After 5 9-2 Texas Longhorns Just keep hitting the ball, getting on base, and generating some more runs. We want insurance, and lots of it. Fortunately, Harrison won’t let things get too out of control on the mound when we’re on D.
3 up 3 down For Olivarez and the Texas D in the 7th Dude has the best stats of anyone in our bullpen. 9-2 us
Olivarez looking solid. 25 pitches thru 2 innings. Leave him out there for the 9th - at least he is throwing strikes!
Those who like to armchair coach might say that Olivarez was grossly underused this year. His stats are by far the best in our bullpen—and it’s not even close…
Ok Stephens mowed thru the cowboys in the 9th on 10 pitches and Im glad. If hes our new closer that is a huge get for us. However I do like Olivarez a LOT out of the bullpen. Hes about the only one i trust anymore to throw strikes.
Regional hosting now guaranteed. Probably need a win over OU tomorrow for a top 8/super regional host slot.
Tristan and Olivarez can be counted on out of the pen. Usually Harrison too—although he’s been so so this tournament.
We’ll probably see some combination of Tristan, Olivarez, LBJ, Southard (maybe), Harrison, and Sthele tomorrow…???
