  1. Because I’m sure he would openly mention candidates by name in March for a job that isn’t even open
  2. He is a huge asshole based on the stories I’ve heard when he was at TCU. But he’s just another one on the list. Jay Johnson, Dave Van Horn, Tadlock are all known assholes so that’s why it’s a big whatever when people try to say Pierce is tough to play for and work for. Most good coaches are. They aren’t your friend. I also heard last year that Schlossnagle and his pitching coach (Yeskie) were barely even on speaking terms by the end of the season because how much he was micromanaging. He was secretly hoping Yeskie would go to LSU when that job opened up.
  3. Conference tournaments mean nothing. It’s a money grab so they can put the championship game on ESPN. The regular season champion is the conference champion. You play 30 games over the course of 2.5 months and the first place team is the champion. Augie was notorious for throwing no name guys with the hope they could get out there ASAP without burning real pitching. The committee doesn’t care about them outside of the auto bids from small conferences.
  4. Schlossnagle hates Texas. He will never coach here. And his team dogpiling on the Longhorn logo took the chances from .001% to .000%. There are still people who won’t ever forgive that. Also, A&M’s NIL in baseball is strong.
  5. Go look at the last 5 years of the Augie era. And lol at national titles falling off the table. Haven’t won one in almost 20 years and that includes the 12 years before Pierce arrived.
  6. There needs to be an expectations reality check along with everything else being discussed. This program deserves high standards but we’ve won 4 titles in the last 50 years. As much as it sounds cool to say winning championships is the standard it very much is not.
  7. The sun will come up tomorrow. We will either find a way like we’ve shown in past years or it will be clear what needs to be done. The gray area was eliminated with the staff restructures the last two years. We’ll see what happens.
  8. Correct. Our closer from the portal who was firing 95 from the left side got hurt.
  9. Wins and losses aside, it sure would be nice if this was the weekend to get O’Dowd and Brown back on track. Would have our lineup looking pretty good headed into conference play.
  10. Tough lefty on the mound and we have to trot out 5 lefties in the lineup, including 4 of the top 6 hitters.
  11. Biggest blunder of the offseason we didn’t recognize in real time was not taking a catcher from the portal or juco ranks. Not sure how I convinced myself we were okay at that spot but I did. A raw Rylan Galvan and a walk-on coming off an injury in 2023.
  12. First time watching college baseball? We trailed 6-0 ourselves.
  13. As true of a hop as you will ever see and just boots it.
  14. I wouldn’t hate pitching around this guy to get to the righty
  15. O’Dowd is a better option than Sanders *i think*
  16. You can’t erase plays but outside of the Hurley blowup and Harrison hanger, we have looked much more comfortable on the mound and at the plate.
  17. Maybe Boehm is who we should be starting on the weekends. His stuff is starter level good.
  18. Sanders ain’t ready. Maybe later this season or next year.
  19. Oh I know. The “x wanted to go to Texas but we didn’t recruit him” holds no weight with me in baseball because of the scholarship limit and the number of quality players in the state far outweighs the number of programs.
