Baseball in Lubbock

It's funny.  Over the last few months, I have had many tech fans talking of how Tech is definitely going to make a run at a College WS championship.  Today, many of those people, are talking of how bad their baseball team is.  I can only assume that yesterdays 22-6 loss to the Longhorns has changed their minds.  It's just amazing to me how many "fair weather" fans there are here in Lubbock.

I will be attending Saturday's game here in Lubbock, and I hope to see another big win.  This will be my first opportunity...ever...to see Texas Baseball in action.  The other 3 times I bought tickets, it has been rained out.   And wouldn't you know it, there is a good chance for thunderstorms tomorrow.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed,

I keep hearing about the wind factor in lubbock..

how much of a role did it play yesterday?

Don't know about yesterday

But being from the area, and having played ball in that weather more times than I can remember, I imagine it played a role.  Mostly, it affects the pitching more than anything, and with close to 30 runs being scored, I'd venture that it played a significant role.  Tech should be used to it though.

Is there

something wrong(physically) with Kyle Russell?  I mean, I know he's been more than a little off at the plate so far, but I always thought the more I stuggled, the more reps I need against live pitching.  Anyone???

I'm like bambi's mom, I take care of you guys!

no clue

I just think he is pressing too hard to be the player he was last season.

Yeah

Sounds like he's pressing too hard, instead of letting the game come to him.

Rumor

Allegedly he has a strained muscle in his neck that he got last week, so that's why he's not playing this weekend. I'd say he's pressing too but he's drawing an awful lot of walks for somebody that's trying too hard.

that's what the radio guys are saying

He has a strained muscle and that's officially why he's been out the last couple of games.
