Just jumped on, this audio sucks.  Money question:  would Pierce have waved him home or held him at 2nd?

Wonder if Mercer is having arm trouble again?

Spoiler

 Extended Period With Injury

Head coach Jim Schlossnagle mentioned that one of his bullpen arms has suffered an arm injury ahead of Friday's matchup.

As Texas Longhorns baseball head coach Jim Schlossnagle finalizes his pitching lineup, he's going to have one less arm in the bullpen to rely on.

During a radio appearance on Friday, Schlossnagle mentioned that redshirt senior pitcher Will Mercer has suffered an undisclosed injury and will be sidelined for a couple of weeks.

Schlossnagle said that Mercer is "going through some things arm-wise" and will not see the mound in Texas' remaining two matchups against Santa Clara this weekend.

The relief pitcher has thrown in three games so far this season, his most recent appearance being against Dartmouth in the Longhorns' home opener. He currently sits at a 9.00 ERA after allowing a combined four hits, two earned runs, two walks and three strikeouts.

2025 marks Mercer's second season with the Longhorns but his first year pitching, as he redshirted in 2024. He finished out his previous four seasons at Notre Dame with a 2.43 ERA and held batters to just a .185 hitting percentage.

With Mercer out indefinitely, Schlossnagle will have to make another change to his pitching rotation. Schlossnagle already took relief pitcher Dylan Volantis and made him the Sunday starter, but he still has viable options such as Ruger Riojas, Max Grubbs, Thomas Burns and Andre Duplantier to call on.

The Longhorns face Santa Clara at 2 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field and look to get another home sweep. Texas already grabbed a 4-2 win on Friday.

Going to be crucial to get Navarre innings to try and bring him along. Kade Bing now the top lefty out of the pen, not good

Usually, most California teams are pretty good on defense.

Santa Clara is an exception to the rule.

Fuck Baylor. There's no reason to ever mention them on a broadcast.

That Martinez kid has a lot of potential if he could develop a slider. Just has nothing else to keep hitters from sitting on his changeup

This guy was lucky to last this long.

Texas kept bailing him out.

I'm thinking the guy who just managed 7 outs (really 6) on 75 pitches is their 3rd best arm.

Wind helped him some too. 

LOL, balk. 

The explanation is he didn't step; he just spun and threw.

Pitcher looks like someone from my 1982 little league team.

Listed at 6’0 180 lbs on their website, there is absolutely no way

Coach Schiraldi! He throws a mean dodge ball and loved wearing pink shorts as the gym teacher. Funny guy.

In comes Riojas.

Putting out the fire. I hope anyway.

Calvin's dad was a big Aggy, and we made him promise that if we won it all in Omaha, he would throw up the Horns.

We did and he did it.

Ruger hasn’t been perfect this year but he is certainly a no fuck around guy

Awesome job to come in and limit the damage. Great pitching. 

That’s an insane stat from Schiraldi. 4 12 game winners.

That rotation was Calvin as the ace on Friday, then Mike Capel, and finally some guy named Clemens.

They all were MLB starters and two started World Series games.

I have often thought about if that team had been around during Surly. We would absolutely have torched them for their tendency to lose games to shitty teams, before crushing some nationally ranked power.

WE GOT SWEPT BY TEXAS WESLEYAN!!!111 THIS TEAM DOES NOT DESERVE TO MAKE THE REGIONALS!

The Fire Coach Gus thread would be very active.

I asked Doug Hodo about that one day at practice.

Does this team just lose focus against the bad teams.

He just smiled and said how do we do in the big games.

Many free passes being issued. Max came off the bag. Was there a tag?

So tired of getting thrown out at third base. Don't do that shit y'all.
