Also, Rodriguez wasn't really lighting it up at the plate this year, but he was doing a great job at getting on base. Was walking a ton.

A-Rod spoke right before the season about not hitting everyday to give himself some offdays and time to relax. Hoping this solves the issue fully, he was clearly squinting on swings and misses.

So did A-Rod not get surgery till the fall instead after the end of last year?

I know Bobby isn't a championship or bust guy, but if there's ever a year where it's championship or bust, this is it. Next year with all the potential pros leaving and a new starting QB, while Texas will be reloading, won't be as lofty expectations for a championship.

The A-Rod surgery should been in the summer not the fall to allow more time to heal.

Who are you talking to—me or Sark? I don’t see any problem with Sark exuding confidence about his team. And if this team is the best roster in the country, maybe it should be deserving of preseason #1. But they’d better back up the talk.

Please slow the hype train before we're preseason #1 again, ugh

Gumbo has developed a good eye at the plate and has improved his contact by seeing more pitchers in Conference competition. He is very fast too. 🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Expectations need to be high with so many of these players not expected to be back next year. If you look at a projected starting 11 on Offense how many are back next year? Over/under 1.5?

Perhaps it was because of Midtier's insistence of playing too early? Or Midtier is just not a very good QB even when healthy?? 🤔 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

This is 100% a ploy to allow Texas Tech get the same media payout as Alabama, when Alabama generates 4 times the viewership. And if the media payout is going to be equal for every school then why should football and basketball be the main recipients of revenue sharing? I’m sure that isn’t something Campbell wants to change. The justification now is because they generate the media revenue. Well…. Don’t the conferences that generate the most in media revenue deserve more of the pie?

If it ends up being Borba at third and someone else at first, then that would say a lot about the perceived defensive downgrade from Becerra to the next man up. It sounds like Becerra to shortstop is pretty much a lock at this point.

They've decided Gumbo is the better option than Larson. Monsour would be the only other option, but Gumbo's defense shouldn't be overlooked. He's better defensive option than Larson or Monsour.

Hmmm, so it’s sabotage?

You can relive the baseball program's run to the 1983 national championship on April 15:

Do we really not have a better option for the outfield than Jaydon Duplantier? We need a stronger bat out of that position IMO

I look at this roster and there are future pros everywhere. What an exciting season!

Every at bat for Rodriguez was painful to watch. He needs to heal.

That was because of Mateer’s lack of talent.

All in. Let's go! 🤘

and results for Mateer were terrible.

I'm not saying it won't happen, but I believe Borba's defense is too valuable at first base to move him right now. Especially because this isn't supposed to be a long-term absence for Rodriguez. Livingston competed with Becerra and Callum Early for the third base job in the fall and winter, so putting him there for the time being makes sense.

Depending on the surgeon, you might have to wait. I believe the guy who worked on A-Rod's hand is the same doctor who did John Mateer's thumb surgery.

It’s a pretty surprising statement for him to admit that he hasn’t felt like he’s had a complete roster in terms of top-level talent on both sides of the ball until this year. In the interview, he also explicitly compares this roster to the ones he had at Bama. It’s hard to argue with those assessments on paper. I think Texas has the best roster in the country going into the 2026 season. But Sark also needs to elevate his coaching to match those claims. This might be the best chance he ever gets at Texas to win it all—can’t squander this roster.

Hitting has not been great the last couple weeks and this sure doesn't help
