Man, their bullpen has been horrible. Blew leads in the first 4 games against the Yankees.
Fortunately the division leaders are only at .500 ball right now and we are only 3 games out.
Loooong way to go.

Trying to achieve a new low, losing to UTRGV 4-1 in the 4th.
Correction: 9-1. Sad.

Yeah the only reason this team isn’t completely awful is the offense has managed to smash their way to a few conference wins
I quit watching after our pitchers hit their 8th batter. Were there more?!! Gotta be a record...

Baseball Knocks Off (RV) Texas for First Time in 53 Years
History
The win snaps a 48-game losing streak for UTRGV (18-15) against Texas (22-16). The last time UTRGV beat Texas was in the 1971 NCAA District Championships, winning game one 1-0 and game two 4-0.
This is UTRGV's second-ever true road win against Texas, and first since May 30, 1968, a 2-1, 10-inning victory in game two of the NCAA District Championships. UTRGV had lost 44-straight road games against Texas since then, including its first 39 games at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
The 17 runs are the most ever scored by UTRGV against Texas. The previous record was 12, set on May 27, 1973.
This is UTRGV's largest-ever margin of victory over Texas, with the previous record being four on May 22, 1971.
This is UTRGV's highest-scoring output since dropping 20 runs on Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on April 4, 2022 at UTRGV Baseball Stadium.
First time in 53 years!!!!!
F$&k Me!! I just get back from a location in New Mexico to this?? God I’m glad we don’t play Lamar or Sam Houston anymore….

Well if this isn't sad enough the SEC is also the strongest baseball conference in the country 😢 They've won the last 4 nc.
Dude, what’s your bone with CDC? Seems like you are looking for something to always slam him. I think he has been an excellent AD since he arrived. Great hires (Terry possibly the exception).
I think 2300 just has a problem with everyone. CDC’s track record as AD has been relatively flawless
Hired Sark for Football(2300 argues he didn’t hire sark. He’s the AD he gets the credit)
Hired Mike white for Softball-softball is the
#1 team in the country right now
Hired Vic Shafer for women’s bball.
Managed to get Chris Beard(not his fault Beard ****ed it up
Replaced the best swimming coach ever with arguably the next best.
Not sure how you can look at his track recored and the performance of the program as a whole and think CDC is doing a bad job. I get that some people just have to be a contrarian but sometimes you just look silly
In other news, the sun came up this morning.
I’m afraid we’re headed into the Shaka - Strong era on the baseball field….
Did the young hitters (like Service) that at least showed some life vs RV get a shot against the froggies tonight?
Yep Kirk Saarloos would be my #1 realistic option. He’s got a couple years under his belt as a good program MLB expierence as a pitcher and has been a real pitching coach. In hiring him you could have the guy for the next 20 years.
That's pretty ridiculous. Schaefer, Sark, and Mike White were all CDC hires and all 3 have been home run hires from the looks of it.
Let's see how our new swimming coach goes too with a new CDC hire. But Pierce needs to go
He's telling the truth about Sarkisian not being his hire. While I can't prove it my impression is that ESPN and the SEC made this hire. At least a month before Herman was fired. I think they even played a part in getting Kyle Flood to Texas. What really bugs is how much influence does that little runt Kevin Tighe have in the athletic program. It was he, not CDC, who announced Rodney Terry's extension. Am I wrong?
Hey ole buddy! Thanks for the shoutout.
I've been super busy in the classroom getting kids ready for AP exams here in a couple weeks. I haven't logged on in forever!
I scrolled through after I saw this post just to see what else I had missed. @clob94 is correct....lol, we are fooked. @KChorn11 is also correct that at this point you are pretty much what you are.
When you sent this message it looks like we were playing KState of which we took 2/3. Nice series because they are a solid squad. The win PCT at the time of your message was roughly .580. The win PCT now is roughly .580. This is evidence of why I said KCHorn was correct.
Now mind you, Texas went 9-6 from when you posted this message. Not bad, not good as that averages out to a 33-22 record. And probably a 3 seed in a Regional. NOT TEXAS BASEBALL.
This team is tragic. Recruiting has been sketchy for several years now. The HC has fired the last two pitching coaches and took it over himself. Well, you all see how that turned out. DP is not the guy. He is a good, not great coach and he certainly isn't effing elite. Texas is an ELITE baseball program that requires an ELITE coach. DP ain't it.
Now back to the 9-6 record, which is pretty ****ing mid. 9 of those games were against the bottom three teams in the Big effing 12. We went 5 and ****ing 4 against the bottom 3 teams in the conference ffs. 5 and 4 smdh.
I see Texas going 7-5 to finish Conference which puts them at 18-12 and probably 4th. If they crash out in the B12 Tourney they might miss a regional.
Texas has some elite bats, not enough good ball players/scrappy hitters to mix in with the elite sticks. The pitching staff is abysmal. Take out the Cal Poly series (who sucks complete ass) and the staff is almost a run a game worse this year under DPs expert tutelage. Freaking kiddin me?
Give me the following looks at new HC
Tim Corbin
Dave Van Horn
Brian O'Connor
Dan Heefner
That is my short list. I don't let all 4 say no. This is Texas Baseball ffs.
Wheather he’s telling the truth or not is irrelevant. At the end of the day he’s the AD he gets the credit. If Sark was on the hot seat so would CDC be
Texas Baseball should be held to a higher standard. I’m sure we agree KC. Hopefully so does CDC.
Now if by some miracle DP figures out how to go to Omaha then it is what it is. I’ll be happy to be wrong.
Yeah I don’t think he should keep his job. I’ve never been high on Pierece for a number of reasons, but the possiblity exists now that he’s doing JUST enough to warrant another year. We’ll see.
Even if we make the world series he needs to go he can't lead us into the best conference in baseball and expect to be beat by Missouri
So I hate to say it, but I still follow them baseball is just a love for me. Every series of recently they lose game 1 and then they win the next two. I don't understand it, but they have been doing it.
We’ve won every series except for the last place team. Hoping we can sweep Oklight this weekend.
“Traded” Mitchell Daley to Kentucky in the offseason. He’s having a solid year and they are ranked 9th. O’Dowd didn’t work out. Pierce is slotting Kennedy in as a lesser of the two evils but Kennedy is a Fresh and seems to be gaining some momentum at the plate. Smooth glove in the field but his error at OU last week was a killer in the Fri game.
