I have been waffling back and forth on this, but I think ultimately it is like faking injuries. Doing something that is within the rules, but up to the SEC office to say hey we know what you are doing and it against the spirit of the game and there will be repercussions. Baseball typically isn't a timed game so there are no safeguards with an actual clock that keeps from teams just freely wasting time to take advantage of the timed game.

I remember Augie doing it once. It was early in his tenure before he had things rolling, and we had a small lead on LSU at the Disch and he stalled big time to run out the clock.

I’m not sure about Bing specifically but it seemed like they wanted to throw as many guys as possible. They only used 5 against UGA

I figured pitch count and save for weekend - he only threw 28 pitches - wonder if they want him for Sunday long relief if needed 

Yeah, it could be a number of things. He had an early visit to the mound with the trainer and Weiner. Just odd that he only went 1.1 given his recent IP per outing. However, as y'all said, it could just have been to get a plethora of arms action.

Bing seems pretty Jekyll and Hyde.

When he keeps the ball down he’s pretty good. When he’s throwing strikes even better. I can see why they had him for Sunday starter early in the season. I think he’s the difference in the postseason. If he gets better which he should , he’d be a pretty good option in a pinch if we need it.

He was throwing 83 MPH. They were concerned with his health.

The plan was definitely not for him to throw 1.1 innings when this is the time of year when nailing down a 4th starter who can give you length is important.

Halfway through SEC play we stand at 29-5 overall and 13-2 in SEC play. Safe to say we are well ahead of any reasonable expectations coming into the season.

Looking ahead, we have 4 non-conf games and 15 conference games remaining. I think a reasonable projection would be 3-1 on the mid-weeks and 9-6 in conference. I'd characterize this as a "middle" scenario. Not the floor, but not the ceiling. This would put us at 41-7 and 22-8 going into the conf tourney.

Good for a top 8 seed?

41-12, 22-8 should be good for top 8 imo

Lol, that will net us a top 4 seed nationally. 22 wins is phenomenal.

Last year's SEC national seeds and their conference records:

1.  Tennessee (22-8)

2.  Kentucky (22-8)

3.  Texas A&M (19-11)

5.  Arkansas (20-10)

7.  Georgia (17-13)

 

22-8 is outstanding and a lock for a top 8 seed.

If we arent getting ARod back for a while and we are stuck using whatever combo of Stewart, Duplantier, Winfield, and Chamberlain in the 8/9 slot, I would hope that all Schloss does this week is have them all do bunting drills.  

If we are going to get a strikeout or weak grounder to SS from them everytime, we may as well try to leg out a damn bunt single, or sacrifice to keep out of the double play.

 

cause my god, however we mix the last 2 batter spots that stretch is just an absolute gaping hole in the lineup.

I thought A Rod was going to be fully back this week...?

Looks like he may have tweaked it a little this weekend and didn’t try to hit from the right side against a lefty, so must still be bothering him.

Understandable that Dee Kennedy's no longer at Texas, but (as noted way upthread) he's made a real jump at the plate with KSU this spring. Would be nice to have that bat right now.

That graphic is wrong, I don't see Texas A&M.

Get your eyes checked. I see them ranked 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 19 and 21

That could be top overall seed territory.

Georgia at #3 is an absolute joke. They barely scraped by Arkansas at home and Arkansas has a much better resume than Georgia overall. I know it doesn't matter, but it's weird how these rankings are all over the place. 

Regardless of how it looked, they took two of three from Arkansas, and head-to-head results matter. In the grand scheme of things, these rankings don't mean anything though. Postseason seeding will take care of it and the collective résumés will matter more.

RPI powerhouse UTRGV coming to Austin next. Be afraid.

This'll be a really interesting game. I can only assume UTRGV will pull out all the stops to try to win this game. RPI currently at 35, SOS at 94, and only 1-3 vs. Q1.

Texas needs to be ready to play ball.

Guaranteed.  You assume correctly.  We lose Tuesday games because it's their 1's all jacked up like it's their life's goal vs our 2s, 3s, and some 1s getting some "looks" and working on technique.

Yeah, but not only because they're jacked up to play Texas. They're a legitimately good team trying to improve their RPI and this is their final game against a Q1 opponent. That's more why I believe they'll pull out all the stops.

UTRGV has a legit shot at the NCAA tourney. They absolutely should treat this game like it’s do or die, because it is for them.

We didn’t lose to Texas State because of our 2s and 3s. Bling and Flores had a no-hitter through 7 innings.
