Great, Wilmsmeyer is an even worse hitter than Diggs.

We deserved that with the putrid AB's with RISP.

To lose to "Bubbles" by a walk... Dang!

Not sure why we use Faherty at all anymore. Dude just wilts.

This team has shown that a number of players can hit and big, but none consistently. Someone needs to fix them between the ears because they’re better than this. It has to be frustrating for all concerned.

Out hit aTm 9 to 5. Just didn’t get them when we needed them.

Likely gonna have to slug it out the rest of the weekend and hope for the best. Interested in seeing Wood as a starter. Emotional guy out of the pen most times. Hopefully he can control that as a starter and win the mental game.

Yeah if I’m A&M, I’m absolutely going to try to get into Gage’s head early and often.

I hope he’s game for the task

Yeah we played good enough to win. Just a bit unlucky. If this was a must win we probably get another inning out of HS and GG and win.

As it stands, it’s kind of a worse case scenario. We’re down a starter and used all of our top BP arms. We could easily get sweep.

It would be awesome if Gage goes nuts today and gives us 6 innings giving up only 2 runs.

I’m keeping expectations in check though. If he can go 5 giving up 3 I’ll consider it a success.

Only Arkansas could lose a game like we did last night. I swear it's like the sports world keeps finding new and creative ways to break our heart.

This.

Hell, even Wilmsmeyer had 2 hits and reached a 3rd time on an error, and he hadn’t had a hit since the Ole Miss series.

We had a couple of balls to the warning track that are probably gone any other day, as well as one Stovall hit to LCF that would’ve scored Wilmsmeyer from 1st but was caught on the run by their CF who morphed into Willie Mays.

Honestly, I think DVH got a bit stubborn last night and didn’t play small ball when he needed to. Wilmsmeyer was on 1st base twice with no outs and we didn’t try to steal. I keep hearing about his blazing speed but we never seem to use it in the rare event he reaches. When he’s getting hits and reaching, we’ve got to cash in on those rare opportunities.

We're going to have to resort to small ball to make any sort of noise in the postseason because we're mediocre at the plate and we can't hit the long ball. Case in point - A&M's top 3 home run hitters have 27, 24, and 18. Meanwhile our top three have 11 (Aloy), 9 (Stovall) and 7 (three guys).

He has almost gone full gonzo on launch angle baseball. We used to play small ball more. This team is about as well suited for small ball as you will find. We can't hit with RISP worth a shite. Might as well bunt and shuffle runners around the base path that way.

NC State game ring a bell?

DVH burnt some quality pitching last night to just get beat with a damn walk.

Lefties that can throw a decent breaking ball is our kryptonite, the book is out and wide open.

I think it would depend on the tiebreaker but if we get swept and Georgia sweeps, we could fall all the way down to the #5 seed in the SECT.

Which, I don’t care about the SECT but if we fall all the way to the 5 seed in the conference and the committee gets set on only letting 4 teams from the SEC be a national seed…

We’re hitting .185 with RISP.

But yeah let’s definitely keep Nate Thompson.
