Yeah my thought process is we need as many runs as possible. Our bullpen with this kitty park is a scary thought if we’re only up a couple runs.

I wouldn’t have bunted there but I’ll take it. Nice

Need the 7th from him.

Wonderful at bats. Every single one was productive.

The tech short stop is giving me Daly flashbacks. Yikes.

Half the time we’re scared to challenge the hitter when it’s a favorable count.

My personal favorite is “brown pokes one into left”.

Lummus is alive.

Gasparino couldn’t get out of the way in time and so he did the right thing to brace for impact.

I dunno maybe get out of the baseline when a 6’6 guy is coming your way?

I’m about 30% through Dune right now and I’m loving it so far. The dinner scene and the subplot of Hawat thinking Jessica could be the traitor would have been nice to see play out in the movie. I think it would have given both more depth in Dune part 1, especially when Jessica confronts Hawat about him thinking she could betray Leto.

No no no no yes

Porter just poked the ball. These guys are horrible

Yeah. I believe they swapped since Hurley threw on Tuesday.

“Personal leave of absence” is a lot different than no longer with the team.

I’m going to assume he didn’t travel with the team and word just got out?

We’re gonna get squeezed like hell in conference play.

Galvan needs to get that thumb healed enough where he can catch asap.

Nice to see Yuki come back strong in qualifying.

I’m a dumbass. I kept clicking on timing and not TV.

Can you not stream FP2 on F1 TV? It’s only showing live timing.

Whether we like it or not, results matter even if you find it has been done in a “ugly” way. @ClubWhatever is correct with every coach having a price. But on the flip side is the current situation they find themselves in. A coach is going to up and leave for a program that just fired their coach that had a 50% success rate of making it to the CWS? I’m not saying that it can’t be done because it has in the past. It is just incredibly difficult to pull off and the right things need to happen outside of Texas’ control in order to get the desired upgrade. Schloss is more notorious for being a dick than Pierce, and it’s a big reason why he was open to leaving. The stars happened to align just right for Aggie to come in and give him the right price and a new admin to work for. I don’t think they get Schloss if things were on better standing between him and tcu administration. The non-institutional support would change how things are looked at. Most can get by with a coach being hard to work for with Schloss, Tadlock etc being good examples. But if he’s the same way with the admin and that is trickling down to NIL, then that’s a problem.

Not necessarily. I don’t follow basketball much but keeping Terry on after he’s shown no ability to be an elite coach at previous stops other than doing it for half a season with another coaches players is entirely different. 3 CWS, a super and regional is only something Terry could dream of accomplishing in basketball terms. Why there is even a comparison of situations between Terry and Pierce is absolutely laughable. And I didn’t say 3 years of comfortably for Pierce and if the team continues playing like shit then next year his seat will be hot, not comfortable.

CDC isn’t going to fire him this year. It’s reasonable to think that firing Pierce this year, after making a super last year and then making the CWS in ‘21-‘22, would turn off any coach worth a damn. The only way it happens is he continues to shit the bed and a) Pierce does something off the field a la beard or b) a top 5-10 coach in the country isn’t happy and has made it known to CDC he wants to leave by seasons end. That’s it. Option B seems like it could happen with what Schloss did to Tcu but that’s rare and shouldn’t be counted on. The quickest and most logical route to Pierce being fired is continuing the downward trajectory this year and carrying it over into next year.
