February 13, 20232 yr Looking back at the box scores from the 2021 opening weekend in Arlington and I had forgotten that Landon Sims came in relief for Mississippi State in game 1 and struck out 10 in 4 no-hit innings lol. That dude was our kryptonite.

Just incredible watching that team do what they did after all the adversity. Specifically the pitching staff.

Noticed the price of a GA Season Ticket is only $99 which is likely the reason for the sellout. In the past, there has sometimes been an announcement "we have a limited amount of tickets that will be available at the box office prior to the game." Don't know if that will still hold true except for SRO. https://texassports.com/sports/2013/7/22/tickets_0722131531.aspx Really annoying. I can realistically only go to one game a week (well until the Regionals and Supers, then I go to every game) so I don't want to buy season tickets and in the past getting tickets from UT was never a problem. Ah well guess I get to deal with stubhub this season.

February 14, 20232 yr So, do we know how the infield is shaping up? 1st, 3rd and SS? I assume a freshman and a transfer will likely be in two of those spots?

February 15, 20232 yr Maybe it ends up being at DH, but I have to think Carlson eventually forces his way in the lineup. I know it was the Big West conference or whatever but you don't hit .345 by accident. Edited February 15, 20232 yr by Hookem2147

February 15, 20232 yr Per David Pierce, these are the starters against Arkansas on Friday: C — Ryan Galvan/Garrett Guillemette 1B — Jared Thomas 2B — Jack O’Dowd 3B — Jalin Flores SS — Mitchell Daly CF — Eric Kennedy RF — Dylan Campbell LF — Porter Brown And here’s your starting rotation for opening weekend: Friday — Lucas Gordon Saturday — Zane Morehouse Sunday — Travis Sthele
February 15, 20232 yr I might be completely wrong on this but I think Sthele is going to have a solid year. Didn't think it would be in the rotation but his stuff was really good the first 2 months of last year before he just ran out of gas. Maybe it had something to do with it being the first year coming back from TJ.

If Kennedy and Campbell stay healthy and don't combine for 50ish+ steals, I'll be surprised. Edited February 15, 20232 yr by Hookem2147

I thought for sure he’d be a weekend guy. I’m going to choose to be optimistic and take this as good news re: Sthele. Maybe Hurley can be an overqualified midweek guy.

Been dying for him to get some more play his whole time here. Dude has some serious power

Kubicheck was a weekend starter to open the year in 2021. Curious to see how Woody and Pierce manage our staff this year.

Yeah the baseball season is long and things change a lot before things get set. Look back at any season, the line up and rotation at game 1 often seems bizarre compared to how we know the season ends up going.

Hurley's issue at USC was walks which Pierce detests. iirc, he walked in a run in the Alumni game and had 2-3 walks. Not really uncommon for a 6'8" pitcher who needs to master his delivery. Bullpen has a "goldmine" of talent. Just needs development. We are countin' on you Woody ! (realize development is said every year)
