Schloss on A-Rod: "He doesn't need to take 1,000 swings to be ready. He can wake up and be ready to hit."

Ethan Mendoza "has been in a good place for a while," Schloss said.

To Schloss' credit, he's said for a while that he's liked the way Mendoza has been trending.

Casey Borba has been working on going the other way.

"He's been working on a simpler move — I'll call it that — with Tulo," Schloss said.

Schloss said Tulo continues to prove to guys with his work that you can get better throughout a season.

Schloss said Texas has some banged-up guys, so they need to cover some innings.

"We're trying to pitch the best pitchers the most," Schloss said.

Schloss: "We got out-hit tonight, but our situational hitting, our situational baseball was good."

Schloss: "Pitching, defense and timely hitting. Tonight, we got the timely hitting."

Schloss felt Volantis was pitching well enough through the fifth to send him out for the sixth.

On Burns, Schloss said it's the second walk that hurt the most. They got Smith where they wanted on the first walk, but Burns didn't locate the cutter well enough to get Smith to swing.

"Hope to see them tomorrow," Schloss said of the crowd. "Hope they stay the whole game."

"I always want to give the umpire the benefit of the doubt," Schloss said of letting players demand a review of a call. "But if you're right, let me know."

"If they can get on base and flip the lineup to Tinney and Robbins and Pack, that's when we have a chance to score a lot of runs," Schloss said of the bottom of the lineup.

Larson, Borba and Pendergrass went 1-for-7, but they scored three runs and combined to draw four walks.

That's it for Schloss and the Longhorns.

We'll see y'all tomorrow night!

Great job Jeff!  Enjoyed the read!🤘
