Pressure? They are absolutely exhausted today. No reason to make this game some type of "lose and the season is over" situation.
So if a clueless idiot follows the wrong path for an extended period of time, that suddenly makes him right?Rocco S said:12th Man Ag said:

Good for him. He hasn't been following RC coached baseball teams long.

One positive from last night, we outplayed the #1 team in baseball for 8.5 innings. Hopefully this young team can learn from it and win today

4 texas teams for early bragging rights and recruiting. It's big. Dont want to go 1-2 against the other teams that are also recruiting the kids Texas and Rice used to own. We still have to play both those teams this year.

Schloss absolutely owns Childress, more so than Augie ever did.

Just really bothers me that RC has not adjusted. He's notorious for taking out the hot hand.
doesn't look like it. His posts are gone and those that quoted him, their posts are emptyPhatMack19 said:

They'll be spin, we had weeks of it after last year. But I can't understand why anyone is upset, it's not like we haven't seen this year after year. Time to laugh it off and move on. Well at least that's where I'm at it at this point.sharpdressedman said:
Can't. Beat. The. Frogs. The game announcers kept saying the recent history indicated TCU would likely find a way to overcome the comfortable Aggie lead and win a thriller. Many watching the game had the same thoughts and were waiting for it to happen.
You can spin this until you puke. It was nothing less than more of the same.
So he pulls guys too soon while leaving guys in too long at the same time. That, right there, is mighty impressive.Average Joe said:Duck Patrol said:

And leaving the struggling hand in too long praying they fix it on their own.

Despite my frustration with Childress' devotion to bullpen roles....
TCU is the unanimous #1 team in college baseball across every poll. Everyone was in agreement that our team should be in the middle of a "rebuilding" year. The Aggies have gotten some impressive performances from freshmen and a handful of pitchers. Going into this weekend, I was considering the idea that we might get swept.
They embarrassed, what in some polls, was a Top 10 team in Tech and showed that they could look better than #1 for 8.5 innings (before Childress decided he couldn't go off script). A win today would be a big boost, but the performances over the past 2 days have me thinking Regional Host isn't an unrealistic goal for this group considering we have a more 'favorable' SEC schedule than in some years past.

I like baseball. Baseball fans not so much. Pretty juvenile display on this board.
Then what is your take on the last 2 years when A&M was expected to make the CWS with loaded rosters and being highly ranked during both regular seasons?who?mikejones said:

It's like he's completely tone deaf. There is basically zero logic to taking Martin out when he did and then leaving Sherrod after the second walk. Now Sherrod's psyche is likely fried for an indefinite period and the team psyche has likely already been set for the rest of the season.aggie1906 said:So he pulls guys too soon while leaving guys in too long at the same time.

A little "RC's advocate": By bringing in Sherrod, would that have meant that both Martin and Sherrod could be used today? Whereas if he takes Martin the extra inning, Martin would have been burned for today? I can see why many think he should've stayed with Martin, but ideally anybody in that bullpen should be able to nurse home a five run lead in the ninth.
The problem for me is the walks. I don't care if you're Martin, Sherrod, Max, or somebody from the stands - walking four (?) straight to start the inning with that lead is absolutely inexcusable.
Ok. Didn't know for sure.Goose06 said:AllThings12thMan said:

Martin was burned regardless.
I agree with this for the most part. Young team. Great future.who?mikejones said:

Typical Childress team. Mental weakness.
I'd like to know why you think that. Have Childress's teams not looked mentally weak against teams like TCU?Amazing Moves said:Dumbest post on the thread.jmcfar_98 said:

But how does he do with guys who aren't struggling or hot? or are those the only two options?Average Joe said:aggie1906 said:So he pulls guys too soon while leaving guys in too long at the same time. That, right there, is mighty impressive.Average Joe said:Duck Patrol said:

He takes out the HOT arm too soon and leaves in the STRUGGLING arm too long. I'm not sure how that is a hard concept to understand. I guess reading is hard.
