Weekend Series – #7 Texas vs Mizzou

[Earl Nobis Jefferson]

Texas wins 7-1. Texas sweeps Missouri. Texas is 8-1 in conference play tied with Georgia. Texas sweeps it's 1st 2 away conference series.

The HRs in this series by UT were howitzers!! Not sure a few didn't take orbit

We have to be leading the conference in howitzers.

Burns hasnt ever been considered the closer type. He is in the same role as Grubbs, Duplantier, and possibly Saunier. Would like to see Saunier get the game 2 start., but that doesn't seem to be Schloss and Weiner plan. I have no problem with their plan as we are off to one of our best starts in 20 yrs or so.

Riojas, Moffett, Navarre are the ones that were more likely to be closer type. Hamiltom is another one. Volantis is the closest we have.
The issue has been Mercer and McCreery haven't been able to throw strikes, thus they haven't pitched in awhile. Howard is slowly showing some promise.

Will go by what Craig/Roger and Keith say on the pitch count.

Missouri may have used 6 pitchers, but 1 was a position player and was very effective. Saving most of their other arms for Saturday.

Whats up Saunier, we haven't seen him at all in about a month?

Moffett's first appearance after opening weekend was this Tuesday. I am not sure Texas was able to fix him the way they thought they might.

Volantis and Jason Flores have been used a lot in late game, high leverage situations and have done really well.

I am feeling good about my 30 run prediction after tonight, even with them cutting the game 2 innings short we are halfway there.

Texas scored 29 runs during the series with Missouri, you jinxed yourself by posting this.

46 so far. Two guys with nine. Galvan and Gasparino.

29 runs in only 25 innings. Had we had all 27 innings we would have gone over 30. I'll count it as a win.

I know you’re not but almost sounds like aggy. Claiming wins when you lose. Because expecting 30 runs in three games means there’s a good chance of run rule in at least one.

And there was, the first game of the series. I think he's just suggesting if we'd had more innings instead of run rule, Texas likely gets another run. That's fairly realistic to me.

Aggy never gets that close to the truth. lol

Speaking of aggy, I was looking for their score, but I couldn't find them in the Top 25 section... I did see they lost to Kentucky, again. 1-8 in conference and 13-14... that's outstanding!

Yes, but my reasoning relied on solid logic and math. An aggie could never

BW55 is a good guy, I was just razzing him some since he did jinx himself.

I was only joking. I know he is a good guy. I love his posts. Just thought I was being funny. Came across as snarky.

I got the snark, no worries.

But did you get rid of the snark? Or do you still have it on you?
