  1. There’s a nonzero chance Pierce fakes a corona outbreak tomorrow
  2. Couldn’t have said it better myself. What a mess of a season with better talent than I’ve ever seen 1-6
  3. Early season embarrassments tend to be good for Pierce teams, but what a joke of a weekend. Tomorrow is going to be hell too with the shape the bullpen is in.
  4. Very publicly exposing warts early on is valuable, if not embarrassing. Just wait until Tuesday when atm hangs 20 on our shit arms
  5. Every coach recruiting against Pierce for pitchers is going to point to the frequency of TJ surgeries and his post-surgery handling of these guys. At some point it isn’t luck and he’s hanging guys out to dry that aren’t ready.
  6. Adjust for competition. We don’t get to play St John’s and HBU in pro parks. We’re probably about .500 in non conference series vs high quality teams.
  7. It's too nice of a day to watch this
  8. He has some crazy stuff if he could find the zone. The 2 seamer and slider have so much movement
  9. Feels like every hbp comes in 2 strike count
  10. They celebrated like they won it all yesterday. Get used to it
  11. How did we get so bad at doubles this year? Figured that would be an automatic point pretty much all year
  12. 2 years ago to the weekend was Witt’s scratched start vs UCLA in Houston where he was shut down before surgery. I’ve been as pessimistic as can be about his return, but it was great to see him in a high leverage situation last night. He is the single biggest ceiling raiser for this team if he can keep progressing.
  13. This isn’t new. We were ranked #1 2 years ago and they still dwarfed us in Houston. Arkansas dwarfs us in Arlington. We’re always under-represented in Omaha. The majority of orange in Omaha is player parents. It’s okay to admit that there’s a handful of SEC programs with significantly larger and more loyal baseball fanbases than ours. Im excited for the SEC move to wake some people up and change that.
  14. We’ve been an Omaha losers bracket level program for 8 years. Which is fine, better than it was the 8 years before that. Pierce has built flawed rosters and coached them up well. We see an elite arm 3-4 times a year and lose miserably. Win most of the others. The horribly recruiting over the past few years looks to be reversing course. Hitting big on this next class and giving them time to mature is how the program takes the next step. Until then, we’ll still be in the mix to host postseason baseball every year
  15. Shugart got the save in the regional final, yep. Couple huge Ks. That month of baseball was some of my favorite ever. The series win at Tech (3 Kody HRs). The sweep vs TCU to win the conference (3 Kody HRs) on the last weekend of the regular season. The regional win (2 Kody HRs vs Atm). The supers comeback (3 Kody HRs). I can’t seem to remember what happened after that…
  16. I’d probably take the 2022 team over this one, especially before the Witt scratch in Houston. We were undefeated. Pete had just out-dueled Burns. Stevens had an elite start vs LSU. Witt was 2-0 I said it before, but the Houston/Arlington split plays so much into how non-conference Feb/March is perceived. In even years, we get a few weekends to get in a groove and February feels great. Odd years we get thrashed opening weekend and it makes Pierce look like a genius when the team figures it out down the line.
  17. What a fucking bullet lol
  18. Come on Gaspo!!
  19. If we dick around with Harrison/Witt for too long that could be an L. They went into Gainesville and won on a Friday night. Mixed bag vs Coog. Seem to have some big bats. They haven’t played a midweek yet so no clue how their pitching is
  20. It’ll be interesting to see if Thatcher Hurd gets the ball on Friday. That game feels winnable. Vandy looks meh. T State is getting humbled this weekend. Anything less than 2-1 would be a failure
  21. The LHN twitter account made it clear that their hands are tied. Likely an ESPN contract thing
  22. Stream the game yourself for us
