  1. Dennis Cook brought it pretty well, hopefully somebody more recent. Can't think of one right off the top of my head, many right handers come to mind.
  2. SEC+ back to using their announcers again, instead of UT radio. Probably a weekend series thing.
  3. Is the "Snake Farm" still around? Always remember seeing that sign on I-35. It's a reptile house.
  4. Riding that bubble till it bursts on one side or the other.
  5. Texas can handle him without Karl Malone to deliver the mail.
  6. I think this guy and his teams cornered that market in the 90's. The hot bats and balls at the time helped out too.
  7. Getting to use to this. Back in the Sweet 16 again. Maybe sort of till the next game again This is better than the "Electric Eel" was at Sea World.
  8. They seem like a rudderless ship to me. Yes, the injury to Grahovac was a big blow, but it shouldn't tank your season. The starting pitching has been good, the bullpen not as good, but not horrible. Where does that make you think is wrong. Has to be coaching and it's pretty safe to say that yes, so far Earley is in over his head. They kept the players from bailing and now Grahovac is out for the season. That doesn't matter much if those players mostly position players are "lost at sea" and Earley can't motivate them to right the ship.
  9. I would add that the talk of a "toxic" atmosphere with the team at the end of the season, was confirmed by Munroe in that first On Texas Baseball video. That is never good when players don't believe in the coaching staff. Schloss can be tough, but fair. He doesn't like pitchers that can't command the strike zone, especially relief pitchers. He took Winfield and others out of the lineup when they were struggling. In that last Orange Bloods video, I posted he said he had those players working on ways to get back their stroke and timing. Tulo was working with them. He said that Winfield had found his swing again and reinserted him in the lineup and he responded with two hits and moved a runner along on his third at bat. That was a great improvement from striking out in half of his at bats and hitting .105. Borba and Galvan worked on things, and they have responded in a big way. Borba looks like he is now the starter at third base, with good defense and a very strong arm. Schloss has a great staff, who all can recruit along with him. Tulo and Weiner are great teachers of the game at their specialties. I consider this an upgrade that has already produced. It's about to get a lot harder when SEC play starts, but I feel a lot better it now than if these changes hadn't occurred. I also feel better about the future of the program.
  10. I posted this on another thread
  11. It worked out as soon as CDC became the AD at Texas and the Texas job became open.
  12. Schloss is no Aggy, he took a job he had to take. He also left as soon as possible.
  13. I think it's safe now to say UTSA beat Aggy 7-4.
  14. Thought that a homer for sure with no wind.
  15. That should be all for Riojas, he doesn't need to be throwing a lot in a game like this.
  16. Hang em and bang em. What a shot.
  17. I thought Moffett might get some work tonight. He has good stuff, he couldn't have done worse, with control.
  18. The only out he got this inning was because after the batter got ahead on the count he swung at bad pitches. He should have walked too. This is how mad Schloss is to bring Riojas.
  19. Relief pitchers with too many breaking pitches.] This ump has a small strike zone. Sometimes you have to just challenge somebody and stop being cute. Miss the Texas guys that could just come in and blow fast balls by people.
  20. Schloss is not fond of free passes from the pen.
  21. Flores challenging Bing for the HBP lead.
