We held Mizzou to two runs in nine innings, were hitting against their fourth starter, and lost. Not a good loss.

This is why we can’t get out of the regionals with this team. Can’t hit good pitching. Any pitcher than can bend it will own us.

We actually got a great performance out of Ruffin and lost because he made one mistake. Also, I don’t think we’ve gotten Pfriday out in two years.

Going to extra innings tied 2-2.

Ruffin got the start. Texas up 1-0 batting in the top of the 4th.

The problem is that Missouri will absolutely slaughter poor pitching. We need to get a quality start out of someone or they will deplete our pen.

It’s hard to get out of the mindset that we need to win that first game to advance. Since we will play three games before the championship, it makes sense to start Workman on Wednesday, and then go back to the regular rotation starting with Ruffin on Thursday.

I think either Workman or Boening will get the start.

The compressed season took it’s toll on ERAs nation wide, it wasn’t just us. It doesn’t help that we have a bunch of freshmen on the staff with a freshman catcher. We don’t have those two dominators that can drag us through the supers, we have a shaky bullpen, and we haven’t been able to hit a changeup since Majewski left, but we have a lot better shot now than we did midseason.

It’ll be interesting to see how well we do in the Big 12 tournament. We actually need to do well, for once.

We’re as puzzled as you are. The only thing Texas didn’t do well this weekend was bunt. It will be interesting to see who starts tomorrow. I can’t imagine Ruffin is ready to go. Isn’t the game at 9AM? Wake me if we aren’t losing at 11.

agree 100%. I thought this would be a really good team, then after the mizzou debacle, I didn’t think they’d even get a regional invite, much less host one. then Kasparek, the most inconsistent of the pitchers, starts stringing some good pitching together, the defense improves, and we sweep aggy. who knows……
