Just looked back at 2024 vs this year. I didn't realize that at this point, we are only 1/2 game back of that team's pace...the difference being we didn't play game 3 vs sip two weeks ago (2024 was 13-5 while 2026 is 12-5).


It's been quite a roll lately. The offense is arguably better than 2024 (hard to believe) and pitching the way we have the last few weeks, we are not as good pitching but not as far behind 2024 as you might think.


Let's keep rolling!!!!!!

Biggest difference is no Aschenbeck or Cortez in the bullpen this year

That provided quite the comfort level in the last half of games. If we had the lead, we were going to win.

How many blown leads after 6 innings have we had this year?

eta: The answer is 1 - Texas State

I wouldn't hate a John Stilson trotting out either.

Biggest difference between 2024 and 2026 is our head coach is focused on this team.

And won't wave a guy around 3rd. Change his mind and throw up a last second stop.

For some reason people continue to forget Stewart. His absence was the reason we didn't make post-season last year, and we miss him terribly again.
