We tweeted yesterday that Ricky Jacquez, Freshman Texas Baseball pitcher, was dismissed from the team for unspecified violations of team rules. The announcement hit the media avenues today that Jacquez was, in fact, asked to leave the team. Two days… two freshmen pitchers gone.

While it was not disclosed exactly what Jacquez did to merit his dismissal by Augie Garrido and the Texas Athletic department, rumors have certainly been thrown around. We will not get into those but what we will tell you is that the series of events in the Missouri game in which Jacquez was supposed to pitch were a bit odd.
