So far we have gone mainly with recruited players and has worked out. Wish we had a portal pitcher coming in . Hope our young ones can step up and ride with Kavan. Hook em

This is a crazy take considering how good Harper and Castle were this series at various points especially given their age. I think the last 3-4 games of the series an argument could be made that Harper was the best player for the Spurs. Top 3 things for the Spurs is to add 3 point shooting, add veteran depth, and for Wemby to get stronger and develop a go-to move in the post.

Starting to look like the biggest trade mistake wasn't trading Luka, it was trading Big head Jalen Brunson Burner.

Someone really needs to ask Joey when and how he / Tech became aware of Sorsby’s situation and if the was before the end of spring practices, if Sorsby missed any practices after that.

I’m in believe it when I see it mode too … to be clear

i am so grateful that we’re not in that clown show of a conference right now.

They need to take Biggio's philosophy. That first pitch might be the best one you'll see!

You give college pitchers too much credit. They aren’t good enough to pick and choose when to throw strikes lol. Volchko had an out of body experience last year after an entire season where he was walking and hitting multiple batters per game. You don’t change up your entire program philosophy just because of that.

Thanks. I feel much more knowledgeable now! Kind of like the difference between a 4star and a 5 star. Got it.

One can hope someone steps in and says Sorsby won't play this year, but I'll believe it when I see it. With Texas Tech speaking on July 7 at Big 12 Media Days, things could get interesting—and Joey can't cancel those.

once we gave up 4 it was hard seeing us come back with the offense we were having. My issue with schloss so far at texas is he hasn't gotten better hitters all throughout the lineup. Theres no reason Texas should have to have a lot of hitters that are similar in style and not more power hitters. arod, mendoza, larson, bacerra, pendergrass, are more similar than not. Then borba is mostly an auto out if its not a hr so adds nothing most games.

He did say in his opening statement that we did an awful job of catching everybody up after the weather delay. I'm pretty sure "we" meant him and the coaching staff. Not sure what he could have done to prevent the throwing and fielding errors or Volantis hitting 4 batters.

I sent you a message but wanted to make sure you saw this. I have an extra ticket for the Japan vs Sweden game in Dallas on the 23rd if you are interested.

The Italians are seething that they were even in the playoffs. How the mighty have fallen.

I think Tinney blocking pitches could be attributed to the field because of the way it bounces differently on the turf that he’s used to. But that’s just my opinion, I know the field wasn’t the reason they lost I just think it played a bigger role than most people are willing to admit.

It was just frustrating not making an adjustment when he was throwing first pitch strikes right down the middle of the plate. That kid was good with that slider so he he could ahead in the count he had a big advantage. I could understand maybe one time through the lineup but after that especially being down a few runs you have to try to run into one and maybe change the momentum. Texas has guys that can hit the low ball and that was our chance and we never adjusted. I just don’t understand it. You got Tulo, you got analytic guy over there and no adjustments at the plate. Most of Texas lineup isn’t going to hit good pitching so you aren’t going to stack 4-5 hits in a row off a pitcher like that. Hitters shouldn’t have to be told. If I’m in that game I go up looking dead middle of the plate and nothing else and I’m swinging. Even my wife picked up on it after about 4-5 innings of first pitch strikes

I don’t think the natural field played apart at all. When the catcher struggles blocking the pitch, framing the pitch, throwing the ball and actually catching the ball, that’s the real problem. Tinney’s defensive weaknesses were magnified last night.

Clearly Kirby was in the dugout

I’m ready for the clown show of sorsby and tech

I guess he didn't bet on that....

Talked to a long time coaching connection Saturday. Word from this person is that there is growing belief by coaches that Sorsby may not play this season - this is not OTF reporting this. Just belief among coaches from a convo. One Big 12 head coach does not believe Sorby will end up playing this year, for sure. Big 12 schools presidents and higher ups have made it be known to Brett Yormark that he works for them per this person. Will be interesting to follow!

Is this before we see who leaves or just in general?

There are approximately 12,200 D1 baseball players and you are drawing a line between 19 and 20 homers as the defining point when only 20ish players hit 20+ homers? 🤦‍♂️
