This ump is stingy AF.

Is Hamilton at the bottom of the order because of the injury?  I think I liked our lineup better when he was at the top.

Pierce can't seem to settle on anything.

Gee, uh ... might be a good idea to take a pitch here and there.

Edited by wood

I hope Reynolds doesn't have to be told to take a pitch here

Welp. Nothing wrong with that pitch. 

Tomorrow looks to be a complete pitching shitshow.  Probably for both teams.

So McGuire hit about 0.050 his freshman year here, came back as a pitcher, and now gets to play right field?

Mysterious.  He is hitting .500 right now, though.

Granted I missed the end of Gus and beginning of Garrido, but this is the worst Texas pitching I think I have ever seen.

not sure why anyone would be surprised.  we happened to play the worst 2 teams in the conference first.  we aren't good.

What in the fuck has has happened to our pitching?  It should not be this bad.

Have you seen our coaching staff? Not much of a track record

Skip aint the only good pitching coach in the world.  We had a pretty good string of em before him.

But Pierce and his volunteer assistant pretty clearly aren't getting it done.

The end of Gus was a shit show.  Darren Gustafson did a lot of the recruiting back then and we ended up with a lot of people from central Texas(because Darren didn’t have to drive) and counties where Darren liked to dove, deer and quail hunt.  It was bad.

of course..but the question was what happened to our pitching? Skip Johnson left and we hired David Pierce and a volunteer.

Fair nuf.  And yeah, AO is right, the only experience any AC has other than Pierce's staff at SHSU, Tulane, or Texas is two years at NWSt (La.).  Very comfy for ol Dave.

Yeah, that's what I understood, and similar complaints were leveled at Harmon before his departure.  But even still:

1995 Texas 44-19 14-10  
1996 Texas 39-24 17-7

So, we fucking tie it up in the T9.

And load the fucking bases with no outs in the B9:  HBP HBP Single.

Un.  Fucking.  Real.

agreed. we will need to win the conf tourney to make the tournament.  probably going to go  1 fer 4 on the coaches in the between Dodds and Del Conte era.

These announcers are bending over backward not to admit that we really pretty much suck.

holy shit.  Ridgeway just needs to see the bench the rest of the way.  he's awful.   it sucks we are going to have to watch this shitshow for 2 more years.  sept can't get here fast enough.  I think Herman and staff are at least competent.

Really everyone has regressed tangibly, and seemingly as the season progresses.

 

So,  since we've only had three coaches now in my lifetime, how long does Pierce get? 3? 4? 5?

But then we will get Schloss and all will align. CWS champs 2021.

misses the tournament this year and next he's gone.  if he makes it one of the next 2 years I think he gets the 3rd but I really want Del Conte to take control and get our fucking house in order.  if that means firing obviously shitty coaches earlier than you'd like, so be it. these days you usually know by the 3rd  year at the latest if you have it or not.  its not worth waiting anymore.  too much money at stake.

I stopped paying attention at 9-3, then I see this. FMMFL.
