Nice.

Interesting that against a RHP, Byrd is playing CF. Given how poorly Ford has been hitting (or NOT) of late, you'd think against a RHP, Byrd would play SS, and have Warren start in CF.

Teykl struck out
Aquino singled. Runner on 1B, one out.
Stainback shows me up with an RBI triple! I should do this more often!
Cook sac fly!
Byrd ground out to 2B.

Good guys take a 2-0 lead heading to the bottom of the third inning.

And, as has been our norm, not working the opposing pitcher at all-- swinging early in the count. I think the guy has thrown under 20 pitches the first 2 innings. NOT the way to beat a mediocre at best pitcher....but this offense never changes it's approach no matter what. VERY frustrating.

Dude, you know I love you, but, we are 50 games into the season, this team isn't changing anything - no matter how much you wish it so.

Ding ding, we have an answer! Ford triples scoring Aquino.

Michael looking better at the plate, shooting down another pitch for his 5th hit of the week. Aq-Aq-Aq-Aq-Aq-Aq-Aq!!!!!!

See my updated previous post. :--)

Nice production by Cook making sure the runner on third with less than two outs scores. This time via a fly ball/line out.

Never in doubt [cough] Knew it all along [cough]

I love that whenever UTSA's Warren comes up to bat, Gametracker shows a picture of Rice's Warren. It reminds me of playground games, as if UTSA was short a player and we lent them Charlie.

Jon gives up a lead off single. UTSA has had all three batters leading off an inning reach base (error, walk, single).

I know I am supposed to only want Rice to hang a zero up here this half inning, but I am rooting formJon to get through his first inning without a walk...

And he gets the K. Way to go Jon!

Well the team seems to be doing fine without me...

Always great to tune in to a lead.

Through 3 innings, the crazy stats continue to skew in Rice's favor.

Rice 2, UTSA 0.
Rice LOB: 0, UTSA LOB: 6.
Jon with 6 Ks and 4 BBs.

Nutty.

BTW, Augie would love the efficiency in that Rice gets two hits and has scored two runs.

Shane leads off T4 with a single. Time for a bomb, JC.

No...time to bunt him into scoring position for McDowell and Ewing.
