Bro, do you even 1989?


I was at that game. Different kind of disappointing, I guess.

plays no defense


Maybe, but he’s athletic and big for a guard and will be joining a team that stresses high energy defense - and he’ll be playing for his next contract. He should be motivated.
Freshcorn can throw some, too.
Last year was the most disappointing season in the history of A&M baseball.

Hang in there.
Glad to be wrong!

And we got solid pitching today! Nice to just use Sims and Lyons.


But there is just no way we plate 9 runs again tomorrow.

But what percent of game 1 losers won the series?


Well, I’m no Einstein, but imma guess 29%

We’re not falling for this amateur bs. Texas can’t lose. Jinx denied.

I don't get this reference.


Internet says upside down pineapples are used as a sign for swingers to recognize swingers, and Sclongtaster is a swinger.
Best portal player we've ever brought in. I'm just encouraged that maybe we're finally spending money on basketball.

Well, for good reasons. The dude is a lying, swinging, wife restraining order having, narcissistic, a-hole piece of shite. He's a user. He not only left A&M bot Texas (which is a bitch move all by itself), but he did so while publicly berating a young journalist, and then working HARD to DESTROY the very program loved by a whole community of people who had supported his program in every way and had paid him millions of dollars. He's the scum of the earth. He's a piece of shite human being.

We probably won’t get 9 guys crossing the plate a second time.


You know, unless we score 8 runs in the first inning of game two...

Then why does game 1 loser lose the series 79% of the time


Same reason the game 2 loser loses the series about the same percentage of the time. Math.
quote:

Yes but this stat includes game 1 winners. You’re out thinking yourself. In super regionals teams that lose game 1 have only gone on to win the super 21percent of the time.


“Yes, but that stat includes game 2 winners.”

That works both ways.

Statistically, winning game one or game two doesn’t nothing more or less than then alternative in predicting the series winner.
A quick AI query told me that, in MLB, game one winners won the series 71% of the time, and game two winners won the series 75% of the time.
That’s deceptive. In supers, game 3 winners advance 100% of the time.

Truth is, they’re all equal. Winning game one increases your changes of winning the series, but so does winning game two.

I bet game one winners win a three game series about exactly as often as game two winners.

Here’s another way to think about it: if you know you’ll be 1-1 going into game 3, does it matter which game you won? It doesn’t. Game 1 and game 2 are exactly equal in importance in a three game series.

(Obviously, this is not the case in a double elimination tournament where losing game one forces you to the loser’s bracket, where you have to win an extra game and use more arms in your path to winning the tournament.)
We’re going to need one stellar pitching performance to win the series. We probably won’t get 9 guys crossing the plate a second time.

It seems like there is a group of six tightly clustered, then a group of eight tightly clustered, then two teams at the bottom.

That could change, obviously. But that’s what it seems.

Season series split 1-1


Bucky was the last coach hired, after almost all the portal players were picked up, returned nobody, lost his best player to season ending injury, played the whole season with a 6’6 center, and still won in Austin and finished 5th in the SEC.

Now he picks up a top 3 portal player, and sips snd coonasses are talking shite on the recruiting board?

Pathetic.

Haggerty and Mgbako on the court are going to be nice.
