    This is an easy decision. Recruiting has been a disaster. The only reason our bats seem like good pickups is because we see it juxtaposed against the absolutely terrible talent on the mound.

    This is what I have seen this season. The pitching staffs’ of several of the teams we have played this year are as good or better than what we are trotting out on the field. Of course, how much of that is a result of our “pitching coach”?

    That’s not the expectation or the norm at Texas.

    Biggest issue with the offense is they just go into green light mode too often rather than making a pitcher earn the out

    This team, for the most part, sure likes to chase the high cheese. Which leads to strikeouts and a lot of pop ups.

    Both. When we pitch well we can’t hit. When we hit well we can’t pitch. Been the story of the entire season.

    That both seem to never click at the same time.

    Definitely seems to be the case.

    But, imo, the pitching seems to be down this year. Only one strong starter, no real closer, and an inconsistent bullpen that struggles to throw strikes at times.

    Hitting is inconsistent but decent overall. 
     

    Hopefully they can put them both together more this season.

    We lost to Washington because we couldn’t hit worth dick, lost to Baylor Friday night when a lefty throwing 86 from Lake Travis shoved it up our anus and scored 1 run tonight against A&M Corpus Christi. 

    For whatever bitching we do about the pitching we have a top 25 ERA in the country and most of our losses lately have been because we look like shit at the plate.

    So what’s been the bigger overall problem this year hitting or pitching?

    They have 4 runs on 5 hits. 3 of which came in the 2nd on a 3 run bomb off Selvig. 

    It’s just a bad night overall, but the point was our bullpen isn’t great. Tonight there's was better. It happens in baseball, but the pitching this year sucks.
