  1. LSU vs A&M is going to be very interesting on a number of levels. If LSU loses today, their RPI is going to fall all the way to #14, and I am not sure they get a top 8 with an RPI that low. Obviously, if A&M loses, their season is over, and that would be glorious. Good day for hate watching.
  2. The biggest complaint on here the last month was watching too many early pitches.
  3. We have a 23% K rate this year. A&M was 22% last year and that lineup was miles better than this one and they still struck out a crap ton. It is part of the offense. Eventually people will accept it. We make 27 outs in a game and this staff has openly said they are willing to have a lot of those be strikeouts in exchange for more walks and driving up pitch count.
  4. Mississippi State was run ruled in both their SEC tournament games in 2021.
  5. A&M last year lost 2 of their final 3 SEC series and went 0-2 in this tournament and it turned out just fine.
  6. There is not much you can do there.
  7. Correct. And what’s the #1 bitching point? Approach and strategy. I don’t think the hitting coach is Tommy Farmer and Casey Borba’s problem. They couldn’t hit Big 12 pitching last year. These guys are coaches, they ain’t miracle workers.
  8. Our hitting coach is our head coach.
  9. Arvidson pitched in their game yesterday and we are letting him do this
  10. Alright we’ve had our fun. Put in Duplantier and let’s head back to Austin.
  11. This Tennessee pitcher was committed to us last year out of junior college. Unfortunately he was also run off at A&M by Schloss his freshman year so he wasn’t coming here to play for him.
  12. He is a 17-year-old freshman, so I'll cut him some slack, but it would sure make me feel better for his long-term future on both the baseball and football fields if Jonah Williams could play more than 2 or 3 games in a row.
  13. I took the house settlement piece to mean the roster limit more than the money aspect. But if it was the money piece, why would the house settlement be relevant to a guy who went to Harvard Westlake and has a Dad who is VP of Scouting for the Dodgers?
  14. Correct. And as a 5th year senior coming off injury, the reference to the house settlement would probably apply to a guy like him. Also, does anyone consider Gasparino a “fan favorite”?
  15. Unless I’m missing something, the obvious answer is Ace Whitehead. Didn’t play this year, has 1 year of eligibility left and Blake had to answer 20 questions a week about his progress throughout the season.
  16. I’ll be interested to see if they can get a few extra ticks on the fastball for Volantis once he spends a full offseason in the weight room. His long term future is as a starter but damn having that kind of arm in the bullpen is such a weapon, especially in the college game where leads are rarely safe.
  17. Tarp (A&M 247 mod) seems to be strongly hinting that Earley is coming back and the big money isn't angry enough to make him go away after 1 year
  18. Skip Johnson must have a great agent because I was pretty surprised he was linked to the A&M job and used it to get an extension last year. 1 good season in 2022 and 6, about to be 7, missed postseasons and regional exits around it. Losing record in conference play in 4 of those seasons.
  19. No way Tennessee can host right? Lost 6 of their last 7 series
  20. OU remembers what happened last year when they called it with us ahead. I don’t doubt Skip was stalling big time that last half inning and won’t be in a rush to resume this one.
  21. The ability for us to always have 8 or 9 in the order due up with runners in scoring position is honestly hilarious
  22. 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.
  23. I am so ready for another SS next year. Don’t even want to know the NIL commitment we made to Flores.
  24. Team batting average is .259 with the bases loaded. Second lowest in the league behind OU at .145.
  25. Our super power this year is loading the bases for guys like Gasparino, Farmer and Williams.
