I guess some people have never been to a strip club or seen one on TV.
It's important that we put tip buckets on the dugouts if it's strip club material…


Don't give them ideas.

Agree. The folks with their minds in the gutter and the negative Nancies will never change.

I know that from experience. Have stories to tell.

This. Schloss really has more and better things to focus on than what fans are doing in the stands. Yet this is what he chooses to ruminate about and bring up at the press conference. He needs to let it go the same way most of us have just accepted that the dance team will be at baseball games. I've never known a coach to be more invested in what individuals are doing in the stands and controlling of the day-to-day operations.

We have never had a coach like Schloss.....he's brought an entire new mentality.... he's a winner. I assume every little detail matters to him.
Watching or not watching the dance team has no impact on winning a baseball game.

So, what days does the Dance Team perform? We were there Saturday, right behind the 1st base dugout and down the row from the aforementioned Prop Guy, and there was no Dance Team that day. Is it just a Sunday thing?

Calling it a press conference paints a picture rather different from reality. If you watch the video, you can see that Schloss is still breathing pretty heavily. He's still wound up from punching through a barrier that was getting really frustrating. Hell, he got ejected Friday night. If someone were to stick a microphone in my face under those circumstances, lord knows what I would say.
You're right, not really a press conference. But the statement stands, especially considering your point. If he's in an emotional state where he's going to say what's on his mind with no filter and that's what's on his mind after winning a tight ballgame to avoid being swept then he's really thinking too much about it. He's gotta' let it go. (I'm talking more about the newspaper thing than fans saying nasty things.)

3 pages and I still don't know what happened


Some jerk was badmouthing our players from behind the dugout. Schloss called him out in his presser and let his emotions get away. Thin skinned people on here took it personally.

Pretty much the nutshell.

I really don't know when this fanbase got so damn soft. Y'all go find your safe place now I'm sure bad old Schloss will apologize and beg your forgiveness. Christ you'd think he'd shot Rev.



Agreed. People will take an inch and go a mile to make a bigger deal about it than it was. He was simply really irritated from hearing it all game probably mixed in with the struggle to start the year.


Didn't Schloss do exactly the same thing, except even moreso? He took a great crowd showing, on a Sunday against Portland, for a team that was struggling, and made the focus a couple of fans saying less than encouraging things and a guy holding up a paper.

I was sitting pretty close to all of this and didn't notice any of it, but I talked to someone who sat right behind our dugout and he says the only thing he heard was a few yells like "swing the bat" when Targac had that horrible at bat where he watched three strikes, or "stop trying to hit a home run every swing." Maybe there was more but it didn't make a big impression on many people, and I don't think it's normal that the coach would be one of the ones to pick up on it more than anyone else.

Pretty tame stuff and not anything worth singling out in a postgame presser after a dramatic win in front of a great crowd.

I think Schloss was frustrated, stressed from the game, was super hot about Chestnut running thru the stop sign, and then relieved excited about the win, and the combo of all that had him hot and on edge, and he chose his subjects and words poorly.

Doesn't change how excited and happy we are to have him as coach, but he doesn't need a knee-jerk defense of those comments either.
I think you are correct. Have a friend who played for the Aggies swing at a pitch that was a take sign and hit a homer. RC told him congrats on the homer but take a seat on the bench and didn't play for a few games. You do what the coaches say. Take, stop, hit and run on an obvious ball pitch, bunt, steal, etc. The week was probably wearing on Schloss, terrible umpiring on Friday, cold bats, along with the newspaper guy and a player running through a stop sign. He wasn't happy and I'm sure Chestnut got an earful.

You're right about that, at least for yesterday. That ninth inning rally was about me getting on the rowing machine and nothing else.

Schloss said "I don't know what kind of place this is", regarding fans yelling at players over the dugout.

And was he mad about the dancing girls being disrespected by old people with newspapers? Just clarifying.. Yelling at players seems way worse than that tho.

Maybe he can take up for us who want the girls on the sidelines at football games like female cheerleaders should be.
There's still time to delete that last sentence

Every. Damn. Time.

He wants to win. He wants fan support. I loved RC with every bit of my tiny dark heart but it's time to get lost in the Schloss and support him.

Here's something else Schloss mentioned in his interview in a more positive light. Said he had never hit 92 mph in practice but did it in the game. That's rising to the occasion. I see he came from Blinn but his bio is empty. Anyone know anything else about him?

As far as ragging/heckling players......

Way back in the day when I was at Olsen for pretty much every game, we routinely ragged on opposing players. We eviscerated umpires and MJ on more than one occasion. It's part of the game as a player, coach and umpire.

I don't recall much ragging on our own players outside of an error or sitting on a strike 3 call (which we did way too often back then). But it was pretty much limited to baseball ragging, nothing personal that I remember. I don't think personal or way out of bounds would have flown.

We had more than one left fielder for opposing teams come and give us props back when Aggie Alley existed because of how....creative...we could get. God forbid the left fielder had a weird last name or screwed up and didn't make a play they could have - we were absolutely relentless and merciless. And a lot of alcohol was involved as well. It's the game and an integral part of it, especially when you get to that level and above.

We didn't have dancing girls then. I would not have minded one bit had they been a part of the production. At least 1/3 of MLB teams, and maybe closer to half of them, have some form of dancing girls as entertainment. It's far from some minor league/bush league phenomenon. But there are still going to be plenty of Ags that think anything women at sporting event is somehow violating some sacred Aggie biblical text (it isn't) and be against it on principle regardless. The few times we had yell leaders at Olsen it was cringe worthy - they just don't translate to baseball at all. Couldn't speak for basketball, but assume pretty close to the same there as well.

Fans yell, rag and get so emotional they often say things out of anger or exasperation that they ordinarily wouldn't say. With A&M baseball I'm guessing it is decades of substandard results on the field bubbling to the surface, especially after how last season ultimately ended up. And not understanding that even though Portland isn't some historical powerhouse it doesn't mean that they don't have good players or that because baseball is a finicky sport of streaks and appeasing the Gods that even a far more talented team can still lose a game or two when everything doesn't line up early in the season like fans want it to.

I agree with some of the posters on here and the premium board that the prop guy is in a tough spot. He doesn't want to watch the girls shake their stuff from below because it can five 'creepy old man' vibes, so he reads a newspaper. Could he look at his phone? Probably. But then does he get called out for looking at his phone? Maybe. Maybe the newspaper is a generational thing. I don't know. Does he get up and leave every time they come out? He could, but then he would be called out for leaving. He's going to be considered rude every time. At least he isn't yelling profanities at them. Maybe he should wave dollar bills. Would anyone be ok with that? I'm sure worse has happened at other places.

I am of the mind the dancers don't belong at Olsen. I don't know if the comment that they're at Olsen because Schloss' daughter danced at TCU is accurate, but I know TCU had dancers. I do feel like the dancers are a hill Schloss has chosen to die on, and he will be offended regardless of what anyone does or says about it.


The guy literally wore a bag over his head last season when they danced. Generational?

Best idea I've seen on this thread.

Get one of the staunchest defenders to video a whole routine from row one for all of us lolpoors. This way everyone can make an educated decision

THE Number 12 for a player was a great idea.
The Corps uniform connection is liked by most
The Dancing girls on top of the dugouts is disliked by most who feel it is not a part of baseball and Texas A&M
Does not need to be like TCU.
