I haven't felt much impetus to post lately as the normally strong spring push from the UT Arlington Athletic Department hasn't really materialized. However, I did want to mention a few things, starting with the baseball team.
First, they are putting up one of the worst performances as far as a win/loss in a generation. As of April 29, their winning percentage sits at .293. That would be a decent batting average, but sits as the second worse in the conference, ahead of Arkansas State, who conveniently comes to Clay Gould Ballpark this weekend. The last time UTA finished a season with a sub .300 winning percentage was 1977. The Mavericks sit at .222 in conference play, the worst of the 12 Sun Belt Conference teams. That could change depending on the Red Wolf series.
There's not much light at the end of the tunnel. UTA goes to College Station next week where Texas A&M is 26-14, then they go to Lafayette, where Louisiana is 23-16, 12-6, then a home series against Appalachian State (14-24, 5-13) and a road trip to Georgia Southern (28-13, 14-4).
There's two main issues with the team as I see it.
