I'm not even angry. I mean, you can't catch what you can't see...and a couple GREAT defensive outfielders couldn't see it at all. Not sure what anyone can do but shake hands and get on the bus.

We got about all we could hope to get from this banged-up roster. Great season, guys. Next year will be better. 

Exactly right. It sucks. It sucks a lot. But I’m not sure what else you do. It clearly wasn’t easy to see. Everyone but one guy lost it. We have about as good a defensive outfield as it gets in college baseball and they lost it. 
 

Im pouring a bourbon. Tough night. 
Maybe we can get Sykora to campus.

Naw, they never saw it until it hit the field.  Nobody could even put their hand up to try to pretend or even simulate a catch--just never saw it.  That's not a choke.  It was a pop fly that got lost in the lights.  Doesn't happen much but happened tonight. 

This team fought all the way, and never quit--not going to call them chokers because of this moment.  

They call Arkansas chokers and deservedly so. Sorry man, cant do that in the biggest moment of the season. We gotta own the choke on this one. Jesus what a way to lose.

just keep running, don't stop , you'll find it.  Standing there is stupid. 

Which way do you keep running if you have no idea where it is?  Do some of you even baseball?

Ouch.

Congrats to Tree. They could've folded after having their hearts broke Saturday night.

Both these teams battled their asses off.

Super proud of our 'Horns. This'll be an unpopular opinion, but this was a decent season given the current state of the roster.

Hope Texas comes back stronger in 2024!

We over achieved it was a great season actually. There were 10-11 teams left playing today that’s better than we expected. Texas baseball is magic. Next year will be a great ride too.

The only guy who saw it was O’Dowd. Kennedy and Campbell both lost it. It was a tough play. It sucks to lose that way especially to such a douchy team.

I think Daly was the only guy that saw. Not sure O’Dowd did.

Yeah it was a decent year. Conference title and Regional title.

Kind of fitting for a team that flirted with greatness and disaster numerous times to end up in the pretty good zone.

We had two good transfers this year. Let's get more than two for next year.

*shared with 2 other teams in the worst year ever for big 12 baseball

Fuck that shit, the entire staff minus 3 pitchers didn't get hurt. Pierce's inability to recruit is what hurt. It's been an issue for a long time, he has never had a deep staff in 7 years at Texas.

I don’t know if that’s true. Our staff was plenty deep in the covid year, and the year after. This years is pretty deep before injuries but thems the breaks.

You really don’t get it, do you?

Choking is when you can do something about it and you don’t.

Those OFs have saved our ass all postseason, including tonight, and they couldn’t find the ball. 

We were undermanned and took them the distance in Game 3. Lost on a fluke.

Not a choke.

That wasn't even remotely the same thing as the Arkansas play. The only guy that could find that ball was our short stop.

Thing was, that was a super-hard hit for a pop fly, so I'm guessing it went sky high before anyone in the OF could start tracking it.

And if you have to start tracking it on the way down, you're fucked.  And if it's coming almost straight down in twilight, you're superfucked.

shitty ABs put us in this position. 

I do not understand not protecting the plate with a shorter swing when you have 2 strikes.  It's like our brains were switched off these last 2 games.

Whatever.  I'm going to go cop a feel on the wife.

The Joe Cook think piece titled “David Pierce is a Winner” was the kiss of death. What a jinx. You write that article after hoisting a national championship trophy. Not after you eke out a Big 12 Regular Season Championship. 

Pierce wins but he’s not the guy to win it all

You are saying Pierce did a shitty job of recruiting, because overachieving at Texas should not be a thing.

There’s a big difference in misplaying a ball and loosing it in the lights.  Have you ever played baseball.  Sucks but it happens.  Whoever is crying choke is really stupid.

JFC....3 CWS out of the last 4 years. Almost 4 out of 5. 

You should maybe look at who is committed to come in pitching wise. Or just follow Cougar high.

Another fuck off. Injuries and serious attrition from a CWS team and best offensive team we’ve ever had. Seriously all you mother fuckers with the hot takes go back to the football board.

Here is the explanation.  Anyone who's played the game awhile will tell you this is exactly what happened.  That ball was hammered straight up...a true pop up to the outfield.

The stadium there has unusual light standards (lower than normal) plus twilight plays worse in that park. That was FAR from a gutless choke.

It got above the lights. That’s when they lost it.
