  1. If it were to happen....prior to being named the head coach there, he was the recruiting coordinator and pitching coach at TCU during the last 4 years (4 straight CWS and one of the best staffs in college baseball) of Del Conte's tenure at TCU... Kirk Saarloos
  2. He was talking with a friend of mine during warmups prior to the game. Disc injury to his thumb. Can hit but no catching for 4 weeks.
  3. Been pretty much frat boys the last two Tuesdays. And last week they were getting their spots at 5 o'clock when it first opened. No doubt more of the same tonight.
  4. I knew (rightfully) that this would come up but the point still stands as far as his record and what he has done here already. AND don't get me wrong, I am still not the biggest fan of DP either. And Perrin DEFINITELY screwed the pooch with the announcing of , leaks, and whole mess of doing it while other teams and their COACHES ( Schloss, O'Sull) were trying to prepare for the potential of a NC. Hindsight is 20/20 but the whole process should of been taken care of when Omaha was over. All Perrin accomplished was getting other schools having to give their coaches a raise and extensions on their contracts. This season is far from over and DP has pulled off some pretty crazy shit late in previous seasons. While we had some returners and lots of young but unproven talent, who here really expected a trip to Omaha last yr ? That was gravy. Can he do it again?... Sorry, but I hope so. If not for Covid plandemic BS, he could maybe have had another trip to Omaha with most likely his best pitching staff when the 20 season was cancelled....14-3 with that team and then there is the fluke of last yr playing on a field with high school lights. We are winning that game without that and that is another trip to UT Omaha campus. Easy to say, instead of 3 trips to Omaha, he could have 5 already. But that's fucking baseball. Especially college baseball. 🤘
  5. While what he has done decision wise at times can definitely have me scratching my head.....he has come in here and given us 3 Conference Championships in 6 years with 3 trips to Omaha. Not exactly Gus' #'s, but what would our fan base be doing if he had done this in his first 5 seasons here? Overall Conf Conf Rank CWS ? 29-22 12-15 7th Nope 23-32-1 11-18 8th Nope ( * losing season) 36-26 17-13 6th NCAA Regional (improving but NO CWS) 46-21 19-10 4th YES! CWS (*0-2) 36-26 19-11 3rd Nope (wah wah)
  6. Hypothetically, he's not getting fired. Even if he was, these two aren't coming here. Those names were dropped last time we were hiring. While they were BOTH in the mix to get to the CWS (which they did) and that IS NOT the way to do do things. Result of that for them and a few others, was big RAISES. Seriously?? DO NOT do this... last thing we need right NOW is some idiot here asking this question to d1baseball. For an aggy ...
  7. No. Pierce had just been hired and this was his first yr here. This was just before NIL and all the transfer portal BS. Schloss played him only enough to burn his eligibility, that's it (can't remember if it was one yr or two). I've never told my friend, but I have no doubt he was signed by Schloss to keep him from coming here and playing. Don't want to say too much more (doxxing aholes) but he would have played and contributed for sure here with what happened to us that season. To be able to play right away, and knowing his bridge was burned here, he made a phone call to a smaller (D2 with a good program and history) school's Coach that knew him (and had also offered when he was in HS) if something might still be available. The Coach told him immediately the offer still stood so he went there and started for 2 yrs. Didn't get drafted but I know he did play some Independent league ball in Iowa and Idaho (?) for a season or two. He's a hitting coach at a D3 (also with a good baseball rep) now.
  8. THIS ^^^ If you put in and accomplish the work during the season, there is NO reason to be in the post season conference tourney. You are playing games and using people up when you should be RESTING. Even Pat Combs (color guy today) mentioned this during today's game when talking about the SEC tourney and most likely going to a 2 game loss and then out format with the expansion. He talked about playing extra games (for some needlessly) instead of resting up for regionals and supers.
  9. Plus he's an asshole. Just think back to his dugout interview (live) last yr and his comments about LBJ during the aggy game. Fuck him. My best friend from high school, his son was offered and played for him... Pierce (just hired) also offered but he landed up going there. Schloss pretty much fucked him over for two years, so he turned in his scholarship and transferred.
  10. Right. No starter made it through 5 innings to qualify for win... (Cody got close today but only 4 2/3) Maybe question the NEW pitching coach decision...? TERRIBLE weekend....gut punches 3 different ways. 3 innings and 1 1/3 don't cut it for for your Friday and Saturday guys...
  11. But the pitching (relief) decides to 💩 the bed today...🤬
  12. FUCK....ballgame. What a shitty fucking performance. ALL WEEKEND
  13. So that's what happens when you throw strikes and get ahead in the count... 2 quick outs 🤬
  14. No outs, 2 on and tying run to the plate...
