This was supposed to be an obituary for TCU Baseball, a last rites of sort for a program that had made four straight College World Series, sent countless players to the pros, and become not just an annual contender, but expectation, in college baseball. But years of replacing talented players seemed to have finally caught up with the Frogs, as they scuffled to a sub .500 conference record and seemingly out of the postseason conversation with the #4 ranked Red Raiders coming to town.
