Assistant Regional Manager

That was the joke.

Arkansas has struck out 14 times so hopefully we can match that since it’s the recipe

They are significantly better in pretty much every meaningful offensive stat.

Well good news. Arkansas ain’t gonna be in our regional

It's a money grab. Same in basketball. It's dumb that you have 30 conference games over almost 3 months, then throw all that out the window for a 4 or 5-day tournament where some teams treat it like the World Series, and others don't care at all. And in smaller conferences, you are ignoring 90% of the season to crown your automatic bid. Does Major League Baseball have an AL West or NL West tournament at the end of the year to determine the division winner?

His quote about retention being priority #1 should be pinned on the OTF board forever: ”what’s going to be more upsetting, losing a HS recruit or letting Arch Manning walk out the door?”

The established guys are usually good. The B pitchers are the B pitchers for a reason.

Every team has injuries. The committee isn’t punishing Texas for that.

Results matter more. 18 SEC wins. Top 5 RPI. Top 5 KPI. Top 5 DSR.

Texas isn’t anywhere close to the #8 seed. It’s a body of work. And Texas’ body of work will have them in the top 5 or 6 overall regardless of what happens the next week.

I know. I’m just saying you can’t blame the reliever when he inherits bases loaded with 1 out. The damage was largely done prior to Burns coming in.

I would mainly blame leaving the starter in 3 batters too long for this situation.

Drop Tinney in the order? 🙂 @JMarquette

Aka he just watched Tennessee and Mississippi State average 15 meaningless pick off attempts per game.

Can you do Monsour or Larson next? You’ve fixed Tinney and Borba.

Don’t make us pull the receipts on Carson Tinney.

Good things usually happen when you abandon ship on something or someone.

Congrats, you’ve felt what every other team has felt at some point this year outside of UCLA.

Then guys like Cozart will be throwing 3 days in a row. You do things in the postseason you don’t normally do during the regular season or a Tuesday game against UTSA.

That isn’t my point. We also never made it through the losers bracket in Omaha in 2011, 2014, 2018, 2021 and 2022. It’s the losers bracket for a reason. It’s designed to where teams don’t usually make it out alive. And that goes for all teams.

What team is in great shape if they get in the losers bracket?

Teams use the same 5-6 pitchers the entire postseason. Back to back games, 3 days in a row, all of it: So no, they won’t be needed.

That applies to every team in the country.

Amazing we went from an overrated team with no hope to winning a top 10 series in two hours 🙂

What about all the close wins they closed out? We are 34-10. There are going to be blown leads in a 55 game season. It’s college baseball.
