Yes we currently are not. We may get back there later on this season but right now we are down. Baseball is a cruel game.

We are a top 5 baseball team. Look around college baseball and you won’t find 5 teams better than Texas

[David Dennison 18,940]

Look on the bright side: we're 6-1 v. the SEC.

[D3zii 3,708]

Well at least WBB team is your big 12 tournament champs 

 

congrats ladies 

Hook’em

I think Campbell was 1-3 today. Took his strike out to a full count too. Not great but he wasn’t the problem. He mighta scored one of our runs today too.

[OB3 3,629]

Are they gonna use the same stream for the next game or starting a new one?

Pretty sure 2019 happened.

 

Difference between losing because you aren’t good. Then there is being not good and saving Bryce Elder for a 7 inning double header because you just want to win one game. That is what South Carolina did today.

We will win game 2 and be 14-3 so not all that worried. Just astonished that South Carolina’s program has fallen to that low.

We won’t have to worry about the team not facing adversity now so that’s good. I’m being serious.

And when we win this series and two more games in Carolina, we'll come home feeling invincible.

Same as it ever was.

This board has swung from "We would crush the 1927 Yankees"  to "we're not even a top-10 team"  in about one week.

Let’s just get this next one and move on.

they manufactured a 7 inning game and held their ace for it so that they could have a better shot at a win and they got it. Good job.

I’m with chase this team is easily top 5, even with the injuries and tomfoolery.

I mean I appreciate what you are saying but I actually do care about how we are playing not just if we manage to win some games. I don't think it is reactionary to notice when things are going well or not.

But it is a long season and this is baseball. It will go up and down.

We’re fine. Need a couple guys in the lineup to be more consistent. Guys like Luke, Sthele, Dre, Gordon, Cobb, Southard etc are going to continue to grow and pitch some good ball down the stretch. Need time for the staff to adjust to Witt being out. Lot of baseball left and definitely not worried about our ranking right now. 

[ClubWhatever 12,154]

Messenger swings at so many bad pitches. Does not fit our offensive approach.  It’s tough to think he was our best option to replace Williams.

Too good of a defense and deep of a staff

Oh FFS. Every game since the the LSU game has had rough moments in every aspect of the game. Unchararistic fielding errors and passed balls by Silas. Weird unimpressive outings by some of our pitchers. Holes in the line up. It is understandable, as we just had a major psychological blow by losing Witt. But it is freaking March, not June. No big deal, plenty of time to get the ship righted. But things are how they are right now. Every team slumps. Hope we break out it here soon. Fortunately the schedule gets easier for a bit.

Even the 27 Yankees went cold for a few games in there.

I'm chill. This happens every time. I am not singing doom and gloom just because pointing out we have had a rough couple games. Every fucking baseball team ever assembled has rough patches.

You must not watch much college baseball

[hobbes2702 13,049]

Things are fine. It’s fucking baseball. You lose games, you make errors, you go on slumps. The team has lost 3 games by a combined 7 runs. 

[Terry Silver 219]

At least we’re not aggy 

[Hookem2147 21,345]

If this team has GREAT regular season, they will still lose 10-12 games. We will probably even *gasp* lose a series at some point.

[chase25 2,048]

I’m more heated that I just watched Mark Kingston (a pathetic excuse for a manager) save his ace for a 7 inning game to avoid getting swept lol. God that clown has destroyed a once proud baseball program.

[zlavydra 2,123]

[Herpa Derpa 6,126]

It's very simple. After the hot start, one of us started talking about being undefeated heading into conference play. That kind of hubris will always draw the attention of the Baseball Gods. Let's just hope that the past week is the only righteous punishment meted out for the transgression. And that the lesson has been learned.

Then I would hope you would have more informed opinions and not just overreactions the moment we lose a game.

3rd ranked Arkansas is about to drop a game to Illinois-Chicago. They also have losses to Illinois State and Southeastern so far this season. The THIRD ranked team in the country.

Rube in front of me "bragged" that he pitched 6 years of HS baseball in SC, won 3 state championships, and only Reggie Sanders ever took him deep. Also mentioned that "we're not in Mexico, we're in South Cackalacky." 

That's a quote

Making over-reactionary comments like “this team isn’t a top 10 team” moments after we drop our second game of the season is hilarious and even more hilarious if it’s coming from someone who is a college baseball fanatic.

Imagine being an ok state fan, taking care of Vandy then losing to Sam Houston and getting swept by Gonzaga. They’re still considered a top ten team

Have you ever read any thread about any Texas sports ever on this site after a loss?
