Elite troll lol

[Jeff Howe]

An attempted bunt by Galvan and Belyeu getting retired on a blooper to left makes for two quick outs in the fifth.

[CJ Vogel]

This team is done.

Did Galvan just really bunt? The dude is slow AF. I'm at a loss for words...

[AusMOJO]

This team fell apart when the games mattered. Not trying to hate, just telling the truth.

[Class of 04]

He looked like the fat kid in little league trying to keep his pants up running to first, just turtle like.

[ThatHornsGuy87]

Was a hell of a ride this year boys! We need a few more pieces 🤘

[Jeff Howe]

I keep looking at the scoreboard at the five-run third for UTSA.

That number is mocking me.

I could tell that by the end of the 3rd lol, same stuff that was happening the last 2 times we’ve played them are happening again. I hope they go portal crazy cause man, this is bad.

Not close, by any stretch. If you win the SEC regular-season title, you had a good year.

Our struggles against quality competition on the road, the SEC teams not looking great overall in post season so far, then the potential quick flameout against a system school. All of that makes the “favorable schedule” argument for the regular season SEC title sound more fitting to me. 

[Bevo92]

Wow, outscored 15-2 by UTSA since the 4th inning of game 1.   😳

The really good news from the way things are going down the stretch, Schloss is going to be extra motivated to strengthen all parts of the offense, defense and pitching through the portal.   2026 team should be solid. 🧡🤘🏼🐂

It was a way better season than anyone could imagine. Haven’t played much good baseball since the Arkansas series. Good year for Schloss first year but we need to get way better to contend in Omaha. They’ve recruited good and with the portal, we’re not that far off.

The "system school" thing, I don't agree with. UTSA is a good baseball team. I said this earlier today, but you don't fluke your way to a 40-win regular season.

The schedule argument is fair if you're talking about the team's ceiling being lower than the resume suggested, especially after Spencer got hurt. But Texas shouldn't apologize or feel bad for winning 22 conference games. There won't be an asterisk next to Texas winning the SEC in 2025.

[Class of 04]

Borba, Mendoza, A-Rod, Schuess and Williams have the right mentality for high leverage baseball, the rest of the team is mentally weak for the most part.

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs exits with a runner on base and one out in the bottom of the fifth.

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss is bringing Volantis into the game.

[Jeff Howe]

Volantis retired the two batters he faced in the fifth.

One sport closer to Arch szn 

 

[Lock n Horns]

Rally hats!

[HookemChappy]

This is hard to watch. 

[Jeff Howe]

Rodriguez, Flores and Borba due up in the top of the sixth.

[Jeff Howe]

Rodriguez draws a walk to open the sixth. He's kept fighting the good fight. Nice to see from a guy who's a big part of the program's future.
