Texas Baseball 2025 - Show Me A Schloss

Recommended Posts

Tickets for the Shriners Showdown at Globe Life Field are now available.  Texas will get the last game all 3 nights (Fri, Sat, and Sun).  I'm planning on going but will have to see how Dad recovers and check his interest before I commit to buy.

He was fired because he's dog shit.

This is when I knew we were turning the program around. I don't give a shit that he's been to 2 CWS. He is dog shit and stupid to boot. Who denies Paul Skenes (who wanted to come here) because he wanted to divide the NIL amongst the entire team, including the shitty players. He legit told Skenes he doesn't do NIL that way, so Skenes went to LSU and won a championship. What a fucking idiot. 

I will never forgive that idiot for that. Ever. He's on my shit list with Herman and late years Mack.

Is that really what happened with Skenes?

Yes, it is. It came down to us and LSU, and when he approached Pierce about coming to Texas and gave him his asking price, Pierce told him that he divides NIL to all the players, not just the ones who perform well. Skenes said Okie dokie and LSU matched his price so he went there. 

Who in their right mind divided up NIL to all players, even ones with one foot out the door, and they make the same as Flores. Flores getting the same as some bench warmer is criminal. How the hell do you turn down a talent like Skenes, even if it means you have to make a decision that's hard for you? We needed pitchers, and he turned him down because his asking price was "too much" and "all plauers deserve the same". 

Imagine Casey Cain making the same as Worthy or Mitchell? How much would that piss you off? Because that's what Pierce did. He handicapped us, which is why we were a middling to lower-level team who got beat by Texas State.

Sounds right. Looking forward to Gaspo this year. Should take the next step. Keep forgetting Schuessler. He’ll be a beast at first. 
 

Say what you will about DP, but he brought in a good young core. Galvan, gaspo, Flores, Belyeu, borba, ace and Howard are a good core to build around. I’m feeling an Omaha team here. Gonna be a fun season. 

Pierce was a good recruiter, no doubt about that. He just has moral issues and was like Mack in the NIL era. Except bleeding for the program, everyone gets a  slice so they don't go hungry and play better to get better NIL deals. It's why we went something like 36-24 and didn't host a regional in like 2-3 years.

Makes sense. I thought Skenes was a lock to Texas and then it just seemingly crumbled

Yep, I thought the same until I read/saw how Piece handled it. He really wanted to come here, but Pierce gonna Pierce. It stings so badly. I don't think I'll get over it any time soon. 

You can talk yourself into anything

He actually took the team to 3 CWS in 7 seasons. 

And went 2&Q in 2 out of 3 of those appearances with the last one ending on an embarrassing beatdown at the hands of the guy who replaced him.

Standards.

Maybe you'll eventually get that chicken pregnant.

How far did he get in the other one? 3rd place?

When will the roster be trimmed?  I checked today and it is still over 40 with no changes.  

Looking forward to the season.  We have full weekend tickets for the showdown in Arlington.

 

If the cuts haven't been made already and known to the players, then they most likely will find out over the Christmas break ( at least that is the way it used to be).

Gives the kids time to transfer (JUCO, DII, DIII, NAIA) or enter portal for spring.

Wasn’t there some roster expansion? I know not 40 but something a little higher than what it’s been?

Roster spots have actually gone down for 2025 as of a ruling in July.

34 players now but ALL can be on FULL scholarship (up from the BS 11.7 restriction and mostly only 1/4 scholarship or less)

That timeline seems like what has happened before, but I still feel sorry for them if they are only notified once the semester ends.  That gives you about a month to make contacts at other schools, apply to the school, and prepare to move somewhere else.  It also seems like that are a lot more people on these tentative rosters for the fall than there used to be.  Perhaps I just wasn't paying that much attention before.
