Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
I would sure hope we donāt have Galvan behind the plate tonight and I wouldnāt be opposed to a full day off. Also may not be a bad idea to give Mendoza and Rodriguez full days off to rest what they are dealing with/playing through.

Burns was a starter last year, but only for about five starts before going down with a season-ending arm injury. Don't mess with a good thing. His stuff seems to play way better in short stints. You rob Peter to pay Paul if you force him into a Sunday spot. What if you have to use Grubbs and Volantis on a Friday? You know Harrison ain't giving you more than about 5 innings in a game 2 and if Burns is starting game 3 you are then asking Grayson Saunier or Duplantier to be the primary relief arm on a Saturday. Not ideal.

Letās tap the brakes. Congrats to Duplantier on 3 hits on the weekend (one which was a bunt with no one covering first base). He is still hitting .138 in SEC play. Duplantier is out when Williams is back, and whoever has cooled off between Williams or Borba is likely out whenever Belyeu is ready hopefully in a few weeks. If they both happen to be hot, what a great problem to have and we will get creative with whoever is scuffling at that time. Rodriguez has also been pretty meh defensively at third base so not sure why we would be eager to stick him back over there with a bruised hand. He is probably most likely out of anyone to slide back to DH once Mendoza can play the field again.

2025 SEC Baseball Thread
Reading some names being thrown around for MSU, and I didn't realize Nick Mingione (Kentucky head coach) was a long-time assistant at Mississippi State before going to Lexington. That one could make sense. Cliff Godwin is another one but I'm wondering if he stayed too long at ECU. They are about to miss the tournament this year, and he has commented over the years about being extremely anti-NIL and portal, which won't fly at an SEC school.

Feels like there is very little benefit to firing a guy at this point in the season. It would be hilarious if the interim takes them on a run and they are competitive or win a regional. Every AD's worst nightmare, but you crack open that door when you make a decision like this.

Wow, they didn't even let him finish out the season. It is a good job with a lot of support. If I recall correctly, they almost hired Schloss back in 2018, but their AD couldn't get it across the finish line.

I stand by what I said about the Tuesday game being pointless and only having downside, but will admit I was probably overdoing it with the RPI stuff. The quick turnaround to a Thursday start at Arkansas also isn't ideal. Going forward, just leave these games off the schedule. We used to schedule Texas Southern every year under Pierce and even he stopped doing that regularly because it just accomplishes nothing. There are other in-state schools we didn't schedule this year (Rice, SFA, ACU, Tarleton). Add one of those to the schedule. Yeah it's a cool experience for the SWAC schools to play at the Disch but it's not our job to provide fun for them.

Feels like A&M is going to try to do something stupid today to draw us offsides. Last thing we need is multiple guys getting tossed because they throw at Gasparino and we lose our composure. A&M has already lost the series and their only chance to get the last laugh is to hurt us in the long run with ejections/suspensions.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
The guy has missed significant time with injury 4 seasons in a row dating back to HS. Hard to invest premium capital in a player who couldnāt survive 12 games at the college and HS level and expect him to hold up against bigger and faster defenses as a pocket QB in the NFL. The physical traits and stuff you see on film has been beaten to death in here, but the injury history probably served as the tiebreaker in a lot of draft rooms when you are comparing him to some of the QBās who went after Shedeur.

If you are Caden Sorrell or Grahovac, how can you have any confidence that your coaches are going to maximize you in your draft year after next year seeing what is happening to Kash, Laviolette, Kent, etc. I forgot Hayden Schott was even on that team and the dude lead the team in batting average and hits last year. He isnāt even a starter this year he has been hitting so poorly.- Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
I donāt think Mendoza has the arm strength for SS, plus this shoulder injury popping up that he had to have surgery on in HS doesnāt give me the warm fuzzies. Carson Luna is really the only true SS we have on this roster (Flores is a 3B playing SS), and he is redshirting so tough to know what we have. And our only SS signee in this class is about to be a first round pick in a few months. Catcher and SS are both positions we likely need portal additions, even if they are just floor raisers and not superstars.- Texas A&M @ Texas Series Thread

Schloss has done a good job of evolving over the years and Iām sure the fact he is older has helped, but he has toned it down quite a bit compared to some of the stories you heard during his TCU days. Cain and Weiner complement him well as good cops. I sure hope we can keep this staff together for at least a few years. - Texas A&M @ Texas Series Thread
