Can't judge a baseball team on one loss to an inferior team. It's baseball. It happens
Good teams can lose to the ACUs of the world
Good teams can lose to the Xaviers of the world
Good teams do not typically lose 3 of 4 to the ACUs and Xaviers of the world
There's obviously a problem, and IMO recruiting is the root of it
The baseball board "experts" have tee'd off for years every time it's brought up, but there is a lot of local and regional talent that ends up elsewhere.
As for firing a coach before the season is over, I don't rule that out.
If you think a head coach is the problem, and is impeding success and development, then I don't think it hurts to let him go and hand it over to an assistant to finish the season. Maybe it could be the spark that is needed. Then you make a more permanent decision in May
Sometimes you just want to salvage a season, even if you know a permanent change is coming. It's doesn't cost
You anything and it might breathe life into the club
I'm not arguing for, or against it in our situation.
I just think that people are typically overly and reflexively averse to the idea, When in some situations, it might be a good thing

It's long overdue, COVID saved him last season, Rob is on borrowed time as it is. The contract is up this year and I sure hope we have our next guy lined up
How many college baseball coaches are let go mid season? Can't think of one.
I don't think RC should be shown the door before the season ends, but I DO think we need new blood

Seems a lot of big D1 teams are losing to....scrubs. Ou lost to SFA last night, I'm pretty sure SFA plays in a parkiing lot. .(..glad we don't play them)
But back to the Aggies......pitching outside of 2 or 3 individuals looks a mess right now. You shouldn't be giving up 10 and 6 run games to Xavier and ACUs of the world. If you can't dominate lineups to these teams what's going to happen...like say this weekend when you play decent teams?
Hitting.......there is none. Only reason we were in the Xavier games was because of the boatload of walks we got. Bunting looks like 8yr olds out there trying to bunt.....I don't like bunting usually - but we're not just giving away outs, we're giving away at bats as well.

If our hitters can't handle Abilene Christian pitching, what will they look like when they see LSU or Miss State or any other SEC school??? Won't be pretty.
RC has to go. NOW. One more underachiever milking our school for money year after year, while never delivering. He simply is not capable of delivering an SEC championship, much less a CWS championship.

As we enter the bottom of the 10th against Tarleton, are you kiddi6ng this team off it's performance yet?

But it took 10 innings to beat, Tarleton? Typically this would be a 7-0, 10-0 type of game with 2nd stringers playing
Tarleton lost like 14-1 the night before to UTA ... got like 3 hits
If it put us first in line to get the best guy out there to make a change during the season I'd be all for it. Not sure that's the case though. I think you can begin looking even while RC's finishing his term.
that should have been "are you judging this team off it's performance yet?" Cell phone + fat fingers.Captain Pablo said:rather be fishing said:Captain Pablo said:

Yes
That has nothing to do with the fact that I like it when we win, and I don't like it when we lose
Wins are good things, losses are bad things
That is not inconsistent with a realization that we are performing rather poorly so far this year
I will be happy if that changes
I will be unhappy if we continue losing
Is this the Maroon Dawn Enthusiasts Club?
Only time you fire a coach mid-season is if the team has quit on them or they've done something off the field that requires an immediate response. As frustrating as this season has been (last night not withstanding) neither of these apply, so let him finish the season.
I know it's early in the season, but for this weekend, this thread is not aging well.

Actually it's proving that Rob did not have his program ready to play and screwed the teams RPI losing to scrubs in Xavier and Abilene Christian, thank God we won in extras against Tarleton, and ruined the season out the gate....
The season is not ruined lmao
If you believe that, why are you still posting here?! Seasons over, after all.

The season is not ruined. But I'm not surprised you have this kind of attitude.

Beating OU helps
I think we will find out about this team very shortly...as soon as end of March.
I picked Ags to go 0-3 in Round Rock due to the absolute debacle of the first week at home. Some folks said 2-1 as they advised Baylol and OU suck this year.
I still have difficulty wiping Xavier, ACU, and even Tarleton out of memory.
The level of competition in March is about to get serious...so we will find out soon enough.
I wish Ags all the best...but if you are a RC apologist or sunshine pumper...i wouldn't get too giddy over the last 2 games.
Long season ahead. Next 30 days will tell the story.

Who are you ranting at?
SEC is again, as has been for our tenure, very strong. Baseball is a weird sport. We won't know it all until the end. Good teams lose. Good teams get hot. That's why baseball is best. Anyone has a shot on any given day.

I like Pablo, too. He's measured and prepared in his RC bashings. All alone, surrounded by the utterly clueless.
Agreed. Then RC needs to go.

Is it a good thing that we had to come back in order to scrape by mighty Incarnate Word?

A W is always good. It's not like we are a terrible team, when you consider there are 300 D1 baseball teams and we are in the Top 100, but this team may not be one of the top 64 to make a regional tournament.....
Looking at our SEC competition and peer teams in the state, we are clearly well below average. Even Alabama who does not have much baseball history is good this year. I would be shocked if we don't finish last in the SEC West.

Not a shock. They beat both us and Texas in 2019.
