Hasn’t been with the team since Wednesday afternoon. All I know.

Well, damn. Maybe we'll see TT replace him?

Miller was Pierce’s right hand guy. He was one of the few in the circle of trust and has been with him for over a decade.

Was more a culture guy more than anything specifically with hitting or fielding or whatever.

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

Maybe he couldn't handle the aggy loss. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15973]

So who was coaching 1B before tonight? 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Bright spot Boogie!!

[MuellerHorn 4230]

LBJ had an underwhelming outing and Texas might get out of this game with a W and using just Whitehead and another BP arm like Dre. Very nice for the next two days.

Miller was before tonight and tonight it been Cam Constantine (bench player).

He's still listed on TexasSports as on the coaching staff.

[BachelorTrek 2968]

It's so quiet in that stadium now you can hear the dugout chatter clearly.  Lulz.

Is he more effective at 84mph than 88mph?  He froze a couple of those dudes with 84 under their hands.

Rather go get a pitching coach. TT can influence plenty in his role

[Hookem2147 21217]

Well I guess after seeing 94 for 5 innings, 84 is quite the adjustment.

So not gone then. Just on leave. Maybe?

There will never be another pitching coach here. No one is coming after how the last two guys were treated and let go. They would be a fool to take that job. Pierce had been the de facto pitching coach for 8 seasons.

That's what it seems like.

[Levi 2586]

“Personal leave of absence” is a lot different than no longer with the team.

I gotta think if there was someone who could do the job and recruit there would be fewer issues. Problem is we’ve had one or the other. And DP is apparently an ass to work for but what big time college baseball coach isn’t?

Chris Gordon, who was the pitching coach at Duke previously, is on staff in an off-field role and my understanding is he is pretty involved day to day. Does a lot of work behind the scenes.

[Rusty Shackleford 60]

Did anyone else’s ESPN+ stream disconnect? It’s not even showing up anymore in the app. 

[Hookem2147 21217]

This team can hit man. And we won’t see one Luke Holman level arm the rest of the way in conference play.

Still watching...... but I'm not using the app.

[Hookem2147 21217]

If we win this series someone owes Ace Whitehead a beer. Unsung hero tonight eating up innings for the staff.

[zlavydra 2121]

LOL JOD

[Valmy77 13226]

Come on O'Dowd! What are you swinging at?

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

plenty of opportunities for a grand slam tonight.  

[zlavydra 2121]

22!

Thought last year, the pitching coach didn’t seem to make mound visits when needed too often.  Perhaps this was due being too many cooks in the kitchen.

[Valmy77 13226]

Ok now we can 15 runs and still win.

Gasparino seems good.

[jeevsie 3734]

Yahtzee!

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

Gaspar is on fire.  Boom!

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

22-6! Probably not enough to make this a guarantee in the bottom of the ninth, but I am liking our chances.    

[HuntinHorn 975]

Can't believe Pierced tried to bunt Gasparino earlier!  22-6

Kneel to your Texas masters Tech.

[Hookem2147 21217]

We can bring in Duplantier. It’s safe.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

All Gasparino, no brakes. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

The Tech bullpen is going to get destroyed this weekend if we can get into their Saturday starter by the 4th inning. 

[txduck87 985]

Kneel to your Texas masters Tech.

[Hookem2147 21217]

I’ve thought this for a while, but why as a pitcher would you ever want to play for Tech. It’s a launching pad in thin air.

Mason Molina is the best one they’ve had in 5 years and even he said deuces and went to Arkansas.

It’s amazing how a coaches job gets easier when guys like Will Gasparino show up on your campus.
