  1. The ability for us to always have 8 or 9 in the order due up with runners in scoring position is honestly hilarious
  2. Nah, these coaches aren’t gonna pull a Pierce and let Mitchell Daly slide over to SS. They will add one in the portal. Arod likely slots in the OF long term.
  3. I am so ready for another SS next year. Don’t even want to know the NIL commitment we made to Flores.
  4. Team batting average is .259 with the bases loaded. Second lowest in the league behind OU at .145.
  5. Our super power this year is loading the bases for guys like Gasparino, Farmer and Williams.
  6. We hit a lot of batters but we also seem to lead the league in pickoffs so maybe we can tell ourselves those offset
  7. 1-2 pitch was right down the middle. Ball.
  8. I just don’t think he is as trustworthy as Farmer defensively. And he is 2 for his last 12. Small sample size but Farmer and Rodriguez are swinging the bat better. Probably also want to see if Chamberlain could be a trustworthy bench bat in the postseason.
  9. Another good example of how a rough end to the regular season sometimes don’t mean a damn thing
  10. .143 average with a .400 OBP is about as unique of a line as you’ll see. Him and Borba have similar missions this summer. Take your selective eye and just swing the bat a tad more.
  11. If yesterday was a regional game they 100% go back to Volantis in the 8th. You are right that it is kitchen sink baseball. The middle relievers and midweek guys you use to pad your stats go away. You have your top 2-3 starters, top 2-3 relievers and run them into the ground. It goes back to the momentum comment I made earlier. We could use Volantis today to win a 8-7 game and we feel like we have “momentum” but is that giving us the best chance long term? Same thing if we lose 8-7 today with Hudson Hamilton throwing the final pitch and Volantis and Grubbs in the dugout. Is that something that would ever happen in a regional game? Brand new season starts in 12 days. Nothing carries over.
  12. Walks are not an issue and haven't been really all year. 3.75 allowed per 9 innings is good. You want to be under 4. Last year we were at 4.37.
  13. 47 pitches on Thursday. I'd be surprised given the circumstances. This feels like a Burns and Dre game.
  14. I think I laid out the stat earlier this week about A&M going 4-7 in their last 11 to end last year. I am not a huge believer in momentum because everything basically starts over in the postseason and oftentimes you are only as good as the starting pitcher for the day, but it sure would be nice to win this series just from a vibes standpoint. No Volantis or Grubbs today will make it interesting. OU threw their closer two days in a row so I would assume he is done but Skip has run guys into the ground before.
  15. Not sure how we can make any definitive statements about Riojas after an outing where I believe 5 of the 7 hits he gave up didn’t leave the infield. It wasn’t anything like his previous two outings. We've seen Grubbs start this year and it wasn’t pretty. My hunch is he is just as much a one time through the order guy as Riojas. We really need to hope we get a pushover 4 seed so we can get through that first game with secondary arms and line Harrison up to pitch the 1-0 game.
  16. I’m in the business of scoring more runs than the other team. Let’s go be Kentucky fans if we want to hang our hats on HBP and not striking out.
  17. OU threw their closer back to back nights and ours won’t pick up a baseball til Monday. That and letting them little league ball us to death for 5 batters in a row was the difference.
  18. I’m going to assume the left/right splits on Crooks must have been extreme
  19. You do realize we raised his ERA right?
  20. Ruger didn’t look great but the line is going to look a lot worse than his actual performance.
  21. Lmao they gave Flores an error on that first batter?????
  22. Considering this strike zone and shaky defense behind him, I’ll consider this a step forward for Ruger after the last few weeks.
  23. This strike zone is something
  24. That pitch didn’t even seem that bad
  25. We are at the point where I’m starting to believe we are going to upgrade at SS next year just by Flores leaving.
