Happy Friday, Y’all !

It’s a huge weekend for a struggling Texas Tech Baseball team. West Virginia rolls into town and it’s one of the best chances Tech has left to take down a good team here in Lubbock. WVU is a borderline national seed right now with an RPI of 20 according to D1 Baseball. In fact, D1 has them as a host right now if the NCAA Tournament started today. We have check on this and it does not…

That said, if Tech can take a couple of games and get some momentum back everyone would perk up around the program. Adam Hayes moves into the starting rotation from the midweek so Tim Tadlock is pushing buttons. It’s all about trying to get a team built that can win the Big 12 Tournament right now for Tech. Will we get a glimpse of that team this weekend.

We’ll talk about that, Tech Softball at Utah for an extended stay, Round Two of The Masters and how Ludvig Aberg bounces back and we hear the NFL Draft is looming. That’s a good thing for a lot of lRed Raiders.
