Just keep the starters where they are. They are doing fine in their roles.

Would rather match our “ace” against their ace. Better chance to win.

Baylor had a better RPI than TCU.

Who cares and Give me a break - we had to come from behind in game 2 to not lose the series and then killed them in game 3 like they did to us in game 1

They are a middle of the pack b12 team fighting to get 15-17 wins and make the b12 tourney - even their own announcers talked about dozen times how Baylor is just fighting to get to 15 wins and make the tournament- is that all we expect from TCU now?

Everybody who knows baseball picked us as a top 10 team before the season started and we are basically Baylor equivalent at this point

Winning the series is great - but we should not have to luck into it against an average Baylor team just like we should be counting series wins to take the B12 championship - not be counting wins to just qualify for Surprise

Glad the slump was broken

I respect your right to be miserable, but I'm going to be happy that this team played with some grit and got two important wins while showing some heart.

I'm curious to see if Tommy can return and get into shape as a top starter. If he can and (bigger if) we can get to swinging the bats this would be a 2 or 3 seed that a lot of hosts wouldn't want in their regional.

dont disagree with anything you said and I actually expect us to finish really strong with LaPour returning = and if all that happens, this season is still a disappointment because we were expected to be and frankly have zero excuses for not being a national seed and hosting a regional and a super on the way to Omaha this year. This year we had a team that had no excuses allowed in a really weak B12.

Zero excuses? I would say losing your top two pitchers before the first game are pretty good excuses for how the season has gone.

The announcers were talking about 15 Big 12 wins getting Baylor into the NCAA tournament not the Big 12 Tournament.

Twelve teams make the Big 12 Tournament. Unless Baylor loses every Big 12 game the rest of the way, it is in the Big 12 tournament.

Plus Eudy. Down 3 top arms after LaPour’s
first start. Plus Franco missed time.

I guess “toads” is supposed to be pejorative? Just as easy to type “frogs.”

Don't come in here w facts or logic. Sarloos needs to be shot at dawn, the rest of the staff fired, all of the players need to be expelled, and Lupton should be bulldozed and a table tennis facility built in it's place. The fact that Texas Wesleyan has a better table tennis program is highly disturbing.

Almost forgot; Delete thread, ban user, bench Cron, and kill @steelfrog

Kansas is winning our conference - and projected to be the ONLY Big 12 host in two years if they can manage to not lose a series on the way in - if they lose one, the B12 will have NO hosts for the second year in a row.

That is how bad our conference is in baseball - two years with one team at best hosting and its KANSAS....

Every team in the top 25 has had starters out for injuries - yet they didnt fall off the map to the middle of the pack in the 5th or 6th best conference in baseball.

We didn't need to be healthy to win our conference and get a hosting spot - we just needed to live up to even half the expectations for the team.

but then you were part of the group that thought finishing 7th in football and getting gifted the Alamo bowl because no one else could go was good enough also - so again settling for mediocre seems ok with most of our fanbase.

The focus is on our current situation. Hope we get LaPour back and continue winning. Currently projected to go to College Station regional. We are 25-15 and battling. Let the season play out.
