Texas @ Kansas - Thurs. - Sat. Series - ESPN+

Featured Replies

It's the Easter weekend series, so Thursday through Saturday, at historic Hoglund Ballpark in Lawrence. KU is coming off a big comeback win over hated Mizzou.  Pitching matchups follow. You may remember Ryan Cyr from his 2-hit, complete game shutout last time we saw him in Lawrence. Larsen is a juco guy who's pitched well.  They don't seem to have much beyond that.

FRIDAY–Texas RHP Ty Madden (3-1, 1.83) vs. Kansas RHP Ryan Cyr (3-2, 4.78)
SATURDAY–Texas RHP Tristan Stevens (3-1, 3.93) vs. Kansas RHP Cole Larsen (4-1, 0.86)
SUNDAY–Texas RHP Kolby Kubichek (2-2, 3.21) vs. Kansas LHP Eli Davis (3-2, 4.45)

 

Wishful thinking, I know. But it’d be nice to see us jump on first or second pitch fastballs. You know, be aggressive. Oh who am I kidding. We’re gonna watch a 1-1 belt high change up then swing at an outside slider. Sigh 

Next two conference series are @KAN & KSU.  We have to go 5-1 in those to remain competitive atop the league.  Last 4 series of the season are the top 4 teams in the Big XII right now and two are on the road.  .500+ baseball is going to be a serious challenge in the last month of the season.  We have 3.5 weeks right now to go on a fucking tear.  Which also means, base case...6-2 in non-conf. play during that stretch as well.  You do that, you can have a bit of a drop-off in the meat of league play and still be a in a position get a regional.  

I don't think they are allowing fans or I'd be there. 

Lineup makes no sense.  If you want to break up the speed guys, then break up the other guys too- like

kennedy

daly

ardoin

williams

hodo

antico

zubia

Melendez 

faltine 

 

or something.

Watch out. Kansas is "stacked" and "plays the game the right way."

Get ready to fucking hit. This guy doesn't walk anybody.

Kennedy flies out to open the game. 

That's a very generous definition of "flies out."😄

This guy is throwing some meatballs up there....

The analyst sounds like he surfs by day and calls baseball games by night.

With Melendez's speed, I'm surprised he hadn't stolen home by the 4th pitch.

Bench Antico. Now. He brings absolutely nothing.

Two great AB's with 2-strike hits.  Then 3 horrible AB's to end the inning.

Antico is useless.

That’s a compliment

Pull Antico out of the game right fucking now. Jeeeezz....

I think Todd Reesing was playing when Cosentino was a freshman.

Remember when he had a good series vs BYU and everyone was convinced we upgraded from Duke

Might as well walk the 9 hitter on 4 pitches to make things more interesting.

9-3 DP. Madden's all over the place though.

Yeah he’s clearly inconsistent. He should definitely come back for another year....

Good news: I think that's 3 or 4 two-strike hits
