horns96 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) This play X play guy reminds of Fred Willard in "Best of Show", talking right past Swindell. ...and more bad base running (forced by chasing runs because of bad pitching).

horns96 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 as @Gerry Hamilton says, if you're making excuses for your coach and roster depth in the NIL era, you have the wrong coach. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Berg Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Maybe it's best if the Horns go "two and cue" so they can rest for the regional. At this point, we're not hosting a Regional, and will be a 2 or 3 seed. Hopefully, they are assigned to a 9-16 seed region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horns96 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Pierce ends our Big XII run with two bad losses attributable to poor defense, poor pitching and bad baseball. I have a feeling if he jeopardizes CDC's Director's Cup, he's gone (and Stanford is making a run in the Pac-whatev tourney, so it baseball could figure in to it). Not our standard.

Moderators Blake Munroe Posted May 23 Moderators Share Posted May 23 No one should be surprised that Texas did poorly in the Big 12 tournament. They haven’t won it since 2015 and only have six times since joining the Big 12, with four of those coming in about a six year span. Don’t judge Pierce by that, but rather what happens next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how the committee treats Texas after that showing. Wouldn’t surprise me if Texas winds up in a really tough regional like Aggieville as a 3 seed.

This is just a laughable obtuse statement. Pierce has been a shitty coach since he came to Austin, but don't judge him for the team's continued poor performance in winning championships, because his team has always poored fairly at winning championships. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas, in general, hasn’t done well in the Big 12 tournament. Winning it a handful of times in 26 years isn’t good. Its not obtuse in saying I wouldn’t base any decision on the Big 12 tournament alone. That would be insanely dumb. Regular season and post season is what should be considered, with post season play being considered the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular season and post season is what should be considered, with post season play being considered the most. We'll know soon enough. I fully expect that we'll be sent to Fayettenam or Collie Station. No matter the support of Occupy LF and former players, if Pierce doesn't make it to a final in the Regional, he's rightfully done. If you watched the games, this is not a healthy program. Having an assistant coach walk away before the first conference series with no back up plan is not a healthy program. Having no pitching coach is not a healthy program. Having guys playing out of position and giant holes in your roster is not a healthy program.

Texas has found a way to win every Big 12 matchup except one, but they haven’t looked like a team who dominated the conference. At all. Not in the way you’d expect, anyway.
