This ump is stingy AF.

Is Hamilton at the bottom of the order because of the injury?  I think I liked our lineup better when he was at the top.

Pierce can't seem to settle on anything.

[Cousin Strawberry 1263]

At least he didn’t have to work for that base at all.

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

This ump’s zone is ridiculous. 

[Cousin Strawberry 1263]

Him either.  Walk and hit batter.

[ClubWhatever 12178]

Seen enough of O'Donnell

[Horny Bull 2766]

5-3 Kansas State after 4. 

[wood 11637]

Gee, uh ... might be a good idea to take a pitch here and there.

I hope Reynolds doesn't have to be told to take a pitch here

[Austin Orange 98]

Need a Zubia-bomb here

[zlavydra 2133]

Just stand there, DJ.

[wood 11637]

Welp. Nothing wrong with that pitch. 

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

3-2 fastball down the pipe. 

Swing the damn bat. 

[TwiceHorn 31705]

Tomorrow looks to be a complete pitching shitshow.  Probably for both teams.

[Pato del Muerto 52974]

So McGuire hit about 0.050 his freshman year here, came back as a pitcher, and now gets to play right field?

Mysterious.  He is hitting .500 right now, though.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Nice inning ending DP. 

[Austin Orange 98]

Still 5-3. Need a rally in the 7th.

[Cousin Strawberry 1263]

Another free pass

[Cousin Strawberry 1263]

Does anyone have a time machine? This is just bad baseball.

[Austin Orange 98]

7-3. Pitching is weak.

[TwiceHorn 31705]

Granted I missed the end of Gus and beginning of Garrido, but this is the worst Texas pitching I think I have ever seen.

[dcar00 14631]

not sure why anyone would be surprised.  we happened to play the worst 2 teams in the conference first.  we aren't good.

[bschoolprof 6281]

What in the fuck has has happened to our pitching?  It should not be this bad. 

[dcar00 14631]

skip johnson left

Have you seen our coaching staff? Not much of a track record

[TwiceHorn 31705]

Skip aint the only good pitching coach in the world.  We had a pretty good string of em before him.

But Pierce and his volunteer assistant pretty clearly aren't getting it done.

[Cousin Strawberry 1263]

The end of Gus was a shit show.  Darren Gustafson did a lot of the recruiting back then and we ended up with a lot of people from central Texas(because Darren didn’t have to drive) and counties where Darren liked to dove, deer and quail hunt.  It was bad.

[Austin Orange 98]

Cant wait to watch us pull McGuire or McKenzie out of the field to pitch. LLWS-style.

of course..but the question was what happened to our pitching? Skip Johnson left and we hired David Pierce and a volunteer.

Fair nuf.  And yeah, AO is right, the only experience any AC has other than Pierce's staff at SHSU, Tulane, or Texas is two years at NWSt (La.).  Very comfy for ol Dave.

Yeah, that's what I understood, and similar complaints were leveled at Harmon before his departure.  But even still:

1995	Texas	44-19	14-10
1996	Texas	39-24	17-7	SWC Champion

9-3 top 7th. 

[TwiceHorn 31705]

So, we fucking tie it up in the T9.

And load the fucking bases with no outs in the B9:  HBP HBP Single.

Un.  Fucking.  Real.

agreed. we will need to win the conf tourney to make the tournament.  probably going to go  1 fer 4 on the coaches in the between Dodds and Del Conte era.

[TwiceHorn 31705]

11-10 walkoff.

[TwiceHorn 31705]

Some of us are going to have to pitch tomorrow.

[Austin Orange 98]

Ridgeway with an absolute epic fail.   Dude has fallen apart this year.

[TwiceHorn 31705]

These announcers are bending over backward not to admit that we really pretty much suck.

[Austin Orange 98]

Who pitched that last batter? McGuire ice cold in from Right field?

[Firemans4Horn 18344]

Pathetic pitching performances from start to finish tonight. 

[dcar00 14631]

holy shit.  Ridgeway just needs to see the bench the rest of the way.  he's awful.   it sucks we are going to have to watch this shitshow for 2 more years.  sept can't get here fast enough.  I think Herman and staff are at least competent.

[bschoolprof 6281]

How did we allow a grounder with a 6 man infield?

Really everyone has regressed tangibly, and seemingly as the season progresses.

 

So,  since we've only had three coaches now in my lifetime, how long does Pierce get? 3? 4? 5?

But then we will get Schloss and all will align. CWS champs 2021.

misses the tournament this year and next he's gone.  if he makes it one of the next 2 years I think he gets the 3rd but I really want Del Conte to take control and get our fucking house in order.  if that means firing obviously shitty coaches earlier than you'd like, so be it. these days you usually know by the 3rd  year at the latest if you have it or not.  its not worth waiting anymore.  too much money at stake.
