San Diego

Embarrassing to lose that middle game. It's San Diego not LSU.

Rolls eyes.

Even the New York Yankees in their “Murderers Row” days would lose around 3 out of 10 games.

I have followed Texas baseball since late 80’s. Cold windy days early in the season is not a good combo for Texas. Would be interesting to see a plot of scoring margin vs game temperature. I bet it’s linear.

And I've had season tickets since '89. What's your point? Both teams played in the same environment, which is more common in central TX than southern CA. If a little cold air affected their play, the Horns need to get tougher mentally and focus on the controllable. The Aggies outscored McNeese 31-1 in the same weather.

My point is that it has been a historical factor - in other words it applies to multiple Horn teams, not just this season. Either it’s true or it’s not true. I’m betting it’s true.

Each national champion Longhorn baseball team was able to win all games in their opening series. Generally that's been two games not three, but still. The opening series opposition has been well below the Horns talent because college ball has a lot less parity than MLB.

And LSU dropped plenty of games last year, including losses to lowly Nichols State and to UL-Lafayette. They squeaked out a 5-3 victory over Western Michigan in Game 2 of their home opening series.

College baseball ain't college football.

I didn't know this going into the series, but San Diego is supposed to be really good this year. I can say their pitching staff compared to HCU's last night is drastically different. Their bats are much better too. I bet SDU is somewhere in the post season tournament making noise.

They are picked to finish 2nd in their conference.

You don't say.

That mid-major California baseball conference ain't bad. Didn't Augie come from there...?
