2019 Texas Baseball Thread

[Machinator 32,099]

Thinking a little bit more about it, I liked what I saw from Bocchi and could definitely see him start. We have enough promising arms between the freshmen and other returners to find a Sunday starter.

Holes for sure 

Good coaches replace talent. I actually think we lost more after year 1 under Pierce than year 2. Granted, Texas went more JUCO heavy after year 1 to fill holes.

We did lose a lot of arms this year but people forget all the arms we lost from 2 years ago. Nick Kennedy, Kyle Johnston, Morgan Cooper, Connor Mayes, Tyler Schimpf, and Jon Malmin.

Agree. I think we'll end up in the 15-25 range.

The lineup should be deeper but we probably will not have a Kody.

Also need to find two weekend starters.

True, but we also won’t(or at least shouldn’t) have a McKenzie hitting .200 at first

[Machinator 32,099]

Apologies for posting Chip Brown.

 

[Js1 85,450]

Welp

 

[bschoolprof 6,271]

Huge blow. That’s sucks. 

[Biff Tannen 45,695]

Shite. He is a true junior right?

[randygilman 643]

We’re gonna miss the automatic double a lot. Get well soon D-Ham

[Machinator 32,099]

Fuck.

Yes. Bat sucked as a freshman, but developed into a pretty good hitter last year. Beast at ss. He’s arguably our best all around player. 

[Guest Lobo]

So you're saying he's coming back in 2020?  

Awful to hear, but could always be worse.  Get well soon David, I know you'll be a clubhouse leader this season with such a big freshman class looking for guidance.

Hopefully he will want to come back next year and prove that he has recovered. With a redshirt this year, he would still have leverage in the 2020 draft.  Get well DH. 

[spystud13 2,371]

Senior Masen Hibbeler or freshman Bryce Reagan likely to take over, according to one thing I read. 

[Capn81 373]

Welp
 

I WAS excited to catch up on this thread. Damn.

They were likely going to duke it out for 2B anyway. Now, they will probably both get a spot. The question is where.

damn that's huge

Texas at #23:

 

[Fletch 5,800]

So what’re we lookin at here?

DJ behind the plate, Bertelson/Zubia at first, Hibbeler and Reagan up the middle, Deadpool at 3rd, Todd in left, Shaw in center with Ellis in right?

Then Henley, Bocchi and someone like Whelan or a freshman as the Sunday guy with whoever isn’t the Sunday dude as our Tuesday guy with Elder, Diaz and some freshman coming out of the pen?

 

Also curious what we do with Ridgeway and Fields. Hopefully Ridgeway gets that 2017 mojo back. Then fields throws darts on the mound but he’s got a really smoothe swing and he’s athletic as hell. 

Even with the loss of Hamilton, Pierce has some interesting players to piece together. 

[Fletch 5,800]

Also, @Blanton and I are going to be at a lot of games this year. We may have to meet some of you hell raisers out in left field 

[Horny Bull 2,766]

One month folks

[Machinator 32,099]

 

[TrashMaster G 17,581]

Texas Box Offices tells me that single game tix will go on sale "Late January / early February"

Wtf?  This close and you can't give an exact date???

Obviously, losing Hamilton is a huge blow, but I am somewhat optimistic we'll be ok in the field and at the plate.  However, that pitching rotation scares the ever living shit out of me.  Fingers crossed.  Pierce has his work cut out for him this year.

Dare I say in Pierce I trust...?

Yes - he has definitely earned the right to our trust these past two years.  I just think it will be tough sledding given our roster.  

[Fletch 5,800]

Couldn’t agree more. What he was able to do with that ‘17 team, lose a good chunk of players from that team, then win the conference and go to the CWS in his second year is remarkable. 

Not to mention the improvements of Kody(don’t know how much of that was his dad or Pierce), Hamilton, then bringing in those juco guys, developing them and finding the best spots for them to succeed

They usually post the date in advance on TexasSports.   Single game tickets should go fast for the premium games.   

Not sure but with this year's home schedule (LSU, Ark (midweek), Stanford,  Tech, A&M (midweek), Rice (midweek), OU)  single game reserved tickets may be scarce.   Also, season ticket holders are able to purchase additional single game tickets before the general public.

Fans may want to consider purchasing a $99 General Admission Season Ticket Package for sections L5, 6, 7 and then find an open seat like the legend Drunk David Ash behind home plate.   😊   However,  if you have family or business associates may have to go the StubHub/scalper route for the premium games. 

[petscii 1,189]

Texas v Stanford is in Palo Alto this year, and single-game tickets are on sale.   Game times posted and everything.

Just heard Hamilton got injured on one of those got damn scooters.  That makes me ragey.

As I said in the Hamilton thread, fuck those stupid fucking scooters. Pain in the ass cocksucking machines 

[Fletch 5,800]

Off topic but please tell me that scumbag Austin Orange is gone. Dude was just awful

He only shows up in game threads when we are losing. We rep-banned him, but he was still posting after that, so who knows. 

[Fletch 5,800]

Well hopefully that fuckhead is gone. He probably beats his wife(or husband, whichever it is)

[petscii 1,189]

Leave Austin Orange alone.  If you don't like Austin Orange posting don't post stupid replies.

He's no bigger of a gash than North Loop who once redded me on Shaggy for fucking agreeing with him.  

[Fletch 5,800]

Fuck that. He was/is a piece of shit. 

 

And cut northloop some slack, he was probably drunk

To be fair, agreeing with his was probably neg-worthy.

[NorthLoop 14,219]

Man, you hold a grudge like Khomeini

I couldn't recall a single rep I had on TOS if you paid me to

I hope all of our coaches inform their players that there will be special conditioning work for anyone spotted on one of those things.

Something just not right about the intentional walk one. I dunno. Just rubs me wrong. It's like in beer league softball when you aren't supposed to run the bags after a HR. 

yeah it's terribad.  four pitches, throw all of them for the walk.

[troph 24,896]

shit just saw DH hurt for the year.  that blow monkey balls.
