5-7 on the season but have lost 4 games by 3 or fewer runs. Just need to learn how to close out and finish some of them but they are battling in every game so far

Correct, the first two games against Purdue, there was solid pitching from starters, Mulcahy and Templeton but no run support.

In the first game against Purdue it was tied going into the bottom of the 7th, and in the second game it was tied going into the bottom of the 8th.

Against Baylor, SFA was leading going into the bottom of the 6th.

At least the Jacks are in these games as compared to last season, but yes, just need a little more from the bats to get over the finish line in some of these tight ones, thus is baseball.

It will come.

give Coach V and staff full season to recruit and he will get even more guys here. Hopefully they get him the stadium built to help him even more. He will win at SFA

First RPI of the season, for what it's worth, 238 of 307.

UNO is #63 and SFA could have/would have/should have taken that series from them.

The SLC has six teams in the top 100. A tough baseball conference.

UTRGV is #8. What the heck? How do they do that? What is the attraction? Facilities?

It's in the culture, with a heavy Latino population that has a passion for baseball, around 25 players and half their coaching staff are Latino.


They get good crowds for their baseball games.

🚨SCHEDULE UPDATE 🚨

Our game vs Houston Tillotson, originally scheduled for tomorrow, has been postponed to Wednesday at 3:00 PM CST.#AxeEm pic.twitter.com/xMMMhmRl7O

which is why it is important to remember that Rome was not built in a day. The staff will build a winner here and they need to be rewarded with the new stadium on campus, the sooner the better to get students the ability to just walk to games. More students means more revenue more exposure more lively game environment etc.

Students won't walk to soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball, beach now. They get in free.

Got some questions today about the "Pineywoods" jersey as if there's a controversy brewing. Supposedly alumni think that UT is pulling a bait and switch on is with the university name.

Are those just practice jerseys or are we playing in them? Thought I would refer to the experts.

The University of Piney Woods

Oh yes, the Piney Woods jersey plays.

Those have been around at least two years, which would be pre UT.

Thanks guys. I didn't figure that some baseball jerseys were a big deal, but it's not a sport I follow super close.

Are they just trying to be a little different? Any other sports have special jerseys?

not sure I get your point? I did not know students get in free. Like they dont have to pay any kind of sports fee at beginning of the year for a all year sports pass? They get in to any and all sports totally free?

and also all those sports have facilities on campus so why should baseball and softball be stuck off campus?

SFA does not have any kind of athletic fee. Show your student ID, and get in. It's a discussion as to why we should be one of a very few in the state like that, but that's the way it has always been. Or, at least since 1972.

I'm not disagreeing with having baseball and softball on campus if the location and money can be worked out. My point is, students don't walk to sporting events that are already on campus, I'm not sure why baseball and softball would be different.

Just showing the uniqueness of SFA I suppose.

I remember during the series with Purdue, listening to the Purdue radio commentator who was calling the game and he was trying to read what was on the SFA jersey's. After he finally made out what was on them, he said on air that he needed to do some quick research (as he wanted to know why they had Piney Woods on their jerseys), as he obviously had no knowledge of SFA.

He started reading from his research that SFA was located in Nacogdoches, in the piney woods of Texas.

Then he started reading about the tall loblolly pines of the area. lol

Yep, Piney Woods!

ok i understand what you are saying now. Wow to no students having to pay anything to get in to any event. i realize that is a great and noble idea but man it sure seems like it would be putting a ton of pressure on the athletic department to make a profit.

I am sure they have done studies etc, but even a $50 fee would be a huge increase to the overall amount of money in the athletic department. Maybe kids dont walk or go to the games because they are free. They dont appreciate what they have.

I graduated from Texas A&M a long time ago and we still had to pay a student sports pass fee that was good for every sport to go and get in for free.

You're preaching to the choir, we have gone through this many times about a sport's fee, and it was even voted on a couple of times in the last few years, but the students shot it down both times in protest.

yeah, that would not be a surprise. They will almost always vote for the free thing so admin will have to find a better creative way to convince them in the long run. Or just send a notice out saying that and seeing how many would actually not show up versus how many do now? I dont know any of those answers but man it sure seems like even $50 is a cheap ticket price for admission to every sporting event on campus.
