Santa Clara @ Texas Weekend Series
Fair. We need a couple of Tech, OSU or Illinois to be good in conference play to help prop up those wins. Louisville and Ole Miss look to be quality wins.

Santa Clara @ Texas Weekend Series
Winning all 4 non-con series/weekends is a great start after what we saw last year. 0 or 1 midweek slip ups and 16 SEC wins and this team should be hosting.

Strike 3 wasn’t even close

Santa Clara @ Texas Weekend Series
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.

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.

This dude is throwing 86 MPH fastballs

Do they try to get 3 innings out of Dre? Burns time?

That probably needs to be it for Ruger in this one.

These stupid outs on the bases have to stop

No need to steal when this dude is handing out free bases. Come on.

Winfield starts every count down 0-2

Santa Clara @ Texas Weekend Series
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.

Santa Clara @ Texas Weekend Series
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.

Santa Clara @ Texas Weekend Series
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.

Had a setback in his recovery from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. Probably iffy that he throws in games this year.

Santa Clara @ Texas Weekend Series
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.

Hell yeah, Max

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.

His approach is much improved. On pace for like 3x the number of walks he had last year.

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
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.

Texas (Tre Johnson) vs. MSST - 7 pm SECN
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.

Sounds right. All the crappy Shaka years run together.
