February 23, 20241 yr 7 minutes ago, Teebox said: pardon my ignorance, but why isn't sunday's game televised? They’re showing the concurrent softball game against ULL live. That starts at 12:30. The baseball game begins at 1 and will be aired from 2:30-5:30. However, I’m curious if we’ll still be able to catch it live on ESPN+ Edited February 23, 20241 yr by MuellerHorn

You can always listen to the game on texas.leanplayer.com assuming they have their shit together finally.
February 23, 20241 yr Could be starting up to 4 freshmen at some point this weekend (Gasparino, Borba, Sanders, Kennedy). It's funny how last season at the beginning we all talked about how the team was too young and inexperienced, and this year's team is probably significantly younger than last year. Flores, Thomas, Belyeu, Galvan and Duplantier are all sophomores combined with the freshmen mentioned above.

Flores, Thomas, Belyeu, Galvan and Duplantier are all sophomores combined with the freshmen mentioned above. The lens of February completely fluctuates based on if we play in Arlington or Houston. Playing elite teams opening weekend ruins perspective. Our current crop of freshman would’ve probably gone 0fer like Flores/Galvan/JT (did JT have 1 hit?) to start last year if they had to see SEC arms in their first weekend of college baseball. If so, we’d be whining just the same about inexperience. Edited February 23, 20241 yr by UnhappilyMarried
February 23, 20241 yr I’ve got 4 tickets (2 in 109 and 2 in L3) and one parking pass to the game tonight and I’m out of town. If anyone wants them send me a PM and I can transfer electronically. EDIT: Tix are gone, hook ‘em! Edited February 23, 20241 yr by hornian

If so, we’d be whining just the same about inexperience. Good point. There is something to be said for guys getting acclimated and finding their footing early. It will be interesting to see how we schedule non-conference games moving forward. I bet we still go to Arlington and Houston regularly, but is there a need to test yourself outside of that before you play 30 SEC games? I noticed LSU's non-conference series this year are Northern Illinois (2), Stony Brook (2), VMI (2), Central Arkansas (2), Xavier (3) and North Dakota State (2). Even their trip to Houston is one game against us and then playing Texas State and Louisiana. Lots of stat padding before they head into the real part of their schedule.

February 23, 20241 yr I’m a proponent of scheduling cupcakes in baseball, especially with the new SEC schedule. Get your guys some confidence at the plate
February 23, 20241 yr It's telling that they already announced that Witt is not one of the starters. Pearce said last Sunday that he "just didn't have it" and that's why he pulled him early. Yet he not starting this weekend. Sadly, not sure he'll make it am the way back. Maybe the plan is to start him on a weeknight game.

February 23, 20241 yr Witt should be a non option until his fastball is back over 90. I’m not even worried about the strikes, his stuff is a dud

February 23, 20241 yr If that is your criteria then the people two years ago who said he would never pitch another meaningful inning for us were correct.Depends on how one interprets this. He pitched meaningful innings last year. Even had some successful ones.

Started in the de facto Big 12 title game on Sunday vs WV and the regional final vs Miami. I’d call the WV outing the only successful one TCU .2 IP 3 ER KU 1 IP 3bb SJSU 3 IP 3 ER 2 clean innings, 1 messy WV 3 IP 0 ER Miami 2 IP 3 ER 1 clean inning, one messy

What the fuck I think it would make more sense to flip the two games, even with an 11:30 start, so Cal Poly can hit the road home, since ULL is a lot closer. But, I don't know if ULL softball flies or drives to Austin.

February 24, 20241 yr Nice inning for LBJ, especially considering the lead off guy (Cal Poly's best player) singled.
February 24, 20241 yr So can this Cal Poly pitcher entire the transfer portal . . . for us . . . now? Good stuff.
February 24, 20241 yr Pitcher for Cal Poly throwing 94 as a lefty so basically a 98 equivalent for a right hander. Killing it.

February 24, 20241 yr 3 minutes ago, SameSame said: We don’t have any right handed hitters to mix in at the front of this lineup? I don't think we're gonna set our lineup based on who Cal Poly is throwing in the 5th game of the season.
February 24, 20241 yr We are getting worked right now. I think we will see some better results now that everyone has had a look.
February 24, 20241 yr Random Q: any of yall have a good ticket guy? Wanting to take the wife to aggy game and my old ticket guy (Phil) has either died or gotten a new number.
