Probably win this game if we’d used DF when we had the lead.

I see potential and some of it was evident earlier this season but I don’t think I see enough.

Frogs stranded tying run on third and drop 4-3. Probably the most appropriate way for it to end.

Miserable week for TCU baseball.

Runner should have been called out on interference. Slid right through the bag. That's been interference on TCU more than once this season.

It would take something unimaginable to get the ship righted this season. And given the number of presumed returnees and how much scholly is tied up, it could be a while. I had hope they’d develop a chemistry and get into a groove but it seems like they’ve fallen into the wrong groove. It’s like the jersey is just too big for most of them right now and the bench is darn near empty.
Gonna need to go find some great (but not too great) very smart players with affluent families who will apply for admission in majors that need numbers.

You can slide all the way to the left center field wall as long as you get down early enough and are within the base range and don’t pop-up, roll block or leg whip or anything like that. But that would make it even more sensible for CW to have abandoned the base to ensure that the ball didn’t get passed him.

Doubtful. And I’m not sure we’re much better next year TBH. Especially if LB, SW, and DF all sign.

Agreed. And I feel like we missed more than normal in this last recruiting class, so it’s going to be hard to rebuild.

We’ve found every possible way to lose this season.
What a huge disappointment

Feels like we are the victim of a bad recruiting year - both in who went pro and who we did get to campus not living up to expectations so far with maybe 2 exceptions and also getting stung by the approach of going super lean on defensive position players in order to have more bullpen depth - an approach that had been very successful in getting us to the CWS because of good recruiting but left us with no returning depth the next 2 years outside of recruits really and thus when you have a hiccup - you get this evidently
We are going to need a stellar recruiting class next year that shows up to turn this around or it could be a few years...
I could see us having 8 new guys (maybe 7 with one current infielder moving positions) next year

That's all part of the college baseball game.

It's one season, not going to give up on Shephard, Oviedo and Boulware that fast.

Maybe the victims of our own success. Frogs lost 4 top recruits to pro signings-- and coach may want to adjust how he goes about it.
