It's all or nothing in an elimination game and Shugart wants the fucking ball so you give it to him. He walked a dude and Maldonado hit a fantastic 2 strike pitch to drive in a run, threw a meatball to India and paid the price for it but that's baseball. Pierce pushed all the right buttons to get here and simply doesn't have enough on the roster to compete with these teams that are much better. Fact. While all that is true, you don't leave a kid out there to take that beating, when everyone could see it coming.

Despite his overall Herculean effort, that doesn’t absolve him of criticism in managing pitchers. He pulls guys too soon and did way too soon with Henley in the 3rd. No way Shugart should’ve had that PC in the 6th. JFC, we had no business beating TennTech and we did. Shugart is our best option and he is average. Kingman is average. Henley is average. Bocchi is our best starter right now. We have a 5'11 first baseman that would not start at DBU. A left fielder who should be on the bench as a good, college utility player. Same for Center Field. Reynolds and Zubia need a break and to get back to hitting basics. Our Catcher should be a DH, he is below average behind the plate....

June 19, 20187 yr 26 minutes ago, HtownHorn said: Meaning it was clear Shugarts was out of gas, and you left him in to take a beating for no reason other than bad managing. Should have gone to get him after the BB. we don't have any other good arms. It's pretty much ride or die with Shugart in this situation. It's why Pierce rolled with Henley today and Shugart out of the pen. He knows Texas doesn't have the arms to shut down these type teams outside of his best arms.

June 19, 20187 yr First round draft pick making great pitches against average college players. So it goes.

I really think most people talking shit about that decision haven't watched many games this year.
June 19, 20187 yr As bad as Texas has been offensively the last 10 years or so, I don't remember a 13K game.
June 19, 20187 yr mother fucker. please take this mother fucker out.. edit Edited June 19, 20187 yr by kingkoopa6 sweet

June 19, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, TwiceHorn said: You put in someone else to get assraped? If that happens it happens, but you have options in the bullpen that have been good more times than not rather than letting Shugarts get hammered.

If they've seen our bullpen they would know why Pierce doesn't trust our pen and why Pierce wisely decided to bring Shugart out of the pen today.

June 19, 20187 yr Can't keep things going today. Runners on third and second with no outs and we K out twice!

June 19, 20187 yr Just now, Zepol87 said: You don't know what you are talking about Yeah they really haven't been better more often than not. At best 50-50 and recently scary as hell.
June 19, 20187 yr Why the fuck is Hamilton our lead off? Dude fucking just stands there. This lineup blows ass.
June 19, 20187 yr Just now, Lat22 said: Can anybody tell me the last time Hamilton got a hit? I’m serious. Texas State? He had a speed triple once in the hazy past.
