Good news is the Wave wins the series by winning 5-3. The better news is that this team is winning while still having a lot of room for improvement. BTW, Rankin was not using the high leg kick today.

Thanks. I was just coming back to add that. Swinging the bat is still tough for him. It will be interesting to see if we use him Tuesday.

Glad we won this series. Texas is not that special this year. They have only won one series this year. Augie "Burrito" could be out of a job by the end of the year if this continues for the Horns.

Anytime you go on the road and win a series that's good. Texas has played some good teams early on. We need to pull for them the rest of the year.

FYI:
Rankin only does his high kick with no one on base.

Went to the games this weekend and here is my 2 cents
Good
1. Ross Massey and Emerson Gibbs both pitched well
2. TU dugout is much more lively with Pierce as HC
3. Pierce does a good job with game management.
4. Have won all weekend series so far.
Bad
1. Out field play is very sketchy. I do realize the wind was a factor but Texas had good out field play.
2. Batting with runners in scoring position is still poor. ( Thinks its between the ears)
4. No bat in line up scares the other team.
3. In field somewhat slow.

Over All
Had a great weekend. Good series win but Tx looks like a middle of the pack Big 12 team. We are headed in the right direction and will continue to improve. Would love to get a series with A&M.

Your bad pt #4 is a ridiculous statement. We are hitting .290 as a team and top ten in homeruns! Disch falk is a grave yard and probably the biggest college baseball field. The outfield does need to be taken care of and this points to Pierce. I'd rather have guys who are slow and reliable out there, than fast and sketchy. We will figure it out, hopefully sooner than later.

I cringed everytime a fly ball was hit to the outfield. We can't let simple outs turn into doubles and triples.

Braud should have had 2 of the misplayed fly balls on Sunday....Pierce did not hesitate to pull him. I am not comfortable with Brown in CF, and Lex sure misjudged that line drive. Scary every time the ball went into the air.

Yes. I wonder if Rowland or Edwards and Witherspoon can play leftfield? I really didn't like when spoon was in center! Hopefully when alemais is back permanently we move wilsey back to second. Edwards has cost us badly in crucial situations as well. I think it will all start coming together next week when we get Alemais, Williams, and gross back.

When Williams returns along with allemais we will be fine. Witherspoon is a outfielder playing out of position. I think he will go to left or center and we will be stronger in the outfield. Edwards has made a couple of errors at 2nd but have turned more double plays since he moved there and his bat has been solid. I wonder if Wilsey or Edwards can play outfield deschamp did last year.

Here's what I have after this week:

Rogers-c
Hope-3rd
Alemais-SS
Wilsey-2nd
Williams-1st
Witherspoon-Lf
Carthon-cf
Kaplan-Rf
Montalbano-dh

Dehart and Edwards haven't done it in the field or at the plate so they would be odds out.
