Texas vs. OSU (recap & complete post-game added)

[Aaron Carrara]

10-pitch first inning for Moore.  Texas needs to make him work a little more (no pun intended)

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Hendrix is the guy to watch today in OSU's lineup.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Big double play there.

[Matt Cotcher]

Moore K/BB this year was an absurd 103-18. He's going to live in the strike zone, so Texas is going to have to swing the bat.

Going B2

 

[Matt Cotcher]

OSU's SS is playing way over behind 2B and deep. There's a gaping hole on the right side for UT to take advantage of once they've been through the order/seen Moore once.

[joeywa]

Texas hitters will settle down a bit once they see Moore.  He's got velocity and location, mixes in a nice cutter, changeup and curve ball.  He's going to play at the next level, but I think Texas can get to him with some patience. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Whoa...Billy King (Beaver's DH) is a big ol' cuss.

Double play ball would be timely here.  May see a safety squeeze here, although with a wet field, that may not be beneficial to the runners.
