All I am saying is let's not confuse them with a team that hits hard, hits high average, and on and on. Our pitching has been ragged ever since the UNO game. Texas State is winning games because of adequate hitting and better than average pitching.
They are in third place because they have not had a full week end of the pain train. Very likely to leave tied for fourth or fifth place Sunday evening.
Lots of our out of conference opponents lost yesterday. We stayed at 12 rpi at Warren Nolan.
FYI Alabama at South Carolina on ESPN at 1:00 today. Rooting for Alabama to stay on top the SEC with the series win we have over them.
Bama and USC tied 1/1 top of the fifth coming up. Both pitchers have low count, but the USC guy is way low at only 40 to start the inning. .
Alabama wins 2-1
Current RPI #9!
Texas lost today
Cal Poly down 5-0 in 4th
Houston down 3-0 in 9th
Those are three we want to lose in baseball, but want Texas to win in softball? Hell yea, getting my Longhorn love and hate all mixed up. No, no wait Texas needs to lose a few in softball they are getting too much RPI love.
Not buying it. A whole season of stats vs a weekend. They hit the ball because we pitched very poorly.
Boomer you are the king of the NOW is the NORM, when the very definition of the norm is determined by a large sample.
TXST played teams with good out of conference pitching so did everybody else in the league, so I am not going to give them a Papal dispensation for a hard schedule. Just like our HOT bats. Yea they seem to NOT be HOT all the time. We need a refund for lack of performance.
Of the 13 players that play regularly, 7 are hitting below .250........and 2 below .170. Only 2 hitting above .300.....and one of those just barely. Of those 13, seven have slugging percentages below .350.
I believe we will win the series today, but I'm a bit concerned about having enough pitching for the two against SLU.
Mirror image of Strentz's slump this year to Compton's last year. If I remember correctly, Chase's bats woke up VERY late in the season
