Really need to go 6-2 over the next 8, which would make the record 7-5 heading into the OU series. If we go 4-4 or worse over the next 8, it may be a long season.
Well considering how weak this tournament is……then you have Texas Southern, UTRGV for 3 games followed up by Prairie View….that should honestly be an 8-0 run….all of those teams will have RPI’s well over 100 by seasons end.
Then OU is good but not world beaters……picked 5th in Big 12.
Damn good thing we were playing a not good team……how do you not take advantage of 9 walks is beyond me….
Obviously I was not at the game but if I were the manager of the other team about to play UH I would have all my guys making them throw a strike before we really get started in the AB.
Until they realize that is what is happening and start grooving meatballs over the heart of the plate.
With my baseball teams I have them think of strikes like girls/women……I f you have no strikes, you are only swinging if the pitch is like the most beautiful woman you have ever seen, a “perfect 10” in their eyes……with one strike she does not need to be a knockout but needs to be someone you would take home to meet your parents….two strikes——beer goggles are fine….never go down looking.
We are a tough team to pitch against……patience drives average pitchers nuts.
