Yes sir I agree

I hear his numbers are not going to tell the whole story. He got a lot better at the end of the season. In a radio interview last fall Coach Pierce even commented on the number of pitchers returning and already having his weekend starting rotation in place with LBJ, Witt and Hurley. I think even Coach Pierce is surprised at his performance so far this year.

Lol Coach Pierce is still trying to figure out what arms he has and doesn’t have. To be fair It’s not uncommon to see teams at a “work in progress” stage early in the season and this has been Coach Pierce’s MO. Problem with this year is he has a lot less time to figure out solutions before facing tougher competition again. There are a couple of early signs of concern with the pitching staff for me. Charlie Hurley has regressed from where he was last year. David Shaw was supposedly much improved and while he’s not any worse than last year I don’t see that he’s any better.

Texas baseball took it on the chin this weekend at Minute Maid going 0-3 for the weekend against LSU, Texas State and Vanderbilt. The Good- the offense got bad on its horse after the LSU game scoring 21 runs in the last 2 games. The bad- Horns pitching staff allowed 31 runs and serving up entirely too many cookies giving up 7 home runs on the weekend. The ugly- 20 strikeouts Friday night against LSU. Lost a lead late against Texas State Saturday followed by a monumental collapse today against Vanderbilt losing 14-11 after racing out to a 11-3 lead. Coach Pierce has historically turned things around after slow starts to the season. Only this year he doesn’t have much time with the Aggies coming to town Tuesday followed a trip to Lubbock next week to start conference play. This is probably his biggest challenge yet. Hopefully this weekend will light a fire in the team, most importantly the pitching staff. We’ll see.

Yes sir I agree. If Texas makes it to Omaha he’s going to need to be a factor in a couple of months.

What’d you think of Witt last night? Short snippet with just one inning of zero pressure pitching but seemed like it was good for his confidence.

Thanks Blake! We have YouTube TV and Sling so I don’t think we get Space City Home Network. Do you know if Astros X on YouTube is different than the Astros YouTube channel?

Absolutely horrible!! Prayers for all families affected by this along with all those working the front lines.

Ah the off season 😂

Thanks Bobby! It would be interesting to see the teams record with each year compared to the results recruiting class.

It will be interesting to see how the staff ends up on these Georgia offers. 🙏🤘

The season is still young. Still work to be done in my opinion on offense but also for some of the pitching. Playing better teams (starting Tuesday) will expose some of these issues. I feel like Baseball America has them ranked about right at 15. Again it’s still early. This team can be really good though when it all comes together. Just glad LBJ is on our team!

Instead of schools hiring analysts many now are going to hire the best salespeople possible. I don’t like where this could go.

He’s definitely not back yet. I don’t figure him to be an impact until maybe late season and that would be a bonus. That’s how I’m looking at it anyway.

To me this doesn’t look like a strong Cal Poly team. Hurley had a good outing against them but if he keeps chunking hangers it’s gonna get ugly when we face better competition. It’s early though. I do feel a lot better already about the bullpen.

Going to take parity to an even newer level than it already is.

Red zone no doubt but I agree Sark has room for improvement at in game play, post script play calling.

Man I was hoping they would at least tie that hit record. Cade O’Hara was a great surprise for me. That was good to see. Looking ahead to this weekend any thoughts on Cal Poly?

Start out at Matt’s El Rancho. Get a couple Rita’s and a large Bob. Head down to the stadium, park and head to Schultz beer garden for a drink and hang out with hundreds other Horn fans. At 2 hours and 15 minutes before kick off the team walks down Bevo blvd on the west side of the stadium. Then hang around the stadium. On the north end and northeast corner of the stadium there are more tailgate tents and most are friendly. If there’s kids the north end of the stadium has carnival rides. Allow 45 minutes to get into the stadium and get seated. If you’re in the north end of the city and don’t want to cross town for Matt’s El Rancho, El Patio is a cool little restaurant with lots of Longhorn history and really good enchiladas but get a beer their Rita’s just aren’t good imo.

I agree Bobby at least sitting here in February without a clear picture on the make up of the entire team especially on defense. I know some are thinking the schedule isn’t tough but I disagree. Georgia is obviously going to be tough but there are 3 rivalry games on the schedule. That’s a huge number of rivalry games in one season. Those rivalry games aren’t cake walk games in my opinion. Fayetteville at night is not much different than Aggie land. Kentucky won’t be easy either. Florida may not have a great record by then but they have talent.

Yeah Friday’s game was surprisingly pretty clean. The last 2 I saw a lot of early season rust. They’re just not in sync yet but to me the talent is there. The bullpen may end up being the strength of the team. Keep in mind there has been changes in staff and in roles within the staff. Coach Pierce is pitching coach and no longer the 3rd base coach on offense. Tulo is also a new face at least to some of the players. Pierce could use some consistency with his staff. Hopefully it will come together. Time isn’t on their side though. The first 7 games of March is a brutal stretch.

Baseball closed the weekend out with a rubber match win today to take the series against a pretty good San Diego team at chilly Disch Falk 🤘🤘

Take some Texas BBQ with you then get some sides there 😂

Thanks Gerry enjoyed this!

Yeah but 10 mil…😂
