  1. Wonder where Witt fits into the plan now.
  2. He needs to lock in better no doubt. He did start a bit slow last year too. Not that they are the same caliber player but guys like Antico and Campbell got off to poor starts too. Ultimately, just win. Whatever that takes. If we’re relying on a bottom of the order guy to do that, we’re in trouble.
  3. I’m speaking more in the sense of natural and fluid that lefties often have. To go along with the launch angle. Until DP tells me personally I believe he values the extra power. I’d say his swing is better than his discipline and approach at this point. But I’ll save my arguing for other points.
  4. Define reasonable. Baseball is a numbers game so it shouldn’t be difficult. A bit of randomness so I looked up 2021 Vandy. The top 8 Vandy hitters in terms of ABs from that season. Jacks 2023 season would have ranked 4th in average, 5th in slugging. Same for Mississippi State that year. 2021 Texas puts him 5th and 4th. All 3 teams were quite good. Perfect Game had Jack O as the 96th ranked player. Vandy brought him on. He’s got a good swing so it shouldn’t be a surprise that DP has hopes for him. He certainly needs to be more disciplined but DP also values pop so aggression may be rewarded.
  5. .284 and an OPS of near .800 in his only full season. 10-30, 3 HRs, 6 RBIs last post season. For me, that’s reasonable.
  6. Baseball players for over a century have run hot and cold. Even the very best. My point is that it does not have to be all or nothing. You don’t want Jack hitting.200, but you don’t want Kennedy hitting like Flores last year either. If you keep them both engaged, then you have an opportunity for them both to be productive. And we’re not playing for next year so you’re advocating dropping a guy that’s produced to a reasonable level for a full season and some in the postseason for what you hope might happen with a guy that’s never done it. Like him or not Pierce has a baseline understanding of what a capable hitter looks like. We don’t have guys playing that don’t meet a certain minimum.
  7. I don’t need you to tell me anything. He’s done enough to earn more PT. I’m pro-rotation and keeping guys engaged. Play matchups. Play the hot bat.
  8. Alright. Guess a dude that hit around .300 last post season with some pop should not see the field. Got it. I’m not sure Gasparino stays down there but who knows.
  9. What does your ideal bottom of the order look like?
  10. I’d just like to say without Jack Os RBI in late innings we don’t win last night.
  11. Yeah not a knock on Farmer but more in relation to his production to date. Difficult to find consistency with sporadic play particularly at the plate. DP hasn’t been a huge rotation guy so we’ll see if that changes a bit.
  12. So you’re saying the Texas resurgence begins tonight?
  13. Yeah maybe. Marlin was a classification or maybe two above Mart, but they did have similar type guys. Not sure when Marlin dropped down. We’re talking a span of 30 years or so in my mind so things are a bit distorted.
  14. I can’t speak to that specifically. If I had to label a program as underachieving through the years, Marlin would probably rank fairly high. Course part of my experience with that is from years ago. The smaller schools around Waco produce some good athletes.
  15. They have a losing record against St John’s, Stetson, Jacksonville and UCF.
  16. Let’s look at it on a percentage basis. We outscored UW 33% and AF 20%. Is that really scraping by? Pretty sure we all take that return on our investment portfolio for a days work.
  17. It’s a midweek game in a week with 5 games. Brown and Belyeu got a rest. Farmer hasn’t shown any better. You would shit yourself if Jack was in the 2 hole. You drop Powell a spot. Add you a little speed at the top of the order and there you have your lineup.
  18. All these Marlin kids have BO&W just shittin all in his pants.
  19. That’s a long way to hit a ball off a tee. I wonder what’s a reasonable distance to hit one off a tee.
  20. Maybe Lummus had what Flores had this weekend and was delayed a few minutes.
  21. So DP is back to put a struggling weekend guy on a Tuesday so he’s back on track and ready for the next weekend kick.
  22. You guys are doing well. No pants shitting yet with Kimble behind the plate.
  23. My initial comment wasn’t specific to you and only you but was in fact a response to the context of that conversation and not simply your post. I simply did not requote what you quoted. Apologies.
