In a moment of anger after the UTSA loss I made 3, $100 bets… one each that we wouldn't make a regional, super, or to Omaha. Looking like smart bets.

Get the third out in the 9th, scratch across 1 run, win the game.
Earley killed momentum.
Bullpen is struggling.
I know, let's go to the bullpen.
The definition of insanity.
The problem with a lot of you guys is it's one game, and potentially a bad move. Tonight wasn't great. But let's wait and see the full body of work for Earley before making a final judgment. It's confirmation bias otherwise. And why a lot of you should t be running an athletic department.

Bruh. Focus on your short game. That's what I'm doing.

LMAO.... dude???? One game??? Are you new???

Let's play matchups.

You can't be freaking serious.
This team was ranked #1 pre-season.

He needs to apologize to the team and then needs to answer for it at the presser!
Y'all know you can talk about mistakes and poor choices without calling someone garbage, right?
The pitching changes were not well executed. I don't know if that's on Kelly or Earley. I would have left Jackson in.

Imo the management of the Bullpen was struggling much more than the bullpen
Man, our fans just can't take this. Guys bit***ing and moaning about bringing in Rudis to get the final outs were the same guys complaining about Kelly taking him out the other night. Guys bit***ing and moaning about us swinging more aggressively early in the count tonight are the ones, including myself, who have been griping about our batters taking too many fastballs right across the plate on the first 2 pitches of an at bat. All in all, our guys played a very solid game with a lot of bright points besides for a rare Prager off night, Rudis last inning disaster and some bad at bats from Schott, Henesler (against his old teammate) and a few others. Hopefully, our pitching staff tomorrow won't serve up as many home run balls as we managed to do tonight.

First it was "wait until SEC play, these non conference games don't matter"
I don't have a good answer for you.HoustonAg2106 said:nothingbutlove said:
There's still time for the team to get it together.
And there's 2 more games in the series.
This was a tough loss though.
Serious question, what makes you think anything is going to get better? Just because it's possible?
I'm usually a pot banger, but I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet.
Maybe, but the guy pushed every wrong button tonight.Capitol Ag said:

bc we were at bat
That was in the middle of an absolutely crazy inning and we had already gotten in the pitcher's head.

But what if the mistakes and changes were pure garbage?

Aggie reporters don't bite the hand that feeds them.
We need to stop being nice good Aggies and instead hold coaches accountable when things dont go right. They aren't your friends and they aren't people to cozy up next to especially after they ditch our team for a hated rival.

No they won't. A&M media is soft as baby ****.
Well, no. He had a much better lineup than this. He had Sorrell, Gavin, and Montgomery. And he had multiple more ace bullpen guys on the roster who went Pro after last season. And in the postseason Schloss benefited from pitching overall just over-performing vs regular season.Fat Bottom Squirrels said:Ag1188 said:you're really overstating the talent we've got in both departments.

This is not turning around this season. What an absolute waste of the best talent we've ever had on campus.
You're probably right. Schloss was worth every freaking penny for what he was able to do with this group.

Except this has been a consistent red flag with this staff / team. People are free to share their opinion that they pitching staff has been managed poorly.

It's not just him, these are D-1 baseball players. Motivating a kid is one thing, but a kid not doing his job is something completely different.
yes ma'am, but it makes me feel better in the moment.trouble said:

LOL...AC won't let them even think about asking the questions that NEED to be asked.
Well, that sucked.
Figured out Earley's walk up song

Partner it's no longer one game of bone headed coaching decisions. It's now multiple games where his decision making has lead to less than stellar outcomes. He is building a resume full of them. It is not generally a good thing for your head coach to be the one learning on the job. But, I digress.

"Garbage" is baseball slang for "sucks ass". It's not personal.
Beyond the 9th inning pitching substitution debacle, what was the rationale for the Bear Harrison substitution? I don't believe he even touched a ball during his at bats.
tonight was the 9th time this season...A&M has been held to 4 runs or less
7 times at Blue Bell
7 times at Blue Bell
2 of the 3 feel like a sure thing at this point.
Would love to lose all $300 but that seems pretty unlikely
