  1. Nobody has more fun than Witt every single game. Such a great dugout presence
  2. Am I crazy for thinking Pierce is keeping LBJ on Tuesday until the A&M game? Would he mortgage the Tech Sunday for a better chance to win that game? It was a lot easier to say "Eh, it's a tuesday game" when he could point back to the Kody regional game and we're going to be in quite the RPI hole without any decent non-conference wins.
  3. Baserunning, yes. Pitching, disagree. But bringing baserunning up in a hire/fire conversation feels silly
  4. He’s been to Omaha 3x, but each time we’ve laid a massive egg in game 1 which makes it virtually impossible to win it all. Last year was the best shot to win it all that Pierce will ever have and the team completely turtled going 0-2 including getting demolished by A&M. The stink from that week is still in my nose so maybe it’s in the nose of those in the AD too. His initial assistant hires were of Herman-level kronyism and retooling this offseason is likely a big reason for the poor start. All that said, I think Pierce is great at in-game decision making and he’s been able to find good talent from high school (elite recruiting classes past and future), juco, and transfers. His 2 biggest down years were driven by injuries to the most important players on the team. If the biggest complaint is that he hasn’t been all that good in Omaha, he’s been wildly successful up until then. Augie took 5 years to do things like win the Big 12 and make Omaha that Pierce started doing from the get-go.
  5. Friday night was great and comparable to Tennessee last year. Mizzou was never going to be a draw. Was too hungover to make Sunday this year, but the UCLA crowd last year was bad too. We were top ranked last year vs unranked this year
  6. Wait.. I went away for a second after Powell’s FC. He wasn’t given a free base???
  7. Hurley, huh? Who’s getting the ball tomorrow?
  8. Craig’s got to catch his breath!!
  9. I believe that error officially puts us lower than the 2019 fielding percentage so far this year. Worse than the Reagan-Ford middle infield
  10. Outside of home games on LHN and a couple games a year on cable, every away game we play is on ESPN+. It's been like this for a few years now.
  11. Plenty of good things happening with this team, 22 handcuffing them for years from the 3rd base box is not one of those things
  12. Evening out the L/R split is probably a good thing overall, but we're going to miss out on a ton of runs with the wind out to LF
  13. GG having a blast catching for Hurley. Great inning
  14. The dumbass we have to watch waddle from the dugout to 3rd base every inning
  15. More embarrassing? Turf field or Pierce as 3rd base coach?
  16. GTFO ball
  17. That’s probably the best solution unless they want Flores to be the long term answer there. I went through all the LBSU box scores when we landed Carlson and remember him splitting time between 4, 5, and 6
  18. Powell to first, Thomas to right, Campbell to left. And I’ll be shocked if Carlson isn’t starting somewhere up the middle within a month
  19. Gordon definitely passed the test. Dre is the closer. Gullemette had a great debut. Campbell might take awhile to settle into the responsibility of being the best bar in the lineup. Flores and Thomas disappointed, but we’re going to have to deal with growing pains to be where we need to be late in the season. Carlson at short is the only roster change needed for tomorrow, Daly continues to benefit from his 2021 season
  20. Kash starting at 1B for Tech today. Transferring because you don’t get playing time over the best player in the country was quite a decision
  21. Totally agreed. On paper it’s… not great, and the stench of Omaha is still strong is my nose. That said, we finally have a pitching coach, get to see some amazing freshman bats develop, and have the chance to see Witt come back and boost the team’s trajectory
  22. Don’t have to feel conflicted about heading home Sunday morning now
  23. Jesus the 109th best player in the country is 17th in GA? UGA might break the recruiting score record this class. Easy instate access + Raiola, Simmons, normal Florida raiding
  24. Tyrese can have his garbage mins today, but going forward if he gets more mins than Rice in a single game it's coaching malpractice
  25. Rice with 14 points on 4 shots in 9 mins. Morris with 6 points on 5 shots in 8 mins. Hunter with 0 points on 3 shots in 11 mins. This game isn't a blowout if Hunter doesn't get into foul trouble which limits his first half minutes to maybe a season low
