  1. TCU’s season is hitting the fan right now and I am here for it. ULM already up 2-0 in game 3. ULM has yet to trail in the series going for the sweep
  2. It’s very minor but that is how the RPI works. You gain RPI points when the teams you played win and vice versa
  3. TCU now down 13-8, ULM gets 4 back in the 6th
  4. I was just saying even coming into the weekend Kansas probably had a slightly better shot than Kansas State. Both would have had to win the tournament regardless. KSU’s RPI was irreparable.
  5. Probably benefits us for Kansas to finish the sweep today. Kansas has a shot to finish in the RPI top 50 which would give us 3 more wins against a Q1 opponent. Kansas State is dead, have to win the tournament. Kansas actually has a slim chance at an at large with their RPI currently sitting at 56 with Tech still to play. Good news for us is everybody around us is losing giving us a real shot at the #2 seed.
  6. I don’t know much about any of the players except the names of several of the Texas players and I know who is good for Texas. Know nothing really about any players for other programs so if the girl on 1st for Okie State was slow and someone they would usually PR for... Man that makes it worse
  7. Probably right, but there at least has to be a play at the plate IMO on a play like that. Just doing a disservice to the competition
  8. I get softball isn’t supposed to be baseball, and I’m not advocating for that, part of what makes softball unique is that it’s the only women’s sport I believe that isn’t directly like it’s male counterpart. That being said I think we can all agree that there is something wrong when a runner on 1st can score STANDING UP on a simple drop 3rd strike throwing error down the line in which the RF was backing up the throw.
  9. As someone who doesn’t watch softball much because of what I just watched. Is there seriously not any discussion at all about moving the base paths back a little?
  10. With D1's latest projection Omaha would look like this: (1) Arkansas vs (8) Arizona (4) Mississippi State vs (5) TCU (2) Vanderbilt vs (7) Notre Dame (3) Texas vs (6) Tennessee And if any of those teams were to lose nothing would change except just swapping out the team that wins the super instead of one to the top 8 seeds.
  11. The Big 12 won't end up with more teams in Omaha than the SEC this year, they are too deep. I could see each having 3 with ours being the obvious and there's being any mix of FLA/VAN/ARK/TEN/MSST. Only team that should be behind Texas is Tennessee. Arkansas and Mississippi State are legit but I believe we can hang with both. The Vandy suck fest is real though doesn't seem to matter what they do, every site just says "don't care Rocker and Leiter". Those two are the reason though that it would benefit Texas to not be the #3 seed. Don't want any part of Rocker or Leiter in Omaha until the championship and right now we'd face them game 2 in Omaha potentially.
  12. This is a HOT take, mainly because the only person here that is blind is the guy that hasn't been watching a 38-12 baseball team that is currently projected to be the #3 national seed
  13. Unrelated to the series. I am really surprised Jared Southard hasn’t gotten more opportunities. His stuff looks really good, he looked great against Okie State. Walks are a little up there but not any worse than some other guys that still get opportunities like Justin Eckhardt. You look at Justin’s numbers compared to Jared’s and I’m actually baffled that Jared hasn’t gotten a mid week start or more opportunities out of the pen
  14. Depends on how bad the 4 seed is. In 2018 we got Texas Southern who is horrible. Some years you can get a school who has a good arm that you have to exert a little to beat. Just depends on the draw
  15. Big win, likely secured a top 8 seed and gave ourselves a chance at top 4 or 5. Bullpen going into the tournament should be Witt, Cole, and Nixon as your ride or dies. Wenzel and Gordon should be short leash matchup guys and if by some fortune you are kicking the shit out of somebody you throw everyone else
  16. Well today we learned we have a 3 man bullpen going into the tournament. Glad we found it out now when it isn’t going to cost us
  17. Texas and TCU would share the regular season title and Texas would be the #1 seed in the tourney
  18. Trey seems to be finding his groove
  19. Precisely the difference between a good pitcher and a great pitcher though.
  20. Lucas Gordon is Josh Sawyer 2.0. It is either really good or really bad.
  21. No plan... Late on the fastball, swinging at breaking balls out of the zone, just hoping to make contact.
  22. 2nd in the country in walks (254), 4 walks behind the team we are currently playing (they have played 4 less games) .278 team batting average. 405 strikeouts in 1609 ABs which is a 25% strikeout rate. Arkansas is striking out a 26% rate and TCU is striking out at a 24% rate. Two teams that the average Texas fan who complains about the offense would point too as teams they wish the offense would be like when it is exactly like those teams. Its why we lead the nation in wins right now at 37 with a pitching staff that is 2nd to none. Today Texas had 13 base runners (9 hits and 4 walks). TCU had 7 base runners (6 hits and a walk)... Baseball be like that sometimes. Just couldn't buy a hit with runners in scoring position along with a plethora of base running mistakes. There is nothing wrong with this teams offensive approach other than Zubia takes too many pitches at times (but is also why he is 2nd on the team in walks with 40) and Eric is mind fucked at the plate because he can't by a hit and his confidence is shattered due to the fact that Pierce tells him to bunt on at least 50% of his ABs it seems like. There are 5 guys on this team getting on base at higher than a .400 clip.. That is damn good.
  23. Creating realities in your head such as "this team can't hit" is also aggy
  24. Not over but sharing it is likely the best outcome with the loss today. Win tomorrow, sweep WVU, have KSU take one from TCU and you're conference champs and #1 seed in the Big 12 tourney.
