Big shutdown inning for WM:

 

[Baseballguy]

I want to give Aaron some weeway because he made me eat my words last year but at what point does Penders move him out of the lead off spot.

Russell struggling:

Woot, woot!! 2-1 win!

[Baseballguy]

Phew. That was a nail biter.

As far as tomorrow goes I'd throw Feole. Texas can not hit the curve. I know Doug is the probable starter tomorrow but you have to send out the pitcher with the better curve. I think that pitcher is Feole.

Great win. It'll be tough to take the rubber game but let's get it done Huskies!

Not scoring that runner from 2nd will cost us vs. better teams (and as good as Texas will be by the end of next year, they are not very good right now).

So proud of this pitching staff! The bullpen is night and day better than last week.

This is what one of the Texas beat writers thinks of this team. There's a lot of tough teams in the AAC, I hope he's right.

Willy Yahn says he'll be back for the series against UC Davis. That's in two weeks. When Yahn comes back, one of the first three hitters in the order will be moved out of one of those spots in favor of him.

UConn recap: UConn Evens Series with Texas, 2-1

 

[dbmill]

A little hard to listen to the game while attending the senior day festivities and game at Gampel, but I managed. Montgomerie is something else. A year ago at this time a 1st inning like today would have easily driven him from the game. I thought with a 30+ pitch 1st inning he wasn't going to be in the game all that long. Instead he turns it around into a dominating performance. Montgomerie has gone from being a pitcher who could turn your stomach inside out to someone you really want to see on the mound for your team. He has shown stunning growth.

Is polonia hurt? He looked dominant at points last year and he has not seen any action so far..granted there were times he was wildly inconsistent.surprised him and zapata have not seen the mound so far this year....

Polonia out a few more weeks due to an "arm issue". Thought to be able to be cleared in time for western road swing. Seems Zapata is going to have to fight for innings @ this point.
