Rayner's Pissed

Think Rayner Noble is pissed that his bullpen couldn't do anything right in UH's loss to rival Texas in college baseball?

"I needed to see where a couple of guys were and I found out real quick where they're at," Noble said. "The thing we've got to do is get some experienced guys healthy, but we've got some freshmen waiting in the wings that have something on the ball.

"This game tonight was just information for me to find out if guys were ready or not."

Oh yeah, I think Rayner is more than a little displeased. But I'm sure he'll get it straightened out. He's sort of the anti-Dierker in terms of intensity and competive fire. And it shows in what he's done with UH's baseball program, which was mediocre at best before he arrived, despite a prime baseball climate and solid recruiting base.
