  1. I'm team Alberto but I kind of want to get one of those FG tools and just do it inside before going out.
  2. That's really poor form. And yea there needs to be lots of parents out there helping. Are y'all on an email list? I'd just politely ask for more help. Like Kent Murphy says- "You ain't doin right by these kids!"
  3. We are having a great season. Im coaching my 5 year olds coach pitch team and having a blast. The kids are always so fired up. So fun. My first grader is playing midget out at SBSMA. He works his tail off. He's all in and cant get enough baseball, which was my only goal for him (to get the bug). He's batting .680 but most of his outs were in the first two games. They've moved him up to the first batter right after the second graders and he has a boat load of RBIs. Curious to get y'all's thoughts. I got them a rope bat last week and I really think Ive seen a quick change in their swings. It's been tough to get them to get their hips through and now they're swinging hard and getting a full twist. Anyone else used it?
  4. Really fighting my shitty fan urge to hope we crater all the way and flush Pierce out.
  5. I asked a former player who is still involved with the program what he thinks about the Pierce situation. He rattled off about a dozen talking points as if he had been waiting for someone to ask him. Most notable ones for me were that his players don't like him and his coaches really don't like him. He said everyone knew the score once Williams and Tulo were gone. This guy said he didn't know anything about plans to make a change but that he wouldn't be surprised just because so many people around the program dislike him.
  6. If they're in our system it still counts as a win for us?
  7. Glad the ribs popped for you too. They knocked my socks off. Just by your picture I can tell your brisket is far superior to what I was served. Probably just got some from a bad brisket.
  8. Btw the Reuben that Roegel's does on Thursdays is phenomenal. It's huge though. Good to split with someone.
  9. I wanted to. I bet if I would've taken a gummy beforehand I would've made the call, but I was too curious about how they stacked up to the other spots I really like.
  10. Brisket and sausage were mediocre. Those ribs make me happy just thinking about them.
  11. Had the babybacks at Stanleys in Tyler last weekend. Best babybacks Ive ever had. Maybe best rib Ive ever had. Phenomenal.
  12. Really happy with my 7yo's coaches. Good dudes who dont act like dipshits and are committed to helping these kids develop baseball skills. They've been getting my kid some time at 2nd where he doesnt quite belong yet and he's already made some big strides, really helped with his confidence. Hes transferring his weight nicely on his swing, just working on timing and staying back. Most importantly he has the baseball bug and he's got a great attitude. Feels good seeing him make a jump before the season has even started. I guess corching really does matter.
  13. Thats what you do against a&m?
  14. I feel like every year I think Pierce isnt the guy, then he makes me eat those words, then at the very end of the season I'm just confused.
  15. I'm well aware. We have way more alumni here. Our program got alpha'd yesterday. They circled our game, showed up in droves, and stayed loud the whole time. Huge matchup against the defending champs in our backyard and we couldnt bother to show up. I dont feel like we should take a back seat to anybody. We've got the numbers, the resources, the history, everything. We clearly can't match the passion of a lot of the fan bases we are about to go against and I think it sucks. I bought season tickets for years when I lived in Austin, been to Omaha multiple times, throw in for baseball NIL. Baseball is the only sport of the Big 3 where we can claim very top tier status. I get LSU fans are nuts about baseball, thats great. Should've been 60/40 LSU to Texas. I really dont know what the splits was. 80/20 at best. Maybe I havent been paying attention. Are we just ceding the territory to them bc they have Marucci $$$?
  16. We got dog walked. Wasn't great but it is what it is because Holman is lights out and that very well may be the best team in the country. What really bothered me is we were out numbered what felt like about 7 to 1. They outclassed us big time as a fan base and a program. This was in Houston Texas, and I could tell they reveled in having a home game atmosphere in our state. Pissed me off.
  17. Any idea what time we will start?
  18. What are the odds they leave the roof open for tonight?
  19. Even on LHN's assfuck blurvision you could see the pellets fly up on the line.
  20. Yes, that does me make me feel a little better.
  21. Had our first practice on Saturday. We are all huddled around and our coach is doing a head count, we are missing one kid. Three of our kids are from a different school and none of us know them. As we are talking about who the missing kid is, this big jacked up dual exhaust truck comes tearing ass through the parking lot. Driving about 10x too fast with little kids and families entering and exiting cars. Our coach joked he hopes thats not him, and sure enough it parks right in front of our field. Dad gets out with a full leg and arm tat sleeve wearing white frame oakleys. Kid gets out wearing..........an OU hat and shirt. All I could think was some stereotypes exist for a reason.
