  1. It’s a recipe for an unpredictable outcome. We could see them go 0-2, 3-0, or anywhere in between at regionals. None of those results would really shock me but we just don’t know which team is going to show up.
  2. Right. 7-5 = 12 games which is 3 games for each series. We won 3 of the 4 series on the road (3-1). That’s not trash. I also wouldn’t plug the 3 losses at a neutral site which is why I said 10-7. Forgot to add you @MuellerHorn my bad
  3. 10-7 overall but were 3-1 on the road in conference play. Not necessarily trash.
  4. Dirk?? Like THE Dirk?
  5. I’ve always understood the criticism of the prequels and the duels, but to me we’re watching Jedi with superpowers and the way they duel each other is akin to chess grandmasters. Both know the opening lines, memorized puzzles and endgames. It’s not till one blunders or makes an out of character move that we see a tilt in the direction of who will win. And besides if they were trying to make it real, they would duel much closer to fencing no matter the age, experience or current body situation (Vader).
  6. Correct. I just want those guys to give more than what they’ve given us. Not really asking for them to be world beaters but competent at the plate.
  7. We really don’t have an offensive answer and that’s the problem.

    Oh yeah I agree about there being limited justification for Flores in terms of playing time. I just think that if Flores did well early it would have impacted Daly more than Thomas.

    The Flores option of him being good out the gate makes sense until Pierce moves him over to short, Thomas back to first and Powell/Carlson to third/DH.

    He was a goofy motherfucker on first in the beginning but I think Pierce saw something. He also saw a bunch of lefties out the gate which wasn’t the best situation for freshman to be in.
  11. Ace, Ace in your face! Nice series win. Unusual outing for Gordon but LBJ and Sthele stepped up. For the most part I think Dre did good but I’m still going to be nervous when he’s in. And Pierce for the love of god keep GG behind the plate at all times for conference games.
  12. Yeah that’s on Pierce
  13. Oof, that’s not good.
  14. Does anyone know if there is still accessible seating available for Austin?
  15. Kopps was the Arkansas pitcher that won the golden spikes award because he basically carried the entire bullpen all the way to the supers.
  16. Wasn’t able to watch it live but holy shit he smoked him. Makes it even better it was Brown that threw him out. Excited to see Witt tomorrow and let’s get the sweep!
  17. He’s done everything imo in the first part of your question with the caveat that in-game management being subjective in its nature. That’s one of those things where a coach is criticized when it goes wrong and usually doesn’t hear anything when it goes right. The latter part of your question is a bit confusing. He’s hosted 3 regionals, was a 2 seed in Long Beach (first year), Covid season was a cancelled and then the forgettable 2019. In one of those regionals we were the #2 overall seed in the tournament and finished 3rd in the CWS. You just don’t stumble into regionals and walk away with a win. Ask Florida and Ole Miss what it feels like when you host a regional and lose to tens like Tennessee tech and USF.
  18. I forgot that getting swept one series in conference play defines a coach that has been to the World Series 3 times in six years. Some of you have got to chill on the “Pierce isn’t the guy” every time something doesn’t go your way. The series sweep was unacceptable and should not have happened, but it did and that’s the way baseball rolls sometimes. Based off of Pierce’s attitude during the postgame press conference, this team and staff understand the level of expectations for this program.
  19. Looks like Jeff deleted the tweet
  20. Sure walking the bases loaded isn’t ideal but I’m almost positive Pierce or the pitching coach can’t hold GG’s hand and catch the ball for him. That’s two runs on our catcher…not being able to catch.
  21. The team including the coaches need to reset. The Baylor series wasn’t the prettiest either and it leaked over to this weekend. It’s not the end of the world and our pitching coach is not the problem considering what he’s got this limited staff to do already. If they get their shit together and keep competing for the conference title, the post season should be an exciting one. Pierce’s teams usually show up in the postseason.
  22. Good stuff man, hat tip to you.
  23. If what they’re building with Grogu is in fact extracting blood from extremely force sensitive beings and trying to produce clones, then it would make Grogu very connected to the sequel trilogy. I dunno, I don’t see Grogu as a gimmick but rather an important character to the overarching story that just happens to be easily marketable. With that said, Boba felt incomplete and the criticisms that come with it have validity to them.
