    Texas has won the outright Big 12 Championship

    Just from a recruiting perspective, Pierce doesn't even have that talented of a roster on campus. His first real class isn't until '18.  '15 class ranking: 24th '16 class ranking: 22nd '17 cl

Texas st on Tuesday then a 3 game set against k-st. I can haz 4-0 week, please?

 

i realize KU and Okie aren’t that great but starting conference 5-1 is big, regardless. This team has a lot of flaws but winning the games it’s supoosed to will go a long way.

So we have Texas st tomorrow, then a 3 game set against k-st, then Mcneese st at home and aggy corpus on the road. Let's rack up some wins and get us a 6-0 stretch 

Texas is being cautious with Kam Fields because he had some injury issues. I think he's probably about to get more innings out of the pen. 

4 innings pitched, 0 ERA, .167 BA, and 4 strikeouts.

Yeah I want him to get more innings and more at bats. Really like his swing 

So what's the tv/streaming options for the k-st series? Am I going to have to watch it on some shitty half ass streaming network they have?

The first game tomorrow night (Thursday) is on some local Cox cable channel in Kansas. Not sure if we'll be able to watch that one. The Friday night and Saturday games will be on watchESPN.

Forecast looks like it will be dry, but pretty chilly. 

Equipment managers need to be sure to pack the hats for bats.

Starting to come together?

We really will not know until they play another top team. But I love winning, I fucking love winning! You know what I'm saying? It's, like, better than losing?

After winning 7 of 8, I'd convinced myself that all those losses to LSU, Stanford, and Arkansas just meant that we weren't ready to compete with top ten teams, but since we were beating the teams we were supposed to beat, sometimes easily, maybe we were a fringe top 25 team with a chance to win a regional.  Yeah, bullshit.  

Whelan gets his first start tonight against Mighty McNeese State. Opposed by LHP Austin Briggs.

Not an overly tough schedule this week before our big matchup @College Station.  Honestly 4-1 is to be expected, but who knows with this team.

Losing another conference series at home against 3-6 in conf Baylor would be a disaster.  Need to make sure Texas pitchers have their act together this weekend

Well, torre did say Pierce didn't like him.

 

Is he some kind of fuckup?

Baseball is a weird "Team" sport.  Probably just an overly typical individualist playing a team sport.

Feel bad for Joe.   Injuries began  soph year (ankle, knee, iirc) and continued (shoulder surgery last March).

Regardless,  not a fit for Pierce.   Hope he attains UT Degree.

Wasn't a fit for Augie either. From what I remember, he was suspended a couple times under Augie too. 

Seems like a kid with some maturity issues. Not a good look when you have issues with 2 separate coaching staffs.

I recall one suspension for an alcohol incident.    Joe Baker does seem to have attitude/maturity issues.   Seems to be a "little hot dog" - but so was CJ Hinojosa.

My reference to "fit" meaning that he received no playing time other than pinch hit/pinch run,  not even in "mop-up" time.    Perhaps he was still having shoulder issues,  though it was sufficient recovery time (March) for arthroscopic surgery.   If healthy,  not showing much respect for a redshirt junior who has battled injuries for 2 years.  Hamilton played 2d with a bad shoulder.    Pierce seems to prefer power hitters, 1-9.  Baker is a singles guy.

Perhaps there was an off-field incident in Manhattan this past weekend that warranted termination instead of suspension ?

Baker would have preferred to leave/transfer with the others.   His Dad is a Duke grad,  probably would not approve.    Like I stated,  hope he attains the UT Degree.     

 

There was a suspension for the DUI and I'm almost positive there was another suspension at the start of his 2nd year. 

I think he's a talented kid but it's pretty obvious there's some maturity issues. Either way, I wish him the best and hope he gets his UT degree. 

Not sure how the ballpark normally plays but last year all you had to do was lift one to left field and the ball would get out. I still remember the game last year because I was amazed at how much the ball was carrying. This Shaw grand slam looked like a normal fly out off the bat.

Not so much

Wind blows out straight to left 30+ mph 90% of the time.

I'm ready to play ousucks.  I think it's going to be the next real series that will show where we are.

Horns play in CS next Tuesday.  Anyone here brave enough to go?  I'm thinking about rounding up some tickets.

 

I’m going, I think my gf who doesn’t care is going too. Already have tickets. Doc said no, something about having to work on Wednesday.

 

So if I'm looking at this correctly, we are 3-5 in opening games of multi-game series.  The breakdown:

Kingham 2-1

Shugart 0-1

O'Donnell 1-0

Ridgeway 0-1

Henley 0-2

 

So, keep starting Kingham on Fridays?  What an odd season.  We seem to be doing OK midweek but struggle getting out of the gate on weekends.

My rotation would be:

Friday - Kingham

Saturday - Henley

Sunday - O'Donnell

Midweek - Bocchi

 

I think we need to see a lot more of Fields, Robinson and McGuire out of the bullpen.
