We are struggling against offspeed pitches. And if Pilk is our true ace, we could be in for a very mediocre season.

Everyone that's not a massive State baseball homer that watched this team in the fall and the last couple of weeks of pre-season camp have said this group looked like a team that needed a rebuild year.They should make a regional and then hope for this best.Next year will be a much better team.

No one overhypes a team more than State baseball fans.

I wasn't expecting much with what we lost to the draft and injuries, but I don't like our approach at the plate in game one.

Gonna be a long, long season if it continues.

Damn son. At least wait til SEC play. We dropped 2 to FAU (very similar team to TT) a year ago.

Texas Tech is not similar to FAU... They are significantly better.

Were a higher ranked national seed than us and actually got to Omaha. Plus they return much more of their team than we do ours.

If you're going to freak out about this team, now isn't the time to do it.

I meant that as in, they return a lot of veterans. Basically the opposite of us, this year and last.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Most of our relief pitching has been good, which is a good sign. These Texas rednecks can swing the bat.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

shiiiiiit. no one shoots a team down faster than state fans. Too soon maybe?

Our first game last year, mangum went 0 for 4. Clearly he was terrible last year.

 

[Dawgpoundrock21]

I think we will be ok, not as good as last year but better than most expect. Tomorrow will tell a lot

 

[57stratdawg]

It's usually just tough to see in person, but everyone close to the program I've talked to has said the ceiling for this team is likely a regional. if we were at full strength in the bullpen, we'd have a chance to make some real noise.


Its simply a rebuilding year on many fronts.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I can't be too

disappointed with losing to the #14 team in the country, against their ace, 5-2....in a rebuilding year. Especially knowing we had a chance or two to win.

I thought someone earlier posted that TT threw their ACE against Directional Illinois?

 

[512taylor]

What he said.

 

[Carbaryl]

It's called expectations and nothing about the game today brought on my post.We are in a rebuild year with some key pitchers hurt.You got people thinking this could be a CWS team this year .Like I said "No one overhypes a team more than State baseball fans." I expect a lot of bitching from the homers this year.

 

[MSUDC11]

This wasn't their ace but this guy started their first game in Omaha last year.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Martin and Gingery are both

interchangeable. Both were Freshman AA last season. 6 in one, 1/2 a dozen in the other.
