The TCU baseball team has two points of emphasis before Big 12 play starts in two weeks.
First, the Frogs would like to solidify their rotation that now includes right-hander Jake Eissler, who has been terrific in relief work. Secondly, the defense has to improve. The Frogs have given up 14 unearned runs and they have committed 10 errors in the first 11 games this season.
TCU (7-4) will look to make strides in those areas on its California trip. The Frogs start a three-game series at Long Beach State (1-10) tonight, and then have a matchup at San Diego on Tuesday.
