Texas Takes On A&M Again
Alabama A&M is so bad that Nebraska could probably beat them this year (sorry Corn Nation!). AA&M lost last weekend to the Campbell Camels 23-2 and 13-3. In other words, if Texas loses one of these we'll be kind of surprised. No pitchers for today's DH have been announced yet, game one will start at 1 PM with game two to follow probably around 430ish.The weather might suck in the afternoon so hopefully they'll get at least one of the games in. Winning is important in this one, so is staying healthy. Look to see some names you haven't seen a lot this year.
[Update] As amorphous posted in the comments section, the doubleheader has been postponed until tomorrow at 12.

Postponemed Pitching
Does the postponement affect our pitching situation for the Big 12 Tourney?
When does the big 12 start?
Wednesday? Or is an all week thing?
"I don't ever miss free throws. I'm like 100-percent from the free throw line. I just don't think about missing and if you think about missing you're going to miss. I just take my time and know I'm going to make it and I do," McClellan said.
think y'all will get the 4 pm or 7 pm gametime
not sure
If they put the OU or OSU game at 7 pm, just to cater to the OKC crowds, that is bs. They should make the later gametime a reward for finishing first in conference.
As for the Alabama A&M game, is there really a point to this game? Sounds like an intersquad scrimmage would be tougher.
Seeding
I think it’s been a good weekend so far for seeding. OU is probably our best series win and them sweeping A&M would be fantastic (also hurts UC Irvine a little who has a win over Aggy) because it would probably move them into the top 10. LSU didn’t sweep MSU but took 2 of 3. I still think if we win 2 next week we’re a top 4 seed with #1 being certainly possible.
Chance Ruffin on the mound
Probably pitching so that he doesn’t miss a start, wouldn’t expect him to go long
Groundout
2 singles, pop out, walk, groundout ends the inning
Chance struggled there but got out of it.
Belt squeezes
Torres scores, ball was popped up but fell, Tucker evaded the tag but is called out for leaving the base path…1-0, Belt on first
Lusson flies out, Keyes grounds out.
1-0 through 1
2 Ks a HBP and a groundout for AAMU
Loy walks, thrown out in a pitchout, Clark lines out to right, great play by RF, Maitland walks, flyout
1-0 through 2
No damage in the top, didn't see what happeend
Torres doubles again to lead off the bottom, bunt single for Tucker (placed amazingly)…corners again, no outs
Belt steals second
Lusson grounds out to 3B, Belt still advances
Keyes singles to left, 4-0
Loy HBP, pitching change…I’m out for a bit, prolly just me here though :)
Two walks and a pretty bunt
Then the pitcher throws the ball into the stands, probably saved a run.
Lusson doubles, 4-0
Somewhat amusingly
Neither Torres, Tucker nor Belt has an official AB at the top of the lineup today and they’ve scored all four runs for the Horns
6-0 on Tucker double
Horns load the bases but a nice play by the 3B prevents them from scoring
6-0 through 4
Error #4 for A&M
Shoulda been an inning ending DP ball
Aggy pulls to withing 5-4 in the top of the 9th
Sac fly makes it 7-0, Torres singles making it 8-0, Tucker smokes one but it’s caught at the track…8-0 through 5
the left field situation
hernandez started in LF for the second game, maitland started and played the entire first game. i suppose shepherd played his way out.
as much as hernandez confounded me as a ss, i like the idea of him in left. he can’t be worse than shepherd, and he’s bound to be better offensively than maitland.
Hernandez and Shepherd
Hernandez is hitting .314, he’d be a great addition to the lineup, but you’re right that he was a disaster at SS. It’s sad to see Tant out of the lineup, he’s a heckuva talent. It really highlights the depth this team has.
key numbers
batting averages, for what they’re worth:
2008 david hernandez: .291 overall, .283 big 12
2009 tant shepherd: .259, .247
plus shepherd has 4 errors in left this year… not that hernandez has been error free, but that was at short.
pending more time to review its effects defensively, i like this move
Isn't it a DH?

AO will probably get to it tomorrow
If not then we’ll have something up Wednesday before the tourney starts. Not a ton to say until we see the seeding
Alabama A&M has one infield single
Horns have faced the minimum, then Stafford walks a dude with 2 away
