I thought this was the most complete series this team has played this year. It will be tough sledding without Horn, but I've been pleasantly surprised with the production at the plate. Dye has been stellar and the foundation for the future looks solid.

We just lost 9-4 at home against #9 Duke. Offense continued to look great, only 1 batter didn't get a hit. On the other hand our pitchers gave this game away between 9 walks, 4 hit batters and 2 wild pitches. I get that strikeouts are sexy but i would it much less frustrating if we had guy pounding the strike zone and getting hit hard over games like this.

Nobody tell the programs with NIL money about Macaddin Dye. Thank you!

Not much to see here. Tough to beat an overall better team with a bullpen game when the bullpen is a question mark.

We got a nice come from behind win in game 1 of our series with NMSU this weekend. This team is playing good baseball right now. Dallas Baptist lost game one of their series with western kentucky which puts us in sole possession of first place. It's worth mentioning that our last two series of the season are against the top two teams in the conference (DBU and Louisiana tech) so it would be nice to sweep or win 5 of 6 against NMSU and Jacksonville state next weekend to provide some wiggle room to lose a series later in conference play.

We win the series today. So we are 7-1 in conference play. We are playing outstanding weekend baseball the last few weeks. This is great.

Getting great hitting top-to-bottom. Seven homers today taking advantage of the winds in Las Cruces blowing out to right.
We run-ruled them in 7 innings, 15-5.

A lot of baseball (and softball) still to be played, but at the moment it looks like the negativity expressed here was misplaced. Men and women are both leading the conference.

Maybe I missed this but does anyone know what Horn's status is?

He's likely done for the year.

Still, it's nice to come away with another conference series win. Shame to not hold on and earn the sweep, but the bats have come alive and the Flames are currently one game up on DBU atop the conference standings. There's obviously plenty left to play for this year, but I think I'm most excited for the core that will (or should..) be returning for next year.

We allowed 14 walks and a hit by pitch today against VT. Three pitchers couldn't even record an out. How does a D1 bullpen have this many issues finding the strike zone?

We're just not going to win staff days right now, unfortunately. Starters will need to eat some innings in the conference tourney or it will be tough sledding.

This weekend is a big series on the road against a WKU team near the top of the conference standings. If we leave Bowling Green with two wins on Sunday, I'll be thrilled. With DBU and LaTech still left on the conference slate, winning this series would be a significant step toward securing a comfortable seed for the tournament.

[Ill flame]

Lost first two games of the series. We have to win tomorrow to retake 1st place.

Any of you LU Texans planning to make it to DBU this weekend?

[Sly Fox]

I wish. DBU is a bit of a haul even from my location that is referred to as South Dallas by my friends in Houston.

Soooooo, is it time to get a new head coach or what?






Just wondering.

Jackson has certainly done a tremendous amount for this program so I personally believe he’s earned next year to fix this.

With that being said our win total and on field product have been steadily declining for a few years now. And this years record of 3-21 against quad 1 and 2 teams is eye opening to say the least. I understand that we are in a tougher conference this year but we were bad last year too and we had multiple seasons where we routinely beat ACC teams but not this year at all so the tougher conference isn’t causing this decline.

This is very concerning.
