We will see if Gene is a man or a mouse.

Done in by a Wichita State transfer, damn shame.

KU threw their mid-week starter with a 5+ ERA and we scored 1 run. After that, they threw  mediocre arms until the 9th when they put in their closer and we still couldn't plate more than 1 run - largely because our situational hitting is terrible (10 LOBs).

We threw our bad mid-week starter for 3 innings and then our best pen guys the rest of the way. And, we still lost.

We'll face WVU or TCU tomorrow (we lost the series to both 1-2). The only way we don't lose is if Boerma throws a gem and/or the sleepy bats we've had for the last month wake up.

Lose tomorrow and it'll be surprising if we make the tourney because we'll likely have an RPI in the 50s and three of the four other Big 12 bubble teams (Cincy, TCU, UCF) will have better RPIs with KU potentially surpassing us as well.

From the fun fact department - it would be interesting to know if an NCAA head coach has ever had at least one player who would become a first round draft pick on his teams for five straight years and fail to reach the NCAA tourney a single time. In Hughes' case, it's 2019 & 2021 (Wicks - no tourney in 2020) and 2022, 2023, 2024 (likely Culpepper).

Our RPI isn't going to be in the 50s.  We've been in the middle 30s for 2 months.

We're at 44 (and falling) in the NCAA RPI and at 48 (and falling) in the D1baseball.com RPI.

Today is quite likely a must-win game.

Pete was fired at OU after his only appearance in the post season while there.  OU won the first game, and then got outscored 22-1 in their next two games in the regional.

OU Before/After Pete: 12 post season appearances in 14 seasons, 2 CWS appearances, CWS runner-up. During Pete, 1 post season in 4 years.

Pete will deliver us to the promised land. #CHOOSEHUGHES

Look we get it. He loses today and misses a post season appearance this year he will be done at KSU. I have it on good authority.

Just turned it on

Is icing down your pitching arm still a thing?  Boerema needs a couple bags.  Nice win.

Needed a gem from Boerma and we got it (at least by our standards).

I "think" if we can beat TCU tomorrow, we're back on the right side of the bubble. Lose and who the hell knows.

Wentworth threw 34 pitches yesterday, so perhaps he gets the start tomorrow and then he goes as long as he can before we go with Dean. Only bad part is TCU roughed up Wentworth a couple of weeks ago (6 ER in 3.1 innings). But, Dean held his own in that same game (1 run on 3 hits in 4.2 innings).
