    Win today and we are probably safely in the postseason with the potential to play up to a 2-seed. Lose and we still have some work to do next week and potentially in Arlington.

    Have to give a hat tip to Schuessler for what he has done this year. Hitting .348 with a OPS of .990 with 7 bombs. Doesn’t strike out a ton and hits the ball hard often. Didn’t expect this out of him at all.

    At least they are making this quick and painless

    Honeymoon period is over with him. Made it 3 innings against OU, walked 5 last week in 4.1 innings and now this outing tonight. Teams are starting to figure him out. Slightly sympathetic considering he’s playing hurt but it’s a results game.
  5. Hookem2147
    Put in Cody Howard and save all the hits for tomorrow
  6. Hookem2147
    Going to be hard to win this one if we don’t get a hit
  7. Hookem2147
    You just can’t throw 84 at this level with a normal arm slot and see lineups multiple times.
  8. Hookem2147
    Struck him out twice and somehow walked
  9. Hookem2147
    Someone has to carry on what Eric Kennedy went through last year
  10. Hookem2147
    Should be another fun strike zone if the first inning is any indication

    Probably facing UCF’s best pitcher tonight. Only 39 hits allowed in 55.1 innings. Opponents hitting .196.
  12. Hookem2147
    Obviously he really likes being at Texas or he would have left by now because there were numerous chances for a fresh start elsewhere and he stuck it out. His brother still having two years left might play a role.

    Historically, you have to have a top 20 RPI and be at least a few games over .500 in your league to host. I don’t disagree that certain parts of our resume are good enough to host. But we won’t sniff a top 20 RPI because of the Q4 losses and RPI is basically the default metric used whenever the committee is making decisions.
  14. Hookem2147
    Correct. Redshirt junior this year. Covid in 2020 and medical redshirt in 2021.
  15. Hookem2147
    Nope. We are lucky to even be making the tournament with 8 Q4 losses. That is an insane amount. Every team in position to host has no more than 2 or 3.
  16. Hookem2147
    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.
  17. Hookem2147
    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.
  19. Hookem2147
    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.
  20. Hookem2147
    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.
  21. Hookem2147
    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.
  22. Hookem2147
    That was an uncharacteristic outing from Boehm and he still found a way. Big time from him.
  23. Hookem2147
    That 2-2 missed strike 3 cost Boehm about 10 pitches
  24. Hookem2147
    Holy hell that was right down the middle
  25. Hookem2147
    Hell of a job by Grubbs. He has stepped up his game since moving to Friday.
