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?
ryanlionrah - May 16, 2009
Doubt it
I wouldn’t expect anybody to pitch more than a few innings, if the regulars pitch at all. It’s got that midweek game feel to it
40AS - May 16, 2009
When does the big 12 start?
Wednesday? Or is an all week thing?
blazzinken - May 16, 2009
I think it's Wednesday
And we’ve got some godawful game times, but not sure
40AS - May 16, 2009
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.
40AS - May 17, 2009
Chance Ruffin on the mound
Probably pitching so that he doesn’t miss a start, wouldn’t expect him to go long
40AS - May 17, 2009
Maitland in CF, Kevin Lusson starting at 3B, Preston Clark catching
Otherwise it’s the usuals
40AS - May 17, 2009
Groundout
2 singles, pop out, walk, groundout ends the inning
Chance struggled there but got out of it.
40AS - May 17, 2009
Leadoff double for Torres
LF lost the ball in the gray sky
Tucker walks, Torres steals third
40AS - May 17, 2009
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
40AS - May 17, 2009
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
40AS - May 17, 2009
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

40AS - May 17, 2009

1-0 Bot 3
Ags down 5-2 Bot 6
Jungmann on the mound, 5 Ks through 3.
40AS - May 17, 2009
Two walks and a pretty bunt
Then the pitcher throws the ball into the stands, probably saved a run.
Lusson doubles, 4-0
40AS - May 17, 2009
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
40AS - May 17, 2009
Keyes singles in Lusson
5-0 through 3
Ags down 5-2 top 8
40AS - May 17, 2009
Jungmann has 7 Ks through 4 innings
40AS - May 17, 2009
6-0 on Tucker double
Horns load the bases but a nice play by the 3B prevents them from scoring
6-0 through 4
40AS - May 17, 2009
8 Ks through 5
Halfway home, 6-0
40AS - May 17, 2009
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
40AS - May 17, 2009
Infield single ends Jungmann's perfect game
40AS - May 17, 2009
Strikeout, caught stealing, strikeout
10 Ks for Jungmann
40AS - May 17, 2009
Aggy got swept
Heh
Horns go 1-2-3
40AS - May 17, 2009
Workman in
What a gem by Jungmann
40AS - May 17, 2009
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.
amorphous - May 17, 2009
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.
40AS - May 17, 2009
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
amorphous - May 17, 2009
softball
is down 2-0 early to bama in an elimination (for texas) game
amorphous - May 17, 2009
bottom 3
same score
amorphous - May 17, 2009
Bot 7 8-0
2 runs here would end the game
40AS - May 17, 2009
Easy popup dropped by RF
Loy to 3rd, one out
Not able to do anything though, we’ll keep playing
40AS - May 17, 2009
Carillo comes in, gets 'em 1-2-3
40AS - May 17, 2009
HR Torres!
9-0
amorphous - May 17, 2009
He's been on fire today
40AS - May 17, 2009
the wind has been blowing in and hard all day
amorphous - May 17, 2009
Last regular season inning at the Disch
9-0
40AS - May 17, 2009
Isn't it a DH?
patienthornsfan - May 17, 2009
Yup
Horns took game one 5-1
40AS - May 17, 2009
doh!
texassports doesn’t show the first game score yet.
so when should we expect the regular season wrap-up post? :-)
patienthornsfan - May 17, 2009
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
40AS - May 17, 2009
Sam Stafford in
Sweet
40AS - May 17, 2009
Alabama A&M has one infield single
Horns have faced the minimum, then Stafford walks a dude with 2 away
40AS - May 17, 2009
Stafford walks in a run
1-0, 4 straight walks, Staffords day is done
40AS - May 17, 2009
Single, groundout to second ends it
9-3 Horns
