I just want to see a Texas extra base hit

[Gut Wagon 8219]

Aggy has more flares than a Coast Guard exercise. 

[Hammerin Hank 1268]

Maybe we should get some of those bloop hits

LOL, look out any window and you'll see every school not in Omaha would gladly trade places with us.

Yeah but our standard should be higher than 2 and BBQ after we were one run away from the national championship last year. This is an abject failure.

When does football practice  start?

Been watching Longhorn baseball for over 45 years, so I've enjoyed the ride for a long time. Don't have to win it all to enjoy it. Loved last year, even though we came up short. What frustrates me is stupid decisions by coaches and players that cost us a game. 

And anemic play. I’m with you 100%. The month of may and June has been great to watch.

This entire forum said it would be a miracle if we made it out of the regional. So no. This is absolutely not a failure and the fucking game isn’t over yet. Fuck guys

If he does not win this game David Pierce must be fired.

Next inning we are gonna score 10, we are timing this guy up

Why are you even watching. I thought you would rather we not make Omaha

I don’t know anyone that has an opinion worth listening to thought it would be a miracle. As soon as the match ups were announced and we were at home I thought texas was Omaha bound. Thought texas State too.

Seems like every out is a battle

All year multiple posters here said it’d be a miracle to make it out of a regional. Well…

[Fletch 5817]

Ok. Olivarez time plz

[troph 25250]

I’m about to turn this crap off and take a nap

[Had Enough 2125]

This is a pretty poor performance on those guys in the field/at the plate.

They’ve given us 3 extra outs. Kennedy should have caught that damn pop up that really is the play of the game. The Messinger crappy throw shoulda been caught and tagged screw up.


People don’t want to face the truth, but the offense doesn’t carry us. 42 wins when we give up 5 runs or less. We’ve only won 1 game in which the other team scored 10 runs. That was Air Force who score but their pitching is terrible. We’ve won 5 games when giving up more than 5.

Notre Dame has more losses than us when giving up 10+ runs, and we’ve played a dozen more games.

Harrison eh? I’ll take that

I would rather not make it if we are going to shit the bed against all of our rivals in a pathetic regression to a level that wouldve had us lose in the regionals.

Southard should still be pitching. Sigh.

That’s fucking ridiculous 

[ztejas 44288]

We're going to need an all-time comeback. Unfortunately I'm assuming they plate at least 2 here and we go 1 2 3 in the 6th. 

Give aggy credit - they have a better baseball team for once. 

[Redneck Mutha 8228]

Jesus, just no fire in the belly the last two games.

Softball season yet?

[MirrOlure 15320]

If everything short of a National Championship is disappointment then you will never enjoy anything. In baseball you just have to enjoy the ride.

There’s a Grand Canyon gap between winning the National Championship and dropping a giant turd. 2021 was an enjoyable ride.

This year looks like we were too short to get on the ride and sneaked in when nobody was looking, pissed our pants and now begging to get off.

Scheffler is leading with 9 to go…atleast someone is hitting the ball

This guy gets it. 

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

This is pretty fitting given we made fun of aggy going 2&Q again.

The game isn’t over yet. We were down 7-2 in the 7th facing elimination….

[Beau Vine 55893]

They're going to dogpile when this is over, aren't they?

[Wally Pryor 5413]

Back to back, being beaten easily by teams playing better baseball - pitching, fighting off pitches at the plate, clutch hitting, better defense. 

Not close.

Agree on standard, but disappointing, not a failure.  Recruiting and aura intangible of the "Played in the majority of the CWSeries" talking point is a huge plus.  People can hate on ESPN all they want, but they have been pumping us the entire playoffs as the Yankees of college baseball.  I'll always take racking up another CWS appearance vs. not making it.  Net program win, even if disappointing.  This team was just too Jekyll and Hyde.  That's just the way it is this year, but will change.

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

Don’t worry guys we won the directors cup!

The management isn't the problem. The guys on the mound are the problem. Pete was passable yesterday and Lucas was a trainwreck today. There's no right way to manage starts like that.

We let a guy go 5 full after hanging 50 pitches on him abd only 2 runs through 2.
