Keith Law from ESPN was right on the money with his assessments of our team.  Appel continues to demonstrate the makings of a bust.  I see he was able to carry his no-hitter only as far as the 5th, clearly sputtering early.  He continued to demonstrate the lack of a strikeout pitch, fanning only 10 Longhorns.  I don't know how he expects to miss any bats at the next level which such terrible stuff. 

In addition, Marquess continues to smother our hitters.  You can particularly see the effects our our flawed approach in the top-4 hitters in the lineup.  They managed a mere 10 hits in 14 ABs against Texas.  These are the veterans of the Marquess "one size fits all" system, and you can really tell the negative impact of Stanford coaching in a game like this.  Gaffney continues to be "a mess"...that 0.421 average is not going to impress anyone.  If he were still playing at the same level he did in high school, his average would be 0.821.  The difference with the well-groomed Longhorns was stark.  While the Texas team had only 5 total hits, it was obvious that their hip turn was being properly unleashed unlike the Stanford stiffs.   

Kudos to Law and ESPN, that guy had some serious vision when he ripped the Cardinal last week.
