*****TEXAS vs. BAYLOR - SUNDAY, 3:35 PM GAME THREAD*****

[TB14]

Bottom 9

bunt single and 2 walks load the bases with no outs for Baylor. Going to need a miracle.

I like Pierce, and players have to play complete games, but I’m not seeing a good product over the last few weeks.  We hammer Shaka for not closing out basketball games, Pierce is on the same trajectory currently in my opinion.  The pitching has dropped off significantly, and the pitching changes seem to be ineffective.  Players underperforming yes, but so is the coaching.  I am expecting the commentary that we have a young roster, and we are playing good teams, but we are still underperforming and dissapointing no matter who we are playing of late.

 

[MikeV73]

Well 2 of our best hitters are out with season ending injuries. We did score 5 runs already with several chances at more. Have to hit to at least get in scoring position. 

I get we’ve had some bad at bats but it’s not that bad. Augie had several great teams who hit worse than this. 

I hear you, but players and coaches need to step up.  I am a great armchair coach who never played baseball so I know what I am talking about

 

[TB14]

Pierce has already coached 2 top 25 teams in 2 years and took one of them to the equivalent of the elite 8. This team is still in position to host a regional. Please don’t compare him to Shaka.

 

[TB14]

Baylor wins 6-5

 

[MikeV73]

Well, that was dissapointing but expected unfortunately.  The early season relief pitching success has abandoned ship and is losing games for Texas.  Combine that with no timely  hitting and this is a recipe for more dissapointing series.

Agree he has success, and hopefully he can improve the team.  Don’t mean to offend anyone with my comparison, but that is what came to my mind this evening so I typed it.

Pierce has to do a better job recruiting. 

That’s where it all starts.

Season is on the skids.

What’s bad is tuning in to see Texas baseball at 3:05 and see Baylor sports. No, thanks, Baylor!

Oh, guys, The sky is falling. The sky is falling!
