Congrats to MS. We took them to the wire but they had the magic this year. I look forward to next year. Should be another trip to Omaha.

So you would’ve rather lost to ACU than, say, Kentucky in MBB?Those pitchers Bednar and Sims are incredible actually that whole staff is. I don't think there's any solace in losing to the team that won the title. But why does have it to be an SEC school remember KY in vb?
To be honest I'd rather lose to Princeton than an SEC school.

Not trying to be a sore loser, but I'd bet money that we would beat them in a regular 3 game series when both teams have all their pitching available. We couldn't beat their ace but I think we would have won the next two. It was bad timing that we kept getting matched up with their ace. Going through the loser bracket is a tall task for any team. Such is baseball.
Yeah, losing your first game in a tournament puts you in a very bad spot. Fighting through the losers bracket burns up your pitching and gets your rotation all out of whack. Win your first two games at the CWS and you're set up. Call me biased, but I think that Texas was the best team in Omaha. Congrats to MSU for winning it all.
Undoubtably. Bad timing to clam up in game 1. MS deserves it. I don’t give a sh^t about SEC. Aggie can post a new trophy on their wall.Yeah, losing your first game in a tournament puts you in a very bad spot.

According to the MLB Draft Ty was not the top pitcher in the Big 12.
21. Chicago Cubs: Jordan Wicks, LHP, Kansas State
Since seeing Ty pitch game 1 in Arlington I just didn't see it and him getting racked at the end of the year didn't help his stock either. Looks like second round is up next and Ty will probably be drafted then. Didn't live up to his expectations. Pitchers from other schools I have not heard of got their named called, but Rocker and Leiter both went in the top 10.
Very interesting. I wonder if it was a signability thing? He (Ty) was ranked by pretty much everyone in the top 10.
We don't have a single bat currently that is a top 5-6 pick for a club that would bring significant bonus money. The only for sure player that is gone is Madden (non-senior).
Aroin is back
Zubia is gone I guess...did he say he was because I think he has a year left. He'll be a FA sign, maybe 17-20 rd. pick
Daly is back
Williams can get drafted, but he won't be a top 4-6 round pick IMO
Faltine is back
Kennedy can get drafted, but I doubt he does. He'll be back
Antico is gone
Hodo is back
Melendez can get drafted, it'll be interesting to see where he is taken. He has plus power, but I wouldn't take him or offer him enough where he'd want to leave.
That is 5 coming back for sure IMO, and probably 7 bats coming back.
Madden is gone. He'll be a top 15 overall pick. Thanks for the good times young man!
Stevens is a tricky one. He is 22 I think already and has a TJ in his past. If he has any desire to play pro ball he needs to go if drafted. He doesn't have the arm or stuff to be a really high pick, but he is certainly draftable/signable. With MLB cracking down on the amount of affiliated clubs, less guys will be drafted/signed however.
Hansen is back
Nixon is back
Witt is back
Quintanilla can get drafted, but unless he just doesn't like school I think he will be back
Kubichek can get drafted, but I don't think he will.
We should have a very solid core back. We need an ace to develop and we need guys like Daly, Melendez and Williams to become elite bats.
If I get picked in the 20th round of anything other than a "who looks hottest in a G-string" draft, I'm going to thank my lucky stars that get to go back to college.
Piazza was drafted as a favor. Did you know that?Are you saying Zubia and Cam should come back? If those dudes have any desire to see what they can do in pro ball they have to go. Or were you recently in a g-string draft? Or both? 😂 🤘
I'm sure you know this, but once upon a time Mike Piazza was a 62nd rounder, lol. That was back when the draft lasted as long as teams wanted to keep making picks. Crazy that it is only 20 rounds now.
