    Maybe we’re in the midst of baseball happening. Hitters hit a slump. Hitters come out of a slump. No team is more equipped for Omaha than this team.

    That was ball 4.

    Coulda been a ball.

    And Howe is a little ahead of my feed.

    I missed all but final two hitters in top 1 but hard to imagine strike 1 and 2 were both legitimate with 3 walks in the top half. After the bs strike call to Pack in the 9th yesterday, I’ve already had my fill. Nevermind the bs delay on the faux catchers interference review that changed the course of that game.

    His final 6 games he ran for 246 yards on 60 carries, 1 TD. Over that time, he had 16 catches for 65 yards. He had 92 yards on two carries during that time. Only 4 runs of 10+ yards during that span. That was against 3 very good to better defenses, 1 average defense, and one poor defense. No idea how those games played out, but you’ll likely find his floor in them.

    It’s always odd to me how people make judgments on teams/players while seemingly ignoring how it works for all other teams. Hard to believe the Aggies left their starting pitcher in for ALL 7 innings while giving up 18 runs today.

    Ump changed this whole AB

    No excuses. I spent hours on the road just to come watch it live.

    He’s just not a natural. The MSU drop he leaves his feet for no reason. Think it was SJSU in which he had his hands set as though it was a low ball when it wasn’t. There were several low balls that he could and probably should have left his feet but didn’t. I recall a deep ball to Georgia that he didn’t get his hands on but when you watch it you wonder why. It could be his eyes adjusting, but it seems more than that. The pace of some of his routes making himself available occasionally seems off. I use the comparison of the UTEP game versus the OU for an example that encompasses all this. 4th and 4 versus UTEP, opening drive. Arch flushes to his left. Rather than sitting in the open window proceeds to run away from him. Incomplete. Similar occurrence versus OU. Wingo sits. Complete, first down.

    I think the strike zone has been shrinking for years. They all vary somewhat though. Lots more power in the bats than used to be. When you have to bring it to the hitters zone, you’ll see more balls hit well. People get worked up over walks, but the hits are what adds those runs up. We only walked 4 tonight. Course SHSU walked 10. Still the homers were impactful and none of them cheap. I think all the guys we ran out can be functional. Winter is not ready to start. Hamilton and Howard got pushed more than they’re accustomed to pitching. Grubbs run was off a grounder with an exit velocity of about 70. Crossland had the lowest ERA entering today (not including Howard). Walls has a live arm. Bing has some success at this level. In a key game, this sequence will never occur.

    He was awful. The smallest zone I recall all year. On a Tuesday no less when everyone should know front line pitchers aren’t throwing. Now, I guess you could say he was relatively consistent, but that’s because everything was a ball. It’s a Tuesday game. Let the overreactions to the pitching staff occur.

    This umpires zone is ridiculous. He did not give one slightly up in the zone or slightly low in the zone.
  14. Here for the Wins
    He did. That bunt attempt in his initial Ab was not ideal. This is the type of team that can help a hitter turn it around.
  15. Here for the Wins
    Shoulda had him bunt.
  16. Here for the Wins
    We’re winning this.

    Pretty sure there are more SHSU hitters in the major leagues than there are Longhorns right now.

    2026 champs or bust.
  19. Here for the Wins
    That would be interesting to see - original schools versus transfers. And track those drafted thst originated at FCS schools.

    Maybe he can wear number 8 in honor of Kobe Bryant.

    I butt my head against the wall with you kids for several things but perhaps the biggest is a comparison of a player or a position group to a standard that really doesn’t , or certainly rarely, exists. Yes, Goosby is considered top flight. But Baker and Robertson have been there before. Then you have Siani with considerable experience and achievement. That is about as good as you’ll get. Nevermind we have two guys with starting experience for LG. Miami was the standard last year, but they lost 3 games, were fortunate to make the playoff and had a relatively weak schedule. As for Texas last year, the real problem was that the veterans had too many misses while the inexperienced guys were trying to grow up. The exception was the Brooks experience. Then the skills guys missed opportunities that were available. I do understand people’s hesitation to be comfortable, but we have balance and depth across the board that is unsurpassed, certainly to a material degree.

    There’s always Spence. Play recognition, speed of the game, etc, he’s got it. This concept that we can’t run out guys with no experience is a bit off kilter. We ran Simmons and Hill out there once with no experience. We have promising freshman. Nevermind if you get 10 other guys on the field doing their job, that inexperienced guys job is much easier. Indiana 2025 has people convinced that experience is a must. But it’s not every player. Yet Charles Becker had 23 snaps the prior year. And only about 120 last year until week 10. Weve got 100+ years of college football with guys gaining experience and coming of age all within the same program but now we’re afraid to allow them to grow within our program.

    How does stud and great equal good?
  24. Here for the Wins
    Then Burke if they got two more.

    Does Notre Dame have any picks yet other than RBs?
