The only player not having good to great at bats is Borba.

We have our 1st Conner McCreery sighting of the yr.

Texas is in a great spot with Riojas hopefully starting tomorrow evening to get to the super regionals.

Plus maybe hold off using Cozart unless needed in a close game tomorrow; and if need be start him Monday if needed.

Now, we need chaos for the other regionals to go to Monday.
