OTF Premium Jim Schlossnagle, No. 2 Texas discuss a series loss to No. 18 Texas A&M

[SuperDave0805]

Pitching has been horrendous but right now the hitting isn't good either, We aren't stringing hits together and advancing runners and are only scoring through homeruns 

[Jbro52]

I can’t believe no one is on here blaming Kyle Flood like everything else lol

Dog walked by your rivals

The most disappointing thig is that the team just hasn't been ready to compete. First game was close, but literally couldn't throw a strike when needed. Game two was a joke all around. This is not a good sign for the postseason. 

[UTexas]

First series loss of the year I believe for baseball and the 2nd for the ladies. Not too shabby. Never ideal to lose to rivals but it happens. Time to bounce back and carry on. 

[harveycmd]

Maybe we'll catch a break and the game will be canceled today.

Sounds like they were ready then?

They led 6-4 in the 6th inning. They didn’t lose because they didn’t “compete” enough.

What happened when they needed throw strikes but couldn't? You can say they didn't "execute," but you can't compete without executing under pressure.

Unfortunately this a common trend for Texas baseball.

Exactly, There's time to do it, but we haven't seen it yet.

What about the trend prior to the weekend when we did it a bunch against good teams? 

Everyone loves to focus on the 3-4 bullpen blowups while ignoring the other 27 wins where the bullpen did their job. Including the entire OU series, the entire South Caroline series and the final two games against Auburn and Ole Miss.

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

Game 1 we competed. We absolutely blew that game though. We had zero reason to lose it. I will say this team hasn’t looked focused for some reason. There are too many guys struggling to say they are with the errors, bad ABs, walks etc.  It’s not just one or two players.

Strange.

World has nothing to do with baseball. Schloss didn't have these boys ready to play. No getting around it. Don't want to hear more about "mental game" until there's a title.

You sound really fun at parties.

I love how openly people talk about national titles around here, in all sports, like it is some easy thing to do.

I've never been to a party. Since when did easy matter at Texas?

[harveycmd]

Schloss didn't acknowledge the hate because he was afraid of the "mental" aspect of it. That was obviously a mistake. You must meet challenges head on. 

[harveycmd]

Did MJ or Kobe ever shy away from meeting a rival head on? Both of those guys made excuses to make things personal. That's why they have eleven combined titles. 

[harveycmd]

I remember watching an interview of Kobe talking about playing the Spurs before game one of the 2001 WCF. Kobe said he was going to kill them. That's what he did. 45 and 10 at age 22.

[harveycmd]

Duncan and Robinson guarding the rim don't mean nothing to me. I'm better than them.
