We all were.  But, thankfully it lasted only 11 games.

What in the ever loving fuck happened to Aaron Nixon. He was nails last year and now seems scared to be on the mound 

Edited by TankedBevo

This team is disappointing me more than the football team. And they lost to Kansas and had 0 players drafted.

he only had to go one inning or less last year most of the time.

No way this team makes Omaha. I would say "time to start looking forward to football season" but....... 

I was so excited for this season.
Same, glad a jumped on Omaha last year. That team over performed and was fun to cheer for. This team is a beating, especially with all the expectations.

I just know that even at my advanced age I have never seen a hitter strike out on a bases loaded full count while getting hit by the pitch.  That is just beyond stupid.

Yesterday and today was by far the most embarrassing Texas Baseball I have ever witnessed. And I have been going to games since Clark Field. Total ass kicking (plus getting baked by the sun) yesterday and now today's bullshit implosion. Sean Allen NEEDS to be gone. Obviously he is not doing anything.

After this series, I may not be able to lay pipe for a week.

 

On the bright side, I think the men's golf team might be pretty good.

Think about this team next year without the run production.  Would you like to pitch for this team without Melendez, Stehly, Messinger and Ardoin?  Faltine will improve, hopefully Daly gets back to form.  Maybe Kash and O'Dowd decide to hit for a ton of power.  This team will not score a lot of runs next year and it is obvious that everyone but Gordon is terrified to throw strikes.

Faltine should be gone.

The portal should be used very aggressively by Pierce. And not for guys like Blair.

You don't want a bunch of dudes who cant locate 92mph on 0-0 and then cock-shot 88mph FB on 2-0 and 3-1?

The Texas bullpen did exactly what Amber Heard did in Johnny Depp's bed.

Can you subtly encourage dudes to use the portal?

Can't believe that chick actually dropped a full Grumpy Stevens in his bed.  What a fucking loon.

My feeling is that we will suck for the next couple years  unless we have add a bunch of  freshman, transfers or JUCO dudes with balls. The pen we have now is bush.

I want guys that are all about having fun and in the end knowing it was about the friends they made along the way. But seriously, if Pierce doesn’t revamp the entire staff he’s a dead man walking and we’ll be entering the sec with a new coach. Guys like Luke, LBJ, Zane etc should have been given more opportunities earlier in the season but instead Pierce decided to play fuzzies with Nixon and Southard. We have some young guys that can pitch if they’re allowed to develop.

Luke, LBJ, and Zane… like he said in the sentence before. JK
But seriously Allen has to be gone right? I’ll admit to not knowing a ton about his credentials and history before us but his results here have been atrocious. What pitchers do we feel like he’s made better since he’s been here? Every guy on the staff has taken a step back this year.

As someone said upthread, it appears that Pierce and Allen are joined at the hip.

Then get rid of BOTH. Sean Allen has done NOTHING. Yesterday's fiasco (one fucking inning /10 runs) is proof. Embarrassment.

yep he's gone.  nothing more to do here.

Lol at anyone that thinks Sean Allen won't be back next year. Only way he won't be in a Texas uniform is if he gets a head coaching job.

hopefully CDC has his list together because this could be really ugly next year.  the portal and Witt are the only things that give hope.  

I will give Pierce this, 2019 was a complete dumpster fire and 2021 was great.  2022 is obviously nowhere near 2019.  If he is joined with Allen then he better coach up Allen because our staffs with him, save last year, have not been good enough. Our hitting has improved overall and I give Pierce credit for that.

This shit ain't over you cocksuckers. Let's throw rocks at Pierce after the fat lady sings.

You’ve seen nothing from a guy like Luke? Seriously? I’ll admit the list is small but there are a couple of guys that have shown good stuff.

Bargaining for sure. 

Let's ride. 5-1 to close it.

Our pen was not deep last year. The 3 guys were damn good, but it’s that lack of depth that hurt in the very end. Those 3 guys were excellent. But they also weren’t jacked around as best I recall.

Hansen was better last year. Stevens was considerably more reliable last year. Neither of these guys gave us a good start this weekend.

Now yesterday. I’m still floored/ticked at Pierces pitching decisions. It should have been Harrison or LBJ to start the 7th. I’ve been advocating 1 inning per outing, but this was a time when we could have gone 2 as neither of those had extended themselves this past week. I’m not letting Cobb face a dude that can take a 3/4 swing and knock it out.

I do believe these guys mental prep is jacked cause they’re long relief one game, short the next. Start a game then out of the pen with runners on the next. Pitching in a non-tight Tuesday game then thrown in after the lead is blown on the weekends. You’re our closer, but you might enter in the 7th or pitch in extras for multiple innings at a time. Apparently, this is not changing.


At this point, I’m not sure it’s a given we make a regional (not having done the math). At the same time, I wouldn’t want to face us because Hanson can shut you down. Stevens has big game experience. And Gordon is looking strong. We can hit.

Sure this season has been a colossal disappointment thus far and we now have no chance of defending our conference title but...um...well...

Melendez and Murph are sure awesome.

Plus we may have the coaching staff limits lifted and maybe can pay Tulo and hire another coach or two. Maybe some pitching guru. How is that going anyway? 

If we can just keep our hitting coach, hire another pitching coach, get someone to coach 3B, and find someone to oversee recruiting, we’ll be set.

There’s also the issue of pitching change management- who goes in and when.

Probably subsumed in 3B coach, but teach baserunning.

 Someone needs to take this thread out behind the barn and put it out of its misery.  

Pierce said he may have the answer:

"Maybe we just need to take a break and get away from baseball for a while...just not show up until Tuesday".

 

Yea....that's the answer.
