    Thanks for the history lesson. After I posed that I went down Wikipedia and was like “oh shit! Didn’t realize they were that strong of a program.” Lice and learn. Thanks for the history lesson, ctj. Truly appreciate it. I’ll soak up anything college baseball. Speaking of do you, @BillyGoatHill @Beau Vine or any of the other college baseball crew over here have any good books on college baseball history?
  2. You heard the man no one has heard of. Leave this fine establishment!!

    Well, I turn 31 in March. So yeah pretty much. My first Texas baseball memory was going to an alumni game in like ‘98 or something. Followed the next 3 teams closely. Then I had a family friend playing for us in 02 so I went to an ocean of games while he was there from ‘02-‘04. And an ocean of games since then. So basically yeah. My dad filled me in on UT baseball history from the 50’s to the end of the Gus days. That’s a lot of where my college and Texas baseball knowledge comes from
  4. Sounds like we’ll have to do our part and do a surly tailgate. @immamac what do ya say?
  5. Was just talking to @B00Mabout this. How much longer can we trout him out in left with his shitty defense and can’t hit a beach ball at the plate? Is Blake Peterson ready for the spotlight? Cause I can’t handle watching Porter in left. It’s just painful
  6. Not sure vandy and Florida and Georgia and South Carolina are going to travel as well as a school 90 miles east of us or LSU or Arkansas. Just a hunch
  7. Sit fastball. This fucker can’t locate his curve or slider
  8. Flores is going to be an animal the next 2 seasons
  9. So how long a leash does Tanner get tonight? What about pitcht count? I’d give him a max or 60 tonight
  10. Cause he’s was dropped on his head and started drinking at age 3
  11. I’d stretch it to 2011. What, like 8 or so conference titles, what you said above, along with hosting in ‘06, ‘07 and ‘08. Runner up in ‘09. What I think was the best team in the country won the conference and drew a shitty draw for the supers. Then 2011 once again won the conference, hosted our way to Omaha and got bounced in 2 games. Hell of a 10 years
  12. Liked you? Have they heard your opinions on, well, anything?
  13. Yeah I’m sure you did. Let me guess, you had a 90 mph slider and an 81 mph circle change
  14. Not sure passing out handies under a mopac bridge passes as “real jobs” I know you’ve carved out a good career beating off and blowing homeless dudes, but is this really the direction you want to go? Wait what am I saying? Of course it is
  15. It’s cool with me. Working 3-11 today. Watch the game then boom. 2 hours of my shift is taken care of
  16. We clearly have the bats to go on a run. Need Witt to be awesome like he used to be. That’d be huge. With him, the rotation and bullpen will take care of itself
  17. Also I like Witt starting Tuesday. He looked pretty good his last 2 outings. Christ if he could be just 80% of what he was in ‘21 and early ‘22, we’re in business.
  18. We’re not canning him dude. Seriously do you watch Texas baseball? We’ve started this way pretty much every year Pierce has been here. Talk to me in mid April. I’ll go ahead and guess we’ll be top 3 in the conference standings by then
  19. My head coach when we would be in a 0-2 or 1-2 counts and one of us would try to spin a curve into the dirt or a slider that ends up in the lefties batter box. He’d yell “GOD DAMMIT THROW STRIKES!!!! Basically meaning fuck that off speed shit. Toss a fastball or change over the place. With a pitcher friendly count. Couldn’t believe my ears.
  20. @B00M I hate you so much right now. ‘06-‘08 hurt so fucking bad. ‘06 and ‘08 would’ve done some serious damage in Omaha. Same with the 2010 team. Still can’t believe the drop off from 2010-2012. Did Augie think he could just remake the T-Nic days instead of recruiting the Cameron Rupp, Kevin Keyes,Brandon Belt and Russell Moldenhaur’s of the world, 2 years later we have Felts, Walsh, Etier, Marlow (who was kind of a beast but inconsistent that year). IIRC, our strategy in 2012 was “just wait till Payton and Weiss are up. A hit or walk from anyone else is just gravy.” What a fun time that was
  21. Obviously LBL-Hurley-Howard. But man, I’d kill to have Morehouse back right about now. When he’s on, he’s one of the best closers in the country. When he’s off it’s not good to say the least. Really really wish he stayed
  22. Whatever it takes
  23. I’d be cool with Witt. He’s looked good the last couple outings. Let’s get him in a large crowd game experience against, and I say this lightly, a instate rival, and see if he’s gonna be legit for us or a midweek inning eater @shadow_operative2.0 you’d know, streaming options for this weekend? Assuming ESPN+ but you never know with this amazing conference
  24. So DP personally ripped off Mercers arm off and make Luke Storm quit like a bitch? Those 2 would’ve seriously helped last weekend
