May 1, 20196 yr If you flew down on a UFO before the game and watched it, you’d say that CC was the better team and you’d be right.
May 1, 20196 yr TAMU-CC, UTSA, Incarnate Word, TXST.....we're getting our ass kicked by these low DI Texas schools.

May 1, 20196 yr As the infamous Dirk Nowitzki once said.... "Shut it down....Let's go home! " And I'm talking about the season..

May 1, 20196 yr I guess last years team was coached by a Clemens kid and assisted by a Clemens adult. They left and so it’s uncoordinated mayhem. That’s all I got.
May 1, 20196 yr 1 hit in the last 8 innings of play, and thats only because it was an error by the Islander 1st baseman

May 1, 20196 yr Pierce sucks. Don't see him getting us a national championship level pitching rotation.

May 1, 20196 yr David Pierce is not the answer. kody clemens is the only thing standing between him and a shaka like situation. in typical Texas fashion we will fuck around with this disaster for a couple of more years.

I'm not convinced Pierce is the answer, but this is such a gross oversimplification. Kody had a great season at the plate, but pitching reclamation projects like Kingham and Shart and Parker Joe had as much or more to do with it than Kody.

I made that assessment several weeks ago and took a boatload of shit, plus an invitation “to start a ‘Fire Pierce’ thread” if that’s what I meant. It wasn’t at that time. Someone else did, ultimately, and I cannot disagree with it being worthy of consideration. Name one thing they do even marginally well ... Edited May 1, 20196 yr by VirginiaLonghorn

May 1, 20196 yr Good fricken grief. Looking at my Facebook this morning, it seems like every fricken aggy I know down here is jumping up and down because “TU “ got stomped by the Sand Aggies.

Well, until the latest skid they used to show heart by coming back when down in the late innings. But that's not really a baseball skill, it's more of a mindset. I think that has been crushed out of them with all the terrible baseball lately. As far as what they do well directly involving a baseball, there are a number of hitters who know how to work a count and make a pitcher work. Reynolds, Todd, Zubia (sometimes), Kennedy, Shaw are all pretty good at working a count when they want to and the ump's zone is not huge. This is actually the strength of the offense. But it sure wasn't on display very much last night.

Don't forget First Base, which might include the rest of the infield. Shaw can't sky for errant infield throws, Zubia is inept, and the infield is a bit imprecise with throws. That's been a bigger impact than Magellan Kennedy in left. Edited May 1, 20196 yr by TwiceHorn

OK .. you named the 5 hitters we should expect to do exactly what you described ... work the count, get a pitch ... but, they seldom do anything with it. I do agree with your observation, but it’s kinda like Easter bunny chocolate. Hollow when you get to the heart of the offense. One thing I was heartened to see in the final game of the WVU series. Pierce played a little small ball and it produced some runs ... exactly what one might like to see with a weak hitting team. Maximize the number of runners in scoring position and hope someone puts the ball in play.

You make it sound as if we have room for improvement.
