March 4, 20205 yr Yeah I have no doubt CDC can find the right guy. But holy shit. Skip should’ve been announced as a HCIW or whatever at the start of the ‘14 season.

Skip was running the show for the most part. He was not the answer. Savage at UCLA was the answer or along those lines.
March 5, 20205 yr Yeah I get that. But just getting rid of Augie and having Skip be the guy and let him fill out the coaching staff his way. We always had pretty badass pitching staffs under him, even when we sucked in ‘12 and ‘13. Eh whatever. Hopefully Pierce figures it out or we go after Savage or O’Sullivan or something. It’d be kinda fun to pluck Tadlock from tech somehow
March 5, 20205 yr Our standard for baseball should be higher than any sport, even football. We are the bluest of bluebooods in baseball. We‘ll see how this season plays out, but it’s looking more and more like Pierce is not our standard.
March 5, 20205 yr I would like to go the CWS again before I die. My daughter will never forgive me if I don’t take her. She is already begging me to take her to the aggy game and that won’t be fun with a shitty team
March 5, 20205 yr I would like to go the CWS again before I die. My daughter will never forgive me if I don’t take her. You’ll be taking her sooner than you think. Not to root for Texas but no reason why you can’t just buy a ticket and go anyway.

I like Pierce, think he’s a solid coach but we’ll see if he’s got “it” or not. Really rooting for the guy. Especially after snagging Tulo and Huston. I guess we’ll see if he’s the guy or not in about a month. For Christ sakes please get this shit turned around. Watching Tech and and LSU and mother fucking Arkansas be the current “top dogs” in college baseball makes me fuckin sick. And yeah I know we beat the pigs on Saturday but they pounded us in ‘18 and ‘19 multiple times

He was clearly not the answer and on rec.sports.baseball.college I participated in the Fire Augie threads. Plus we swept LSU last year.
March 5, 20205 yr Get out the smelling salts Texas and deal with Cal Fullerton State with extreme prejudice.

If I had it my way, he’d be here till 2035 or whatever. But Augie came in with 3 national titles under his belt from a commuter school. But here we are in year 4 making the stupidest fucking throws and errors and base running mistakes. All fixable but it’s becoming more and more of a trend than just “bad luck”.

I've seen Texas "run-off" the winningest coach in College Baseball twice. would love to see Pierce be the third (in 20+ years). Edited March 5, 20205 yr by petscii

March 5, 20205 yr planning on taking my girls sunday if we look like a real baseball team tomorrow and saturday. otherwise we'll just take a walk.
March 5, 20205 yr I see we are a little down right now about our boys, but I have a question-- does anyone know anything about getting tickets for the game against UTA in Frisco in a couple weeks? I have searched EVERYWHERE on line and cant find a legitimate ticket outlet. Hell, even StubHub doesn't list it. They have to be on sale somewhere, don't they?
March 5, 20205 yr I like Pierce as well and I find it hard to believe that somehow now he can't coach since getting to Texas.....in D1-A baseball the smaller teams are playing the bigger teams as much or more than any sport probably including basketball he did well at Sam Houston and had Tulane moving in the right direction.....there was a lot to clean up at Texas when he started and it was a big transition under difficult circumstances....yes with college baseball especially at Texas there is the chance to get a few difference makers in quickly and that does not seemed to have happened, but I suppose if those difference makers do not come in immediately or do not pan out then you are not going to look good....there does seem to be issues with fundamentals though and that is a concern I hate to even bring it up, but fuck look at Florida.......if piece of shit patterson had not been such a total fucking failure causing Texas to go with interim AD Perrin (that did a lot better than most would have under the circumstances) then there might have been a real chance to pull the coach from Florida.....but no fucking chance with all the shit that was going on with UT athletics at the time....Texas is still paying the price for that shit and probably will for a couple of more years in some sports.....same with the Louisville coach....no chance with a temp AD and a who fucking knows as a replacement
March 6, 20205 yr Let’s sweep those Fullerton fuckwads. Some nice pay back for ‘04. That championship series still fuckin pissed me off. We had those fuckers. The next 12 games eases up quite a bit( no clue how good Fullerton is, same with New Mexico ) but now would be a good time to get some wins and get some confidence headed into conference play. Edited March 6, 20205 yr by Fletch
March 6, 20205 yr Lobos have beaten BYU 5 times outta 6 this year, which has made up half their schedule (not sure why). They've played a respectable schedule overall (9-4). Fullerton has looked uncharacteristically crappy to start this season, 4-9, though they took 2/3 at Stanford. They hit worse than us (.221avg/.279slg). To atone for some ugly losses as of late, with this kinda competition coming into the Disch...the team really needs to take 5 outta 6.

Fullerton was decimated by the draft in '18 (especially pitching) and hasn't recovered. Coach Vanderhook had to replace his two coaches at the end of last year. So this isn't the Fullerton of the past. Edited March 6, 20205 yr by torre
March 6, 20205 yr From the Fullerton site. Much respect for Coach Vanderhook. Played for Augie at Fullerton. Came from Cali to attend the memorial service at the Erwin Center. So emotional had difficulty in holding his head up. FULLERTON, Calif. – After an eight game homestand, the Titans head to Texas to take on the Longhorns beginning Friday afternoon with first pitch set for 4:30 p.m. PT. Saturday and Sunday will be an early start on the West Coast with first pitch scheduled for 12:00 p.m. PT and 11:30 p.m. PT. This weekend will be a remembrance of the great Augie Garrido, who led both Cal State Fullerton and Texas to national championships. Garrido won national titles in 1979, 1984 and 1995 while at Fullerton and in 2002 and 2005 with Texas. In 21 seasons under Garrido's guidance, the Titans won a total of 929 games. Garrido then led the Longhorns to 824 wins in 20 seasons to bring his career wins total to 1,975, the second-most all-time. With Garrido having led both programs it's not secret as to why Cal State Fullerton and Texas are among the top-10 winningest programs in college baseball history and are two of the seven programs with four or more national titles. The two teams will meet for the first time since 2004 in the College World Series when the Titans defeated the Garrido led Longhorns 3-2 to claim their fourth national championship. https://www.fullertontitans.com/sports/m-basebl/2019-20/releases/20200305twomuu

March 8, 20205 yr well a win tomorrow and maybe it is time to let go of the ripcord for a bit the LSU loss just sucked because it was LSU and 1 point, but they are a pretty good team generally the Missouri loss was a shit loss they fucking suck, but sometimes you have those on baseball the Arizona loss was pretty much shit too they do not look good but Texas is still 12-3 with a chance to sweet CSF tomorrow and be 13-3 and that is not terrible and sure some of the wins are not against great teams, but when they were scheduled they were probably looking a lot better that is just the breaks there is still a lot of time in the season with a lot of top level competition to play and see where Texas really stands

March 8, 20205 yr Yeah, our losses so far are within the variance that is baseball. Still pretty early to tell anything. Our bats don't seem to be anything to write home about, but they come alive more than once every nine innings, so that's nice.
March 9, 20205 yr Why the f can’t the official baseball Twitter acct show game video of big hits as opposed to that slo mo field level cam where you don’t even see the ball

Just hoping to see improvement as the season progresses... older players aren't as talented as the younger ones. Got to keep bringing in better talent and upgrade pitching!!

We were getting it done short-handed against a murderers row of a schedule last year until conference. Conference play is the judgement that faces this team.
March 9, 20205 yr Author Elder/Hansen/Madden rotation, please. Also, Powell has to DH every day against RHP until he cools off.

March 10, 20205 yr Austin bans events where 2500 people might gather. Does that mean no fans at baseball going forward?
