    That Friday loss is all the more disappointing ow seeing what we did the rest of the weekend.

    But oh well—I guess I can’t be too pissed about a series win.

    That’s kind of the key to this year with our above average team. Just keep winning 2 of 3 and see where the chips fall.

    Pretty much any realistic candidate is going to have warts. There isn’t an Augie Garrido sitting out there that is coming to Texas and we getting Jay Johnson or Tim Corbin or Joe Torre or any other pipedream.

    Schools care more about baseball now than 20 years ago and are investing accordingly. LSU, Vandy and Florida have been breathing the same air as Texas for a while.

    We’re Texas. Money whip Bochy is obviously the way to go

    That’s what you took from my post? Yikes

    He was dropped on his head multiple times and started drinking at age 4. Don’t listen to him.

    Really like that lineup, would have swapped Will and Max but I’ll live.

    Yup. I can support that lineup for sure. I like Will in front of Max for a bit of protection 

    Plus gaspo is kinda turning the corner as he adjusts to college pitching. Get him and his speed on base and let max drive him in.

    I really wish we hadn’t moved the fences in. With the wind and the shorter fences, the Disch has turned into a home run derby

    Seriously. And making hitting our green monster in center is now a homer. That used to be special clearing that fucker. Still is but dammit just hitting it shouldn’t be a homer. And that glorious astroturf, god how I miss you and the insane bounces the ball would make off that fucker. Gave us a nice home field advantage. The ball would fly at infielders on grounders and would about once a game bounce over an out fielders head. Not to mention those liners in the gap would get to the fence and past the outfielders so fucking fast. 
     

    Now we have shitty turf that gives us no real advantage, slows the ball down making infield grounders a lot easier to scoop up. No bouncing over the outfielders head. Non of the awesome shit the Disch used to have. Fucking Gus wanted it that way, then Deloss(?) fucked us out of the turf. Pierce fucked us with the fences. Who are y’all to overthrow Gus’s dream park? Not that I have strong feelings about this or anything

    I mean all of those guys would have created reduced roles for players who are struggling or not good enough. Storm and Mercer would be massive additions to this team. Mercer would give us an AA caliber closer and Strom would allow JT to move to the OF which makes Porters struggles at lot easier to handle 

    Does anyone know why Storm quit? That was random as fuck and kind of stupid on his part. Also, fuck him for doing that.

    This off season Pierce said something like, “I’ve never been so sure about my weekend starters during an off season” (at that point it was LBJ, Hurley, Whitt)

    This is what happens when you start drinking in the morning and skip lunch.

    He's missed the tourney twice and 2022 is the only time he’s gotten past the regional. Y’all are complaining about making Omaha half the time but we are gonna bring in a guy who only makes the tourney half the time?

    Ok fair. Maybe with NIL and the right assistants he can pull it off but I’d rather O’Sullivan or Corbin or one of those types

    This shit sucks man. I love all Texas sports but baseball has always been #1. Look forward to opening day every year like a kid on Christmas morning and knowing we are 1 month in and already know what is about to likely happen.

    Can be the most beautiful sport on the planet but also the most cruel.

    What really sucks is how much I was looking forward to this year. LBJ, Porter, Thomas, Powell, Flores, Witt, Harrison and to a lesser extent, Hurley and O’Dowd coming back. Then adding Gaspo and the rest of the recruiting class coming in had me pumped. Not to mention Mercer and what’s his fuck that quit on us. 
     

    We’d definitely be better with Mercer and what’s his fuck, but not sure how much it would really help. Witt and Harrison being useless this year with Porter being meh, O’Dowd sucking, Galvan not developing at the plate  and Hurley being mediocre so far has been our demise.

    If Tulo was named interim HC would he be allowed to hire an actual Pitching Coach? Does Tulo have a degree? Would he even be allowed to be HC.

    No fucking way we do that. Play out the rest of the year, go try to buy O’Sullivan or whoever Oregon states coach is. Or we can say fuck it and try to get the band back together. Skip with tulo and maybe we can Jeff Choate Clay Van Hook over here.  

  10. The one thing that gives me hope for the future, assuming Pierce gets canned, is we have a pretty solid young core. Flores, Galvan, Gaspo, Belyeu, Kennedy, hopefully Thomas, and Galvan is a solid core to build around. We just gotta go buy one of the best portal pitchers. The class of pitchers we have coming in could be similar to the French, Peters and Curtiss class.

    Might as well just take the last coach off the Patterson/Perrin list and see what happens.

    I’m not very well versed in college baseball coaches. Who would be a good choice? 
     

    And is it wrong I wouldn’t mind Skip back as long as he keeps tulo and Rodriguez?
