Absolutely pathetic. Although we had some hits in Game 2, we couldn't execute fundamentals or get the big hit.

This may be Mark Johnson's worst hitting team of his career. Wow. Unless we put a huge winning streak together in conference play, this season is all but over. All that matters is making it to Omaha, and right now this team will not even come close to that goal.

Very, very disappointing.

the warning signs were there back in the domino's classic.

par for the course my friend.

damn this team being in the top 25, no way they make it to a regional, and have a chance to go to OMAHA, the Season is over, we started 2-4 in the conference, who cares, it will be fine, tu started 0-3, they will be fine too... if tech takes one from them tomorrow we will have the same record..... its baseball, losses happen.

I think it is obvious that we don't have the bats to take us anywhere this year. The pitching is there but until someone decides to step up and be the Patton of this team we are in serious trouble.

Starting to look a lot like 1990...that team had some pretty good pitching, but was not a strong offensive team.

When you score a total of 3 runs in 4 conference losses, that is some seriously impotent hitting.

When your pitching only gives up a total of 6 runs in three of those losses, it makes the lack of offense even more aggravating.

Hopefully the hitting will right itself, but it's looking more like a trend than an anomaly at the midpoint of the season.

i am really disappointed in this club. i was looking foward to a great season at Olsen. now, im not sure what to expect. ill still route for the aggies, but i wont get my hopes up

bthotu, we should be better than this...even those who are johnson backers (I'm neither backer nor naysayer at this point) should admit this team is underachieving at this point, and doesn't look to change anytime soon.

I know you believe you are looking at the big picture when you say 'this is baseball, losses happen'. That is true. However, the bigger picture is that there are some glaring weaknesses on this team that you simply can't ignore. Either everyone in our starting lineup is in an unprecedented slump, or it will be a long year.

I was baptized in Aggie Baseball my Fish year during the glorious '89 season (moment of silence), and I can't remember a year that we have been shutout so often. It is concerning to say the least.

I'm sure MJ and the boys haven't given up on the season, as most on this board have not. But this is a tough conference, tougher still to climb from the standings basement. We can't afford too many more 1-2 series, but the bats must pick up or that is exactly what we'll get.

Well, after sweeping Vandy, beating TCU, and sweeping Texas we have now scored only 1 run in our last 18 innings and at the same time have walked 18.

Did we get any sort of guarantee on those swank new indoor batting cages?
