  1. Looked it up and Antico was at .208 on this date in 2021, but he also walked a ton and provided great defense in CF. I also don’t remember us having an obvious replacement whereas Farmer is actually playing really well.
  2. He was a .278 hitter in conference play so sounds about right. They apparently made some big mechanical tweaks to his load and swing before the season. Obviously isn’t working.
  3. Schloss has seen enough of Winfield. The Sun Belt must be horrible.
  4. One thing we have been good about all weekend is working the pitch count of these starting pitchers early. Considering this is their closer and last chance at chasing a win, it’s extra important today.
  5. Gerry said last week Beard is going to be lobbying hard for the Indiana job. Ole Miss is set to lose like 7 of their top 8 scorers so I think Beard knows this is probably the time to bounce.
  6. There was apparently some contract stuff that had to be sorted out and there was an incident towards the end of the season that complicated some things. His office was cleaned out within a week of the season ending. If it was all about having the next guy lined up and not wanting to draw unnecessary attention to him, why didn’t they just wait 24 more hours to fire him after the championship game?
  7. Very little benefit of that in this instance. It makes more sense when you need to do more background work and there is a true decision to be made. It’s not like other schools and agents don’t know Texas is opening. No one is going to be caught off guard whether he fired tomorrow or 3 weeks from now.
  8. 5-9 Q1 record for Texas vs 5-10 Q1 record for OU. I’m gonna assume a team that has won only 6 conference games has never made the tournament.
  9. Someone will have to explain to me how “ESPN odds” say 6-12 OU would have better odds to make the tournament than 7-11 Texas.
  10. Schloss said postgame they expect Bayles to start tomorrow (Santa Clara closer and their best pitcher) https://santaclarabroncos.com/sports/baseball/roster/max-bayles/8659
  11. Sigh. Should be 13-0
  12. Fair. We need a couple of Tech, OSU or Illinois to be good in conference play to help prop up those wins. Louisville and Ole Miss look to be quality wins.
  13. Winning all 4 non-con series/weekends is a great start after what we saw last year. 0 or 1 midweek slip ups and 16 SEC wins and this team should be hosting.
  14. Strike 3 wasn’t even close
  15. I actually like that they pushed him today probably out of his comfort zone. You have to ride your horses in conference play and we are going to need him to save our ass a time or two if we want to accomplish our goals.
  16. It’s college baseball so I expect some stupidity but sometimes the red light needs to be put on to prevent players from doing dumb stuff.
  17. This dude is throwing 86 MPH fastballs
  18. Do they try to get 3 innings out of Dre? Burns time?
  19. That probably needs to be it for Ruger in this one.
  20. These stupid outs on the bases have to stop
  21. Harrison does not have it today.
  22. No need to steal when this dude is handing out free bases. Come on.
  23. Winfield starts every count down 0-2
  24. They really want to get Winfield going. It isn’t applicable today against a righty starter but I’m starting to wonder about Rodriguez against lefties. He is like 2 for 16 against them this season. Maybe he should still be in the lineup regardless but I’m probably not batting him cleanup.
  25. They used to have a couple of legitimate arms back when they were going to Omaha semi-regularly but no HS or portal arm wants to play there anymore with how hitter friendly it is and their pitching coach is apparently a joke. Tadlock won’t get rid of him because he’s too loyal.
