Texas Baseball Continues Rise In Polls

[Blake Munroe]

Your undefeated Texas Longhorns are moving on up once again in certain polls. The Horns are now 15-0 on the season after sweeping USC-Upstate this weekend.

Next up is a home game against Texas State on Tuesday. 

D1Baseball: #2

Perfect Game: #2

Baseball America: #3

Added D1 poll.

I really like the feel and composition of this squad.  They are fired up, play with intensity, and are true team mates.  🤘

We are playing at Texas State 😉

If you play 2k you understand how important the takeover meter is. This team has one and when it fills up they explode. It's frustrating at times because we can see how good this team is and want whoever they're playing to get run ruled by the third inning🤘🏿

I like how we run-rule teams like half the time. That's cool.

If you watch them they aren't a finished product which is probably most exciting.  Some big bats have yet to get going and there are plenty of bench players contributing.  We will start to find out about them in SEC play but you can't argue with 15-0 even against the competition.  Just ask LSU.

Yeah the first 3 or 4 innings the goal is to see pitches and communicate with teammates to get the pitch count up to chase the starter from the game.  There have been a lot of fireworks in the middle innings against bullpen pitching.  Weekends series are always going to have an attrition component and Texas is winning that game.  I now see why DyVo is the Sunday starter and hopefully he will be able to improve command over later innings, RR is pitching unconscious right now.  This team has as good of a chance to go all the way as any team in the country.

What is wrong with Baseball America??  🤷🏿‍♂️

I love getting on Twitter and constantly seeing all these highlights of big hits, home runs, and strikeouts. This team looks like they’re having tons of fun too.

[Wentwood]

Look at SEC all over the top 25. 

What a Conference schedule ahead!

Really like watching this team, bringing me back to baseball!!

11 SEC teams in these various polls that’s freakin impressive!!

I really don’t care but how is UCLA ranked above us with 2 losses?

They have better wins. Classic dilemma (compare to football playoff debates about 3-loss Texas vs. teams with better records but worse SOS). Not that it matters too much, but that's my take on why they're unanimous No. 1. And with the Big 10 schedule, expect UCLA to be the No. 1 overall seed come tourney time.

Nah I meant that, since they're already #1 — and they won't pick up many losses in a relatively weak conference — they have a super clear path to staying #1 all season.

I'm not sure where other to put this, but if you haven't seen the diving stop and throw from his knees you better get on YouTube NOW!! I'm not sure you'll see a better play on any level of baseball. Just wow.

Thanks Blake--great job!

Schloss spent a lot of time in the offseason getting this team to come together. I've seen clips of the team hanging out at the lake, bowling, etc. All that work in the offseason clearly shows in my opinion.
