April 13, 20187 yr You can sign up for a one month subscription to the sooner sports network for $9.99. As an added bonus you can see the dedication of the Bob Stoops dick statue live later this month. I'd pay the $9.99 to watch if there was some way to host it for all of surly.

April 16, 20187 yr #23 in current RPI. Going to be a rough 7-8 days as far as RPI goes. 6 games against 236, 240, 176, and 133. None on the road. No room for a loss there if we are aiming to host.
April 16, 20187 yr Time to start stacking more wins. UTRGV, Texas Southern, New Orleans X3, Houston, WV X 3, and Texas State. Should be able to win at least 7 or 8 during this 10 game stretch. Edited April 16, 20187 yr by texasstrong12
April 16, 20187 yr Would love to see us take down UTRGV, TSU, NO, and TSU. That is 6 wins and we should be able to win the UH matchup and the WVU series. 9 wins would be amazing right now.
April 16, 20187 yr Because I like numbers... A look at runs scored by inning this season: TEXAS Inning 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Runs scored 28 15 28 30 38 18 26 20 15 Average 0.737 0.395 0.737 0.789 1.000 0.474 0.684 0.541 0.682 OPPONENTS Inning 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Runs scored 18 18 28 10 28 23 21 14 18 Average 0.474 0.474 0.737 0.263 0.737 0.605 0.553 0.378 0.581

That is 6 wins and we should be able to win the UH matchup and the WVU series. 9 wins would be amazing right now. Team sits at 24-14 with 17 games remaining. If Texas can find a way to finish the season with less than 20 losses, i.e. they'd need to finish 12-5 or better (36-19 overall or better), then they have a very realistic shot of hosting a regional. Especially if they can find a way to finish top 2 or 3 in the conference. I'm pretty sure Texas was the 2nd or 3rd highest rpi at the end of last year's regular season that didn't host, and I think it cost them dearly. Had that regional been played in Austin and not Long Beach, I think the Horns win that regional and host CSFU in Austin for the supers. Ifs and buts are candy and nuts, I know. Anything less than 5-0 this week would need some serious explaining. New Orleans is the highest rated rpi scheduled this week, and it currently sits north of 200... Maybe Ridgeway will mow some guys down and fix whatever problems that have lead to his complete inability to throw scoreless outings this season. Edited April 16, 20187 yr by X-Wing @Aliciousness
April 16, 20187 yr Beau is just fucking broken right now. Pitching with the pressure of trying tk get drafted and it really shows. 18-1/3 innings, 13 walks, 5 HBP, 19 hits, 9.82 ERA and a smoooooth 1.75 WHIP (2.0 baserunners per inning when you include the HBP! That's just as terrible as he has looked)

April 16, 20187 yr He needs to hit rock bottom and truly believe he has nothing to lose, like McGuire did. If he realizes his stats can't get worse and he can't hurt his draft stock any further, he will suddenly start pumping strikes again and regain his confidence. It's amazing how confidence or lack thereof snowballs in this game. Edited April 16, 20187 yr by B00M

April 17, 20187 yr D1 baseball just released their first post season projection. Have us as a 2 seed in the Dallas regional with DBU, Auburn, and Oral Roberts. https://d1baseball.com/projections/2018-preseason-projected-field-64/ DBU is also the 16th ranked national seed. Edited April 17, 20187 yr by Schnitty3
April 17, 20187 yr I'd take that regional, but it would suck getting matched up with Florida in the Supers
April 17, 20187 yr Yeah Florida would be tough. We're the 4th best 2 seed behind Mississippi St., Vandy, and Rice.

Nico did Nico things vs A&M, the ground balls he induced once he put himself into a jam just missed our infielders this time. We know exactly what we have in Nico by now. I like this move a lot, give another young arm an opportunity to emerge.
April 18, 20187 yr Hosting probably requires winning one of tech and tcu (finishing second in the reg season) and not dropping any other series.
April 18, 20187 yr On 4/16/2018 at 5:02 PM, zlavydra said: Pierce must be pissed at Nico. Whelan on Wednesday? Kam Fields getting the start. I think Pierce knows the teams we're playing this week are terrible, and is trying to get inexperienced guys more time on the diamond while still expecting a win. If the team has their heads screwed on straight and doesn't play to the opponents' level, we should expect to see more results like last night against UTRGV
April 19, 20187 yr The players were super cool to my 9yo. Took time to sign his ball and talk to him about his school, team, and baseball in general. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 19, 20187 yr If we win 3 of the final 4 series, I bet we host. We should win the WV and New Orleans series. Just need to win 1/2 against TCU and Tech.

April 19, 20187 yr WVU is not awesome, but I don't think we've ever a) swept them anywhere or b) even won a series in Morgantown.

April 19, 20187 yr We'd have to take all 3 of the remaining conference series to host. Or go 2-1 amongst the 3 series and one of those wins be a sweep. And we need to do no worse than 5-1 in non-conf. play from here on out. And then the conference tournament will actually be important again from a fine-tuning standpoint. A couple of weeks ago, it'd be insane for us to be entertaining this notion but it's not out of the realm of possibility. Worse case is play it out and maybe get a close-by #2 seed and hope for a shot at hosting a Super Regional (we were inches away from that last year).
April 19, 20187 yr 21 minutes ago, Lobo said: We'd have to take all 3 of the remaining conference series to host. I don't think this is true. Texas Tech is #3 in RPI and it's on the road. Going 1-2 against Tech on the road will do very little to our resume. Matter of fact, going 1-2 might actually help it. If we win the the remaining 6 non-conference games against low RPI teams, go 2-1 @ WV, go 1-2 at @Tech and go 2-1 against TCU I bet we have a decent to good shot to host.

April 19, 20187 yr I'm sure this has been bitched about before, probably even belongs in the "trivial things" thread, but what would it take to get Keith Moreland or parrot Lowell to call a base hit a mother fucking "HIT"? Even just sometimes?! They have ruined the word "knock" for me. It's not clever, or cute, it's fucking annoying to replace a short, elegant word that has a technical meaning with a longer, uglier word just to be different. /rant

April 19, 20187 yr I really like how a ball will be hit solidly and Lowell says the batter "crushes" it to right field, only to see the RF make a routine catch.

I actually think we would be better off as a #2 in a close by regional. With the new 1 to 16 seeding, if we host we will be one of the lowest seeds and end up with a very unfavorable super match up. As a #2, we might end up with a super match up that we could win. Let aggy host as the #16 seed and get swept by Florida in the supers.
