You'd think they'd be lining up for the David Pierce pitching instruction experience.

There are dudes at Hill, San Jac, Galveston, MCC, Panola etc who would love to play in Austin and who would at least be competitive against K State. 

[hobbes2702 13028]

Jalin needs another year of college.

Agreed and I think he will be a monster.

[sunset87 240]

So I guess Ace is now the “ace” of the staff… Quite the staff Pierce has built.

Shit I would love to have a couple of guys off that CC staff.   How pathetic is that?

my only hope is that since CDC didn't hire Pierce, the trigger will be quicker.

Fontenot on to pitch.

[hobbes2702 13028]

Not sure why Fontenot is on now. No reason to burn him here

It's got to be masterful coaching and roster management, doesn't it?

Can you imagine being the first Texas baseball coach to be fired?

Needs to happen. This is disgusting.

[texastroubadour 1210]

14 (at a minimum) runs after going up 3-0. So bad.

Gus resigned rather than be fired. Augie likewise by taking the special assistant role or whatever fluff job it was.

Pierce is 61 maybe he retires so we can keep up the trend?

And 3 runs against a guy with a ERA north of 7 with a hurricane wind blowing straight out.

I don't expect Pierce to go without being fired.  yeah Augie and Gus resigned but they knew they were done.

Pierce has never experienced their same level of achievement, so I doubt he realizes the situation he’s currently in the way those two legends did. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Solo shot for Gasparino.

Yea Augie was absolutely fired.

[TejasPedro 1857]

This bullshit is now acceptable at a place like Rice it should never be tolerated at Texas!

CDC do your thing.

Point being, we can try to pride ourselves on never firing a coach up until this point but the two coaches before this one were basically fired without being fired.

Let’s see this is shaping up to be the worst year of Texas baseball since________

[Hookem2147 21188]

David Shaw apparently was hit in the head during batting practice so we also have that going for us

I think it may be time to accept the fact that this isn't all Pierce.  We have players with a lot of talent who have no balls.  They dont crave coming in with the sacs juiced...they are terrified of it.  This staff is gutless, save a few players and there is no way to teach someone how not to be a gutless pussy.  Throwing 95 doesn't change who you are internally.  You will cower and fail to performs when the chips are down.

Those coaches earned the right to go out that way though. This fuck stick hasn’t and hasn’t come anywhere close to he awarded that luxury. Can his bitch ass on the tarmac in Manhattan.

What you’re describing is Pierce not doing job. Coaches job to get the shit you’re describing out of kids to maximize them.

You think DP hasn’t maximized the talent he’s had since he’s been here? That has not been the problem at all.

You cant teach a kid to have a sack.  You're gutless or you aren't.

You can instill confidence into kids which helps them build a sack. Gotta get it out of them.

I think he’s coasted on talent he has had but he hasn’t maximized. If he had maximized we’d have a NCAA title.

lol ok. The lack of talent has been the complaint since he took over. Maximizing talent hasn’t been close to a problem. Assembling talent has been. None of his teams have been anywhere close to talented enough to win the title except for 2021 and 2020.

These kids aren't 12.  These are adults.  Pitching coaches cant give you balls.

It’s both. The big what if of 2020. Just fire his ass and hire someone better. It’s that simple. This isn’t his 2nd or 3rd year in. He isn’t handling portal era well and doesn’t have the personality to bring elite portal talent.

Our pitching coach doesn’t have ball so how in the fuck do you think he can maximize our pitchers and get the best out of them? Age is also irrelevant when getting the most out of a player. It’s coaches job to coach the mental aspect of it as well.
