Big win! We really really needed that.

Great effort McQuary and Gordon.

McQuary has some real Girodos on him.

Denver and Gordon were big time. Threw strikes all night. Great night on the mound. Denver gaining more confidence and has big stuff.

He was exactly what we needed. Self and Price should be loaded for tomorrow. Can't ask for more.

I assume Billingsly gets the start tomorrow.

Correct.

Huge win

Great effort from McQuary. He has potential to be really good the next few years once he becomes a little more consistent in the zone. He has a live fastball for sure. He gets good bite on his breaking ball too.

I'd be interested in seeing Gordon's stat breakdowns by inning. It seems he has much more success early on in games. His stuff seems to be better fit for mid relief. I'm hoping he has found a new role for our baseball team. For example, it seems he has struggled in the 3rd and 4th inning in most of starts (aside from UK).

Point being, his first time through the lineup seems to be effective. And he was consistently 91-93 tonight. Maybe he has a little extra on the fastball knowing he is looking at 6-12 outs as opposed to trying to get 12-15. It's a different mentality and some seem better fit for it.

I'm rambling and it is late. It's just an observation I had watching tonight. Cole and McQuary were lights out. It was awesome to see both of them step up.

Same for Vansau and LA. We left a ton on base tonight but continued to put ourselves in plus situations. You do that enough and someone will eventually come through. This team is so much fun to watch. Let's get another tomorrow. It is great to see the next man up mentality be executed like we are currently doing. TAMU is one of the hottest teams in the league right now. We beat a good team tonight.

It will be interesting to see how we pitch tomorrow. Self and Price should get several pitches and you can balance with Billinglsey, Plumlee, Jolly and Barlow.
