It's openin' day, y'all! I'm not going to pretend I know much about TCU. I know they're ranked #15 and lost some pitching from last year. I know they're a good team.
More than anything, this series is a chance for us to immediately see our young, young team against a high quality opponent. The only outcome that would shock me is if we swept them. I could see us taking the series, them taking the series, or them sweeping us, but with so many unknowns, I can't imagine a scenario where we take all three.
After the jump, find the lineup, game details, and a few videos to get you excited.
Starting Pitching
6:30 CT Fri: OM SO RHP Bobby Wahl vs. TCU RHP Andrew Mitchell (2.84 ERA in 2011)
6:30 CT Sat: Canceled
1:00 CT Sun: Either OM SR RHP RJ Hively vs. TCU RHP Stefan Crichton (1.98 ERA in 2011) or
OM SO RHP Mike Mayers vs. TCU LHP Brandon Finnegan (Newcomer)
Starting Defense
C Will Allen (.227 BA, 4 HR in 2011)
1B SO Preston Overbey (.233 BA, 3 HR in 2011)
2B JR Alex Yarbrough (.350 BA, 7 HR in 2011)
SS SR Blake Newalu (.292 BA, 1 HR in 2011)
3B JR Andrew Mistone (Newcomer)
LF JR Tanner Mathis (.336 BA in 2011)
CF FR Auston Bousfield (Newcomer)
RF FR Will Jamison (Newcomer)
DH SR Matt Snyder (.301 BA, 9 HR in 2011)
The starting lineup hasn't been released, but One Man To Beat predicted it would be:
1. Mathis
2. Newalu
3. Yarbrough
4. Snyder
5. Overbey
6. Allen
7. Mistone
8. Bousfield
9. Jamison
Now onto the videos.
And my personal favorite walk-out music ever...

Anyone in the DFW that can confirm/deny the weather conditions?

Nah, looks like there might be a delay or two around 8:30pm (assuming we're not done by then) but it's just a chance.
Looks pretty clear until later tonight.
Thanks

I think I read somewhere that Rebelvision was free on opening weekend?
Anyone know if there’s any truth to that?? I hope so.
But, seriously. I judge universities based on the accomplishments of their fictional alumni. We have Bones McCoy. TCU has “Professor” Roy Hinkley – he who could not build a worthy sea-craft or radio device to save stranded ship-mates on Gilligan’s Island. In mental acumen, physical prowess, and “not creepy last name,” Dr. McCoy outpaces “Professor” Hinkley each and every day, with or without 23rd century technology.

Ahhhh
Today is a good day. Great day if we win. I’ll be fairly happy if we take one game from them this weekend and damn impressed with two.

State was #18
Or so when we played at Tad Pad. But to hell with basketball it’s baseball season from here out.

Nice way to start the season.
A little offense. Solid pitching. Impressive outings by several newcomers. And a W over #15 on the road.
I think we'll be lucky to play tomorrow. Rain expected. Lots of it.
Interested to see what Hively can do, though. I think he’s a big question mark in our rotation.
Yeah, Hively is the one I'm worried about.
We’ll see…

Ok...
I guess I was too drunk to have any clarity in my comment. ‘twas not targeted at anyone in particular. It was only an attempt to poke fun at state and their “championship” claims by suggesting that rain had pushed it back a little while. And oxpatch, since when did RCR decide state’s championships weren’t joke-worthy?

I think he was referring to the MooU.
We’re cleverer than that here.

Don't do that.
Let State fans be the rubes.
are you mistaking me for a state fan?
Because thats rather offensive.

Tonight's game is cancelled.
Tomorrow will have one nine inning game starting at 1:00 PM.

Win win
at least now we can do no worse than a 1 game all split. on the road to start a season against a ranked opponent that’s not bad. #Optimism.

Hively better buckle down.
I don’t put all of the first inning on him, but he needs to buckle down.

2-0 TCU, early.
We’re getting guys on base, but can’t put hits together. Hively looking iffy at best, so far.
RBI for Yarbrough makes it 3-1, TCU
Runners at the corners, for the Rebs, but 2 outs on the board. Top 5.
Keep these coming please

Now tied at 3. Big 2 out rally.
3 straight RBI basehits, the most recent from Mathis. Still 2 guys on with 2 out.

Mike Mayers comes in for the Rebs in the 6th.
At least we’ll get to see all 3 starters this weekend.
SHIT.
2 easy outs for Mayers, then walk, walk, 2 run double off the wall for TCU.
5-3 toads. 2 outs bottom 6.
I've been an inning off.
It is now the top of the 6th, not the 7th. Hively pitched 4. Mayers has pitched 1.
Damn.
Rivera just robbed Anderson of a home run. Advantage for TCU playing in their park. If he didn’t know where the wall was, he barrels it and loses the ball over the wall
Bottom 8 now.
How deep did Tanner hit that one to center? I can’t tell by gametracker

Too many missed chances offensively, too many miscues on defense
We did not play bad tho, just not quite good enough today, that’s baseball I suppose…
Guess we’ll have to see how we improve as the weather warms up. Splitting with a consensus top 15 on the road ain’t too bad of a start tho.

For an opening road weekend vs a top 15 team
I think we’re in a pretty good spot. Wahl looked pretty good. Mayers looked good outside of 3 batters. I’d like to see him moved to Saturday and Hively on Sunday. We’re good and aggressive at the plate. I mean, beat a freshman All-American Friday and gave another one a no decision today. I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far. This is a Hoover team if they stay healthy. Looking around the conference, I know it was Cal State-Fullerton, but we found out Florida is beatable, State and Wazzu has been a toss-up, and Bama got swept by a mid-to-upper level Sun Belt team in Tuscaloosa.
Anyone in Oxford Tuesday, hope to see you out at the ballyard
Agree, but this team should be considerably more than a Hoover team.
10 teams will go to Hoover this year. If we can find some pitching, we should host a regional.
Very valid point
I forgot the 10 teams to Hoover this year. But after last year’s debacle that I sat through a majority of the games at O-U Stadium, I’m just wanting to take it one postseason step at a time. This could be another “Oxford Regional” team if we stay healthy
I'll be in the outfield Tuesday
Gonna try to make the majority of the home games this season
