  1. I am no big cigar, nor do I claim to know any of them.  I am not going to throw the player or his family under the bus either, so sorry to get you hard.  

    Before today, I was in the camp of "our pitching is trash, the team has done well to overcome that.  We won't make it out of this regional, but Pierce has earned a few more years of buffer before we decide to fire him."

    But the details the guy went into leads me to conclude that Pierce had already checked out this season.  And maybe with his lengthy career, he can quickly diagnose that this team was never going to amount to much, and is safeguarding his sanity.  But to be mailing in the coaching / teaching aspects of his responsibility, leaving the trashy pitching staff out to dry, and going back on individual committments to players (without real explanation)...that's high school level shit.

  2. Well, after having a nice conversation with one of my buddies who is a parent of a current player, put me in the camp of getting rid of Pierce.  Although I don't think it will happen soon enough, given his current W/L record.

    But the players have no team chemistry/camaraderie, Pierce does not coach the pitchers at all, etc. etc.  The son's quote was "this was the most dysfunctional team I have ever been on in my life."

    I agree that he seems to have worn out his welcome.  But with that record, he ain't getting fired this year.  I hope I'm wrong, but not holding my breath.

    don't hate.

    NCAA football was the only reason I bought a PS1.  And then learned how to solder a mod chip to the motherboard, so I could then burn a copy of the game after renting it from Blockbuster.

    That's the genius of David Pierce.  Make sure we do not get a number 1 seed to avoid the possibility of playing a Q4 team in the tourney.

    They're now predicting we go to the College Station regional....ugh.
