St. John's @ Texas - 6:30 on LHN
That just means he'll come out throwing darts against us and our bats will be cold. 😀

His swing is a little long, which you can get away with against off speed stuff but not against the heater (can actually help, sort of, against off speed since your bat lollygags through the zone). They'll continue to pound the fastball until he shortens up. If I were an opposing pitcher, I probably wouldn't throw a breaking ball or change up until he proved me wrong.

Cal Poly @ Texas Series Thread
I know he "retired" suddenly a few weeks ago for "personal reasons", but do we know what the actual reasons are?

Weird what happens when we go opposite-field instead of trying to pull everything.

CP pitcher is a stud. Shook off that craziness and continued to deal. Seems like he should be playing for a better program...- Cal Poly @ Texas Series Thread
Not the whole thing, but maybe part of it.- HCU @ #16 Texas (Tuesday, 2/20, 6:30p on LHN)

Saw the graphic about Chase Burns transferring from Tennessee to Wake Forest. Guess he wasn't happy being moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen.- HCU @ #16 Texas (Tuesday, 2/20, 6:30p on LHN)
I don't think I'll truly understand how we have such issues stacking a roster. We're only one of the top baseball programs in college baseball history. Why are we always so damn thin while other programs just reload every year?- HCU @ #16 Texas (Tuesday, 2/20, 6:30p on LHN)
Pitching and defense, Texas' trademark, and we have neither.- Texas (-8.5) vs K State- 8pm on ESPN2
Have we learned how Abmus is pronounced Ace-mus yet?- Texas (-8.5) vs K State- 8pm on ESPN2
Did we really make the Elite 8 last year?- 2024 NCAA Baseball
The baseball version of Scott Sterling.- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
Breaking: Grubbs out for season with broken hand- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
PP's average dropping like a rock, from .455 to .417.- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
Playing some damn good baseball this inning. Love it.- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
Bases loaded with 1 out and speed at the plate? That's not much of an experiment - a pop up or double play ground ball are about the only way you can fail. Just about anything else scores a run. Belyeu's hitless too and if he's such a stud, his bat would be in the lineup already. I would have given Kennedy the AB.- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
Gasparino's not even getting the bat on the fastball. Just straight whiffs, over and over.- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
That was a good opportunity to learn a lot about a freshman, give him some confidence, etc. Especially with only 1 out. Pretty much anything but a double play ball is a success. But nope, let's pinch hit for him.- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
Is O'Dowd still 0-for-2024? Good walk/at-bat there. Good to see him work the pitcher vs. swinging for the fences on every pitch.- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
I agree 100%. We've obviously had success in the past adhering to the standards. Is it sustainable in the future, or is overall baseball culture shifting away in a manner that makes it harder to do? NIL lends itself to being a "character", having a sellable image, etc. Will players be as willing going forward to lose all the individual bullshit and play within a culture like ours?- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
I know. And again, I'm all for it. I'm just wondering if it has an effect on recruiting. Do we miss out on this guy because he wants his long hair, beard, gold chains, silly eye black, etc....(his swag)?- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
Maybe the top talent in the 2020's would rather play for long/dyed hair, beards, earrings/gold chains, trailer park looking programs where they're allowed to show their "swag." There's a marked difference in the culture at Texas and LSU; you can see it from appearances alone. We either force conformance with clean cut/professional culture or we recruit it - either way, we likely exclude some good talent in the process. Don't get me wrong - it's one of the things I've always appreciated about Texas baseball and, in my mind, I can't see why anyone would want to play anywhere else. It just makes me wonder if the societal shift toward "all about me/look at me" affects old school/classic programs like Texas when it comes to pulling (some) talent.- San Diego @ Texas Series Thread
Gotcha. Thanks for the update. Wonder what's up with the kid. Some people can't mentally bounce back from injury; maybe he's one of them. Hope not. He had huge upside before the UCL tear. - Cal Poly @ Texas Series Thread
