Not sure why Weiner is idolized. With a healthy Ryan Prager and Ashenbeck transferring in, that is enough to cut your team ERA in half. The weirdo didn't even play baseball.


I mean, let's not let facts get in the way of your argument:

A native of Miami, Fla., Weiner joined Seattle's organization after one year as the minor league pitching coordinator for the Cleveland Guardians organization. He also founded The Arm Farm at the age of 19, an online platform for pitching development and charity serving youth and amateur baseball players that is still active today.

Weiner played two seasons at Lake Sumter State College before transferring to FIU in his hometown of Miami.

Wouldn't the assistant coaches all assume they were likely to be replaced when we hired a new head coach? If they were offered a job with Schlossnagle, I'm not sure I can blame them for taking it.
Agree.

Yeah, that was a pretty clear when all the pitches said they were staying put. It didn't sound like any love lost with them.

Weiner did a good job, but it's also rumored that he knew while we were still in Omaha and was actively recruiting for the sips prior to our season ending. He won't be welcomed back.

Interesting how Earley was a snake just days ago but now he gets grace because it was "a family move". Maybe Weiner was just as scared to lose a job??
Show me the specific Earley Hate Thread...i'll wait.

I don't recall people focusing their venom on anyone but Dewshenagle.

And anyone that chose to follow him.

Asst coaches are a bit of a grey area in that they have to support a family. Staying on a burning boat while looking for a better option seems like an okay choice.

Wasn't too crazy about his girly jogs out to the mound.

Max is rumored to be one of the ones recruiting for sip
Ags should use this and be very vocal that the incoming coaching regime doesn't want any of the current sip players and help propagate dissent in the sip program.

Braunny was singing his praises all
Season. Seems strange that he wouldn't be liked but I hadn't thought about the pitchers being the first to say they were staying. Who knows. I imagine Earley would have a great read on the situation so if he brings him back so be it.


Lets not lie to ourselves. He is considered one of the best, if not the best, pitching coach in the 2024 baseball season. Undeniable.

You can only question if he can repeat it or not.

Saying he wasnt good, easily replaceable, or players didnt like him is simply dumb. And you are being blind and purely emotionally driven. Prager has 100% spoke praises about Weiner.

Just saying...

I heard a rumor he wasn't liked as a coach by the players.

Not sure if it's true though.


How many pitchers entered the portal, followed him?


I am part of the problem and you're the victim...

So, what was Wiener supposed to do? IF he knew and Schloss was taking him, was he supposed to tell everybody during the playoffs? And not only further distract the team but also jeopardize his job either at A&M or tu.

It's like in business, knowing your boss is going to get fired or leave the workplace and you may or may not be asked to stay or go with him, what do you do?
You guys know all this stuff much better than I and I'm not sticking up for him, but I'm wondering what exactly he was supposed to do in this situation?

strange hire to begin with. from office analytics to on field player development/in-game coaching. it worked short term, just as darly morey couldve been the offensive coordinator when you have james harden and chris paul. i doubt he has much initial success at UT without any high end transfers.

plus, he jogs like a f*****.

Use some of Schloss's buyout $ to offer strong salaries and / or signing bonuses to any assistant coaches we want.


As far as I am concerned we should stop asking that question and leave that up to Earley to figure out. He knows more than we do about what happened and when it happened.

Besides this is his team now.

"Never really left" Earley is our coach!!!

There's your daily stupid joke.

A&M bio says he played 2 seasons at Lake Sumter State College. No more detail. Looks like he actually pitched 1 season (2016). Probably (purely a guess), he was on the team but didn't play as a freshman (redshirt or the usual - again just guessing). Here is a recent article from the Lakehawks official site showing he was a right handed pitcher for them in 2016. No stats that I could find but there is a picture. Hah. The bios and this article say he transferred to FIU but I don't see anything showing he played ball at FIU.

https://www.lakehawksports.com/sports/bsb/2023-24/releases/20240619othad3

To me that doesn't matter. From the outside looking in, it seemed he did a good job this year. The results were good and a big improvement over Yeskie. Y'all can debate or speculate as to exactly why and who gets what credit. Whether it's sustainable and so forth or whatever.

He also seemed (at least with respect to what's been discussed/speculated on this board) as the most complicit in the duplicity. Schloss's right hand so to speak.in the double dealing. True or not, I do not know.

From very early on (no pun), and in spite of the one poster's mischaracterization, people on this board were saying Earley was blind-sided and the least complicit and so forth. Again, I have no idea what is actually true or not. Just saying that was the overall tenor of this board. And it didn't begin when we learned Earley had interest, it began with Schott's tweet which occurred at the beginning of the aftermath early on. Almost immediately. The one about Earley and Cain.

On the other hand, there seemed to be no support from the team, especially the pitchers, for Weiner in the aftermath. That surprised me like it did others. The reasons are for y'all to speculate (or some may have actual knowledge). I personallyI do not know. But this board's tenor was that he was a snake in this (whether fact or speculation). The players don't really seem to care about "dick joke".

Your opening paragraph says it all.
People's access to coaches, successful or not, trumps their viewpoint.

What was the ethical, moral, and legal thing to have done? If he showed some intestinal fortitude, he could have said, "No, that is wrong and I will not go along." Or privately informed Alberts. How could the scenario have gotten any worse for us? I suspect there are posters on this site knew something was going down before Game 3.

Doing the right thing can be hard. NC and MW paychecks were neither signed by nor issued by JS. JS was their immediate supervisor and not their boss. Was that first step to break the employer's confidence easy, cause the second - use of burner phones - and third - try to recruit pitchers to go to Austin - steps seemed easy.

Having managed employees, I know janke crap like this happens ; but if I were either the hiring official or on the selection board, I would make the extra effort to not select them. How will I know you won't screw me over?

Partly because of the player reaction, I'd bet.

Half of TexAgs knew where there smoke, there's fire.

Then, in the post game 3 presser, coach was offended at the reporter's question (buying him another 12 hours to make the deal). This only created an odd confusion.

Dude had one foot out the door for a number of week's.

Both are recruits and not on the 2024 t.u. roster therefore I wasn't talking about either of those players.
