The Longhorns put up nine runs for the third straight game and capitalized on their leadoff hitters getting on base to beat Stephen F. Austin 9-1 Tuesday night.

Good stuff, Dave. I love how momentum in baseball works. When it's going good, it goes great. When it goes bad, even the best to ever play can get into a funk.

"We finally just switched it," Garrido said. "We switched the structure. We switched the way we were practicing. We've helped them recognize that it was about run scoring."
Sure wish I knew what *that* meant ...
But the turnaround at the plate is huge - that was getting scary.
Hook 'Em! ...'til early in the morn.

He was talking about how the coaching staff was approaching things.
He went on to talk about how he had them watch Moneyball to reinforce the idea that it's about on-base percentage and getting runs across. The main thing was trying to make them not try, rather just go out and be patient and let the game come to them.

I was starting to wonder if Augie had lost it. I guess he showed me.

Anyone know off-hand what the team batting average is now for the season? Not great, but it's gotta be better than it was several games ago!

Statistic worth noting---
'The University of Texas was the Top Hitting Homerun Team in the Nation in 2010 with 87 homeruns and in 2011. With the new BBC Core bats, they hit only 19.'

High School and College teams struggle with the New BBC CORE bats. What to do?

The new regulated BBC Core baseball bats used by high school and college baseball teams have killed most teams potential to hit for power and higher batting av…

Crazy. Texas hit somewhere around .360 in the Oklahoma series last weekend.
They didn't have the best batting average against SFA on Tuesday, but their on-base percentage was great. They got on base 13 times due to errors, HBP and walks.
Team OBP now is .363.

Bruce,
The bat manufactuers have tweak that bats again and now they play more like wood bats. Last year those bats suck and this year is the 1st year for High School Teams to move to the BBCOR bats.

Yesss? And I am glad they reduced the reaction speed. Is it too much, we'll see one way or the other. Texas has almost hit about 5--6 more HRs already.

Thanks for the updated batting average and OBP numbers, guys. Augie cares a lot more about OBP than BA.

Lead-off and Base Runners are the key.
