A new college baseball season is upon us, and there are a couple peso board teams that look poised to have a nice year.
TCU had a rough second week but are still one of the better teams in the nation. They are still Top 10 in most polls and will make a pretty solid run at a national seed.
A&M has gotten off to a nice start with some flat out dominate performances from the starting pitchers. The bats have been a little quiet, but hopefully the hitting will start to improve. Bullpen has also been solid. If the bats can wake up around conference time the Ags might finally challenge tu for the regular season conference title.
tu is off to a slow start but that has kind of been their mo the last few years. We shall see if Augie can get them back on track in the next few weeks. They will fighting for a national seed so if things don't turn around quickly they could be in trouble.
Rice has been the surprise disappointment so far, dropping some early games that could come back to haunt them around seeding time. It will be interesting to see if the bounce back.
Side note: This year the NCAA has gone to a new composite bat rather than aluminum that better imitate wood bats. While I think they will improve the game and give college pitchers a fighting chance, I am going to miss the "PING" that college baseball has become known for.
