****Texas vs. Stanford Game 1 Official Game Thread****

Pitchers gave up four hits in 12 innings and we still can't win. Disappointing.
See notes above. 

Also, Stanford is now 4-1, and 3 of their wins are over Top 25 programs. 

Sometimes your team just loses to a better team on a given night.  Stanford was better tonight.

 
If baker handles the throw we turn it over and go on. That's baseball though. Just wondering about approach at the plate as I didn't get to watch tonight.

Baker hit the ball on the screws several times, but couldn't find a hole.

Rand had a couple of hits and I really am liking his confidence and approach the more that I watch him.

Cantu had a night similar to Baker, hard hit balls, but right at people

Tres had a good night outside of one of his early ABs in the game.

Denny looked good in his first plate appearance, but was pulled later in the game.

Losing Mathis for an undisclosed injury/illness hurt.

Gurwitz looked off balance for the majority of the game at the plate.

The one thing to note is that the Stanford starter, Bubic, had a very good changeup that was mixed in with a serviceable curve and fastball nicely.  The way he was pitching kept our hitters off balance early on.

Hock, (reliever,) came in and also had a good changeup and curve ball, along with a high 80s FB.  Also kept the hitters guessing with the way the game was called. 

All in all, outside of players really seeing their first game, (Harlan) I think we had a good approach.  The killer stat was 18 Ks.

It happens. I'm not happy, but at same time, it's way too early in the year to be worried about what happens at crunch time

Appreciate it. Thank you for following along.  I enjoy doing it. 

 
Went back and looked at the book.

18 Ks

Of those, 11 were from:

Gurwitz-3

Boswell-3

Harlan-3

Cantu-2

Harlan, it was his first appearance, so I get it.  But the other three are everyday starters.  Can't have a bad day like that from your key hitters. 

I don't doubt that they'll bounce back this weekend.

Certainly not.  Neither am I, but it happens.  Sometimes 1-run losses are tougher to get your hands around than a blowout.  This team will be just fine. 

 
FYI, Augie said Mathis left the game with hamstring injury. No word on whether it keeps him out of anymore games or how severe the injury is. We will probably know more tomorrow or Saturday.
