The Game 4 Thread of Potential Elimination...

[NewFrogFan]

Can't expect to upset a national seed when you can't hit the ball. It was just a matter of time.

I sure hope the anemic hitting is addressed beyond the new players that will replace those that leave.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

How many will River hit?

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

Still time but let the post mortems begin.

Still have 9 outs and we've been in worse positions in the past. Lupton Magic still travels very well.

That was the first inning of TCU baseball I've watched all season so you can blame me I guess.

Reminded me of the Rangers-Blue Jays Game 5 of the 2015 ALDS. You could just feel it coming even though TCU had the lead

Seeing lots of games with 20+ runs scored today. The double elim format is basically whichever teams have the deepest bullpens advance

 

[TCUWIN]

All I can say is…Go Louisville….unless they lose to Michigan. Then Go Big Blue!

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Got to be more aggressive at the plate.
Need to crowd the plate more.

Krob didn't help himself any in the 7th plus Saarloos is always late with the hook.

You can't put this on Krob. Saarlos just rode him as long as he could. Seems like he knew he had Savage or nothing behind him. Turned out nothing. Cry Me a River is so far in the doghouse that he went back to a used up Wright.

Need to stop recruiting travel ball players who have completely used up noodle arms due to overuse. The insistence on recruiting travel ball players is why I refuse to get into TCU baseball.

Home plate Ump is not going to let Aggies lose. It would be great to come to bat knowing you can’t strike out on thrown strikes. They just get called balls so you can walk or swing away. Good fun to be an ESECPN team.

 

[Pharm Frog]

We’re out of pitchers.
This is going to be an ugly couple innings.

Honestly a decent season. We’ll take an outright Big 12 title with a new head coach. Future should still be bright. Aggies finally got one on us. We’ll see ‘em again.

Better result than Schloss had with virtually the same team. Leave BM in College Station along with Winkler and Purke and go re-tool the program with a bad ass recruiting specialist as should have been done. And get some strength and conditioning into the program. Need some thickness. Too often look like boys among men.

Yes Krob ran out of gas but you can't blame it all on Savage. He came in, in a tough spot.
I put it all on Saarloos for not getting him after that first hit.

Best thing that could happen is Mo get a head coaching job and make the decision easy.
Don't know if Saarloos would let Mo go.

 

[East Coast]

Seems like we always run out out of bullpen arms in the playoffs

Almost everyone coming out of the loser's bracket is short on arms.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Does River know there’s two outs?

Definitely need to reassess the BM situation. Need a new hitting coach and pitching coach. And maybe Bryan Carrington can recruit for baseball too.

 

[BleedNPurple]

So we’ll get out of the 7th inning at 4:00 am tomorrow?

 

[Big Frog II]

Relief pitching has been our Achilles heel too often this year.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Then KS should go. Can’t have another CGP situation. But I agree. Harder to do it now than to do it last summer when it should have been done.

 

[Frogs1983]

Frogs undone by a "savage" relief pitching performance! Longest damm inning ever!!

 

[TCUWIN]

Even ESPN/SEC announcers questioning that ball call. So bad!
