Baseball: No. 1 Texas vs. Florida game thread (Sunday)

[cmk4pres]

I would say we are a 4 or 5 national seed currently. Need to right the ship to stay there and not leave Austin for post season

Do we have a timeline on that?

Not out of the picture for next week. He was taking live batting practice during the midweek.

We can go .500 in May and exit early in SEC tourney and still host regional and Super.  May don't matter.  Get healthy, peak in June.

I would agree with that.

Seems like Ruger needs to be moved back to Sunday as the moment is a little big for him on Friday with the previous two outings just falling flat on his face. Can move Luke to Friday and start Burns or Grubbs Saturday?

Who are the 3-4 teams with resumes better than Texas?

I get recency bias is a thing, but Texas still is the only SEC team with 20 wins (no other team has more than 17), has a top 3 RPI, the most Q1 wins in the country (15) and a top 12 SOS.

aggie funk must have infected the team when they played Boys haven't been the same since

Dont know currently and frankly don't care just my thoughts. We don't have a full rotation and have gone cold at plate. How you are playing at Memorial factors in more than most think

Okay just simply asking who you would have over Texas at this point. It’s called a resume and body of work for a reason. The gap is still pretty big between Texas and everyone else regardless of what metric you look at.

If we lose the series in Norman things can change but right now this is at worst the #2 overall seed and I’m still not quite sure who you are putting at 1. Arkansas, who has lost 4 of their last 5 series? LSU, who Texas beat H2H? Georgia, who just lost a series to Alabama and who Texas swept.

Unless Texas loses every game from now until the start of the NCAA Tournament, they'll be a top-8 seed.

Unless we take 2 out of 3 or better against OU, it’ll feel we are limping into the NCAAs.

Arkansas beat LSU today in Baton Rouge, 7-4.

He was one of the flu victims Friday.

I think Texas wins the regular season conference title under either circumstance.  So .....

Are you saying we win the regular title if we win 1 out of 3 or get swept by OU?

To make you feel better, the Aggies lost 10 to 1 today to Missouri and it was a sweep.  Missouri now has 3 conference wins.  🤣🤣

I was there today and we really only hit a few balls very well.  With all the strikeouts on top of that it was hard to watch.  Haven't heard why Gasparino came out and noticed that Jonah did not run out a couple of hit balls.  Perhaps he was told not to run unless he had to because he tweaked a muscle yesterday.  This team slump is a bit extended now and is becoming more worrisome for the last of the SEC season and then the playoffs.  Other than Flores not being sharp, the rest of the relievers did not do a bad job.
