Aggie fans and media react to Texas A&M's 4-1 series loss to Missouri on Saturday
Texas A&M (27-21, 10-16 SEC) is likely out of contention for the NCAA Tournament after dropping this weekend's home series vs. the last-place Missouri Tigers, who, after coming back to win Game 1 9-6 on Friday night, secured a dominant 4-1 victory for the program's first series win of the season, and first in College Station since 2006.
Entering the weekend, Texas A&M's postseason hopes were hanging on by a thread, needing at least three to four SEC wins to secure a spot in the regional round, but even if the Aggies win on Sunday, they'll likely need to sweep Georgia on the road, which is highly unlikely. However, if that happens, does this team still deserve to be in the NCAA Tournament? This all remains to be seen, but things do not look good right now.
Mustering just two hits on the day, the Aggies' offense, outside of four home runs produced six runs on Friday night, has been non-existent, and, outside of Caden Sorrell's game-winning three-run home run against LSU last weekend, Texas A&M's would have lost that series as well.
The fact that the offense heavily relies on the long ball to score runs is not sustainable, and will not produce another series win if the Aggies can't hit at an efficient rate, and it is much too late to change things up. As they say, when someone shows you who they are, believe them.
After the game, Aggie fans and media members responding to the series loss:
This narrative will be popular this week
An underrated part of the Aggies' poor play
It's actually pretty similar if we're being honest
The truth really does hurt
I'm guessing the comments are positive
This is likely the scenario that needs to happen
Progress?
I don't believe this will be the case
This is what happens when you lose to a team that was 0-24 in SEC play before this weekend
Right on point
It truly is an absolute failure in every facet of the word
Billy Liucci's take
Yes, yes they do

Former Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney could land at Florida
Former Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney could land at Florida Former star Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney may soon have a new home. Per Baseball America's Jacob Rudner, Florida is in the mix for the former Fighting Irish backstop, who hit .348 with 17 home runs and 53 RBIs as a sophomore with the Fighting Irish. He is one of the more intriguing players currently in the transfer portal. This past season, the Gators used Luke Heyman and Brody Donay behind the plate. An injury to Heyman near the end of the year forced Donay to become the full-time catcher the rest of the way, but his defense was an issue. Could the Gators shift him to first base or designated hitter? UF did bring in JUCO catcher AJ Malzone, but landing Tinney would be a real coup. It helps the cause that the Gators landed former ND pitcher Ricky Reeth, whose pitches were caught by Tinney in South Bend this past season. Losing Tinney was a tough blow for the Irish. He was the team's best player and a centerpiece of Shawn Stiffler's rebuild in South Bend.
