It’s baseball so of course you won’t make it every year. But it pisses me off that apparently Pierce thinks showing up with a roster that’s green and jaggy is ok in any year.

Year before, we got ass-blasted in the opening tournament and for a while thereafter and finished third in the nation, losing squeakers to the national champion. We'll see. Yeah. It is about how you are playing in June, not February.
February 19, 20232 yr Solo HR by the pig catcher and it's 4-4 after 2 with both starting pitchers out. I'm feeling a little better about holding them to 3 last night

The optimist in me (and twilight zone thinking) wonders if Pierce prioritized experience for the staff vs the win. If solely going for the win, seems he likely would have left Shaw in longer and sent Stuart out for the 9th vs Walbridge with very limited appearances. As TwiceHorn mentions above, this tournament is not concrete to the end result.
February 19, 20232 yr Yeah. It is about how you are playing in June, not February.Yep. And if one wanted to argue for arguments sake, two 1 run games and battling back were the ideal results.Now, they can say to themselves, we can hang but have to cut down on mistakes and play consistent baseball.

But it pisses me off that apparently Pierce thinks showing up with a roster that’s green and jaggy is ok in any year. I agree, but this is kind of what Pierce does. Plays a tough OOC, puts the young dudes in pressure situations to see who's got it, then has a set lineup with pitching roles established come conference play. I'd love to go back to the 02-'11 days where we come out of the gate beating the shit out of everyone but I can't complain with the results he's given us. We just happen to have a lot of new faces. Kash transferring kinda fucked us over. We could use his bat. Fucking cocksucker
February 19, 20232 yr Not sure which direction Vandy will go on the mound today but they got plenty of options. Could go RHP Patrick Reily or LHP Devin Futrell (another tough lefty with sorta a funky delivery but nasty stuff)
February 19, 20232 yr O’Hara might be the best defensive player on the roster. If he can hit even a little bit, he will be damn good.
February 19, 20232 yr Good grief. Radio broadcast of these games has many long pauses from announcers that I think my internet connection dropped. Need a win today!

Yeah if he can go ahead and beat out Daly putting him back at 2nd where he belongs that’d be nice. And I assume O’Dowd at 3rd would’ve made those plays Flores didn’t Friday night
February 19, 20232 yr I’m gonna assume Vandy is throwing a lefty with all the righties we have in the lineup
February 19, 20232 yr 22 minutes ago, WBT said: Huh, Daly to the bench Game 3 Think Pierce is just giving the young dudes a shot in the infield. Cool with me. Daly isn’t exactly our standard at short
February 19, 20232 yr Announcers need English lessons. So far I've heard "sit on your laurels" and "at the same token."
February 19, 20232 yr All new infield, same throwing errors. Or not, replay shows Constantine got his foot down in time.
February 19, 20232 yr Vandy emptying the dugout between innings to play duck duck goose in shallow left is weird
February 19, 20232 yr Alright guys, you throw the ball, ya' hit the ball, and you catch the ball. Let's play ball!
February 19, 20232 yr 4 minutes ago, WBT said: Vandy emptying the dugout between innings to play duck duck goose in shallow left is weird I mean, they call themselves “the Vandy Boys”. What do you expect?
February 19, 20232 yr Just now, Horny Bull said: Infield defense leaving quite a bit to be desired. Add that to the list of things to work on.
February 19, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, WBT said: HBP sets up the dp to get out of it. If we can turn it. And there it was and there it was
February 19, 20232 yr 11 minutes ago, Fletch said: Guillemette has made solid contact all weekend. So that’s nice Were you guys in the know skeptical of his offense? Or was it his defense?
February 19, 20232 yr O’Hara might be the best defensive player on the roster. If he can hit even a little bit, he will be damn good.Hmmm
February 19, 20232 yr Grand slam. Can't give a good team 6 outs in an inning? Edited February 19, 20232 yr by WBT
