    It really is disheartening that Lebarron didn't do anything to get better after last year, which makes his decision to comeback that much worse. He has the ability and pitch mix to be an elite arm if he could just command his offspeed. This is where players have to take self accountability in their own development, coaches can only do so much.

    He is the only thing this team is missing. Offense is Omaha worthy, Ace and Max as #2 and #3 starters are Omaha worthy, Andre, Gage and the rest of the bullpen are enough. Just no #1.

    If Texas is able to make it to a game 3 in a regional I honestly think I would roll with Hurley which is sad to say

    This is a bad take. They have been way too hot and cold to be "Omaha Worthy." They have definitely improved as of late and if they are hot in the tourney, anything can happen, the talent is there. But they have been quiet in so many high leverage situations all year and have also disappeared for games at a time.

    So we’d rather be a 3 seed in a bottom half national seeds region than a 2 in a top half national seeds region, correct?

    Any advantage of being a 2 seed overs 3?

    On paper, yes I agree with you. But in order for us to have any sort of momentum as a team (and any real shot at taking a regional), we will need a strong finish to the season. So if we are losing to the likes of UCF and Kansas and end up as a 3 seed, we probably arent even beating Indiana State/ECU in their regional anyways; so the point will be moot. 

     

    I would rather weasel our way into a strong 2 seed by making a run in the Big 12 tourney and winning 5 of our last 6 games to close the season.

    That's pretty wild.

    Also looks like a recipe for an early Big 12 tournament and/or regional exit.

    Obliviously it's a good thing to beat up on the lower end of the conference, but a 15-0 record against the rest is absurd and has more than a little luck involved. And this is baseball - that luck will run out.

  4. Texas wins both final series and wins a couple of games in the big 12 tourney= Not a shitty 2 seed

    At the moment, I see us in Arkansas's regional as a 2 seed most likely. But could also see us in Aggy's. We need to play ourselves out of that situation.

    I'd effort to get big leads (I know, real cutting edge thought).  And then get Arch real reps running the offense once game is out of hand.

    More than a decent chance Arch will need to play out of necessity.  These 12-15 game schedules lend themselves to needing QB depth for injuries.

    I bet Ewers will get hurt like he always does and then Manning will get a chance to take the starting job from him.
