re: can we admit Texas threw some solid pitching?

All of the relievers they threw were their normal weekend or high leverage guys.

The only outlier from that standpoint was the starter. But, he was a reliever last year, is in his third year in college, and is working with a new pitching coach. He's throwing in the midweek because he didn't have enough consistent control to put him on the weekend but they wanted to get him a lot of innings to work it out because his stuff is so good.

Based on his first couple starts of the season (and of his career), he's well on his way. Up to 97 last night consistently. Good slider, great splitter. I think he will be on the weekend for them at some point this season, and sooner rather than later. And I think he put himself on the draft radar last night.\

Woody Williams is a good pitching coach. He was kind of toiling in anonymity for a while at San Jac, because no one pays attention to JUCOs. But he was developing a lot of guys there and moving them on to 4 year schools or pro ball. Looks like he's helping Lebarron Johnson put it all together.
