  1. I would say most years you are going to have at least 1 annoying midweek loss and some years it might be 2. You just can’t do what last year’s team did and lose to UTRGV and A&M Corpus while also dropping home series to BYU and Washington. That is how Q4 losses stockpile quick, but I don’t think this team is in too much danger of that with pretty much every SEC series being Q1 or Q2.
  2. Hard to believe that UTSA team lost 2 of 3 to UT Arlington to start the season.
  3. That wasn’t even a bad pitch from Ruger. Low and away offspeed and it wasn’t even a balanced swing.
  4. Burns and Winfield were probably our two most hyped up transfers and they are borderline unplayable.
  5. I’m not sure it’s our night
  6. I am so tired of the Cody Howard experience
  7. The rest of this season looks very different if Dre misses any amount of time. That is my #1 concern right now.
  8. He’s a good pitching coach, not a miracle worker
  9. I sure hope so because the other option was he got nervous for a 5-3 midweek putout against UTSA
  10. Burns fastball must be as straight as an arrow
  11. Sending him back out there was stupid.
  12. We are gonna have to use Dre or Ruger
  13. Burns does not have it. Not sure why he is still out there.
  14. That 2-0 pitch on the caught stealing was right down the middle. Like literally center center.
  15. Cain was holding Galvan? He really is the most conservative third base ever.
  16. It’s been a slow burn with him at the plate but you can see him coming around. Next year may be the year he hits .300 with double digit homers and steals while playing gold glove defense.
  17. Just don’t ask him to track a fly ball
  18. Ruger gonna get an inning or two against his former team? Only threw 25 pitches on Sunday.
  19. I'd be pretty surprised if Galvan caught tonight. He was already banged up heading into last weekend, then caught 14 innings on Sunday. Farmer's defense is good enough to where you can probably stick him in the 9 hole and let him fight through things. Outside of him and Winfield, can't really think of any viable options unless they throw a Jonah Williams hail mary or something unexpected. I would assume the freshman position players outside of Rodriguez and Chamberlain (Scott, Luna, Jordan and Richardson) are all redshirting at this point if you haven't played 18 games into the season even in blowouts.
  20. Schlossnagle mentioned in his weekly interview with OB today that we were close to getting the sidearm reliever from Mississippi State we roughed up on Friday (Hungate) in the portal this past offseason. Transferred from Virginia.
  21. He'll be Pierce's hitting coach at Rice and life will really come full circle
  22. If they don't advance out of a regional, I put it at a coin flip that Earley gets a second season. If they don't even make a regional (which is now on the table), I don't think he is getting a second season. I'm already dreaming up a scenario where Earley is fired and Grahovac is a Horn for his final season.
  23. Listening to what Lemonis said postgame for Mississippi State and he brought a rule I didn’t even think of: On the botched pickoff attempt, it was actually a balk since Grubbs attempted a pickoff with no one covering the bag. So on a balk you get to take the result of the play or one free base. So Lemonis went out to say they would just take the free base after his guy got thrown out at home, but the umpires told him once a runner tries to advance more than one base, the balk is nullified.
  24. Miss State and OU got two of the easiest conference draws. Miss State misses Vandy, Georgia, Arkansas and Tennessee. This was a series they needed to win from a RPI standpoint if they wanted any shot at hosting. I do agree they are a solid club. They can pitch with anyone.
