Belyeu looks at strike three. Sums up tonight.

He got two looks at strike three and took both of them.

[Jeff Howe]

We’ll see what Schloss says about the pitching plan for tomorrow.

It’s a rough outlook, to say the least.

I literally think the only good things from tonight were Galvan, volantis, borba, and Jonah. Defense was god awful, and don’t even get me started on Flores and gas with 2 on bases 0 outs and absolutely choked that s*** away. Deserved to lose with that pitiful performance. May have been top 3 worst baseball defensive performance I’ve ever seen.

Jonah's last two ABs were absolutely pathetic

Jonah?  He peacocked his way into inning-ending strike threes with the bat up his ass - TWICE.

Glad we burned all our best arms when we can't even field a ground ball. Super cool. We are toast. I expecting to get bounced in the Supers, not this damn early. Hopefully we recruit some kids with some better fundamentals. Base running was a complete joke like they never have done it before yesterday and now this disasterclass defensive performance. On top of lacking enough competitive at bats to be a real contender.

[ElCafetero]

these are both of my teams so I’m happy and sad at the same time 😭

[Randy Fistfighter]

I wonder what would happen if we actually swung the damn bat?

[Steindam Hall]

Key stats… UTSA strands three runners.  Texas, 14.

With runners in scoring position: UTSA: 6 of 10 (.600), Texas: 3-18 (.167).

Fielding errors: Texas: 2, UTSA: 0.

[HardcoreHorn]

Get to a game 7 and who knows what happens. (I’m being way too overly optimistic)

[Hi im Boo Corrigan]

You can’t roll Gasparino out there tomorrow. He looks so lost at the plate. Play Farmer

@Jeff Howe when is the last time Texas has lost a regional in Austin? I honestly don't remember.

 

I can remember losing Supers to TCU and UC Irvine, but don't recall losing a Regional. I guess the last time I remember coming out of the "losers" bracket to win a regional was around 2002, when UH had that first round MLB ace (Brad Sullivan)?

Pretty new to college baseball… how rare is it for a team in Texas current position to wind up advancing?

UC Irvine was a regional loss. They had to play that one at Dell Diamond because Disch-Falk was under construction.

I think the number is 83% of the time, the team that starts 2-0 wins the regional.

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss said Riojas will get the ball against K-State and they'll go from there.

This.  There's a lot of pride on this team.  They've gotten it done pretty much all year, they just have to get the bats off their shoulders.  They are getting the setups, just not converting.  That said, 7 runs should be enough to beat any team.

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

This team couldn’t make routine plays on ground balls, strikes out way too much and couldn’t lay down a bunt in a situational moment.

I wouldn’t bet on anything. We haven’t played well since the Aggy series. 

 UTSA was also the more hungry team. Very disappointing effort.

I do not like this decision , If we can’t pitch Bing or walker or someone else not named ruger/grubbs.  We should pack it up.  You play to win the regional not for placement.

It’s not just tonight, unfortunately. 

Since we started SEC play Flores has been dog poop. Really has me missing Faltine.
