Texas Baseball

[clob94]

All games are on FSSW.

Just realized we play in an hour. Fvck! Got to reschedule two calls and a meeting.

Our Italian pitcher Bocchi is getting the start (I think).

So. Other teams in a similar spot lost key series as well, and they wouldn't be the regular season and tourney champ of the 2nd best conference in the nation.

Say what you will, the sec is generally regarded as, hands down, the best baseball conference. After that the ACC and the PAC also get more love than the Big XII. Hard to make the argument the Big XII is the 2nd best conference when you have the same number of teams in the Top 25 as the AAC...

Teams in Top 25 by conference
ACC- 5 teams
AAC- 2
BIG- 1
Big XII- 2
Pac- 3
sec- 7
other- 5

 

[westx]

Down 3-1 in the 9th. Time for rally hats, gentlemen.

 

[JHop6714]

That was a very poor showing.

Unfortunately, I've seen this trend often in Texas sports the last few years. We rally for a big win, and then ride the hype into the next game for a disappointing loss to a lesser opponent. I was hoping this Pierce team had bucked that trend.

 

[BringBackRoyal]

Very sad performance today indeed, and a potentially serious blow to our ambitions to host. Here’s hoping they can get themselves straightened out and win at least a game or two.

 

[weevilcatch]

You're absolutely correct. Top 8 right now are (my order):
UF
Stanford
Ole Miss
OSU
UNC
Arky
Clemson
Georgia

After sweeping OSU, Tech is still likely ahead of us for a super. So is FSU. My point was that we are essentially a shoe in to host a regional. Not likely going to be a Top 8.

Georgia has virtually the same record as Texa

Texas will host a regional

 

[RoboCocks21]

And connie Clark is finally resigning!

 

[JHop6714]

Coach tossed from this game in the 5th inning for arguing balls/strikes. This showing at the tournament is ugly and sad.

We sh!t the bed on this one.

 

[DHHorn]

Oh well. We will still host a regional. Save our arms for when it matters.

Need one of those Augie ass chewings!

 

[clob94]

I think Texas is going to host a regional. No way they go 2 and que in the conference tourney.

MM is officially the kiss of death......?????

 

[JHop6714]

It's exactly like what happened repeatedly to the basketball team, and what happened to the football team right after rallying to beat ranked WVU.

Hangover. We need to make some red eyes...

 

[LonghornMM]

I'll take the blame for this. I jinxed the team. To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement!

 

[ryan_sublett]

Texas got a regional host bid. After the tournament proformance they ar3 probably luck to still be hosting.

Good chance the Aggies head to either Lubbock or Austin as a #2 seed.

 

[RoboCocks21]

Don't forget last year they sent us to the west coast to play in the Long Beach regional aggy could have the same fate

 

[Oldmanastro]

Wow, we get TSU in first game Friday, aggies in region as 3 seed! Includes Indiana as 2 seed.

 

[Oldmanastro]

If it goes chalk, super regional would be at 4 seed Ole Miss.

 

[Steve-O-Matic]

For those interested, tonight's game vs. TAMU at 6pm has been picked up by ESPN2.

Who is this TAMU that you speak of?

 

[ryan_sublett]

Kody Clemens puts the boys on the board first with a big 3 run blast.

 

[easttx903]

that ball clemens hit was crushed.

 

[easttx903]

great play in the hole right there

 

[clob94]

Not sure if you saw the next dinger but THAT one was crushed.

 

[ryan_sublett]

Game starting to get away from aggy a bit.

 

[westx]

Game starting to get away from aggy a bit.

Yep, just a tad

 

[ryan_sublett]

Man kingham showed some guts. Stomach bug this week. Went out and threw 7 strong innings.

 

[Oldmanastro]

and 2/3rds!

 

[ryan_sublett]

and 2/3rds!

Yeah. Surprised me. I figured he was done. Whst a job

 

[Oldmanastro]

Ballgame!! Sitting in drivers seat for the regional.
As mentioned, Kingham was awesome all things considered.

Hopefully aggy and Indiana go extra innings tomorrow and use lots of the bullpen.

 

[RoboCocks21]

I love it when we make aggy look like the little brother
