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
