TCU Left him out there too long. Once the lead off guy gets on should have gotten him for the bellcow

Kent is one of those pitchers that has steadily progressed in his time at A&M. He redshirted and was on and off his redshirt freshman year. In fact, I remember he made his first major appearance against then #1 North Carolina in the Minute Maid Classic in 2013 and got destroyed by that team. He put together some decent performances out of the pen in SEC play, but wasn't every truly dominant. I'm not sure we ever expected him to be a big-time weekend starter.

He has stepped up in the 2nd half of the season, and the confidence has been noticeable since he outdueled Carson Fulmer in the SEC tournament. He works the corners with breaking balls and doesn't walk a lot of batters. Smart kid who Childress lets manage the game and make his own pitches. He is similar in style to a Greg Maddux in that he doesn't rely on blowing his fastball by the batter. I would say without a doubt Kent is our best pitcher at the moment. The Friday night guy, Grayson Long, is a high strikeout guy but he runs the pitch count up high quickly and gives away too many free bases. I think our coaches have told him to pitch more towards contact since the SEC tourney and that has produced mixed results.

I expect Monday's starter will be the big lefty from Lufkin, Tyler Stubblefield. He came back from an ACL tear before the season started in the SEC tourney and we have steadily worked him into more innings in the short time since his comeback. He pitched a gem against Cal last Sunday and has been pretty clutch for us in tournament games. He was the pitcher that pitched the complete game in the Houston Regional last year against Texas to force the winner-take-all game. Tyler would have likely been the Friday night starter if not for the injury and he has good stuff. He struggled through conference play in 2014 so I wouldn't call him an ace. He walks quite a few batters and is aggressive with his fastball, but when he is on, he is tough to string together hits on.

Tcu trying hard to screw this up

 

[drgilbert]

TCU pitching gone to shit.

 

[streettopeschel]

Tcu gets a man to second and he gets doubled off. Wow. To the 10th

TCU trying to pull off the choke job of the century. 

 

[Matt Cotcher]

TCU pitchers have combined to K 21 Aggies tonight. A school record for the Frogs.

Twenty. One. 

 

[Epictetus]

Here's my theory on baseball.

Game tied, you bat in bottom of the inning.

Late extra innings. That's the key here.

You score, you win.

Lead off man gets on.

YOU DO NOT BUNT YOU DO NOT BUNT YOU DO NOT BUNT...

You swing the hell away!!!

Attack, attack, attack.

You play small ball in March on Tue nights against non-conf opponents.

You want to go to Omaha, you play lights out and go for it.

 

[streettopeschel]

If it's the right move in March it's still right in June. Every team in the country would bunt a lead off man over in the home half of extras.

 

[joeywa]

Now 2 RISP after the SAC Bunt.  Absolutely the right call right there. 

 

[streettopeschel]

Wow. You gotta be kidding me. 1-3-2

 

[streettopeschel]

Ok. Bedtime.

 

[joeywa]

Ok. Bedtime.

Weak sauce. One-man dogpile too much for you today, precious? 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Sometimes the baseball gods are on your side and sometimes they aren't. The baseball gods do not want TCU to win this game.

 

[Johnstark23]

After looking where the second baseman was that was probably a double play ball so TCU got an extra hitter out of the deal, but man alive that's a tough break

 

[joeywa]

How in the WORLD is that scored a hit?  That's an E9.

 

[joeywa]

Say it ain't so?!  aggy P have some foreign substance on his mitt?  TCU seemed to think so. 

 

[tejasrulz]

Wow, what a way to lose the game! I told GBT that defense was aggy's weak spot & that play proved it.

Congrats TCU, good luck in Omaha!
