These guys for Tech are the biggest fucking losers lol

Par for the weekend. Tech sucked some serious dick this weekend to get this much love from the baseball gods

Pierce just out-Augie’d Augie, and not in a good way. At least Mitch did his job

This team reminds me of the '05 team. If Pierce can get this team to Omaha they will win the whole fucking thing, but like the '05 team it is probably going to be a bumpy ride filled with a lot of nail biting. And if they do get there they sure as hell will be the most battered and tested team there. You aren't going to find many preseason #1 teams that play 15 of their first 26 games on the road. You can argue it was borderline stupid but we have without a doubt played the toughest schedule in the country and if we salvage a win tomorrow will have gone 19-7. Most would have taken that, at least I would have. There are 2 teams on our schedule with a below .500 record, Central Arkansas and Rice. ETA: We have a 7-2 win over a team that is 20-1 and seemingly beating the fuck out of everybody they play.

We are going to find out whether Pierce is the man for the job starting today, gotta pick up the pieces from today. Everything is still in front of them.

Nobody can predict a comeback like this but people get way to worked up from game to game

I’d just like to see this team battle back today. Outcome of this series is insignificant in terms of accomplishing the ultimate goal of winning a national championship.

Yep. It’s gotta be pretty much no walks, constantly ahead, and then even then if the ball isn’t finding a glove there is nothing he can do

Yes it is who Tristan is, he pitches to contact. When it doesn’t find gloves he’s in trouble. He barely survived 3.1 against Tennessee in Omaha giving up 4 runs and it took spectacular defense for him to just survive those 3.

Did I say it was good? He’s a contact pitcher and the contact wasn’t finding gloves. On top of that he was getting behind.

He just did in a 1-2 count and it was smoked to right center. This is who Tristan is when the balls are finding holes

You are right

By this logic no coach has any impact. Outside of football, arguably the biggest impact a coach has on the game is his ability to instill belief in his team no matter the situation. Was Scott Drew doing anything differently when Baylor was down 25? Did Scott hit any of those jumpers?

This team is fine offensively other than the fact we didn't have an explosive guard (i.e. Isaiah Taylor) to get in the lane and create for others. Isaiah Taylor would have had Edey in foul trouble tonight but it is what is. Time to go recruit in the portal

Its criminal, no other way to put it. We all understand that the way we played offensively and their size was going to lead to them shooting more free throws; however, under no circumstance should there ever be a differential of 34.

46 FTs for Purdue to 12 for Texas... lol

Does Murphy still have another year because of Covid?

That 2B for UIW is horrible

So is Texas a top 20 baseball team again?

If I was Pierce the lineup pretty much is what it is as far as the 9 guys you are going to have to roll with the rest of the season. At this point you have to get Daly going, just all there is to it. Last year Daly was arguably the best gap to gap hitter on the team IMO. Was 4th on the team in doubles and struck out fewer times (41) than everyone but Antico. If it were me, I'd swap Eric and Doug at the top, Hodo strikes out to much to be leading off. I'd bat Daly 3rd in front of Ivan (I know he's hitting .190) because he will see a lot of fastballs which is only going to benefit him and the way he likes to hit. Stehly 5th, then after that its Trey/Silas (6th/7th), each has their pros and cons, Messinger 8th, and Dylan 9th. Just pray that Daly finds his 2021 form. Also please give Southard a start Pierce.. In 13.2 IP in his career he's given up 5 H, 10 BB, 23 Ks, 0 ER. We've seen everybody under the sun out of the back of the bullpen and they just about all have issues finding the strikezone. Let's give the guy who's at least got the stuff to work around the control issues a chance.

Just infuriating that he fucking ran Blair out onto the mound. Games not over but doing that is just a kick in the nuts to the psyche of your team because everyone in the stadium knows he sucks

Mitchell literally looked like he was about to cry after that strikeout.

Pierce's biggest Achilles is consistently trotting guys out there that have no business being out there at the expense of the team. Did it all 2019 with Kameron Fields and basically torpedoed that entire season trying to make him a closer. Witnessing it again

Pierce does not have one of those in him

Pussies is what we are. I will say I feel absolutely comfortable saying that this team is not as good as last years. Not even close and that was before Witt/Todd went down. Just a down year in college baseball with a lot of injuries.
