  1. I actually like that they pushed him today probably out of his comfort zone. You have to ride your horses in conference play and we are going to need him to save our ass a time or two if we want to accomplish our goals.
  2. It’s college baseball so I expect some stupidity but sometimes the red light needs to be put on to prevent players from doing dumb stuff.
  3. This dude is throwing 86 MPH fastballs
  4. Do they try to get 3 innings out of Dre? Burns time?
  5. That probably needs to be it for Ruger in this one.
  6. These stupid outs on the bases have to stop
  7. Harrison does not have it today.
  8. No need to steal when this dude is handing out free bases. Come on.
  9. Winfield starts every count down 0-2
  10. They really want to get Winfield going. It isn’t applicable today against a righty starter but I’m starting to wonder about Rodriguez against lefties. He is like 2 for 16 against them this season. Maybe he should still be in the lineup regardless but I’m probably not batting him cleanup.
  11. They used to have a couple of legitimate arms back when they were going to Omaha semi-regularly but no HS or portal arm wants to play there anymore with how hitter friendly it is and their pitching coach is apparently a joke. Tadlock won’t get rid of him because he’s too loyal.
  12. Seeing Texas Tech this bad (got smacked by Grand Canyon last night) is both shocking and hilarious. They’ve been on the steady decline for about 4 years now. Good thing they gave Tadlock a lifetime contract.
  13. Had a setback in his recovery from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. Probably iffy that he throws in games this year.
  14. I was hoping Santa Clara would burn Bayles when the game was close. He has already been stretched out to like 80 pitches so I’m assuming they will burn him early tomorrow or Sunday if need be.
  15. Schuessler has been really damn good at first base. Thomas was so good over there last year I expected a drop off but it hasn’t come yet.
  16. His approach is much improved. On pace for like 3x the number of walks he had last year.
  17. How dare you forget Longhorn Legend Cole Bott
  18. The line between good and good enough to win a title is razor thin, not mention it also requires some plain old good luck and lucky bounces. Pierce’s results at Texas would get him a statue at 98% of schools. But it was correctly identified that the trajectory wasn’t right and the move was made before there was a total collapse. As is the case in most sports, knowing who to hire and retaining them on your staff is half the battle. Pierce couldn’t handle that part. Schloss has proven he can at like 3 different stops and does well at surrounding himself with good cops so he can be the bad cop when needed. Meanwhile, Michael Early is a good cop surrounded by a bunch of good cops and that’s one of the reasons why A&M will have a new coach probably within 2 years.
  19. That decision isn't being based on getting in the tournament or not. We fired Pierce after 3 of 4 years of a super regional or better. Herman was fired after going 7-3 and winning a bowl game. Yes, if we make the tournament and then miraculously go to the Sweet 16, maybe he isn't fired, but this stuff always works itself out in the end.
  20. Maybe that’s why Schloss scheduled this series
  21. Sounds right. All the crappy Shaka years run together.
  22. Wasn’t it 2020 when we beat OU on the last second shot from Coleman to keep our tournament hopes alive and laid the biggest egg of all time a few days later against a crappy OSU team at home in a game that would have likely clinched a tournament berth?
  23. I think he finally removed them from his bracket, but Lunardi had 4-12 Oklahoma in the field has recently as a few days ago so I can’t imagine there are many bubble teams supporting resumes that much better than us.
  24. Santa Clara is going to be a solid test this weekend. They have a couple of really good arms, including one guy who has 28 strikeouts in 14 innings so far out of the bullpen.
