2024 Baseball Season Thread

[Baron]

Being just good is the enemy of becoming elite. That is the current status of Pierce and baseball.

He is just good not great.

If I remember correctly doesn't Texas suck at Globe Life or Minutemaid each year? Always a slow start but they get better as the season progresses?

I do think this team will have a rude awakening in the SEC next year if Pierce doesn't get the recruiting rolling for pitching.

Pitching is always slower to develop at the beginning of the season. Hopefully with a few innings, some of these guys will see the light and we will see improvement. Just like basketball, you want to be peaking at the end of the season.

Turn out the lights. Does notlook goodforjoining the SEC.

Being the way things are , there is a long wayto top of peak. For both teams.

Correct me if I am wrong..... I believe C. Pierce has beaten aggy twice since becoming the Texas coach? That includes playing them each year - plus once in the College World Series.

This is a bit unsettling, no?

Baseball might be our toughest SEC transition.

I actually had very high hopes for this baseball team. I was stunned when we didn't start the season ranked in the top 5, much less the top 10. I guess the people who rank college baseball might know more than I?

It's tough to be a cry-baby when Pierce has made the CWS several times at Texas... but I think he needs to re-evaluate some things. The pitching coach situation being one. And, I think the portal could be more of a friend to Texas baseball.

Pierce is the pitching coach, he took the duties this year. And IMO the management of bull pen is a big problem.

Per IT Pierce is 3-6 vs aggy.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

So is coaching a big part of the problem?

Yes and constant staff turnover... The pitching staff are all jags . Pierce is the pitching coach.

Yes, I am aware.

When they play good teams, the over / under seems to be 11 runs.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Appears it is time for change..

Pump the brakes on this talk. Pierce has had plenty of slow starts that have ended in CWS trips. A bit of patience is advised.

jags.... is this a baseball term I should know? Please educate me.
