'Tomorrow's a new day ' Texas A&M RHP Brad Rudis speaks after Game 2 loss to Missouri
When Texas A&M needed their batters to step up the most, they failed. There is enough blame to go around, and with how good they have been playing over the last month and a half, a bad series was in the cards. Unfortunately for the Aggies they have no room for error.
Coming into the series, A&M needed to win at least two games to go into the final week of regular season play with a solid chance to make the NCAA tournament. However, the weekend turned into a disaster as they dropped both games to a struggling Missouri team with the worst pitching ERA in the conference.
The Aggie pitching staff did well enough in game two, allowing A&M a chance to get back into the game, but it never materialized. Senior Day was lost amid this embarrassing loss, where several Aggies were honored, including Brad Rudis. He spoke after the game and what it meant to him, being that it's probably the last time he will throw a collegiate pitch at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
"I mean, really special day for me and my family, I probably the last outing I'll have here as an Aggie, so it was a really special day, obviously, the game wasn't what we wanted, but tomorrow's a new day."
The series loss is a major blow to their postseason aspirations, but they do not have any time to dwell on the recent past and have to get on track for the remaining four games. A short memory is paramount moving forward in the last week of the regular season.
"We have a lot of experienced guys, I think we know what it takes to win, we know what it takes to get to Ohama and obviously that's the end goal but right now we just have to take it one game at a time."
Below is the full press conference after Game 2 of the Missouri series.

Pat McAfee on Aaron Rodgers signing: 'Steelers are dancing in the playoffs yet again'
Pat McAfee on Aaron Rodgers signing: 'Steelers are dancing in the playoffs yet again' Pat McAfee is a man of many hats — but as a fellow Yinzer and close friend of Aaron Rodgers — he can barely contain his excitement for the 2025 season. On the latest episode of The Pat McAfee Show, the former Colts punter and Pennsylvania native was in full support of the Rodgers-led Steelers: "We're a team that can contend. We were above .500 — absolute crap on the offensive side of the ball. If Aaron [Rodgers] can come in here, matriculate the ball down the field and eat up some clock — make smart choices and not have any turnovers — the Pittsburgh Steelers are dancing in the playoffs yet again," McAfee stated with confidence. "And once they get into the playoffs, who knows? Especially with how good their defense is." If McAfee's charismatic Steelers 2025 sales pitch can translate into reality, it's safe to say the NFL world will have no choice but to give Rodgers the respect he deserves.

Here is how you can watch Indiana Fever vs Atlanta Dream today: Time, TV channel, streaming
Here is how you can watch Indiana Fever vs Atlanta Dream today: Time, TV channel, streaming Following Saturday's smothering defensive effort in a 79-52 blowout win against the Chicago Sky from the United Center in Chicago, Ill., the Indiana Fever (4-4) return to action tonight as they travel to the Gateway Center in College Park, Ga., for a WNBA Commissioner's Cup matchup vs. the Atlanta Dream (5-3). While the Fever were shorthanded on Saturday without the abilities of injured guards Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham and head coach Stephanie White's absence (personal reasons), Indiana stifled the Chicago offense by limiting the Sky to just 18-for-56 from the floor and 3-for-15 from 3-point territory. While there was some hope that Clark could return to action for tonight's game against the Dream, given her promising improvements in recent limited practices, head coach Stephanie White says the former Hawkeye will still remain sidelined alongside guard Sophie Cunningham. Watch Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream The decision to keep both guards out of Tuesday's action was made a bit easier, considering the Fever's next game is not until Saturday, June 14, when they welcome the New York Liberty to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tonight's game is the third of four meetings between the Fever and Dream this season. The two split the first two contests on May 20 and May 22. As tipoff approaches, here's how fans can watch the Fever take on the Dream. What channel is the Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream game on today?
