Tadlock said in his presser Micah Dallas will start against Michigan. Would be a great day to have an offensive explosion, which I feel like we’re due for one.
Just happy we get a shot with this group.
Baseball is the cruelest fucking sport. For example. You probably heard this story a thousand times...but I was on the 1979 Wise County Little League Mets. A group of castoffs that went undefeated 2 seasons. Anyway, in the championship of the qualifying tournament to decide who qualified for the qualifying tournament, we got beat because the umpire called 16 straight balls against the best Latino 9 year old to ever pitch. Ishmael Rivera. That’s right. Years later, Turns out our coach was banging his wife and his sister.
Never saw UCLA play until the last game. Just my snapshot assessment was they seemed like they were shocked they weren’t steamrolling. When Coastal Carolina made their run that was pretty much the same look Tech players had.
Michigan is definitely a nice ball club. Hard as hell to get to the CWS on the road the whole tournament. Now they are 2-0 and they are salty. I imagine they have an army of fans on the way to Omaha to pile on.
Whammer takes about 7-10 pitches to dial in as you know...Tadlock couldn’t afford it, and for a moment it looked like he chose poorly, but Floyd turned out to be the fix.
Wish we were playing tomorrow instead of Wednesday. The day off thing messes with me. Don’t know how it effects the players.
Evidently Techs leadoff hitter had surgery this morning on his hand. Gabe Holt. Great AB’s that eats up pitch counts, infield singles, defense, steals. Tough out.
We have another “closer” that carried us thru Conference. Beeter. Tadlock really doesn’t use his bullpen like most in assigning roles. Starters and relievers pretty much.
Against a lineup like the Pokes have....it’s going to take a army of arms late anyway.
Baylor is not an equal. They should not be. They should be broken and scattered. Waco should be bulldozed, salted, and a massive tarp should be put down as a warning for future generations.
