The guy who hit .325 with 22 bombs shouldn’t have been playing? Yeah, you were certainly the only person saying that.

Wow!!! 22 homers in Omaha????

I said it days ago, and I’ll say it again. Tinney should not have been playing. 

Keep us posted Schloss

Who should have been playing rather than Tinney?

[harveycmd]

I'm sure most Longhorn fans really appreciate Tinney. He's a All-American who loved playing for Texas. We wouldn't have been in the CWS without him. I'll be rooting for him throughout his MLB career.

Disappointing ending to the season, but I really like what Schloss is doing and the trajectory of the program.  I thought I remember Schloss saying he might be a year away on the roster construction, so to get to the World Series was good.  I guarantee today him and the staff are digging in today on the portal to see what upgrades they can find.  We’re going to get back to what we know Texas baseball should be.  Proud of our kids fighting. They gave all they had……it just wasn’t enough to get over the hump.  Good times ahead for Texas baseball.

Fun season overall. Had some frustrating moments along the way. Really wish we didn’t crap the bed hitting last night it was unfortunate because Harrison and Cozart absolutely dealt.

 

@Jeff Howe just curious your opinion on Tulo? Do you like him to stay on the staff or would you potentially make a switch at hitting coach?

[CJ Vogel]

The Tinney outrage is insane

Schloss on facing Dylan Vigue: "We didn't execute our approach against him very well."

The approach was terrible.  They basically had the same approach as GM 1 vs Georgia and Wes Johnson took Schloss/Tulo to the woodshed again.

It’s a personnel issue more than a Tulo issue for me. They pretty much got the most they could out of what they had. In the end, it wasn’t enough.

Our pitching staff did their jobs and more in this post season.

Guys like Pendergrass and Larson were not even supposed to play this year. They were plan C and D options after late draft departures, Josh Livingston not panning out and Jonah Williams getting hurt.

Then add in Mendoza’s injury and ARod playing with one hand again for an entire season.

The fact it was a top 4-5 offense in the SEC in most stats is pretty respectable considering the circumstances.

I remember the days when people could be disappointed and supportive of their teams. Some of yall must be miserable in life. Only one team gets to be happy. That’s the entire appeal of sports. It was great getting back to Omaha. 🤘🏽

Our 5-9 was terrible. I really hope we hit the portal hard and field a lineup next year that can battle 1-9. Hard to be consistent offensively when you are dependent on 3 guys to perform every game (4 when ARod got more comfortable at the end of the year). Hurts to think if we kept those two portal guys from getting drafted how different our lineup would have been. Do you think that will be an emphasis this offseason? 

Our 3-5 carried us through the WS, but I've disappointed with our backend for most of the year.

1000000% correct.

Crying because we felt like this team underperformed while making it to the last 6 teams standing shows how far Schloss has brought the program in a short time and how high the Texas fan base expectations are. Tough crowd!

Was just a bad matchup, For whatever reason every Georgia pitcher turned into Satchel paige against us, Do believe Texas needs more hitters who can make contact and put the ball in play.

With Volantis, Cozart, And several good looking freshman the pitching next year should be very good and Pack and A Rod give us a good hitting nucleus, Just to to win some portal battles and sign another strong high school class and a return to Omaha is certainly possible  

We just can’t beat Georgia in men’s sports lol

[dentonhorn]

For me, I thought this team probably topped out on my most optimistic projections. I didn’t think we would get to Omaha but it was the upper end goal, just to get there to add to our appearances record. If we won one game it would be an amazing season. I am really confused by those that don’t see this. Future is bright.
