  1. At least it looks like Caston may be getting his feet under him and gaining confidence because he will definitely be needed the rest of the season.
  2. I know, just a quick summary to avoid writing a novel about something with very little relevance to the game thread.
  3. Agree to disagree, this team goes into long stretches where they get lulled into looking for walks, and you can tell with the amount of hitters count pitches we take. Baseball giveth and it taketh but I'd much rather see our guys go up hacking like Arkansas in hitters counts as opposed to our approach which is to take take take.
  4. It does, I get told not to overreact on this board a lot, how about we not overreact to one inning. Caston put a hell of a swing on that, one of the hardest hit balls I've seen hit at the Disch 2017: .252 avg 2018: .271 avg (.260 with out Kody) 2019: .249 avg coming into tonight
  5. Caston Peter, Jesus Christ son
  6. Ayy, at least we are on the board, got 2 runs off Sandy Koufax
  7. Because we have to go on the road to Stillwater, we have notoriously struggled in Lawrence because that place seems to always put us to sleep, TCU on the road this weekend is going to be interesting considering last year the only real difference between the two teams was Kody Clemens. We got a nice series win against a good team in Tech in which we were outscored 9-8. We made just enough plays to win 2 games which is why I said this team reminds me a lot of the 2017 team, you can see the ceiling isn't very high.
  8. Maybe by somebody else, but I don't see Kody Clemens coming out of the corn fields in the outfield. This team just has no depth at all and their is nobody to carry the offense and take pressure off of everybody else. We won't look like this against TCU or on the weekend against anybody because guys like Jack Neely won't see the mound, this team is slowly falling back down to earth now that Austin Todd, Eric Kennedy, Ryan Reynolds, and Duke Ellis are no longer playing out of their minds. This team is looking a lot like the 2017 team. Good-great weekend pitching (Ty Madden is this teams version of Nick Kennedy in terms of ability) with little to no offense. Not to mention our best player is in a boot. Making a regional would be a good season for this team, just to much to overcome.
  9. This team will be lucky to finish top 3 in the conference, not enough horses in the tank and hitting .249 as a team in mid march isn't a recipe for success. The approach save for Kody and Kacy Clemens has also been putrid under Pierce but for some reason refuses to be addressed.
  10. At this point I would put Caston and Bryce in the game, no point in risking further injury to two guys at positions of need.
  11. Those 9 CWS appearances and 0 national titles sure as hell weren't it so I'll buy this explanation
  12. No point wasting your arms today, we aren't hitting this kid that Arkansas has on the mound, let Neely get baptized by fire
  13. If you could go into a lab and craft the perfect pitcher to beat Texas, this kid would be it. It also looks like he watches a lot of Cole Hamels film, his delivery looks almost identical
  14. Well Mrs. Smart, how do you do on this fine Monday evening.
  15. You're giving Texas Southern too much credit
  16. Not totally applicable to losing to Stanford but most of it is, RIP Augie
  17. Pierce is going to have to get creative. Ford deserves more opportunities before he is written off this year but you may have to see if Kennedy can play 2B, move Tate back to LF, and play Sam at 1B.
  18. Yes, but he was a high school coach nonetheless, never coached at any level of college. It's bull shit to project someones HOF career on to someone that is still writing theirs. If you compare where each Pierce and Gus were at the time each took over at Texas, Pierce has way more skin on the wall.
  19. Gus was a no name successful high school coach.
  20. I'm also in favor of us never playing Stanford in Palo Alto again, every time it is a snooze fest. Go play someone in the ACC
  21. Should be bases loaded no outs, good shit Caston, we should leave Reagan and your ass in Palo Alto
  22. Thank god it hasn't rubbed off on Duke, sweet baby jesus what a catch
