April 22, 20196 yr D1 Baseball Chat B12 Teams Not good when Texas is not mentioned either pro or con. Texas is ranked 39/40 in the 4 major RPI polls. Unless things change, may be headed to College Station as a 3 seed (just a guess). TCU lost 2/3 to KState this past weekend. Looks like they may have to win B12 Tournament for postseason. KState playing really well but OU, Baylor, WVU, Kansas remain on schedule. KState will have to win the B12 tournament for postseason but most teams would rather not play them at this time. TCU17: What should I make of TCU at this point? It feels like they’re a good enough team to be in the postseason, but their RPI has tanked with the series against Long Beach State and Eastern Michigan – a combined opponents’ record 45-186-3 and when you add the six games. There is opportunity left with Dallas Baptist and series with Baylor, West Virginia, Texas Tech plus the conference tournament, but they also haven’t played consistently enough to instill much faith that they will take advantage of these opportunities. Are we looking at back-to-back years of missing a Regional? Kendall Rogers: TCU is a strange club. I think TCU has the horses to go a long way in the postseason if it can just make it there — but the Frogs are just so inconsistent right now. Nick Lodolo looked great one week, then got shelled at Kansas State over the weekend. With an RPI in the 70s right now, TCU has some serious work to do down the stretch to be comfortably in the field. I’m not sure it happens at this point, but I’d like to believe in it. TECHSAN: Caleb Killian has been on fire the last two starts. These type of performances are what we expected to see at the start of the season. How big of a factor can consistent starts from Killian be to the Red Raiders this late in the season only back 2.5 games? Is there still hope for the Red Raiders to return to a top 10 level club after under performing most of the season? Kendall Rogers: TECHSAN, I said this on the Podcast a short bit ago, but Tech has finally started playing like the team we thought it would be coming into the season, and certainly the rise of Caleb Kilian is an integral part of that. I’m excited to see what the Red Raiders do down the stretch because I think their better days are ahead. Jason: I wanted to get you guys thoughts on how important the next two weekends are for Oklahoma State. This weekend they travel to Lubbock and next weekend to Corvallis if they come out of those at 4-2 what would it mean for there postseason views. Aaron Fitt: If the Cowboys go 4-2 in Lubbock and Corvallis, I think they’re a stone-cold lock to host a regional, and a really strong contender for a top-eight national seed. That would be a huge, huge splash. And heck, the way they’re playing right now, they’ve got at least a shot. Aaron Fitt: We’re not trying to predict the field of 64 with our Top 25; we’re just trying to recognize good teams having good seasons. Often that coincides with postseason positioning, but not always. A rambling response that may or may not answer your question, sorry! https://d1baseball.com/featured/d1baseball-weekly-chat-april-22/

Tell me that isn't worth a little whining. OK, point taken ... although I’m not sure why the average Texas fan cares. As for beating that “storied” program, the only thing I can discern as a similarity with our previous teams is the uniform. This year’s team is a pitiful representation of Texas baseball ... early season smoke and mirrors notwithstanding. Lastly, it’s arguable that KU is the worst team in the conference. I suppose that will be settled in a couple of weeks.

Guess the weather sucks. So Kansas is only about 2 GB us (as that stat goes) despite having played 17 less home games than us. That's like paper bag over head territory.

TCU playing as poorly as Texas.... lost 8 of their last 9 games. Never thought a Jim Schlossnagle team would get swept at home by Baylor. "TCU committed a season-high five errors to go along with two walks and three hit batters in Friday’s 6-3 loss to the Bears. The Horned Frogs also left 15 runners on base and were 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position." Hope WVa wins at least 2 games against the horny toads.....

WOW As critical as we have all been of Pierce, what the heck has happened to TCU (rpi 90) and their HC Jim Schlossnagle?? Thanks for the correction and adding the remaining B12 teams. Was pressed for time when I posted, but no excuse for leaving out WVa after this past weekend. Schlossnagle was quoted last year stating recruiting is a challenge because of the high rate of tuition at TCU. But they may have some internal issues - remember Schlossnagle almost went to Miss St last year. They have great assistants with Saarloos and Mosiello. Instead of the third paid assistant coach issue which was recently denied, NCAA really needs to address the scholarship issue. Unlike their peers on the football and basketball teams, most Division I baseball players are not on full-ride scholarships, and that puts private schools like TCU at a disadvantage when it comes to recruiting. NCAA rules limit teams to 11.7 scholarships to divide among a maximum of 27 players. Each player who receives a scholarship must receive at least 25 percent of a full ride. At TCU — where the cost of attendance tops $60,000— that means a player and his parents could still be on the hook for up to $45,000 a year. By comparison, a player receiving the same 25 percent scholarship at Texas or Texas Tech would pay $18,700 a year. https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/college/big-12/texas-christian-university/article212140924.html Read more here: https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/college/big-12/texas-christian-university/article212140924.html#storylink=cpy Read more here: https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/college/big-12/texas-christian-university/article212140924.html#storylink=cpy Edited April 29, 20196 yr by torre

I didn’t watch because, why would I?
