7-0 final. We've been pretty bad on Sundays this year (outside of the USM win).

Now we are saying Sundays are a jinx? The reality is JK did the right thing by firing OG. The fact that this board is measuring Rice Baseball versus the likes of UTSA WK and Charlotte is all that needs to be said. The program has sunk to unacceptable lows. A change should have been made years ago.

No, we've been pretty bad the other days too.
Lighten up Francis.

RE: 2pm Sunday baseball series finale @UTSA game thre
I think I said before this weekend that we needed to go 7-2 in the last nine C-USA games to be sure of a tournament berth.
IMO, going 2-1 this weekend on the road against the best remaining opponent was a good step in that direction.
Yes, 5-1 the rest of the way won’t be easy, but it’s doable.

5 and 1 is definitely doable versus the competition. Could even go 6-0. The players have pride.

Again, very few have been arguing that a change is in order. The issue is how this whole contract situation was handled, and many of us feel it couldn't have been handled any worse than it's been. And you're in a minority if you honestly think the change should have been made "years ago".

Yes, they do, but they certainly didn't show it today. As bad as the pitching was (until Garcia got the call late), the offense was pathetic today. They didn't come to play.

"Not your traditional double play, but you'll take it." Indeed!! Wow!
That was strange. 3-2 count, checked swing, plate ump called ball. Runner on 1st trots toward 2nd, tagged by Cruz. On appeal, 1b ump called strike.
