Thanks Joeywa. I checked my ESPN college baseball board during dinner to catch up on the Big 12 race.

 

Nothing. Nada. Not a single story that was not SEC-related was on their news board. Total SEC coverage. Nothing else.

 

I guess they've just decided to give the SEC two networks?

D1Baseball.com is the go to for any and all college baseball coverage.

Man, it's been up and down so far for Texas in the Big 12. It'd be nice to finish top 3 in the conference by season's end.

Considering this season was fresh with a new staff, and relying heavily on fresh,en, the fact that we are even having discussions about post season play is pretty good, in my opinion.

 

Due to whomwe play, Texas pretty much holds their fate in their own hands.

Yes, completely agree. I'm a fan of the new staff and I really think the team is coming together well. It's nice to see the bullpen coming together and the bats coming back alive a bit with Mathis back.

 

Hopefully we'll be able to win some on the road here at the end of the season.

[joeywa]

Get to 35 Ws and we may get a decent regional assignment post season. That seems to be the target number.

Uh I hope the committee doesn't watch this shit show in Sugarland tonight

How could they? It's not available on TV or stream anywhere.

Point well taken. Although Craig and Keith were together on the radio call.

Cliff notes?

Cliff notes?

7 to 0 after top of 2nd Henley and Malmin were terrible, couldn't string any hits together and 8-1 U La La Cajuns. Wasted night in Sugarland.

I'm at a conference and was happy to be on the golf course and not calling the game. I followed a bit on Twitter but it sounded awful.

 

Given my choices, I'd rather have a loss tonight vs a loss on a weekend upcoming.

 

Let's see what this does to the team.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that not a single member of the committee was sitting next to their radio tonight listening to Keith and Craig.

I don't know joeywa, I've expected to see some gravitas from these players following an embarrassment the last 3 seasons and haven't seen anything but a shrunken turtle. I believe in pierce and this coaching staffs ability to win baseball games, I don't believe in these players as a general rule.

[Coal Harbour]

I was at Constellation Park last night and was bitterly disappointed.  Henley was giving up rockets and Malmin threw two pitches to the backstop before facing his first live hitter, and it only got worse from there.  Its no fun to play when your down 0-7 after 2 innings, but if that's the effort when you come to the Houston area, your only hurting recruiting, not helping.  A wasted night.

Perspective:     Though ULL is ranked 24/25,   Texas is 36/37 RPI,  ULL  49/50.     I hate Tuesday games.

Last night:

 

SFA  6

TCU  2

 

NMex  16

Tech     5

 

UTA   11

OU      2   (canx in 2nd due to weather) 

 

 

Though ULL is ranked 24/25,   Texas is 36/37 RPI,  ULL  49/50.    It was an embarrassing loss especially for the Houston-Exes,  but that happens.

 

Concerning thing is Henley.   He is not progressing as needed, appears to lose focus,   Pierce/Haig need to get him on track.    We miss Josh Sawyer.

 

As of today,  we are still projected in the field of 64.   Step back from the ledge.

 

*We can always send the recruits a copy of the A&M game on 14 Mar.

[joeywa]

IMO, Henley is much better out of the pen in late relief.   

 

I like your approach mav.

True,  but Henley seems to be the best candidate for a 4th starter which is needed in a Regional.    Super and Omaha,  not so much.

 

Connor Mayes remains a mystery.    Second best era on the team his freshman year.

[Johnstark23]

In my opinion Henley is better out of the pen because he doesn't have too much time to think about it... in the bullpen you get the call and get loose... starting you have all day to think about it
