  1. Big chance for a RPI move if we win this series. RPI formula loves wins away from home (which we have only done twice this year). Looking at Warren Nolan a win tonight is worth 101 RPI points, which would bump us up almost 10-12 spots with a single victory (pending movement from other teams). So a series win would have us moving upwards 20-25 spots which is a huge jump. I typically ignore RPI until around mid-April when a lot of the outliers have fallen back to the pack and teams have 4-5 conference series under their belt, but road series always create the possibility for a lot of movement.
  2. Very good for hitters. Field faces north. Ball will be flying out.
  3. Wind blowing out of the south up to 25 MPH in Manhattan this evening
  4. I don’t want to get in a pissing match over this because this team ain’t hosting anything. Texas won the Big 12 last year. They were the #1 seed in the conference tournament and won the tiebreaker against OSU and WVU. If OSU and WVU want to claim some shared title Texas A&M style then good for them. The point remains, Texas last year and TCU in 2022 are the only regular season champs (the team who got the #1 seed in the conference tournament) who have not hosted since the Big 12 was created.
  5. Big 12 Champ did not host last year because we were the champion. Actually back to back years it happened because TCU didn’t host in 2022 either. Prior to that though you are correct, it had never happened. But yes, if we somehow pulled a 20-10 record out of our ass in conference play we would probably host. I say probably because losing games to A&M Corpus Christi isn’t typically a part of the equation. Every Big 12 opponent we play from here on out has a top 100 RPI and we still have to go to Manhattan, Norman, Houston and Orlando. All 4 of those teams have top 60 RPI’s. A 16-8 finish would mean we won quite a few of those road games and our RPI will likely go way up.
  6. Would still trust him more than any other basketball reporter in the Texas market
  7. Come on. We all know baseball isn’t linear like that. There are going to be years the ball doesn’t bounce your way and it’s Michigan, not exactly a powerhouse. Bakich is a top 10 coach. Him, Link Jarrett at FSU and Rob Vaughn at Bama are right up there on my list. There is no slam dunk. No Augie out there waiting to be poached. Jay Johnson and Tim Corbin aren’t coming here. Just like with most hiring processes, you have to look heavily at traits and what translates well to a place like Texas.
  8. Do us all a favor and go back to the football boards
  9. Just read the exact quotes from Pierce and I would consider Witt done. Sounds like some sort of cleanup procedure for scar tissue or a bone spur.
  10. Again, this team is not void of talent. We have 6 guys hitting above .300 and another one in Gasparino who is just below .300 but is as talented of a freshman as we’ve had in a long time. ERA, walks, WHIP all down from last year. Shit just makes no sense man. Would be a lot easier to accept if we looked out there every game and saw a bunch of garbage.
  11. We’ve dug ourselves a hole in RPI. We are now in the 70’s and to even be in the conversation for a regional you have to be around 40. Have only won two games away from the Disch and they were both against Tech, who is in a free fall of their own. You can’t pile up Q3 and Q4 losses, especially at home. RPI will crush you.
  12. I can get over losing a random ass Tuesday game every once in a while, but when you have already lost a home series to Washington and suffered a Q4 loss to Baylor you really can’t afford to take these sort of L’s. I know I’m stating the obvious there but yeah…
