Nice comeback win!

Let's keep it going tomorrow.

Did the CF fall down? Was the play at the plate close? Shallow fly to CF, how did we score???? (but I'm glad we did).

It was very close at the plate.

Always smile. Enjoy today, worry about tomorrow . . . . tomorrow.

Always smile. Aggie wins are always good things. Whatever happens, happens...but don't ever be upset with an A&M win...even if it is over a bunch of UT-wannabes.

Let's just be happy with a come from behind win and drive on. We'll see what happens tomorrow and hopefully go into the weekend with some momentum.

See ya Wed. night.

I would have had to have been a perfect throw to get him. The throw was just a little up the 1B side. Hill slid in before the tag.

where is the txstate mouth now?

I couldn't make it to the game tonight, but I bet it was as painful as the last two I saw with Nebraska (Fri and Sun). Surely, we gotta start hitting eventually, right? Right!

OK - I will smile.

See ya tomorrow. Same time, same place.

no bq, we've been saying that all season...I'm pretty convinced that the bats wont ever come around...Even if they did, it would be too little too late.

Its sad that it took a comeback and extra innings to beat a second rate tech prepatory school.

Funny thing is that we ended up with double-digit hits tonight. And, if I remember correctly, we actually out-hit Missouri a couple of weekends ago.

Yes, the hitting is weaker than it needs to be, but the TIMELY hitting is the bigger issue.

APHIS -

That has nothing to do with it. The Devil Rays beat the Yankees from time to time. Plenty of Big XII schools have had problems with Southland-type teams. Baylor is only 13-11 in non-conference games. Conversely, even with all of our struggles, A&M is 19-6-1 outside of Big XII play. Two of those losses came at the Minute Maid Classic and two came in one day at the Domino's Classic. One other loss was to UT-Arlington and the other at Rice. That part of our game is not too shabby.

we only outscored SWT 25-8 this year and went 3-0; i would be running my mouth as well if i were him.

You are absoLUKEly right, Sir Luke.

I know. I've been watching them in person, and it is extremely painful sometimes. Our clutch hitting is almost non-existent. We get lots of hits that are basically meaningless. That doesn't show up in the stats for the casual observer. Well, I will still be at the games yelling for the Ags to pull just one more out. Come on Ags, finish strong!

There are worse teams to beat in extra innings than Texas State. The Bobcats have beaten Nebraska and Baylor, and they came damn close to beating Texas.

I am by no means saying that our season is going well or that this game salvages the year or anything like that. We've still got a ton of problems. But to say that we're not any good because of a single game against UT-lite only proves ignorance of the game. We may not be any good for a myriad of reasons, but this one comeback win is not one of them.

The thing is, we should beat these teams soundly sometimes too. We have struggled against weak teams, and posted losses to many of them. tech, Mizzou, UTA, SDU, SHSU, OU, UH. None of those teams are very good. I'm fully aware that we will struggle against weak teams sometimes, but it shouldn't be the norm.

One thing I saw tonight that is starting to creep back into our system is fighting back late... Nebraska on Saturday and tonight, the team didn't give up, they didn't give in, they battled back and did what it took to get the W.

Maybe we wouldn't like to see them have to try to do that so much, but it's not like they're folding.

I don't think anybody has acused any Ags of folding. I know they are trying, but they still aren't winning...

There are almost 300 Division 1 baseball teams. There is no 1-AA. It is just like college basketball. In baseball, Texas St. is a quality win. They are a top 60-65 program.
