    Up to 44 in RPI, but more importantly we are creating some separation in RPI points with the teams behind us. We are 48 RPI points ahead of the #50 RPI team which is Troy, and for reference we would lose 13 RPI points with a loss today. Lots of moving parts because of the other teams play games too, but we have built a little cushion. If you want to get pissed, based on my calculations if we had the UTRGV and A&M Corpus games in the win column, we would be around 30th in RPI right now.

    Aka try to play well enough to force the committee to not send us to A&M or Arky.

    100% agree with resting or limiting Whitehead and Boehm in the Big 12 tournament assuming we have very little to play for. We win this series and Kansas, I think we are locked into a 2 seed no matter what. Lose one of these series and we are probably a 3 seed. Lose both and nevermind. I would include Grubbs in that as well. Both he and Whitehead are going to blow by their career high in innings pitched. Maybe you don’t fully sit them, but I’m not going more than 60-75 pitches.

    I think that definitely plays a role. I know in the SEC they grade umpires based off TrackMan so the pressure is there to be have a good zone all 9 innings regardless of score. And good zones often mean smaller zones compared to the college umps we complain about who are giving 6 inches on both sides of the plate.

    Meant to mention this earlier but Pierce said this week he thinks LBJ has been tipping pitches. He said the issue popped up about 3 weeks and they’ve been working with him to fix it but he thought it popped back up again in the 5th last week when OSU opened the floodgates.

    We need to figure out who our 3rd and 4th options out of the pen will be if we want this thing to go anywhere in the postseason. My guess is Tumis and Hurley are given chances in the next few days in high leverage spots.

    That was an uncharacteristic outing from Boehm and he still found a way. Big time from him.
  8. Hookem2147
    That 2-2 missed strike 3 cost Boehm about 10 pitches

    Holy hell that was right down the middle

    Hell of a job by Grubbs. He has stepped up his game since moving to Friday.
  11. Hookem2147
    Straight to Boehm territory? Might not be the worst idea to stretch him out with the postseason coming up.

    Please don’t bunt

    Dirt field gets you those type of hits

    Is it just me or does that mound look super flat

    O'Dowd at 2B tonight. So predictable after he hit the homer on Sunday.

    I just looked it up. Teams with ERA's under 5.00 2017- 161 2018- 176 2019- 150 2021- 127 2022- 91 2023- 62 2024- 59

    We better throw Cody Howard then if we don't want the ball to be put into ball

    Saw this stat this morning. Number of teams in the country with a ERA under 4.00: 2017- 63 2018- 66 2019- 45 2021- 38 2022- 14 2023- 5 2024- 6

    The Little League field at ECU still takes the cake when it comes to the smallest fields I've ever seen Texas play at.
  20. Hookem2147
    UCF ranks 11th in the Big 12 in homers and 9th in slugging % but is 1st in ERA, so maybe the park doesn't play as small as it seems.
  21. Hookem2147
    Hurley. Since there are no midweek games the rest of the way, he is the long guy and I'm sure they won't hesitate to put them out there early if a starter is struggling.

    You have to pump out content to make money, grow your channel, pay employees and keep people engaged. It's certainly a lot if you want to listen to each video they put out, but I like that OTF has consistent programming. I can watch a replay of coffee and football on 1.5x speed during lunch and catch up fairly quickly on anything notable. Also can skip over the 5 superchats a day asking about the interior defensive line.

    TOF news: Our largest baseball NIL donor has committed to matching dollar for dollar during May up to 250K in new donations that are designated to baseball.

    There was talk that year in 2022 he was going to be let go if he missed the tournament and they were the last team in the field. So this is really three straight years where they have been not good in the regular season. Of course he was extended after the title so no idea what his buyout might look like. They might have to suck it up for one more year.

    Is Mike Bianco going to be fired at Ole Miss two years removed from a national title? They have been absolutely horrible two straight years. Just lost to Murray State tonight.
