    I thought it was lame to pull him after 2 batters but at the same time that's part of baseball. Sounds like he has an attitude problem and needs a change of scenery. 

    We were his change of scenery...

    Wut? This is the first time in a long time that we haven’t had a legit Friday night guy.

    LBJ still can be that guy, he’s shown he can for one night, but I do think he’s done as a real lockdown starter. 

    LBJ is done. He’s had 1 impressive start all year and it was vs Cal Poly in February

    Every time we give up more than like 5 runs we score less than 5. Have we played in a high scoring back and forth 10-8 type game since that finale against Tech?

    It’s more that we can’t hit Friday guys (not new for Pierce teams) and our Friday guy sucks for the first time in the Pierce era.

    That’s 4 Friday Ls in a row and 5 of the last 6. Not a single quality start from LBJ in any of those 6 Fridays. 

    For all the warts the roster has, any 1 of Cooper, Kingham, Madden, Hansen, or Gordon would have this team within shouting distance of hosting.

    Surprised JT isn't in CF with this lineup. Maybe Pierce is giving up on that one. Draft boards seem to be respecting his positional flexibility with or without game reps this year

    Probably need to sweep this series to hold serve / maintain a a good pole position to win the Big12 reg season.

    BYU is in Baylor RPI territory. Wins basically do nothing to help our metrics. Any loss will cost us close to 10 spots. 

    The other top 6 teams in conference play each other this weekend: OU-OSU KSU-UCF KU-WV. Should be good for breaking up the log jam a bit.

  6. The S&D hire just confirms to me that Pierce is going to have to work some magic over the next 6 weeks to keep his seat. CDC is money whipping the best of the best for sports like Beach and S&D, he isn’t going into the SEC in a revenue sport with a guy who can’t build a roster or a coaching staff.

  7. The conference is bad enough and we're talented enough that the "this team might have it figured out", "Pierce has to go" whiplash will continue all year. 

    RPI is free-falling towards Q3. Weather warms up after tomorrow in Manhattan. We'll take the series and then get swept by BYU next weekend

  8. Hottest team on campus right now. Fun to watch today. Love to see Spizz want to fight back from a set down when he could be in the locker room instead

    No, the reason I never take these conversations seriously is because the names floated around either aren’t realistic or are guys with worse resumes than Pierce

    Bakich has 1 CWS appearance in 14 full seasons with 0 conference titles.

    Walter has 1 CWS appearance in 27 full seasons with 4 conference titles (3 at George Washington).

    The only thing they have on Pierce is youth and Walter has a cool pitching lab.

    What have Bakich and Walter done makes you believe they are going scorched earth on college baseball with the same resources Pierce has had?

    If Pierce has resources, someone should probably go let him know that
