March 13, 20223 yr I mean, if you're gonna let a freshman dominate you like this, you're gonna have a bad time.

March 13, 20223 yr Sooo..... who are these guys wearing the Longhorns' uniforms? Cuz' they aren't a Regional team, let alone a CWS team.
March 13, 20223 yr Just now, Balcones said: Why pull Cobb? So he can start on Wed? IMO he’s definitely earned a shot at this Sunday/Tuesday competition. Duplantier may be our best shot on Sundays though. Gonna be interesting and most likely frustrating to watch play out. Whatever. Don’t care. We got a couple months to figure it out then our real season starts
March 13, 20223 yr Why pull Cobb? So he can start on Wed? What I just asked. 22 pitches, cruising, and you pull him with 4 innings to go? Pierce keeps making it harder. Needs to take a hard look at some of the decision making lately.

And Gustafson and Garrido also played shitty players...because they were the players we happened to have at the time. I can kind of get putting yet-unproven players in tough situations with the idea that the confidence shown may get them over the hump. But it's kind of a mixture of that and not having just a wealth of options. We may need to curb our enthusiasm a bit.

Games not over but doing that is just a kick in the nuts to the psyche of your team because everyone in the stadium knows he sucks Curious … who infuriated you most? The USCe coach who had the audacity to throw his #1 in a 7 inning game or Pierce throwing Blair in the middle of an extended road trip?
March 13, 20223 yr Are we going to bring in Nixon? I guess it would be good to get some work in, but how long do you throw him?

Don’t have to since we play again Tuesday and Wednesday. Pierce needs to scale back the scheduling moving forward. These two midweek games (against a quality opponent no less) followed by playing SEC opponents is brutal. Edited March 13, 20223 yr by Hookem2147

Even with Witt, this bullpen is shaky at best and bullpens get exposed when you play 5 games in 5 days which we are in the middle of. We don’t have one guy besides Nixon with swing and miss stuff in the backend. Far cry from last year when we had 3. I figured a freshman or two from this past class would factor in but they’ve been MIA. Edited March 13, 20223 yr by Hookem2147

He’s shown good stuff thus far but idk know if he’s going to develop into a shutdown guy in time. Our bullpen can be good if managed properly, unlike today.

March 13, 20223 yr 4 minutes ago, ClubWhatever said: Southard. If he throws strikes. He didn’t last weekend and Pierce had to give the quick hook.

Our bullpen can be good if managed properly, unlike today. Harrison, Stehle and Nixon can’t throw every game. We have to have 1 or 2 more guys step up. Obviously none of us would have brought in Blair but it’s tough to manage a bullpen where you have 3.5 reliable arms (if you include Southard) and 2 of them were used earlier today and Stehle is likely unavailable after throwing 2 innings yesterday.

March 13, 20223 yr These early games are a great opportunity for Pierce to figure out who can do what when before conference play starts. These are learning experiences that will pay dividends in June.

Right, Luke was more for the freshman part of your post. We pitched a ton of guys Wednesday night and it’s not rocket science to pick the guys that actually did good. Save Blair for Tuesday or Wednesday against lesser opponents.

March 13, 20223 yr This upcoming 5 game stretch is when Daly, Campbell and Messinger need to get going. If it still isn’t clicking for all 3 I’ll be more worried heading into conference play.

March 13, 20223 yr I think playing two midweek games in consecutive weeks is not optimal under any circumstances.

March 13, 20223 yr Alright.... let's regroup and right the ship Tuesday-Wednesday and then back home against IW.
March 13, 20223 yr Very not cool. Put a damper on a pretty good sports weekend for Texas (a national title, a runner up finish, a Big 12 tournament title)
