Well 1 of 2 things are going to happen.

The wheels come off and Texas is looking for a new HC.

We have a team that can make some noise in the postseason.

I don’t see latter happening. The hitting is just so wildly inconsistent and unreliable. Swinging at pitches from their knees, seemingly unaware of count, tons of pop ups. I don’t know who this team would scare as all you have to do is throw some curves in and they just swing away.

We lost to Washington because we couldn’t hit worth dick, lost to Baylor Friday night when a lefty throwing 86 from Lake Travis shoved it up our anus and scored 1 run tonight against A&M Corpus Christi.

For whatever bitching we do about the pitching we have a top 25 ERA in the country and most of our losses lately have been because we look like shit at the plate.

So what’s been the bigger overall problem this year hitting or pitching?

Both. When we pitch well we can’t hit. When we hit well we can’t pitch. Been the story of the entire season.

Wait, so,……

Either Texas is playing in Omaha in June or the coach gets fired? You have certainly set yourself up for something in the middle.

Hookem2147 · March 27

I can get over losing a random ass Tuesday game every once in a while, but when you have already lost a home series to Washington and suffered a Q4 loss to Baylor you really can’t afford to take these sort of L’s.

I know I’m stating the obvious there but yeah…

At this point 1-4 has to be Thomas, Powell, Flores, Belyeu. 5 Kimble, 6 Porter. 7-9 don’t matter.

Definitely seems to be the case.

But, imo, the pitching seems to be down this year. Only one strong starter, no real closer, and an inconsistent bullpen that struggles to throw strikes at times.

Hitting is inconsistent but decent overall.

Hopefully they can put them both together more this season.

williemackgarza · March 27

Pierce is a shit stain. Avg coach with above average talent. With support coaches get here, hes useless. CDC, pull the cord

UnhappilyMarried · March 27

The conference is bad enough and we're talented enough that the "this team might have it figured out", "Pierce has to go" whiplash will continue all year.

RPI is free-falling towards Q3. Weather warms up after tomorrow in Manhattan. We'll take the series and then get swept by BYU next weekend

MuellerHorn · March 27

Spaceman_Spiff · March 27

Awful. Feel for the kid.

Hookem2147 · March 27

We’ve dug ourselves a hole in RPI. We are now in the 70’s and to even be in the conversation for a regional you have to be around 40. Have only won two games away from the Disch and they were both against Tech, who is in a free fall of their own.

You can’t pile up Q3 and Q4 losses, especially at home. RPI will crush you.

closetojumping · March 27

Texas lost to Corpus Christi? LOL. This trash is indefensible.

I don’t believe there will be a middle, which is why I said as much.

This Kansas State series is giving me 2019 on the road at TCU vibes. Went into that series 16-8 (2-1). Had game 1 won up 2-0 heading to the 9th until Kameron Fields blew that game. Won Saturday 13-1. Jumped out to an 8-2 lead on Sunday until Kameron Fields took a shit on that game as well. From possibly 19-8 (5-1) to the wheels coming off. That is the vibe I’m getting from this team.

MLB starts Thursday. I suggest you divert your attention there. This team is toast

Hookem2147 · March 27

Again, this team is not void of talent. We have 6 guys hitting above .300 and another one in Gasparino who is just below .300 but is as talented of a freshman as we’ve had in a long time.

ERA, walks, WHIP all down from last year.

Shit just makes no sense man. Would be a lot easier to accept if we looked out there every game and saw a bunch of garbage.

Edited March 27 by Hookem2147

B00M · March 27

Once again, it’s the offense. Texas is like 160th in D1 in walks earned. Games like tonight and game 1 vs Baylor we just look impatient and unwilling to watch pitches with 2 strikes. First 2 batters of the first 7 innings went 0/14. That’s really something.

B00M · March 27

Our on base percentage is 117th… it’s really hard to consistently score runs when guys aren’t on fucking base. Hard to change at this point. Guys either tend to have that inherently or not. We’ve got a lineup of hackers so we’re going to have high batting averages and inconsistent output.

Revolution512 · March 27

This is such a joke, that’s a minor B team that had zero problem with Texas. That win wasn’t hard at all.

Well, Pierce basically just said this loss is whatever we are focused on K State. They played well and we never got in a flow offensively.

gonna be excuses from here on out until he's fired after the train runs over him in the SEC next year. this team sucks.

there is no approach at the plate. Do we catch up to shitty pitching sometimes? sure.

the pitching is meh but we have complete blackouts on offense.

Yeah this team is afraid to strike out looking on a 3-2 pitch. Remember people hated Zach Zubia because he was that way but Zach got on base a lot because he wasn’t afraid to take a close pitch. Most of this teams walks come in 3-0 and 3-1 counts where ball 4 is uncompetitive.

A whole lotta BABIP on this team

If they had some stud starter they had saved for us I could halfass understand but they used half their fucking bullpen. For us to score 1 run. JFC

B00M · March 27

47th in batting average

70th in scoring

((23rd in ERA))

its not terribly different from most DP teams other than our inability to get on base. Hell, we’re like 240th in getting hit by pitch. There’s no scrappiness, no dirtbags

The_Great_Hornsby · March 27

LOL, I get home from work to see we scored 1 motherfucking run against Corpus Aggy. Are you fucking with me?

I hate this kind of take as much as I hate the fucking sunshine pumping that you’ve been doing all baseball season.

You’re not the only poster that follows multiple sports. Posters on the baseball or basketball boards don’t magically know more about either sport because they type about them more. Same as football posters.

I don’t care if Texas winds up going 2 and a Q again in Omaha and some of you “David Pierce just needs 7 more years!” guys wind up feeling vindicated by that this season. This is a bad year with a team that has holes in it. Year 7 with a solid NIL foundation means that the fucking midget coaching the team shouldn’t get any benefit of the doubt when consistently losing to unknown or bad baseball programs.

Zubia also played nails D at 1st and was clearly a clubhouse leader.

A masterful job by their pitching coach. Only one pitcher faced 9 batters, 1 BB, 5 hits. When playing a more talented team, don't let them see the same guy twice.

We need to give aggy Corpus credit along with our failure.

And i think the avg era of those pitchers was like 7 across the five or six of them used. Texas is regressing at the plate.

But bro it's just a Tuesday game and he's made the CWS 3 times including getting schmingbopped 2 of those 3 times by 5+ runs each.

Okay but this team has sucked dick all season.

I agree that Texas baseball fans are easily the best of the big 3, but at some point let's call a spade a spade.

Spoiler

Spoke with a couple of folks this morning after the Horns 4-1 loss to TAMU-CC.

First, the bad news has now been made public but RHP Tanner Witt is out. How long? They aren’t sure yet. Witt hasn’t pitched in a few weeks and I’m told that they’re trying to figure out what the issue is (medically) exactly. That has yet to be determined from what I hear.

Last week I reported that the staff felt really good about Ace Whitehead. You saw that come to fruition Saturday when he pitched a complete game, all 117 pitches, against Baylor to help the Horns secure the win. I’ve been told that only boosted the confidence he has in himself and that the staff and team have in him. Expect Ace to continue to have that role going forward. His emergence is huge.

Texas fans are down and out after last night, and rightfully so, but the Horns are only 1 game behind first place in the Big 12 right now. No. 23 ranked Kansas State is in sole possession of first and that’s who the Longhorns take on this weekend.

I was told that’s what the sights are set on right now, winning the conference. A series win this weekend will be a big step in that direction.

BonzoMontreaux · March 27

If Nuke LaLoosh was a baseball team...

40acredropout · March 27

Just to add some context that I think will make you guys feel better: Incarnate Word put up 29 runs last weekend across 3 games against these scrubs.
