April 1, 20214 yr 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)
April 1, 20214 yr 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
April 1, 20214 yr 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.
April 1, 20214 yr 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.
April 1, 20214 yr Author Just now, Horny Bull said: Kennedy flies out to open the game. That's a very generous definition of "flies out."😄
April 1, 20214 yr Author With Melendez's speed, I'm surprised he hadn't stolen home by the 4th pitch.

April 1, 20214 yr Author Might as well walk the 9 hitter on 4 pitches to make things more interesting.
