  1. Hopefully they get Bing an inning on Tuesday. He is better than that. Had to be first game jitters.
  2. That was somewhat jarring for a guy who was all about command/control.
  3. No shot we are starting at 6:30
  4. Well the ESPN app had the score flipped so this comment sounds a little dumber. Still think Ole Miss is a borderline tournament team and Bianco needs success this year.
  5. Ole Miss is going to have a new coach in about 3 months
  6. Louisville up 8-1 on Arizona
  7. The new trend is hitting your best all-around guy second in the order, right? Conventional wisdom says you want them to get as many AB’s as possible. I wonder if Belyeu could end up there at some point this year. The small ball game under Augie and to a lesser extent under Pierce meant we usually had a guy who could bunt and handle the bat well in the 2 spot.
  8. Interested to see Bing tonight. Similar profile to Harrison. 88-90ish, strike thrower. Only 12 walks in 70 innings last year.
  9. Name mentioned by Bobby this morning. Previously worked with Flood. https://huskers.com/sports/football/roster/season/2024/staff/ej-barthel
  10. He wants a high OBP guy up there with some pop. He had Grahovac lead off for A&M much of last year. The only other options that make sense are Mendoza (13 walks all last season), Winfield (strikeout prone) and Rodriguez (freshman). I guess maybe Farmer too but small sample size. Rodriguez seems like an obvious choice once he has some more AB’s under him if he shows he can handle it and cut down on the swing and miss.
  11. Bing or Volantis is my guess for tomorrow. I think they will ease Grubbs back in a midweek game.
  12. Max Weiner for president. Two games in and I already love this guy more than I did 6 months ago.
  13. No strikeout that inning. Progress
  14. I got the count at 12 straight at MLB stadiums and 8 straight at globe life. 2022 Big 12 championship- L to OU 2023 opening weekend- 3 L’s 2023 Big 12 tournament- 2 L’s 2024 Houston tournament- 3 L’s 2024 Big 12 tournament- 2 L’s Last night
  15. Yeah I get what he was trying to say but not something I would say after a loss like that.
  16. Listening to what Schloss said pregame and postgame on the radio and you can tell he is not thrilled that he inherited this tournament on the schedule. Said Texas isn’t afraid to play anyone but we should always be opening at home in basically a tuneup series and that “we’ll see what he is talking about after this first year in the SEC”. Then said after the game that we “didn’t open with some team up north who hasn’t been outside in months.” He definitely doesn’t sugarcoat much.
  17. I guess I shouldn’t talk too much because our schedule would probably look similar if we weren’t committed to some of these non-con tournaments before Schloss took over. Will be interesting to see when the metrics come out but my guess is we will end up playing one of the 3 toughest non-con slates in the league. Our only layup is Dartmouth while most other teams have 3 layups and 1 semi-tough weekend.
  18. Lots of teams really challenging themselves to open the season
  19. The two best players on the field were Jared Spencer and Ruger Riojas and they both wore other jerseys last year.
  20. It was nice to see two left handed pitchers throwing harder than 87 on our team tonight.
  21. This roster has holes but is 3x the roster Schloss inherited at A&M that finished dead ass last in the SEC the season before. Let it play out. Also, there is no such thing as 3 year rebuilds in college sports anymore with the portal.
  22. He’s ready or he wouldn’t be pitching in games. At some point he has to pitch haha. Can’t just hold him back the whole time. His stuff looked fine. Fastball up to 95. Wasn’t like his control was all over the place.
  23. Is this where I softly whisper the bullpen was actually decent last year and the starters were much more of our issue? Mercer got put in a tough situation in the 9th with 2nd and 3rd and 1 out. Hard to blame that on him. The 10th is all him. We fired all our known bullets tonight so will be interesting to see how the rest of the weekend goes.
  24. Hey the freshman made a play!
  25. They stretched Riojas out preseason to 40-50 pitches I believe. He might get the rest of the way if there isn’t major trouble.
