1 to 1.5 minutes per batter equals about an hour of watching batters adjust their junk and fasten and unfasten their batting gloves.  If you're not ready to play, just stay on the bench.

Did you watch the "transgression" from yesterday or just speaking in platitudes? There's no way you could defend what happened yesterday.

I’d say Florida is just establishing they are the much better team over the course of 3 games

There is "the other team is pretty good" and there is "only scoring one run in 15 innings with a Regional Championship on the line"

I don't buy that Florida's 4th and 5th starters are that great. Tech is coming up small here.

Ryan Slater is actually really good, he is a good bullpen arm who becomes a 4th or 5th starter in situations like these. Same with Cade Fisher who beat Tech yesterday. If this result holds Fisher (6-0) and Slater (10-1) will be a combined 16-1 on the season.

Wooo, we have a game-changer in the BV household...

My next-door-neighbor owns one of the awesome family Mexican restaurants in town, and his wife just brought me a 32-oz cup of menudo and a bag of tamales as thanks for me always dog-sitting their golden when they're working or dealing with kids.  

This is gonna give me such rancid gas that it will drown out my body odor.  Life is good.

Slater and Fisher's combined ERA is lower than all three of UF's weekend starters ERAs.  They're very good.

Tech with another chance. Two on with nobody out.

Sure. But Tech's blown chance in the 6th didn't come against either of them.

How's that aggy / Texas super regional shaping up?

Not very likely, Stanford has a better offense and better pitching staff but it’s baseball and anything can happen

That sounds damn good. Which one?

3rd straight year Tech won't advance out of a regional. 

Tadlock is a bit at a crossroads. 

They won their regional in 2021, only to be swept at home in the Super Regional by Stanford.

Oops you're right. They went 0-2 in the Supers but for some reason I had thought that was a regional.

People were speculating that Stanford would wilt in the 100 degree Lubbock heat but they showed up wearing all black uniforms and destroyed Tech instead.

The hitting for Tech has obviously been the problem so far this weekend for Tech but their biggest issue recently has been pitching. 

They aren't developing enough quality arms to be a CWS-caliber team. Is it development or recruiting?

I don’t know why Tadlock pulled Rogers trailing 1-0.  Reliever promptly served up a 2-run bomb and the game was over.  Oh well, maybe Lubbock will have a sandstorm in their honor …

Maybe they'll play Sandstorm during the sandstorm? Think about that

I do wonder about Tadlock's future at Tech after realignment. I know he's a Tech alum but the Big 12 is taking a pretty massive hit in baseball. 

The loss of Texas (arguably the top baseball program ever) and OU (who has historically been a good program). What direction is the Big 12 heading as a baseball conference? 4th best conference behind ACC, SEC, Pac 12?

They are getting Houston, who is pretty decent.

I very rarely hear about Cincy, BYU, and UCF in baseball so that can't be good. But I guess we will get a good look at them next season.

I know we played BYU a few times but I remember being rather unimpressed.

I think they will be fine as long as they pick up a baseball only school. With Iowa State not playing adding DBU as a baseball only member would strengthen the conference. The funny thing to watch would be if TCU and Baylor do the same thing they bemoaned Texas for doing which is keep somebody they view as inferior from getting a piece of the pie and elevated status.

Adding ECU as a baseball member probably makes more sense than DBU. Gives Cincinnati, WVU, and UCF another team out East to play and ECU has a rabid baseball following

Going to take more than regional exits for Tadlock to have to start worrying.

Houston has regressed a good bit recently. Last regional was what 2018? 

Out of all the Big 3 sports that looks to be the weakest one after realignment for the Big 12.

Tech missing 2 true Allstars on offense and missing their 2 & 3 starting pitchers. They were never going to win. They lost 2 to Florida from the winners bracket for the same reason they lost 2 to OkSt in B12 chp. Their pitchers suck after first two (all freshmen), and they have one decent offensive player.

Fla has 5 first round draft pics, twoO and 3P. 

Good news for the techsters, their (almost) entire pitching rotation is freshmen. If Tadlock can stop destroying their arms, they will be back in the super. Next year.

Houston, UCF, and BYU are all programs that used to be pretty good that are in down years, and Cincinnati has had some good teams recently.  Outkick is reporting that UAz and Colorado are joining the B12, which I don't believe at all, but if it were true, AZ plus those 3 programs I mentioned first could be a damn good baseball conference.

I have trouble picturing Tadlock coaching at another school other than Tech.

Bingo.  I had no idea that the B12 has so many affiliate members.  Who knew that this was Big 12 wrestling?
