 Pitching, hitting, defense, coaching-

There is no facet of our game which is playing anywhere near championship ball. Not even .500 against decent teams. And I don’t see much help on the way until Pierce starts recruiting better.

 I’m going to take a sabbatical from this thread.  The bass are beginning to stack up on a couple of my deep holes on Fork. So I will be better off, the thread will be better off and the lunkers will be SOL.

4 errors today? I wonder what the season club record is? We can’t be far off.

I don't watch, but I follow this thread religiously. From what I see this team or I should say the bullpen has given up. The wheels have completely come off.

had to leave the house after Texas made it 8-6.  Not one bit surprised this team lost

Texas is in last place in the Big XII and even Pierce states in the article above that Texas isn't a good team. Let that sink in.

Sink in?  I watch every single game and have done the PBP for probably 90+% of them. At this point it’s like getting hit over the head with a sledge hammer repeatedly.

Happy Sunday Seamheads.
