  1. We have 2-3 potential Q1 series left that should boost us. And we don’t have any midweek games in May which eliminates opportunities for Pierce to shoot the team in the foot Im curious to see how far that trend continues. The current favored metrics provide 0 incentive to play midweek games after mid-March or so
  2. Believe that makes 4 straight series Ws vs TCU too
  3. The conference sucking makes the non-conference underperformance even more damning. We pissed away every opportunity to build a good RPI base. Every 2-1 weekend performance vs a middling Big 12 team is immediately cancelled by the next q4 home loss.
  4. Bizarro season. 1-5 on conference Fridays. 5-1 in conference series’. Nightmare non-conference performance. They certainly know how to turn it on when things are on the line, but it’s hardly enough to dig out of holes they create for themselves
  5. A good ejection is a wonderful thing. Are there any other sports where you can lay into the officials and energize the building with 0 sporting penalty?
  6. Concerted effort to take more pitches ends in 2 Ks looking followed with a 1 pitch AB. Splendid
  7. Went to the bar for a few and this still isn’t over?? I pity anyone who’s now watched nearly 4 hours of this
  8. This rules. Any doubt is now officially gone. Every external hire CDC has made has been dynamite. Motivated $ with a combined new coach + SEC bump
  9. This is about his 10th Charlie KU game of the season and we still have over month to go
  10. It’s pretty impressive that Zeke and Zonk are able to play it straight on these broadcasts when they’re completely fucking disgusted at the state of their program.
  11. Every single 6’8 human on the planet can throw harder than this
  12. Trash compacted Ivan for golden spikes
  13. I don’t think a season ever hinges on Jake McKenzie’s health and he had no future in pro ball. But agreed, there’s little to no risk and maybe some upside to find somebody will will compete on the mound
  14. Really don’t hate it if JT is willing. We obviously don’t have the starting pitching to make it more than 3 games in a regional at this point. Whats the worst that happens? We lose another Q4 game, who cares at this point
  15. Any time I see a high ranked recruit in the 6’5-6’9 range described as athletic/bouncy/high-motor I assume they’ll be gone in a year. Mitchell, Liddell, Greg Brown, etc. AJ Johnson averaged under 3ppg on 37% in NZ this year At least the 5* centers can be a defensive anchor even if they go pro before they become all that efficient offensively. And a wing that can’t score ruins spacing way more than a center
  16. Wing without elite length that can’t shoot. Feels very Gerald Liddell-y
  17. I heard someone say we got shafting with scheduling vs them, but just looked it up. I think this is every sport we played them in excluding "meet" sports - golf, rowing, t&f, xc, s&d. What are the odds of this randomly occurring? VB: at coog, 2 game sweep WBB: at coog, win W Tennis: at coog, win Soccer: at coog, win Softball: at coog, series w Baseball: at coog, series w MBB: home/away L Football: at coog, w
  18. Hilarious game. They forfeit a home series to sell tickets to orange shirts. LF takes a fly ball off the dome extending the inning in the 7th and we launch 2 bombs. Win it in the 9th
  19. The 2025 picture is starting to look pretty. Pope and Garrison and we're top 15
  20. The biggest Pierce-Herman similarity is how 1-2 bad recruiting classes can have you on the street in a hurry. 2019 for Herman. 2020 and 2021 are now the classes that are plaguing Pierce. Pierce neglecting HS pitchers is akin to Herman neglecting OL/DL recruiting.
  21. Beard being an alcoholic dickhead didn’t help. Nobody wanted to stick around getting no minutes while dealing with him. And he didn’t have patience for guys worth 0 minutes either. Now RT doesn’t command the respect for guys to want to stick around and get better
  22. How many coaches in the country can manage a roster in an organized fashion? It’s a small group and most, if not all, would laugh CDC out of the building. I know that losing talented high schoolers doesn’t help change this, but we haven’t had a true high school success story since Ramey in 2018.
