Is anybody else going to address the fact that one of the Mississippi state players names is "Cumbest"?

God only listens to me when I hit my thumb with a hammer. Then, I'm the ass hole.
Well this not looking good folks. We needed that run right there. Even if we stop them now, they have the pitching advantage the longer the game goes.
You'd think that the Almighty would favor the noble and virtuous Longhorns over this team full of jeeters....
We have plenty of arms left granted witt and our closer from last night is done but we can do this
Well as a certain Great American that hangs around these parts would say....
"fvck me".....

Terrific year! Texas is almost a complete team. Need more dangerous hitters 1-9. Pitching, speed and defense is all over. A few good hitters but no elite bats currently. Texas is really close though.
Well boys-- another world series and another good showing. Nothing to be ashamed of. As I said before the tournament started, it was either going to be US or th SEC. Looks like it's going to be the SEC.
On the bright side, we won 3 games in this trip to the CWS. That's one more game than aggie has won in 6 separate trips.

Congrats to MS. They had it this year. We were close. Our team should be solid again next year. The team should be proud. See y’all in the fall for football.
I agree if you have one out already. But sacrificing a runner into scoring position with no outs is the same as a one out double. It’s all driven by advanced metrics. The metrics show that runners in scoring position with one out are more likely to score than a runner on first base with no outs. They just play the percentages. I don’t necessarily agree that it should dictate your managerial strategy all the time.
If they would of swing the bat a little more against that hittable pitcher we would of had a better shot. Kennedy just looking at a fastball down the middle is unacceptable especially moving up to the 2 spot in the line up! Seeing them from game 1 in Arlington till now I am proud of this team. Good season. F u Vandy and the announcers all over the sec d!ck
I know the reason for it. I understand the strategy. I get that a lot of people like it. I hate it. If my 9 hole is up, ok. If my 1-2 hole can bunt for hit, great. Any other scenario is a no for me.
LOL. I know he loved it. And there is a time for it. I like a more aggressive approach is all.
Proud of the Horns. working on your fourth straight elimination game is tough. If you are replacing Ivan with a pinch runner then you have to be all in. He has to steal and then you bunt. But it is nitpicking One thing I didn't realize is that Ms St would be Home team in both games. Seems unfair.
Great season by Texas baseball. Nothing to hang their heads about. I like the direction that coach Pierce has this team going in.
Hook'em!
Hook'em!
If MS had bunted more they would not have hit into a costly double play with men on base that derailed a possible great inning. I think part of it is that people don't commit to it like Augie did. They don't adequately practice it. It seemed like most teams that I saw both took too many pitches and were constantly looking for the big fly. Low percentage baseball. Just a casual observation. Congratulations on a great year. Your pitching and D especially were very impressive.
A sacrifice from 1st to 2nd for your 7-8-9 is low percentage baseball. Or really any sacrifice from 1st to 2nd. 2nd to 3rd is a different story however.
Next year we get almost everyone coming back. We lose Zubia at first and Antico at center. Two big bats we have to replace. Our ace is gone but our number 2 and 3 are coming back plus pretty much the whole bullpen. Future is still good for baseball.
Has anythign been announced? I was thinking Stevens, Quintanilla, and Kennedy could possible leave as well.
Anyone know Melendez's status for next year? We're losing quite a few key players. Still, the future looks very good for Texas baseball in the coming years.
It's hard to know until the draft happens.
Melendez is only a r-soph he hasn't seen the field yet, could they draft him just on his bat maybe but scouts want more. Just like Trey Faltine he is ready for the pros with his glove but his bat just isn't there yet.
