A 10-8 Texas State squad beat us at a neutral site; something is wrong. I have tix to the 4/8 home game against the Bobcats, just hope our pitching staff can rally and somehow, someway, eke out a win over a superior opponent.

I am not saying all is well and y'all are crazy, the bullpen is totally unreliable. But Boehm pitched very well in Lubbock, so I was not concerned when he came in. Then he got shelled. UW was hitting .219 as a team before last night and they exploded on us. Are the wheels coming off? Or is it just one of those baseball things? All I am saying is it is WAY too early to start saying we need a new coach.

OK, sorry for being so critical - didn’t realize this is supposed to be a safe space. Upon further reflection, I hope CDC was there to enjoy a beer and hot dog and didn’t pay any attention to the game.
 
Its doesnt have to be a safe space in order for it to be a place for rational discussion of our teams strengths and weaknesses. When u start off reacting to a non-conf loss by intimating CDC needs to heat up the coach's seat, I figure rational discussion will not be forthcoming. Perhaps I am wrong.
 
Maybe we have a talent deficit and maybe it’s not Pierce’s fault. I follow NIL fairly closely for football, but not baseball. How do we measure up against other baseball programs when it comes to NIL money?

You may not agree, but I would love to hear how you think it is not rational to discuss Pierce's weaknesses (many of which you yourself have acknowledged in other posts) and question whether he is capable of leading our program. And for the record, I didn't "start off reacting to a non-conf loss" - I began questioning way back in 2019 when we finished dead last in conference.

I have thought about this a lot lately. It is my understanding we are way low in baseball NIL money. On TSU they said if we were in the SEC now, we wud be dead last. So that cud very well be the issue and I am confident that if Coach Pierce tells CDC that its a problem, CDC will get it fixed and fast. I do know it was an issue when we lost Kash to TTU, but beyond that, IDK. I just hate that we wud be in a spot where the reason the team is not where we wud like is because we cud not afford some players we wanted.

I have to wonder about the amount of NIL money being allocated to baseball as well. That's one thing that would NOT be Pierce's fault - and would rest with CDC instead. But, it seems hard to fathom that CDC wouldn't understand that college baseball is one of UT's flagship programs (even if not in revenue terms). That is, UT is easily in the Top 3 of collegiate baseball programs of all time (arguably only behind USC and LSU). Are we really going to let that slide due to others spending more NIL? I hope the hell not.
 
Double. Men on 2 and 3. No outs.

Howard getting behind in the count, then hanging meat high in the zone.
 
Porter Brown makes the catch at the wall. He runs into the wall. Runner on 3rd tags in and scores.
 
Welp, that sucked. Let's see if the Horns have more power than last night. No wind today so it's a friendly hitters park.
 
If I CDC at the game today, im gonna ask him to slow down The Eyes of Texas. The tempo is too fast and there is NO prelude.
