I believe it's the worst possible thing that could've happened.

Here is an interesting point from Surly regarding their chances of winning the Big 12:

The imbalance in the conference schedules seems odd to me. We only have 3 series left while WVU still has 5.

I think that's a pretty solid assessment. I do think there's a very slim chance we may see a 15-win regular season champion...probably a co-champion under that scenario. But that would suggest that the bottom third of the conference wins some unexpected ballgames.

Yeah...we still have our Santa Clara and FSU out-of-conference series to go

Terrible midweek slate for the conference….have only 1 team now in Top 20 RPI and that’s UT at 14. Beginning to think that things could turn out in a way that the conference only gets 3 in. Previously had thought 4 was the floor.

UT, TCU, Tech and Okie Lite are dam near locks and WVU has a decent shot. I guess you think Tech is the odd man out of the 4 but they'll rebound I bet...

I don’t think much of anyone is a lock at this point other than UT. Too early for “locks”. Still think 4 get in and possibly a 5th but if Ws and Ls get distributed poorly it’s not gonna be a shallow year for the Big 12. I’d sure want to finish 1 or 2 in the conference

Hate to hear that about Logan. Come back strong next year!

If Gray is an adequate left fielder, how about Goodloe at 2b? (Since Spenrath has come to life at DH.)
Every school gets 2 "bye" weeks once B12 play starts. Because winter weather lingers a bit longer in Morgantown, It's my understanding that the B12 delayed their conference schedule for 2 weeks and then sent them to a southern site (it was FtW this year) for the WV league opener. By then, the weather generally allows for them to be scheduled without frigid temps. They then play all 8 opponents consecutively. We, on the other hand, have our B12 schedule broken up with FSU and Santa Clara (on our "bye" weeks).

I think they don't want to risk him getting hurt. Maybe Petrie is still a ways away from playing.
Don't think you want Speaker behind the plate if somehow Byrne and Goodloe both got hurt.
Petrie will probably be back this weekend. He took some swing and caught a bullpen session for Krob yesterday.

My opinion is this…with all of this infield shifting impacting angles and cut off’s and throwing distances, I want my 2B at 2B and keep the double-play combination in place. Despite his advanced age, Rodgers is capable of playing a really salty 2B. Just go figure out LF which is significantly less difficult to play

Was I supposed to type something here?
They were talking about that on the broadcast last night. Very encouraging!

Yeah I agree with this, except we don't have anyone in LF who can hit besides Gray. I think Berkley has upside, just like Maxwell. But we're not there yet. Wish Porter would click.
Must have missed that on the broadcast! Saarloos was talking about it in the postgame on Frogs Today. Side note, they've been doing an amazing job with postgame/practice interviews for both baseball and football.
