March 25Mar 25 #7 TEXAS vs. SAM HOUSTON March 25, 2025 Where: UFCU Disch-Falk Field Time: 6:30 p.m. TV: SEC Network+ Radio: The Longhorn Radio Network Live stats: texas.statbroadcast.com PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUP TUESDAY – Sam Houston RHP Danny Valadez (2-1, 5.16 ERA) vs. Texas LHP Kade Bing (0-0, 3.77 ERA)
March 25Mar 25 Hard to quarrel with Bing getting another shot after the outing he had last Tuesday night. Will he be followed by another "Howard Mania" experience also like last Tuesday night is yet to be known. It was quite the one-two punch after pitching fell apart before they came in. Of course, you need to do it more than once for it to become a thing.
March 25Mar 25 I'm not sure I understand the tradeoff we are making by playing Rodriguez at 3B, which forces us to use a guy like Stewart at DH. Are we really upgrading by taking Borba out and rolling the dice with Rodriguez defensively? Stewart's bat ain't that special, as evidenced by him hitting 9th. I'm assuming this is 'do something or we are just rolling with Farmer in the 9-hole' time for Winfield. He is running out of chances and Farmer has him beat by a mile defensively.

I don’t really understand it at all.
March 25Mar 25 I'm in favor of rolling with Farmer. He had a much better weekend at the plate than people think. Once he elevates those line drives we'll see some bombs. Or not. If Borba's going to play, you have to put him at 3rd and DH Rodriguez, I would think. Edited March 25Mar 25 by zlavydra

March 25Mar 25 Stewart gives you another lefty hitter in the lineup. Probably not that big a deal midweek though.

March 25Mar 25 Schloss just trying to find a lefty on the bench, hard to use Chamberlain when he is your back up catcher. Stewart and Winfield are the only other options. 7-17 Sam Houston State on a Tuesday night who have 1 pitcher under a 5.00 ERA with more than 10 innings. Not going to find a better opportunity to unload the bench You know what you have in Borba, not going to hurt him taking him out of the lineup for a few games. Edited March 25Mar 25 by chase25

Well, still got a game against Prairie View Aggy. I think you could unload the bench and part of the Yeti Yard and still be ok in that game.
March 25Mar 25 Kade rocking the stirrups, hopefully the performance tonight matches how clean the uniform looks

March 25Mar 25 On laptop, under Schedule & Replays on the ESPN+ screen, you click the drop-down specifically for SEC+, much quicker. Phone, maybe not.
March 25Mar 25 That wasn't close at second. Wonder if it was supposed to be a hit and run. Always followed by a hit it seems. Edited March 25Mar 25 by NBHorn7

March 25Mar 25 On I phone, go to ESPN+ and scroll to bottom to find Conferences. Select SEC and should see the link to watch game.
March 26Mar 26 Keith keeps pointing out every 110+ mph exit velocity and how common they've become in ncaa vs mlb. I agree that it's getting time to do something about the bats or ball. We're not there yet but we're heading back toward gorilla ball.
March 26Mar 26 What was all that banging there between innings? Sounded like Craig was trying to kill a fly.
