2024 Baseball Season Thread

Not that I'm pro Pierce but he didn't cause Flores to commit the 2 errors in the 8th that ultimately cost us the game...

You are correct. The kid has been nails all year and unfortunately picked a bad time to make mistakes.

 

[tejasrulz]

2 errors in the 8th that lead to the tying run. And error in the 11th with two outs that allows them to score 2. Brutal.

We are cooked with pitching (Andre and Boehm unlikely available today). I see little way we could win 3 games in the next two days.

Agree about our pitching. We win last night and we had a really good chance but now, we just don't have the arms.

I hate that we did so many good things but found a way to lose. Flores has been great all year , as tejas mentioned, those 2 errors were out of character for him. Hate that we wasted a good pitching game from the staff. Kinda sums up this frustrating season.
Got a long road to get out of the regional now.

We needed to sweep in 3 games to have a chance from a pitching perspective. Had a chance to do it as well. Brutal

Pierce has them about ready to turnthe cornor.

Your kind of funny, wish you was right.

Team did get better as season went on, so some things where done right…..

Louisiana is now up 6-1 top of the 8th.

So who’s replacing Pierce?

 

[tejasrulz]

9-1 going to the bottom of the 8th. Louisiana hit 2 three run HRs

 

[tejasrulz]

Hopefully tomorrow is the last time we see David Pierce in a Texas uniform.

I’m ok with this, who you got replacing him?

 

[82Horn]

9-1 now, season fast coming to a close. I will say I can see CDC making that change, and he has done good job with hires. I will support Texas Baseball no matter who the coach is.

I think if I was them I would save 45 for aggy, he is impressive.

 

[Oldmanastro]

Let’s go CDC. Who you got?

Anyone have an update on joeywa? Thinking of you buddy!

 

[tejasrulz]

Horns lose 10-2. At least we have a good softball team

 

[Huskie1]

Disappointing end to a disappointing season. It will be interesting to see what next year brings in the SEC. Pitching staff has very little coming back that was dependable. Many of our position players may be gone. I felt only Thomas and Flores were studs. Looks like a total retool with Pierce’s job on the line of CDC doesn’t make a move now.
I’m curious, who would you Hornssports crew realistically bring in if Pierce is gone?

 

[Eastexhorn]

Either go with a young upcomer or go with Dallas Babtist coach.

So do we fire a coach who got us to the playoffs?

Is the expectation just making the playoffs? We couldn’t win a weak Big 12 this year.
I’m not sure what the answer is, just throwing it out there.
My feeling is Pierce is a good coach but not elite. I bet he gets one more year.

 

[tejasrulz]

So we keep a coach that got his arse kicked by UTRGV?

I've said on here mid-season that Pierce's post-season results could be the thing that saved him. He had another chance to put up another good result this year but 1-2 at a regional isn't going to cut it. Irony is, without the errors yesterday, I think we could have won this regional and then matched up with another 3 seed Oregon in the supers, I think as the host.

The team building process hasn't been effective and coaching staff turmoil seems a common theme. I think the writing is on the wall for Pierce. He did not sound confident in his return in his post-game press conference.

Yes. He gone. They have been back channeling coaches for a while.

At UT getting into the final 64 should be automatic and never seen as an accomplishment.
