Boneheaded losses especially close ones that are winnable isn’t a recipe for post season success. That’s not Texas good. Anyone who thinks this team is a favorite to win a regional isn’t paying attention. Now I’m whatever about it. One game at a time, enjoy the wins and stick around with enough positivity to enjoy a run if it happens. But expecting it isn’t really where this team is this year unfortunately. They are a good Texas team(at this point), just not very good or great.

Yeah Ole Miss and OU looked great at this point last year

April 22, 20232 yr are we doing two full 9 innning games? or the old way of a 7 innning first game and a 9 inning 2nd?

I just can’t agree to that given the way the last 3 losses have occurred, record against top 20 teams, the weakness of the Big 12 this year, and the fact that the win total is bolstered by a March schedule that would make coach Gus blush (RIP). I’m not saying they can’t go on a run, get Witt back and it might be game on, but right now I think this team is ok not good.

Fullerton has a real chance to win their conference and is a top 50 RPI team. Every single team in the country plays a New Orleans and Manhattan equivalent at some point. We aren’t unique in that. Sam Houston State is projected by many to win their conference, same with Mercer (who has won 40 games like 5 straight years or something ridiculous). A&M is a tournament team. Indiana is freaking projected to host a regional (can’t remember if that series was late February or early March). Our non conference SOS is significantly better than last year in every metric. It may not have been designed to be that way but it turned out that way. Edited April 22, 20232 yr by Hookem2147
April 22, 20232 yr Yeah this definitely not a “good” team relative to other good Texas teams. We don’t even have a shortstop. I can only think of one year since Ive been watching where that was the case annd I think it was due to injury. We only have 1 good starting pitcher? That’s really unusual for this place. We do have one swing and miss guy in the pen but he almost always walks or hits people so he’s negated.
April 22, 20232 yr I couldn't make today's day game so sold my tickets. Now they say Saturday tickets are valid for both games. What the fuck is the reason for that? Email says I can exchange Sunday tickets for a GA. Why don't they use Sunday tickets for the night game??

Flores just isn’t ready yet. May be time for another lineup shuffle as well with Peyton Powell hitting .226 in 13 conference games. The pen implosion makes Daly’s defense irreplaceable right now. He’s settling in nicely at short, the team is fielding .994 in conference, and the bench options have proved unusable. Agreed on more DH opportunities for JD. We only have 4 guys hitting over .250 in conference and don’t have the bench to shuffle many of them. Powell’s defense and slugging keep him in the lineup

April 22, 20232 yr Agreed on more DH opportunities for JD. We only have 4 guys hitting over .250 in conference and don’t have the bench to shuffle many of them. This is poor. Yet somehow we focus on the bottom two guys. We’re generally not productive when our top 3 in the order are no good. As someone else mentioned, it’s probably time to adjust the lineup. Thomas is hot. Powell is not. Flip them. Stack the hot hitters.I’d suggest Belyeu as a DH against righties. It’s fine giving JD periodic ABs, but he hasn’t done much to warrant them.
April 22, 20232 yr 5 of the first 7 batters are lefties against a lefty starter. Should be interesting.

April 22, 20232 yr I know I’m a broken record, but playing Flores at this point in the season is really frustrating. Carlson, Galvan, and JD have way more upside right now.

Doesn't seem like something he'd do but I guess it's possible.

April 22, 20232 yr Morehouse coming in with the bases loaded and none out I kind of want to see Sthele start the 2nd game as well. Pull him after he goes 2-0 on the first batter. Edited April 22, 20232 yr by zlavydra
April 22, 20232 yr We continue to dominate on the mound. Unreal. This is likely going to really fuck up his ERA.
