'I feel terrible for these guys' Michael Earley speaks after Texas A&M's loss to Missouri
Texas A&M baseball entered the weekend as heavy favorites against Missouri, a team that had yet to win a conference game in the SEC this season. However, the Aggies suffered a shocking series sweep, falling to the Tigers in three straight games.
Not only did Texas A&M lose the series, but they were swept by a team with the worst ERA in the SEC. The Aggies' offense struggled significantly, producing one of their worst hitting performances in months.
Head coach Michael Earley addressed the team's struggles after the loss, acknowledging the lack of offensive rhythm. He emphasized that the Aggies were chasing too many pitches, disrupting their ability to generate scoring opportunities.
"When we struck the ball, we didn't strike it well enough, and we didn't have any hits. I think we had two hits, and one of them was a home run. So yeah, they threw strikes, and we didn't do anything with it."
Texas A&M's Senior Day was meant to be a celebration, but after a tough series loss to Missouri, it was bittersweet. Coach Michael Earley acknowledged the disappointment, especially given how hard the team fought to get back into postseason contention. They've battled through adversity and never backed down, and that determination isn't fading now.
"I feel terrible for these guys, man. They put everything into this, and it's tough. It's tough, and I feel awful for them, but we're going to rebound. We're going to regroup and we're going to finish this thing strong, however it may be, but we're not going to quit."
Below is the full press conference after Game 3 of the Missouri series.

Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw calls out 'bush league' Cardinals for playing home-run video before game
The St. Louis Cardinals, it seems, got under Clayton Kershaw's skin Sunday afternoon. Kershaw led the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-3 win on Sunday in Missouri. He had seven strikeouts and didn't give up a run in five innings on the mound. It marked the 37-year-old's first seven-strikeout game since 2023. Advertisement But before the contest at Busch Stadium, the Cardinals' video team opted to play a video from more than a decade ago that featured Kershaw. The Cardinals showed Matt Adams hitting a go-ahead three-run homer off Kershaw in Game 4 of the National League Division Series in 2014. That helped lead the Cardinals to a 3-2 win that day and eliminated the Dodgers from the postseason. Kershaw took notice of the video stunt, and he wasn't happy. 'It's a little bush league, but I don't expect anything less from these guys,' Kershaw said, via The Los Angeles Times. 'So it's no worries. No problem.' Fair or not, Kershaw certainly came out on top Sunday. The win marked just the fifth start for Kershaw this year. He missed the first two months of the season while recovering from knee and toe injuries, and he didn't make his debut until May 17. The three-time Cy Young award winner holds a 4.35 ERA with 15 strikeouts over his five starts this season. Advertisement The win for the Dodgers allowed them to avoid the series sweep with the Cardinals, who won the first two games. The Dodgers now sit at 39-27 heading into a three-game series with the San Diego Padres starting on Monday night. 'The results haven't always been there, but I feel like there's been a little bit of progress in each [start],' Kershaw said, via The Times. 'Probably the biggest thing, I had a little bit better command.
