BASEBALL COLLEGE WORLD SERIES THREAD: Texas' special season ends in heartbreak.. (Sat. 11:15 p.m.)

Proud of these young men! They played their hearts out and came up just short. Their two losses were from a combined 2 runs. The future is very bright and we have the right staff in place to get our next championship. Hook Em and hang your heads high for what was a great season!
totally agree, i said as much 30 pages ago if you want to go find it. still has nothing to do with the point i'm making. pierce was only willing to use 3 arms in the pen... that is lighter than you would like in omaha.
Of course he was. Not many college teams have 3 dependable relievers, much less 4.
We won 3 games in Omaha, and lost two one-runners. Sometimes that’s how baseball goes.
A good season! They held up and represented themselves and our university well! They accomplished things the football and basketball team haven’t for some time. We have hope now in the big 3. We appear to have the right coaches. Thanks guys. Let it ride!
So for my first post in 8mos? Great season guys. No complaints and enjoyed watching.
Great season. Should come back pretty strong for next year too.

Settle down, Beavis. Congrats on your posting! I've been in multiple baseball threads this season, and read most of them, watching every game. You criticized a player, in a tense moment, that has performed well and is a big reason for being here. That's all.
Team is gonna be good for awhile. Studs
Great year. I hate we came up short but I love our heart.
i haven't looked at the vandy or nc st box scores, but i know msu threw a lot more than 3 guys out of the pen. sometimes you gotta throw the other guys out there to eat some innings to save your big dogs.
Great season! These guys were mentally tough, scrappy and a joy to root for all season. Hopefully, all of the freshmen improve with the bat and we add a couple too. Pitching was definitely good enough to win but we need to give them support. We were undefeated when scoring 5 or more and when we led after 6 for the season. Those are insane statistics at the college level.
Anybody blaming Pierce for not winning this doesn’t know the game. Losing the first game is tough for anyone even if you have a deep staff and great pen. Having 21 strikeouts in game 1 is the problem. Much better contact today but we couldn’t find many holes and they found enough.

Great season. Great post season run. Really fun team with a lot of heart and a lot of talent. Disappointed it’s over but thanks for a great run guys. 🤘

CF - Todd
RF - Hodo
LF - Kennedy or Campbell
SS - Faltine

Agree. After losing first game should have added Gordon to the rotation of relief pitchers being used.
PERSPECTIVE: Horns more CWS wins this week than aggy all time.
that’s not our measuring stick, but some consolation…
38 next year…

Why winning 1st game is so huge.
No idea how many pitchers MSU used but they played one less game. And in their two wins against us, they used one reliever. The same one.
Winners bracket vs losers is a huge deal.
Texas didn't have much faith in Gordon who has good stuff, but also has a tendency to have trouble locating at times. Tonight is where having a guy like Duplantier would have been huge.
I would have gone to Q earlier and tried to protect a lead. If we could have got to the 9th with a lead you could put in Nixon. Not ideal. But he could’ve gone.
but I do agree a deeper pen would have made it easier.
That’s a really good looking team right there. Plus they’ve got some solid post season experience and hunger to get back to Omaha and finish it off. I think the difference maker will be the bats. Got to be more consistent and improve on the swing and misses.
You mean like that comedian Gus?
Goodbye @DustinMcComas !
Thanks for everything and wish you well. Was hoping for a championship as your last memory, but still was a good run.
You’ll be missed. (I know you have a few days left but the last in game thread. )
Will also miss your pics Jack and Willie

of course... if we win game 1, we most likely sail into the finals without going beyond the big 3 relievers. once you hit the losers bracket, you gotta go deeper. hell, going back to witt for too much last night almost cost us. no idea who was going to close for us tonight if we had taken the lead. it is what it is at this point.
Not sure about that. The runner slid at least 3-5 feet too early and glided slowly into the base.
There are also some other guys that could make big strides in the offseason.
Cam Constantine and Dalton Porter are both young and can play.
For pitching, there are a lot of guys and there is definitely going to be a lot of attrition, but big summer and falls coming up for Caden Noah, Travis Sthele and Jared Southard.
