Texas tomorrow at 2:00.

Hopefully we can get them back, but man! I can’t see us beating A&M if we somehow get through Texas.

Those bubbles should be illegal.

I was thinking the same thing. That has to be distracting to the pitcher.

Just win 1. Then, whatever.

Yup... who knows, we might have someone step up and pitching their ass off

Texas imploding now. Bases loaded with two outs then an error and a wild pitch. 4-2 Aggies.

Edit: I guess they called it a base hit. Was a tough play but should have been an out, imo.

UT’s defense really let them down. 2 errors by the SS allows the tying run and then that play at third, tough but makable.

I imagine it’s worse for the hitter. Either way I don’t see how it’s legal. Blowing bubbles is one thing, but those bubble gatling guns are diabolical

I would be surprised if we do not see the lefty, Ace Whitehead tomorrow (pitched nearby at Lampasas High School). But it is always possible they go with Hurley.

It is good that Boehm was spent tonight (76 pitches). Duplantier has also pitched on consecutive days (33 + 27 pitches), so I cannot see him going tomorrow (certainly not effectively). These are the best relief arms for Texas. LBJ Jr. is spent (he pitched very well tonight, BTW).

This is setup for the Cajuns to take care of business, as I suspected. Texas will be throwing beatable arms.

Outstanding news.. now we just have to take care of business

And somehow get through A&M twice with Herrmann spent (VS GRAMBLING). And Morgan spent. I don't see it. I thought we were done as soon as Herrmann entered and then continued to pitch an inning or two. I can't believe that LP was even up and throwing (VS GRAMBLING).

Hope I'm wrong.

Your points are valid, but this is the postseason. If Morgan and Langevin can get us through Texas this afternoon, I think you’ll see the same guys from Friday night in tonight’s game against A&M. Fluno, Martinez, Christie.

And if they get it done, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Herrmann, McGehee and Etheridge again tomorrow. You obviously don’t want to make a habit of doing things like that, but doing it for one weekend in the postseason…it just is what it is. It’s what’s done all across the country every year, and guys handle it (physically) fine.

And outside of Langevin and maybe Morgan (neither of which would even be in consideration), none of these guys have much of a shot at an MLB career. This is it for them, and I’d be willing to bet that every one of them would absolutely want the ball, especially the seniors (Fluno, Christie, Marshall, Etheridge). It’s the pinnacle of what they’ve worked their entire baseball lives for.

Basically, we're in a gotta do what we have to do mode

Good points.
