    Really?  You think it makes sense to make sure you get tossed for 3 games?

    I get the "we're better off w/o him in the dugout" cynicism, but that's not exactly the mindset of a coach.

    He NEEDED to get in their face over that BS and he did. Fired up the crowd and the team. GB was not losing that game after that. And pretty sure he was leaving the field when the Ahole second base ump held up his two fingers. 

    It's not like he has been banned from the trip regarding the next two games. He'll still be involved, just not as visible.

    Plus, Steve Rod.. has had plenty of experience in coaching D1 programs. I think he can manage the next two games.

    I think it was that no one called it immediately on the field. Stevie Wonder could have seen it hit him, but it not being called on the field, then 3 min goes by because they fucked up, then decide yes it was touched, then no replay to confirm was the jumping off point. It wasn’t that everyone knows it was touched, it was the piss poor way it was handled. 

    exactly GIF

    They NEVER made a call on the field , THEN had a conference on the mound AFTER Saarloss complained. NONE, nor at least dumbass Demond (umpire on 1st) who's job it is to watch the runner, didn't see it. They blew it and it was right for Pierce to complain and then ask to have them review it. Which they did not cuz there was a never and official call on the play.

    My seats are right past first base and we saw that they most likely missed the call ( the ball seemd to change slight direction after going by Powell) . The bitching was the way that this crew handled it. And that was the 3rd missed call by just the first base ump that game, never mind this one, or others. That crew sucked ALL weekend.

    P needs to fire himself as the pitching coach.... 

     

    we have gone on stupider runs before, 2018 springs to mind.

     

    Pierce is too arrogant to fire himself.

    Taking over the pitching position himself after last year is a huge tell of how arrogant he actually is. No one else to blame but him for this abysmal pitching staff. I was willing to give him a break at the beginning of the season for his 3x CWS appearances, but after witnessing Tuesday night in person, Fuck him and his arrogance. 

    As for 2018, Kody put that team on his back. He's gone and we don't have anyone here now that is going to do what he was capable of.  

    Hate to say it but we are most likely 2 and Q in a regional. Hopefully it isn't at fucking aggy (but most likely it will be).

    That's actually pathetic for both schools. 

    I want to somehow like/rep this 👆 but there isn't really anything appropriate. (Rage?)

    I've been going to games since '74 (Clark Field & BGH). After living out of state for 25 years, I've been a season ticket holder for the last 8.

    In all those years,  I NEVER witnessed or thought I would see TEXAS BASEBALL like I saw last night. 

    I left before we came to bat in the bottom of the 4th.... 4TH !! 🤬

    Is there really any debate? 12th at Augusta is the single greatest par 3 on the planet, right? 17 at Sawgrass can be a train wreck, but it’s  gimmicky. 12th at Augusta is just a great golf hole.

    Both are incredible drama though on Sunday.

    Hopes crushed and dreams made...
