First, for anyone who continues to believe that "K State owns us in every sport," you're wrong as can be.  We absolutely dominate them in baseball.  I did the research and posted it on the old site last year or the year before.  To paraphrase from memory, I think since the start of Big XII play, they've won 4 series out of 21, including 1997 and 1998, when we were terrible.  I'm also pretty sure that the other 2 years when they won the series, Texas went to Omaha anyway.  

Pitching match-ups:

FRIDAY—Texas So. RHP Bryce Elder (2-1, 2.40) vs. Kansas State Fr. RHP Griffin Hassall (0-1, 2.77)
SATURDAY—Texas Jr. RHP Blair Henley (5-1, 3.86) vs. Kansas State Jr. RHP Kasey Ford (0-2, 11.74)
SUNDAY—Texas Fr. RHP Coy Cobb (0-2, 3.16) vs. Kansas State Fr. LHP Jordan Wicks (4-1, 2.53)

Seems to be some experimentation in the rotation for the Cats. Hassall is a freshman from Canada who has done all right the last couple of weeks against Tech and Creighton.  Ford is...just fucking terrible, at least just based on his numbers. Maybe Hughes sees some positive match up for him.  Wicks has been solid for them all year - definitely their best starter, with only one so-so start against Tech.

What we don't want to see is their closer, Zubradt. Dude has pitched 16 2/3 innings and allowed 6 baserunners and no runs.  That's pretty stout, but closers are easily avoided by putting a beating on the other guys.

12 of our 35 games have been one run games so the odds are that we’ll see him at least once

I think about 8 years ago, I took the fam to the Saturday baseball game vs k state then over to the spring football game. 

I think the horns almost choked up a 3 run lead in the ninth but threw the tying run out at home to end the game. 

Anywho...good times.

Fucking hell.  1-2 count and Elder keeps throwing it over the plate.

Thanks for the bunt at least?

Wouldn’t say weak.  They did make him throw 11 pitches to get thru it

Elder not locating his pitches at all... Geeeez

He seems to be locating the barrel of the bats 

Horrible approach by Reynolds and Shaw immediately after Zubia walk ....... both with 1st pitch flyouts.....

Both those guys fly out too much in general.  Ford too.  They swing like they are power hitters which they aren’t.

I thought Reynolds would have developed more power by now,

Yep, such a great non typical, non politically correct, not UT type answer.

Dude is nails.

You can just feel the butt pucker from the, "Gotta follow the flow chart no matter what!" types.  Fucking pogues.

Starting to wonder if Elder is best suited for the Friday starter slot??

Please take some pitches Horns..... get pitch count up for this freshman Canadian KState pitcher.....

Nice job Hibbeler..... base hit rbi scores Horns 1st of many runs tonight.....
