FWST: TCU will be without top 3 starters this weekend against Utah

While I admire your enthusiasm and positivity, I haven't yet seen the "demolishing tendencies" of our team this year. Utah is going to bring one real quality starter and a lineup that has three or four of the top 7 hitters in the conference. Personally, I would be content with taking two of three in this series given the circumstances, and I'd be giddy with a sweep. I do not think that winning just one of the three is that far-fetched however.... We did beat them four times last year in four games, with Purke winning two and Maxwell and Winkler with one win each. It was great to see the boys come back from a Friday defeat in Stillwater to take the next two..... This weekend, I think it would be far preferable to go out and win impressively on Friday night and play the series from ahead....

polar opposite of me. Half glass full mentality to the extreme

However if we can do it against Baylor with Frey who had a stiff arm in the 2nd due to a delay, we can do it with a well rested Miller, Mitchell, and Starratt. Whats crazy is based on recent play......I feel most confident with Miller. Talk about a 180 on my perspective.

Lol at giddy.....me too :biggrin:

Sorry, I meant SDSU. SDSU is better than Utah.

SDSU is one of the worst teams in the country.

U might mean UNLV who started out 17-4. However they have done the opposite of TCU going 13-15 down the stretch to a record of 30-19

Their records are very comparable, but UNLV has a better coach than Utah

Yes, that's it, UNLV. They are better than Utah.

Isn't 7 days normally enough to recover and be rested for the next outing after pitching 6.0 innings? Think something else is up?

Yeah it is, but I imagine (or hope) the staff is just trying to stop the cumulative effect from getting him down the stretch. He's pitched a bunch of innings this year, and you'd hate for him to run out of gas right at the end like it appeared he did last year.

At least that's the most likely explanation I can think of, assuming that an injury isn't part of the reasoning.

No. Most trainers like their athletes to take a whoile week off every 8 weeks or so; let the body rest up; I'll bet that's what they're doing; gonna be a tough stretch with the conference champ, regionals, super regionals and CWS championships all back-to-back

You don't know JACK SQUAT!

Truth or Dare:

Dare?

I dare you to go to a mirror and take a picture of your big Budda belly and post it on here. That and a close-up pic of your beady, fat-squished pig eyes ought to cinch the deal for pretty much everyone on here.

And Winkler has been shouldering the load all season, eventually, even with adequate rest, the body just gets worn down. This is good to set him up strong for the postseason. Hell, I'd still like our chances if we just could do Winkler, Maxwell, and Mitchell for a 3 game series.

Shutup Stupid. It's a weak conference that allowed us toi come within a gnat's balls of winning the CWS last year.

BTW--is any coach in the country doing more with less that Schloss? Steel don't think so!
That could be the most idiotic statement ever made about baseball on KF.com.
