6 hits to 5

Nice. Not throwing their ace almost came back to burn them because their bats are so weak!

They won. It's not a moral victory that they were outhit and still won.

What a difference two weeks makes on TexAgs...

who said anything about moral victory?

It's a fact. It's in the books...

Has it been 3 or 4 weeks since Princeton's last game?

I'm just thankful they still use runs scored to determine the winner...

Yeah Texas still won. Who cares about hits?

Whether they won or not isn't really the point of the post. The point of the post is to highlight how crappy tu's offense really is.

Yes, they won. Congrats to them. Their offense still sucks.

Stats are for losers. The Horns won the game and that's all that matters. We're in the playoffs now...style points mean nothing.

Luke +1.

They did win, but style points early in a tournament could, indeed, portend more serious concern down the road. Nobody's doubting which stat is best.

I agree that it's not worth a gloating post, but from a purely analytical standpoint, one does have to wonder how long it will be before their sticks betray them in this thing.

sip fans have been wondering this all year, heck Aggie fans have been wondering the same for most of the season.

Texas is going to have a tough time getting hits tonight as well as Kent State held their Ace, Chafin, out of game 1. He's 7-1 on the year with a 1.90 ERA and an opponents batting average of .193. Might be a 1-0 12 inning game.

You going to the game sodium? Should be a good one.

Give me 5 runs/game throughout the tournament and I like our chances to go far.

Silly thread. Coming from TexasRebel though? Not a surprise.

some of you must not like baseball very much if runs are all that matter to you.

I'll take a 1-0 win on a 4-base error over a 15-hit loss every time.

Who wouldn't? A 15 hit loss likely means that you have terrible pitching.

What was the earned runs vs unearned runs in that game

and I'll take a 1-0 loss giving up 3 singles a the wrong time before that...

using luck and other teams miscues to win is a house of cards on a thin sheet of ice.

An ugly win is always better than a loss, especially during tourney time.

all 8 runs were earned.

They also had 7 walks. Poor post. Luke +2

5/8/2011 was the last game Princeton played prior to last night.

so now baseball fans are losers? This is probably not the correct board for that claim.

I love ragging on the horns as much as the next guy but they won the only stat that matters.

One ugly win is not a bad thing. But a season of consistently poor hitting is an indication, in my opinion, of an over-hyped team that is not well-rounded enough to win out (absent TU's amazing amount of luck, favorable umps, etc.) I do agree with TR that baseball games played between two teams that are well balanced pitching wise, hitting wise and fielding wise are much more enjoyable and that it is worthwhile for fans to take note of other teams' lack of hitting, etc.

Yes the sips got themselves a national seed by pure luck and favorable calls from the blues.




Oh and I almost forgot, the committee jobbed the Ags to give them that national seed.

Thank God for some sanity. Very strange thread title/emoticon after a horn win.

this didnt turn out like the OP expected.

about like I expected from the football board, maybe.


Are none of you getting that the horns were outhit by a team that hasn't played in nearly a month. Without the gifted base runners most of you would simply be saying "It doesn't matter why. The 'sips lost" ...which also, wouldn't be worth saying.
