April 11, 20187 yr And to think someone will hire that pitcher someday. Like milton from office space.
April 11, 20187 yr A&M players doing the horns down id think about putting nico back on the shelf until 2019 Edited April 11, 20187 yr by GreenspointTexas
April 11, 20187 yr The SEC chant is priceless. They ain’t shit and will never be shit so they lean on the SEC.
April 11, 20187 yr All things considered - and the main thing to consider being that we started a kid who wasn’t anywhere near ready to pitch - maybe we didn’t do all that badly.
April 11, 20187 yr Oh well. Fuck the aggys, but onto things that matter. Let's go beat down the scum of the earth Sooners this weekend.

Yeah it could easily have been humiliating if some other pitchers hadn't stood tall. They're pretty much all capable of explosive diarrhea all over themselves.
April 11, 20187 yr So many wasted opportunities. I’d kill for Gus or Augie. I don’t think Pierce is the guy. I hate the aggys so much. I don’t know why I do this to myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

April 11, 20187 yr Heck, Skip drove me nuts at times but he was/is light years ahead of this pitching coach we have now. Pierce hopefully considers this. Edited April 11, 20187 yr by BillyGoatHill

April 11, 20187 yr Welp, at least my alma mater UT Arlington whooped that aggy ass earlier this year. Am I allowed to take any vicarious pleasure in that?

April 11, 20187 yr It's not a Texas board unless after every loss there's someone questioning the hire of every coach. To be fair, we have made some horrible coaching hires lately.

We're 1.5 seasons into Pierce's tenure and there's already people with "I don't think David Pierce is the guy". Not every win and loss is a referendum on the coach especially when said coach is not even 2 years on the job and is coming off a regional appearance/top 20 RPI in year 1.

April 11, 20187 yr Actually losing by 1 to a Texas program on the road in a mid week game after spotting them 4 isn’t that bad of a loss. We should play them 3x a year on Tuesdays and rotate like we used to with Rice. The game was highly entertaining and very competitive. It’s not like football, dropping one isn’t a big thing. But with only one game between us it seems huge. i’d rather play the ags 3x on Tuesdays than McNeese State etc

April 11, 20187 yr These midweek games are kind of fun but not really great baseball. Just flip a coin when you throw that many back end bullpen arms. I would much rather us play a 3 game series with A&M. But generally speaking, these A&M midweek games on the road aren't bad for the resume. A loss doesn't really hurt you and a win helps the resume. Same with the Arkansas midweek games. My only complaint about the midweek scheduling is when we schedule 2 scrubs in non-conference during 1 week. You're playing with fire scheduling like that.
April 11, 20187 yr Alright, not trying to call people out, and I'm not bc I think your concerns are well warranted, but it's definitely too early to think Pierce may not be the guy. Was he our first choice. Lol, no. He wasn't even our second, third, fourth... you get the idea. But the guy to a degree has resurrected the program from it's state a few years ago. And no, it's not where we want the program or where it deserves to be, but I can assure you Pierce is not a soft guy. That's more of the basketball coaches MO in my honest opinion. This was aggy's superbowl, it is every year. And they barely held on to a victory that we spotted them 4 runs. Not to mention, they chanted their conference's name despite the fact that they've only one it once in the regular season in any of the big 3 sports (it was a basketball co-championship thanks to a bullshit tech call in Collie Station against a UK player), and they haven't really been close in any other year. Not to mention they currently have a losing record in that conference. Think about that. I know we have high demands, and rightfully so: it's the most successful baseball program by a mile in the sport all-time. But it's gonna take a minute. Especially when the team has 21 new players this year. I can assure you, Augie's first 2-3 seasons were not ones to be remembered. Texas will be fine. Or they won't, and they'll move on in another couple of years or so. But I can only hope, now with a competent AD, they won't give him some enormous extension for minimal success like they did for Shaka.
April 11, 20187 yr I'd be on board for a 3-game weekend series with aggy, too. Both teams are usually good and the fans enjoy it, so let's see everybody's best arms.

Their fans somehow became even more obnoxious after they joined the new conference, and they are truly unbearable people to be around. And the entitlement of their baseball fans despite the fact that they haven't won a game in Omaha since I was less than 1 year old makes them almost worse than their football fans. Almost. Actually, no fuck that. Their baseball fans are worse. They have by far the most cultish behavior
April 11, 20187 yr A&M baseball fans are 100X worse than the football fans because at least the football fans have some perspective. The baseball fans legit think A&M is a powerhouse in baseball with 2 college world series wins in their entire history. I've had several A&M fans try to tell me their baseball program and history is better than Texas. This wasn't a joke or sarcasm. They were dead serious. The crazy thing is they've had more success in football than baseball. Edited April 11, 20187 yr by texasstrong12
April 11, 20187 yr If y'all want to cringe, go check out the spat Wescott got in with some Ags tonight. It seems like RD could educate a few of those folks pretty well.

The crazy thing is they've had more success in football than baseball. And what's also funny is that of how lopsided the three sports are, baseball by far is the most. Or at least, whenever in the past when it mattered, aggy was never able to get over the hump. Lost every series from 2004-2011, some of which decided the Big 12

We lost one good arm to the draft and another to tommy John surgery before the season started. Oh well. We've been improving over the last few weeks. Gotta take 2 of 3 from the land thieves this weekend. A sweep would be even nicer
