  1. Seems like those pitches back to back were same spot but one ball and one strike
  2. Canady doesn’t seem as explosive off the mound this inning
  3. Jeeez that was closer than it should have been with the double clutch
  4. I think it depends on their age or birthday….something like that
  5. Blake Alright yall, first lets get these out of the way before moving onto who I'd take and why. I asked numerous people about the names you've seen a million fans say on message boards and social media. 1. Tulo (Director of Player Development / Texas) - Not happening. Not because they don't like him or because he doesn't know his stuff. It's just that he doesn't have experience. More on that later. 2. Jay Johnson (LSU) - You can't money whip him. He has it made at LSU. No. 1 NIL program in the nation that rivals some schools football programs. He ain't leaving. 3. Tim Corbin (Vanderbilt) - Very comfortable at Vandy and he loves it there. He's the man there. He ain't leaving. 4. Brian O'Connor (Virginia) - No, not Paul Walker's (RIP) character from Fast and Furious. The Virginia coach. I've seen so many people name O'Connor as a replacement. While he didn't graduate a Cav, O'Connor has been there since 2004. That's longer than a handful of people on this board have been alive. He is VERY settled in there, as anyone would be who's been in the same place for 20 years. He will retire from there. 5. Dan Heefner (Dallas Baptist) - Not a fit at Texas, mainly for (his own) personal reasons. His coaching style (players in bed by 9 PM, can't leave dorm) doesn't connect with a lot of recruits. I know of one recruit recently offered there and he personally told me that "their rules are stricter than anywhere else I've ever been in my life. No thanks. Not even visiting because of that." He's a phenomenal coach, but it's just not the right one for the Longhorns. 6. Random JUCO/D3/D2 guy who has a phenomenal record and wins - Not happening. Coaching JUCO ball is so different than major D1 baseball. Deer in the headlights type reactions would be expected. Texas wants a few things with this hire from what I'm told. 1. A proven winner. 2. A proven developer. 3. A fiery guy who connects with the players, recruits and the fans. 4. A guy with experience coaching high D1 level baseball who can navigate those waters and navigate them well. im no expert but that 4 line item description of wants sounds an awful lot like Vitello
  6. That graphic with the inside the park tracking is hilarious
