    He’s only pitched 3 games in AAA so his era is pretty meaningless.

    This would be true, if we didn't also have the other previous 7 years of his development from top 5 prospect to minor league JAG.  Hence the joke about expecting him to magically be due, somehow.

    Look, I hope he makes me eat my words.  Maybe he's just a very late bloomer.  But there's no way to describe calling this guy up in April as anything other than a flashing red light pointing to how completely fucked this staff is right now.

  2. Bringing up Whitley and his 12.00 ERA is like betting it all on red because it was black the previous 8 turns.

    It's like 99.925% to hit red next, obv.  It's science.  Analytics, if you will.  Whitley's due for some shut-down innings, and we wouldn't want to waste them in the Minors, see?

    Good to see that TexAgs is full of Christians that care about adultery, lying, etc.

    An aggy does not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do.  Unless it's football recruiting.  Or lying about football national championships.  Or cheating on wives.  Or lying about cheating on wives.  Or lying about how the Corps of Cadets got those red asses.  Or, you know what, there are some exceptions, okay?  An aggy uses his best judgment, and if he finds hisself on a morally slippery slope, he can just lie his way out of it.  The important thing to remember is that aggy liberated France, okay?  Get off our red asses.

    One of the things I have heard is that Pierce is a raging dick to play for/work with. That shit may work if you are winning and people can go "It is worth dealing with asshole HC because I am getting better/team is winning etc". Once you start losing the wheels quickly come off. Love reading he had a post game meeting last night. The Tuesday night loss to fucking Corpus Christi wasn't cause for alarm? Getting beat by BYU just passed him by but the TX State loss was the bridge too far for Pierce?? WTF?
    CDC can't fall for the sunk cost fallacy with DP. DP is not the coach to head into the SEC with. Fire his ass and bring in someone that can energize the team and fan base. If you think this season has been shitty, ride this clown car into the SEC next year and just watch Texas fall to all time lows in terms of series wins/execution.
    Fire this shitty HC, It has been 8 years and team is regressing and getting worse as season progresses. Compare to Softball which is ascending, women's BBall same. It is a coaching problem.

    So we got Tom Herman as a baseball coach.

    At this point I think we'd be better off with the actual Tom Herman as our baseball coach.

    It was 50-45 Max and he risked it all to bang

    I thought Justin won Rd 4, so 49-46 imo, but your main point still stands.  Max had no reason to take that risk against a guy who throws bombs like Justin, and he did it because he's a warrior and a showman.  Amazing.

    Dubon playe 1 or 2 games at 1B last year.   That minor league 1B prospect with high K% but still preferable over Buttons.  

    Why not just play Dubon/Minor leaguer at 1B?

    Because when you make a gazillion dollar mistake, it's important not to admit it and try to do something better, because then people might realize you made a mistake and say stuff, see?

  7. Yeah, the fighting equivalent of dropping the football at the 2-yard line on your way in.

    Be a professional.  That stuff drives me crazy.

    Also, Moicano is Brazilian Jersey Shore guy in this interview.
