    Just to get a little different discussion out there. I’ll attempt to turn it into a little more college and less Texas sucks. FSU is #1 in RPI. 4-0 in quadrant 1. No games in Q2. 8-0 in Q3. 7-0 in Q4. Baylor is 0-8 in Q1. 4-4 in Q2. 0-1 in Q3. 4-0 in Q4. OU is #4 in RPI with a 14-7 record. Only 1 Q4 game. UCF is #11 with a 2-5 conference record. Only 2 Q4 games. Then you have TCU with their 2-5 conference record. TCU is undefeated in non-conference but is 9-0 in Q4 games. Quick count had 5 SEC with 9 or more Q4 games. The Big 12 had Tech and WVU with 9 or more. Texas is #54. Only 2 Q4 games. OU is the only team with 1 Q4 game in the top 54. There are only 3 others with 2 Q4 games. Only 5 others with less than 5 Q4 games. The Big 12 is 3rd in RPI and currently closer to 2nd (ACC) than 4th (PAC). The Big 12 isn’t weak but some do not play the Q4 teams that other conferences have loaded up on.

    I’d wager if you win every conference series you are at least top 3 in conference.

    Besides @HenryJames is on premises. This one’s a lock.

    Fletcher, you’re not supposed to play the role of negativity.

    Works for me. Maybe it’s Ace one time through then Witt to finish em.
  6. Had Enough
    Wonder where Witt fits into the plan now.
  7. Had Enough
    He needs to lock in better no doubt. He did start a bit slow last year too. Not that they are the same caliber player but guys like Antico and Campbell got off to poor starts too. Ultimately, just win. Whatever that takes. If we’re relying on a bottom of the order guy to do that, we’re in trouble.

    I’m speaking more in the sense of natural and fluid that lefties often have. To go along with the launch angle. Until DP tells me personally I believe he values the extra power. I’d say his swing is better than his discipline and approach at this point. But I’ll save my arguing for other points.

    Define reasonable. Baseball is a numbers game so it shouldn’t be difficult. A bit of randomness so I looked up 2021 Vandy. The top 8 Vandy hitters in terms of ABs from that season. Jacks 2023 season would have ranked 4th in average, 5th in slugging. Same for Mississippi State that year. 2021 Texas puts him 5th and 4th. All 3 teams were quite good. Perfect Game had Jack O as the 96th ranked player. Vandy brought him on. He’s got a good swing so it shouldn’t be a surprise that DP has hopes for him. He certainly needs to be more disciplined but DP also values pop so aggression may be rewarded.

    .284 and an OPS of near .800 in his only full season. 10-30, 3 HRs, 6 RBIs last post season. For me, that’s reasonable.

    Baseball players for over a century have run hot and cold. Even the very best. My point is that it does not have to be all or nothing. You don’t want Jack hitting.200, but you don’t want Kennedy hitting like Flores last year either. If you keep them both engaged, then you have an opportunity for them both to be productive. And we’re not playing for next year so you’re advocating dropping a guy that’s produced to a reasonable level for a full season and some in the postseason for what you hope might happen with a guy that’s never done it. Like him or not Pierce has a baseline understanding of what a capable hitter looks like. We don’t have guys playing that don’t meet a certain minimum.

    I don’t need you to tell me anything. He’s done enough to earn more PT. I’m pro-rotation and keeping guys engaged. Play matchups. Play the hot bat.
  13. Had Enough
    Alright. Guess a dude that hit around .300 last post season with some pop should not see the field. Got it. I’m not sure Gasparino stays down there but who knows.
  14. Had Enough
    What does your ideal bottom of the order look like?
  15. Had Enough
    I’d just like to say without Jack Os RBI in late innings we don’t win last night.
  16. Had Enough
    Yeah not a knock on Farmer but more in relation to his production to date. Difficult to find consistency with sporadic play particularly at the plate. DP hasn’t been a huge rotation guy so we’ll see if that changes a bit.
  17. Had Enough
    So you’re saying the Texas resurgence begins tonight?
  18. Had Enough
    Yeah maybe. Marlin was a classification or maybe two above Mart, but they did have similar type guys. Not sure when Marlin dropped down. We’re talking a span of 30 years or so in my mind so things are a bit distorted.
  19. Had Enough
    I can’t speak to that specifically. If I had to label a program as underachieving through the years, Marlin would probably rank fairly high. Course part of my experience with that is from years ago. The smaller schools around Waco produce some good athletes.
  20. Had Enough
    They have a losing record against St John’s, Stetson, Jacksonville and UCF.
  21. Had Enough
    Let’s look at it on a percentage basis. We outscored UW 33% and AF 20%. Is that really scraping by? Pretty sure we all take that return on our investment portfolio for a days work.
  22. Had Enough
    It’s a midweek game in a week with 5 games. Brown and Belyeu got a rest. Farmer hasn’t shown any better. You would shit yourself if Jack was in the 2 hole. You drop Powell a spot. Add you a little speed at the top of the order and there you have your lineup.
  23. Had Enough
    All these Marlin kids have BO&W just shittin all in his pants.
  24. Had Enough
    Pretty poor tag as well.
  25. Had Enough
    That’s a long way to hit a ball off a tee. I wonder what’s a reasonable distance to hit one off a tee.
