****Offical Texas Baseball Thread****

Aggy with a hell of a comback. Were down 8-2 or something and now winning 15-8 in the 8th. If I am Schloss, I am demanding to the powers that be that they better stop allowing those fcking girly bubble machines in the park, if you refuse, I an going to Austin. Grown men blasting away with these mega bubble makers is one dumb fck of a sight to behold. Good grief, can’t they come up with a song like sweet caroline or some kind of tradition that isn't outright stupid and girly. I mean do they have contests to determine the most stupid tradition to make their own? Rant over.

It’s aggy. The home of the jizz sock and “yell leaders”…..
Bubble machines seem to be par for the course.
 
Well I mean he does have ties to CDC but I had heard he was about to get paid at Tennessee. Guess we will find out in a couple weeks

Uh. Fullerton and Augie were not small time. Augie was the top coach.

Van Horn ain’t leaving because he’s like all the other dumbass swine, thinks they’re better than they are. But DVH would absolutely kill it at Texas.

Corbin May be looking for a change in scenery. A new challenge.

O’Sullivan is least likely which is why he’s last on my list.

O’Connor might like bump in pay.

Tadlock wouldn’t be too bad either. I have much respect for him from way back in the day of his JUCO days

Uh. I didn’t say small time. I said smaller successful program which was because of Augie and the reason he moved to “big” Texas.

Fair enough.

But Augie was the best coach in CB at that time

Yes, and that’s what I said. I hate message boards and text messages in general. People read what they want to read into a post. But if we all sat down and had a beer and shot the shit then we’d all be on the same page. As I get older I’ve learned to either pick uo the phone and have a direct call or jump on a plane and go play a round of golf or an expensive dinner.

A few notes to pass along on the baseball front.

1. Texas head baseball coach David Pierce has not been officially let go by the university, but there is a sense from the sources that we've talked to that it is only a matter of time before it happens.

2. Sources believe that Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte CDC is running a one-man search for a replacement and and is quickly narrowing in on his guy.

3. Brian O’Connor (Virginia) will not be the next coach, as he signed a 7-year extension today. Likewise, Tennessee's Tony Vitello is not expected to be the guy. Based on information from sources, there is no reason to believe that Jim Schlossnagle will be the next head coach.

If this is right we will be seeing movement on this probably in the next few days because the guy CDC wants(whoever that is) is available. If you don’t see movement on this by mid next week I’d say CDC is at least going to take a swing at one of those guys

Evidently JS didn’t talk to HillabeeBaw’s uncle about Vitello. He says it’s a done deal….

The ump for tonights Fla/aggy game is very inconsistent. He is screwing aggy. Not by a lot, but he is calling out in Fl favor.
 
It’s not a good look when you let one of your senior leaders transfer and he walks off homer in the Kentucky game. Impact players don’t transfer out of Texas. I think he made a bad call letting him go in favor of O’Dowd and an upcoming freshman, Kennedy. Unfortunately neither one could hit consistently: Daly was a three year starter. Helped us get to the CWS. Had a tough 3rd year but he was always a gamer. His bat and leadership would have earned us a few more wins and a better seed. Hoping he wins it with Kentucky.

If you lose a transfer to Southern Miss, I can live with that. Losing a senior transfer to an SEC contender is BS. We’re THE University of Texas. We’ve been to exactly 50% of the CWS. If we lose a guy to a major, the guy we replace him with better be a BEAST!!

The more I consider it the more it seems to make sense. Corbin brings an eye on talent and a leadership approach that wins. Vanderbilt = Augie CFS. Double NC winner at a small school. Time for him to make a big move with big dollars and NIL behind him. Vanderbilt had an off year but usual high level expectation. Perhaps he knows he’s not gonna grab the key talent anymore. Kids won’t play at Vandy just because he’s the highest paid coach.

Watching the CWS. I am all for tradition in most cases, but the organ noise at baseball games has to be the most annoying sound in the world. For me personally, anyway.

This good detail on why DP gots to go.

Longhorns Country looked at every transfer from BIG12 schools in 2024, whether they transferred to the school this offseason or in one prior, to see how much the players contributed to the overall offensive and pitching production. With hitting, all teams were compared by the percentage of at-bats, runs, RBI, and total bases the transfer players produced. For pitching, the players were judged on their ERA, innings pitched, strikeouts, and total earned runs given up.
Of the non-Texas teams, the programs averaged 17 transfers on their team or 43% of the overall 40-man roster. Right away, Texas fell behind, only having 11 total transfers on the roster. But that doesn’t mean the transfers weren’t impactful, right?
Well, wrong.
Texas saw 21% of its offensive production come from transfer players, mostly from former Texas A&M catcher Kimble Schuessler. The average for the nine other teams was a whopping 48% of all offensive production. Teams averaged more than double the amount of runs, RBIs, total bases, and at-bats from transferred players as compared to Texas.

Pierce is like Dabo. One, he thinks he has to impress the high school kids by letting them develop... The problem is, that once the kid shows an inkling of success, he is off to MLB. Pierce is behind the times and won't change. He doesn't want to do the work to have to recruit high school and other teams rosters. He's probably too old.

Meh, maybe. The hard part in recruiting HS studs is either they are good enough to go pro or they must commit 3 yrs to a college. So naturally they will need development, or they’re just good but not MLB good. Where did Baleu come from? Big 12 player of the year, out of no where he comes. Does Pierce get credit for that one? Man, we had a good team that could win. Pierce is missing pitchers. Maybe he was just gambling that Witt was going to regain form and LBJ was going to have his historic year. Bad luck perhaps. Gotta give him some credit for trying to piece it together. BTW, LBJ can stay for another year if he chooses. And I’ll still take Corbin or, new dark horse, Nick Mingione.
 
I have a feeling that CDC will hire the right guy. Can’t wait to see. He may even let DP stay. DP is a good coach, just not elite.

I think st this point there is no shot he stays. They’ve let it drag on to long just for him to stay.
