On behalf of the OTF staff, I hope everyone has a safe, happy and healthy Memorial Day.

After the grind that is college baseball’s regular season, including 29 SEC games, Texas will learn its road to Omaha in just over an hour.

The show has been moved from ESPN2 to ESPN.

The Longhorns were announced last night as one of 16 regional hosts. We’ll find out if Texas (40-13, 19-10 SEC) made the cut for a top-8 national seed when the field of 64 is unveiled.

I’ll be live on the OTF YouTube channel with @Blake Munroe and @CJ Vogel for the selection show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will the committee follow softball’s lead and pair up Texas with Texas A&M in a potential Austin Super Regional?

I could get behind that. Hopefully the Agros don’t hold up their end of the bargain in either softball or baseball!!! 

Make sure to join Jeff, Blake and I for the live reveal on YouTube.

Is this good for us?

Tarleton State shut us down mid season using several pitchers.

 

Great look at the season numbers for the Austin Regional. 

If you go by RPI, it’s a good draw.

UCSB is 38th.

Tarleton is 56th.

Holy Cross is 201.

The biggest question is what type of #2 and #3 starters UCSB has.

Overall, it’s favorable.

True, but midweek games are just different.  They shouldn’t be, we should have the same energy and giddy up on offense, but doesn’t always happen until it’s too late . And pitching definitely different .

Is there a color key for this ? Confusing 

What super are we paired with?

Eugene, Aggy paired with Chapel Hill

I feel better about this draw than I did last year's draw. UTSA and Kansas State were better teams than Tarleton State and UCSB, IMO.

Very favorable draw in regional and Oregon is a very fortunate super matchup on top of that. This team needs to be in Omaha.

Shoot tarleton gave us BTA earlier this year lol, hopefully we re-pay them a favor.
