Inspired73 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 There are some basic rules in baseball. Rule 1: Strike One. Your first or second pitch must be a good strike. From that point the pitcher has the upper hand. 0-2 the hitter has the advantage for the AB. In general, watching college baseball is difficult. Too many pitchers refuse to throw a strike. They get behind then shove it right down the pipe. You will never be great at pitching until you are willing to throw Strike One. Part of me wants to finger the coaches, but damn, every college game i watch is Ball, Ball, Ball, Foul, boom..... It would also help the pitching if we turned a routine double play, caught a fly in the gap and blocked a few pitches in the dirt. That crap is on the players. Frankly, lasts weekend showed that our players couldn't handle the bright lites, not that they can't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBHORNSFAN Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 9 hours ago, ClubWhatever said: We gave up 5 earned runs. We dropped a routine fly ball that led to 2 runs. This is against a team that's hitting .330 and scoring 10 runs a game on the year. Not awful. Average. We have a bullpen full of jags.

Derek Handler Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Baseball might be the worst sport on campus (or is it Mens Hoops?). Sad with our history. Anyone know Pierce's buyout? He's got 2 years left right after CDC extended him? It's insane he makes double what Elliott makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry K Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Hopefully this is just a bump in the road. Texas has been in Omaha 2 of the last 3 years and last year they made it to a super regional. I’m still fairly confident this team will improve and be a contender for the conference championship in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said before the season we were razor thin at quality arms and proving to be the case unfortunately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Leininger Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 The best part of Pierce taking over the pitching, he can no longer throw anyone else under the bus. He owns it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoHorns1 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Texas baseball will be a middle of the pack program in the SEC. Texas has losing record against SECteams under David Pierce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does. I was surprised when I heard he made that decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
