Yes. As usual, Pierce had us playin our best ball come May and June. Cooper, Kingham, Johnston, Kennedy, shugart and ridgeway was a damn salty staff. Kacy, Boswell, Jones, Hamilton, Todd, Kody, Mathis, Gurwitz, Reynolds and even Cantu and McCann were a bitch of a lineup. Yeah Cantu and McCann weren’t our standard, but McCann was average enough defensively and a solid contact hitter. Cantu could pound the ball every now and then. Our defense was really solid that year and Kacy, Boswell, Todd, Reynolds, Jones, Shaw; McCann and at times, Cantu killed it at the plate.
We got fucked being sent out west. We should’ve been in Baton Rouge or Southern miss or Gainesville. Feel like we would’ve won any of those regionals easily. Shit we should’ve won the Long Beach regional and I think we matched up well with Fullerton. If we had say, Tres, DJ, Silas or even fucking Jacob felts at catcher, we would’ve gone to Omaha. Fuck it. Whatever. This is the best staff we’ve had since Augie, Harmon and skip. We’ve gone to Omaha 3 of the last 4 full years. We significantly upgraded our pitching coach and Rodriguez is a badass hire. And tulo is still gonna be around the program. Y’all ready for some 02-‘14 action? It’s coming. The program from Gus and his dudes to Huston and the Augie dudes all hanging around the program. The whole Texas baseball family is aligned. Y’all ready for some more Omaha trips and a few dog piles? The next 10 years are gonna be 2000-2014 all over again, but with a couple more dog piles thrown in. I’m beyond fucking ready
