Quest for the Postseason
-
First thread! Thank you @approxinfinity for creating this new page.
I really think KU has a shot at making the post season this year. Would be fun to watch them in the tournament and see what they can do! Big 12 normally gets 6-7 teams, think KU has a chance to dance.
-
#23 again this week. Fitz has us in a good spot
-
Squad is cooking - hitting bombs with decent college pitching
Half of baseball is believing in your team. A few timely hits and you can win games you have no business winning!
-
For anyone that hasnt followed KU Baseball much this year, KU had a game where they went back to back to back to back to back homeruns. 5 in a row! Never seen that before at any level. Super impressive. There’s a video of it out there but I still havent figured out how to post them.
-
We got a really good team. I’ve watched most of the games maybe missed one-- -two at most.— Thing is with this squad they make opposing pitches really work. they might have multiple 8-9 pitch at bats.–They two strikes they just keep fouling off working the count.
They just swept the # 8th ranked team in the preseason in the Nation Oklahoma St, even though Okie St has kind of been a bust… They was predicted to win the Big 12.
KU is right around fifth in the Nation right now while hitting fifty nine home runs so far I believe , KU’S record for a season is seventy five, they will break that.-- They just broke their all time attendance record for a game at like 2,260 fans- people are taking notice , students showing up.
This team can win in multiple ways.- They for sure can hit the long ball at almost anytime- -they are dangerous one through nine , they can string multiple hits together, they make the other pitcher work deep in counts-I think they lead or close to the top in the Big Twelve in walks-- they for sure lead the big twelve in-home runs. Very exciting to watch.
They got a Non Conference game Weds night you need to check it out.- -Huge series coming on the horizon in three weeks K /State coming in for a weekend series. K/State is leading the conference right now I think they are 5 - -1 and our boys are 6- - 3 right now.-- You really need to check them out.
-
The KState series and the West Virginia series at the end of the year will be very important for them.
-
Last time in the college world series I think was the 90’s? One great year we made a FF, Bowl game, and CWS, one of a few teams to do so. Probably 93 since that was a FF year.
-
@wissox ya your probably right I can’t remember for sure what year that was. I remember it, but I can’t remember the year. I think we will at least get into the regionals -then just play hard and hope for the best after that. I think these guys are a group that will battle to the last pitch-- -they fall behind, they have come right back- They got me excited, great group of kids
They play tonight at Six on ESPN Plus
-
Well the guys just showed how tough and have that never say die approach.- - coming from behind multiple times last night to win – 10- - - 9.- - Won their EIGHT straight and are now - -26-- -6 on the year and 8 – 3 in league a half game behind KSU,
KU hit Three more Home runs just smashing the ball - -Leading the league in home runs and leading the league in walks, Sixth in the Nation in Home runs & Sixth in the Nation in walks.
Even the announcers not KU announcers actually believe these guys were UCF announces , talking about how dangerous KU was one through nine in the batting order. How KU hitters just don’t go after bad pitch’s - -how they work deep in the count , making pitchers work. How good they are defensively -31st in the Nation- -Go for the sweep this afternoon at 1:00 'm telling you , you need to check these guys out
-
KU completes the Sweep of UCF- – winning- -13- - -4 . - -9-3 in the league , - -two more home runs today, think they said that a stat is when KU hits two home runs or more in a game this Season they are now like 25-- - 3.-- Thats crazy.-- -Nebraska up next
-
Read where the guys have now hit 73 home runs two away from the - School record. - -Their 27-- -6 record is the best in School History , ranked 23r but probably going up and will be ranked by the other recruiting services. Plus we are now FIRST in the League with our 9 -3 record,
A couple of really tough series coming up. We have TCU @ TCU for three and then not this weekend but the next we have KSU at Hoglund for a HUGE , HUGE three games series. Hope fans show
-
Yeah, the TCU series suddenly became more relevant. TCU is just one game back from KU in the league standings. They have been a solid team lately as well, did some damage in the postseason last few years if I recall. Will be a good test.
-
@RockkChalkk For sure I have faith though this team 1 - 9 hard finding a weakness
-
Some pertty good nuggets about our boys on the diamond this Season , pretty special and have accomplished a lot of new.
KU is now ranked # 19 in the Nation by Baseball America - --# 22 by D-1 baseball USA Today & NCWBA.
In 135 years of baseball for us our - - -27- - – 6 record is the best record through the first 33 games in School History & – -9- -3 in conference play is the best start in Big twelve history.
Some other interesting nuggets include :KU leads the Big 12 in walks & and 3 rd in the Nation - – - KU has hit 73 home runs so far three away from setting a School record in a Season - - -KU is tied for 6th in the Nation in hits – -- KU is tied for 7th in the Nation in Runs Scored- ---- 8th in the Nation in Slugging percentage-- - 11th in the Nation for Runs scored per game - – & 15th in the Nation in on Base percentage- - -& they are ranked 31at in the Nation on fielding- - they are racking up some pretty impressive things guys - -you need to check them out
They play Nebraska for a single game tonight before a Huge series this weekend with TCU. KU is in first place in the Big Twelve I think they said for the first time since like 2009 ?- -They play Nebraska tonight at 6:00 on ESPN Plus-- give them a look – ROCK CHALK
-
Mercy the boys hittin some bad timing. --Got clobbered last night `4— -1 and today excellent pitching but they can’t give him any run support. -Bases loaded- -no outs and they hit two little nubbers that don’t travel 10 feet and strike out, ////// Could very well turn the game KU up 1-0 but golden opportunity and nothing.
-
Well the guys finally broke their losing four game skid.- — Won their game against Wichita State Tuesday Night-- --18— -12 and are now 28-10 on the Season, probably lost their chance at hosting a Regional but still in very good shape to make playoffs. Really rough weekend last weekend getting swept by TCU
Huge Three game series at Home against KSU this weekend at home.-- All three days are sell outs so be a sweet crowd hope we can kick some butt.- - let’s do this guys
