Makes the game very boring to watch but the data (at the MLB level) is hard to argue with. Almost no correlation between strikeouts and wRC+. I do think at amateur levels where the pitchers/defense aren’t as good, you’re better off putting the ball in play and taking your chances vs swinging big.

Errors actually happen in college baseball and bunts and slow grounders put pressure on the opposition. Wait why am I talking to a moron Fucking hell. @ss13 @Beau Vine you guys couldn’t keep Vic and helobious contained in the mlb thread!???
June 20, 20223 yr I went to my in-laws' this weekend and was traveling during both games. I was annoyed about that as late as Friday afternoon. Now I'm glad that I didn't watch those two embarrassments. Exiting like lambs. Fuck.

June 20, 20223 yr Smoked brisket and ribs and sat down to watch the game with my dad and all my kids. Hell, my 11 year old daughter stuck around to watch the Astros game afterwards. Today was a good day. Losing baseball games happen, whatever. Don't give a shit that it was to that mosquito in college station.

If you’re still shitting your pants at your age, then you have way bigger problems than losing to aggy. In fact, that probably means you are an aggy.

No, he used something called "pitching," which is a necessary component of winning with small ball. Small ball doesn't win you shit when you're giving up 7-10 runs in a game.

June 20, 20223 yr ugh. already getting shit in the office. came in to a longhorn with its horns “sawed off” taped to the door. eh. rivals are what makes college sports fun. right?
June 20, 20223 yr ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's honestly the only good thing about getting eliminated quickly in Omaha. When U-Dub went 0-2 in 2018, I brought back an extra suitcase full of half-price shirts.

Last won the title in in 2005 and since then, we have only been 6 times, with 1 runner up finish. 4-2 (runner up), 0-2, 2-2, 0-2, 2-2, 0-2 Outside of 2009, since our last title, we are 4-10 in Omaha (8-12 including 2009). Aggy would kill for that 4-10 record in 5 trips, but that's not our standard. Just brutal that the softball team did what everyone expected the baseball team to do (make the champ series) and the baseball team's 2-and-Q was what we expected for the softball team. Such is the ball and bat sports.

June 20, 20223 yr Pete is an excellent pitcher. I love Pete. That said, he’s not the caliber of Texas aces from the past. He’d have been the third starter on a lot of old Texas teams. That’s just reality.

We did have bad games during the season, but you should not have two of those back to back in Omaha. Not for a former #1 ranked.

You can be realistic AND not be a participation ribbon guy at the same time. I know it’s crazy, but it’s true. Oh, and former #1 ranking means Jack squat. No value. Nada. Guy’s who are against participation ribbons should know that beauty pageants are bullshit too.
