Texas probably already has a national seed. Texas starters, pitching especially could use 8-12 days rest. What's to gain in playing this or another game? Maybe a next to worthless title and trophy, or a broken foot to your best pitcher.

Entertaining to see sneezy and a Dawg get all worked up over nothing.

No regular season title, no tournament title.

Objectively not a championship team

You don't rest pitchers that long pretty much ever, that's why Volantis is in now to get work with the weekend likely over.

Meaningless game

Schloss is an odd duck. We're practically guaranteed a hosting spot for the first two rounds of the big tournament, so to him it's just a scrimmage, an opportunity to give little-used pitchers some playing time. I don't like it as a fan, but maybe it's the smart thing to do, what do I know?

TX obviously didn’t care per the pitching rotation. But I think it’s the same lineup that has only scored 1 run

Exactly! Did he tell batters not to hit too? Since it’s a meaningless game?

About to be 6 losses in a row for Texas against Arkansas. 10 of the last 12.

So how many national championships has Schloss won with this solid strategy?

Yep. Zero.

I get it. The data says it’s not working though.

to be fair, our hitters have disappeared in plenty of meaningful games this season. it's a pretty inconsistent lineup.

Probably not. His foot may not be broken but it's gonna be purple for about a week.

I don't want to take away from the Arkansas pitchers, they're pitching lights out. But when your coach starts your worst pitcher, it sends a message to everyone that this game really doesn't matter and I have to think it affects batting. But as tBrand pointed out above, our bats have gone ice cold plenty of times this season.
