Still early, but Texas, Rice, and Baylor all appear to be in the top 25 and headed for good seasons... Anyone have a chance to see any of these teams so far.. and any comments on them?
Rice is ranked #6 by baseball america and UT-Austin is #10. Baylor isn't currently ranked - they lost a lot from last season but still have some solid arms. The Owls have suffered from the loss of 3 pitchers who were counted on to be starters, leaving us vulnerable during mid-week games (while other unscrupulous coaches consistently throw their aces during mid-week games...). However, we've recently gotten one of the pitchers back from injury (Bobby Bell) and should be good to go. The season is about at its half-way point. The cream will rise to the top during conference play which is just starting. There's a lot of parity in college baseball this year, that's for certain.
bigtexx.. I just noticed that baylor isn't ranked in baseball america... I had just seen a collegiate baseball ranking on another board and was going by that (then again that ranking also has my school ranked too) I guess there is some variation this early in the season.
An interesting score from this weekend.... don't remember the exact score but South Carolina put up over 20 on Florida.. looks like they are going to be good as always
