Pierce ain't the guy.

Maybe, but he's going to be at Texas for awhile.

[orangecat92 306]

Gave it a great ride.  Went further than everybody expected.  Sometimes coaches get in the way.  Hard to understand.

Fire Pierce tonight!

No.  He needs to hear it and he needs to change, but firing him would be monstrously idiotic.

[Braff Zacklin 13,573]

Damn. Tough loss.

But a great series and a great season overall.

Hats off to MSU, @msudawg, and other Bulldog fans. Y'all have a very good team. Good pitching and solid hitting--tough to get out and seem even tougher with two strikes. I'll be pulling for y'all versus Vandy.

🤘

[Captainant 27,669]

Poor management again. Shoulda changed pitchers

[WBT 20,572]

Losing the 1st one is just so brutal.  Pushing them to the limit after that is nothing to hang your head about.

That 1st game man...the bats not showing up ready, a leadoff walk, and a misplayed pop fly down the line.  The margins are so slim.

[Guest Lobo]

I think that pinch runner for MSU hasn't been vaccinated  

Shitty ending for one of the all-time great Longhorn teams.  25 years of deeply following UT baseball with season tickets and four Omaha trips...this was the best Longhorn team to not win it all that I've ever seen.  Sorry fellas for how it ended.  No reason this team needs to wait 3 years to get back though.  They should be back there in 50 weeks time.  

[Horn80 6,122]

Great season Horns.

[Both Tacos 1,806]

FUCK SEC

[perfectchaos007 6,642]

Shut up you SECSEC mouthbreather

[chemHORN 1,239]

Wtf were we not the home team?  I will never understand that.

[Herpa Derpa 6,126]

Got a young core that never quits. We'll be back.

[GreenspointTexas 9,602]

We arent firing pierce. Congrats to msu. Made it farther than i thought after 0-3 start in arlington

l was a Pierce advocate, not anymore. Time for a new skipper.

You guys have got to be fucking kidding me. We finally have an offense again and you fuckers wanna blow it all up?

 When you go through the losers bracket you just have to use too many pitchers. Just ran out of arms. Good season. 

That’s not remotely what happened. We had plenty of arms we just chose, two days in a row, to leave someone in too long 

[orangecat92 306]

Miss. St. needs to beat 'nova no doubt. 

[Cajun 11,705]

I'm as pissed at Pierce as anyone, but you dumbasses calling for his head need to not reproduce.

Ever.

[Js1 85,337]

Fuck y’all pulling for MSU. I hope the whole state of Nebraska gets hit by an asteroid, nuked and then sinks into the Earth’s core once we depart 

[NeverMarryAStripper 21,907]

Pierce left Colein two batters too long what a moron and what kind of idiot leaves Ardoin behind the plate

Welp. Fuck.

Pretty good season, yet I still feel unfulfilled.

That’s being a Texas fan. Nothing but all of it matters.  But we had a hell of a week watching this team grind with the best of them. CWS is the best sporting event and it’s an amazing experience to watch Texas run.  We will be back, we will win it all, it’s what we do. We will never be the “could this year be our year team” we are still The University of Texas at Omaha.

and in a 1-2 count.

[Mdhorn 5,949]

Welp, Texas lost a game they never trailed and managed to instead of strike a guy out, put him on base and then fuck up the throw to second on the steal.  Two blunders bit them in the ass late.

[freyguy 4,272]

We need to stop leaving so many dudes on base.

[WBT 20,572]

You run out of arms when you're in the losers bracket you mouth breathers.  If we pull Stevens earlier, Quintanilla eventually gives up a run or has to be pulled before the 9th and then....?

Agreed. I’ve come around on him a lot this season but he still makes routine mistakes that the greats just didn’t. He needs to fix it but he needs to stay.

[dcar00 14,210]

how the hell do you not walk him.

[TwiceHorn 31,471]

This was an offensively inadequate team. Yet we had some scrap that I haven't seen in a long time.

I don't know what to make of Pierce.  I think he should let the PC make the calls on pitching, though.  And stop coaching third.

[4th&Five 41,552]

I’ll root for Vandy…but won’t be watching. 
 

Congrats aggy.

We had no one in the bullpen other than CQ, you want to put in fucking gordon?

[UTEX_ME 4,762]

3 more wins and another trip. Still Kings of Omaha. Here’s to MSU getting swept.  We will be back with more experience next year

Great season Horns.  Congrats DAWG.

What a game.

 

lot of this. UT lost to a good team. two teams going at one another, went down to the last pitch, 3 games. very good season for the horns

I mean it was Rhetorical.  I know the answer.  It just makes no sense.

[troph 24,798]

Oh yeah God was with you Leggett, arrogant prick I hate the God believers like he hates Cole or some shit. Get outta here with that crap. It’s arrogant as hell.

[ztejas 43,449]

@Henry Hill nice double neg fuckhead. This team's strength all year has been arms and defense. We've gotten out of jams all season. That isn't a "big break" that's the baseball that we have played for 60 games now.

Do you really think we didn’t have more arms? Know how I know you haven’t watched this team all year?

[Wishbone 4,760]

Losing the first game in Omaha is almost guaranteed death by Bundha. We are one of the few programs that has a fighting chance of pulling it off. We made a good run at it.

[GreenspointTexas 9,602]

First time in 47 games we have lost when leading after 6

[OU Sucks 8,820]

Bunch of brainiacs saying to fire DP need to never post in the baseball forum again.  At the end of the day, we were essentially a coin flip away from making it.

this.  Pierce is OK but our hitting needs to improve big time.

Yep.  He's still learning, which is a bit disconcerting, but the dude has built this program back big time.  Some of his behaviors need to change and if they don't then I will join in on the "get rid of him" chorus.

[Bigbend1812 12,915]

Hook 'em!

We have lots of pretty good arms.  Would they save the day?  Who fucking knows.  

But he left two pitchers in too long, one way too long.  

[hayden_horn 11,362]

watch more pitches. nobody wins anything by watching pitches
