bang.  Aaron Ross will throw out the first pitch.

As usual, I'll be on PBP on Twitter, and we'll have discussion throughout the game on here.  Look forward to the banter!

HookEm!

So we got lucky that first run was called out cause he touched the third base coach, but we will take it. Nice catch by center fielder. Nice defense so far.

So far a pitchers duel with our defense not making mistakes but there's with a couple of blunders. We need more runs. My daughter is at the game so I hope she gets to see us win.
