This week's NCAA baseball rankings

[LeagueCityFrog]

TCU back in the rankings this week. 4 total BIG XII teams.

Find that third starting pitcher Coach Schloss and you've got something this year with that offense, Lodolo, and Perez.

Our offense has more power 1-9 than any team I can remember. By that I mean more opportunities for a home run from every guy in the lineup. There is some pop is nearly every bat 1-9.

My biggest concern lies in looking forward/projecting the postseason. We have years and years of history with teams that don't hit the long ball particularly well, but pitch and play great defense. That formula has shown to be more successful in the postseason and especially in Omaha when the fences get bigger. I am not in love with our defense thus far, and outside of Lodolo, really don't feel good about any other starting pitcher on the roster. It's a weird feeling because I think we are a solid ball club, I just don't know if the formula we are using is the best one for postseason success. Not a knock whatsoever, just an honest assessment and comparison to years past.

In order to win in the post season you need at least two top notch starters and a closer. We check two of those boxes right now.

You are correct in the formula. I'm just not ready to call Williamson, "top notch" at this point.

Worth noting the Mississippi State is currently sitting at #2.

I think he means one starter and a close are the two boxes checked.

You are right. I apologize for my lack of attention to detail. Carry on

Williamson was lights out against a good Texas A&M team down in H-Town a couple a weeks ago. One wonders if our offense gets ahead early in games if weekend starters Williamson and say Charles King stay chill and throw controlled heat for 7-8 innings Lodolo style then hand the final outs to Perez and off we go...

I’ll worry about the postseason and especially the vastness of TDA if and when we get there. That said, as presently performing I don’t like our odds in a regional.

Also.... TCU has a bad RPI right now and around the #206 strength of schedule out of around 299.

SOS is 164th currently and will only get much better

I think this is regional team but I don’t think this is a regional hosting team. We’ve gotta get better on the mound to make a real run at anything.
