Need to get some revenge on the Owls

In today’s Chronicle, I saw an ad that said tickets start at $15. Start at? And yet you could pick up $2 tickets at UH for the home game of this series.
We really leave a lot of money on the table for baseball. If you want to see us play, most would pay $8 instead of the $2 deal we have

It’ll be interesting to see who they go with on the mound tomorrow. Henry is probably a no go after the last outing. I’m thinking some combination of Hurdsman, Bielamowicz, Pulido and maybe Fletcher/Villareal (though I realize those two pitched a decent amount over the weekend).
I think they give Henry another shot; need him to gain confidence.
But wouldn’t be surprised to see Pulido out there. He didnt warm up at all over the weekend.
If he puts Henry out there first, I sure hope he has a much shorter leash than last week.
I’d imagine Henry will have a very short leash if he’s out there.
Totally agree with this statement. I seriously doubt that there has been anyone say, hey tickets to the baseball game are $2, let’s go. $2 or $8 is not going to cause someone to go. However, $2 hot dogs will sell a few more.
I suspect someone else will start but Henry will be brought in to relief with a very short leash.

I can’t believe that this game will be played tonight.
Tarp’s off, lineup is posted, one change as Nick Slaughter gets his turn in the 8 hole as I’m guessing they want Bielamowicz available in the pen tonight
