Well pitched game by your two pitchers! Impressive stuff for freshman. Our offensive magic had to end at some point. Oh well, there's always next year....

@John_Royal: "Addison Moss to start the game for Rice and then Wayne Graham says he'll take volunteers." Moss' statistics: 3-1, 22 App, 6.45 ERA, .274 BAA, 1.54 WHIP...

For tonight's game: -Evan Kravetz, Lefty, ERA in the mid 4's is available for a bunch of innings... -Zach Esquivel, started against TSU yesterday but only threw like thirty pitches could probably go a couple... Usually good but hasn't been lately. -Jackson Parthasarathy, 6.14 ERA but pitching ...
Graham said in his postgame press conference that he was probably going to start Kendall Jefferies against SLU this afternoon. Jefferies doesn't have great stats but did notch some nice midweek W's for us this year against regional teams in UH and Sam Houston. If we are lucky enough to win this ...

In 2004, LSU actually hosted a super regional when they were originally paired with Rice's regionally, the #6 national seed. A&M ended up winning our regional, due in large part to the fact that Texas Southern upset us (the defending national champions) in our opening game. Phil Humber, our ace (...

Yeah that does appear to be correct based on this page: https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=287301 I don't even follow baseball recruiting to be honest. ...

I would say Proctor isn't playing quite as well as he did last year. He's only batting a touch above .300 whereas last year he was in the mid .330s. His fielding percentage is also slightly lower this year, but I think that's largely influenced by us not having our 2B for the first 1/4 of the...

To reply to a few of the comments on here: On Canterino's oddly low BAA vs. ERA: I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, but I have a bit of a hypothesis. He often pitches really well (like All-American, unbeatable) for ~5 innings. He really relies on striking folks out, so his pitch counts can g...

Is that the all time series record, otherwise those numbers mean nothing to me....

Rice Preview (From a Rice Fan)

Posted by owlTX on 5/29/17 at 4:13 pm
Rice has had a tale of two seasons. After starting 13-25, Rice went 18-4 down the stretch and won the C-USA tourney to finish 31-29. At mid season, many fans were calling for Coach Graham's head, lamenting that we haven't been to Omaha since 2008 and although 22 straight years of regionals had been ...

re: Rice again!!

Here's the quick story on our team... Will post more later: -Our best pitcher is Glenn Otto. He was hurt early in the year and it took him a while to get back, but he has been very good lately. He doesn't start, by can pitch 5-6 innings when necessary. -Our three main starters are freshman Matt ...
I like our chances in this regional, especially now that we know the ground rules ;)...

re: Will Rice pitch Fox tomorrow?

Posted by owlTX on 6/7/16 at 12:15 am
I am a Rice fan with pretty in depth knowledge of the team.. In his post game presser, Graham said the three guys that will be available are Austin Solecitto, Willy Amador, and Blake Fox (For an inning or two): Austin Solecitto: Has not pitched yet during this regional. Has a 4.61 ERA. Is deaf, s...
