Try not to pour decades worth of Aggie Athletics frustration out on them.

I love your optimism! We lose nearly half of this lineup and I see one recruit we have in the top 10 in Texas, while Arkansas and LSU have multiple. Not being negative Nancy, just being a realist

Here's the key……..hang in there. I'll be 57 years old next month. I'm not gonna live forever obviously. And since the sports gods have decided to sh** on me until I shuffle off this mortal coil……. the Ags will win not one, but two natties, probably football/baseball, immediately after I'm gone.kyledr04 said:

Half the lineup??
From what I'm seeing we should be noticeably stronger, particularly on the mound where we struggled the most.
That is, unless we see some unexpected portal activity outbound
I think the lesson to be drawn here is not so much that this year's lineup underachieved, but that last year's lineup overachieved. Schloss worked a miracle last year. We were going to need a talent upgrade to duplicate last yea's results and it just didn't happen. I don't know if there is a single SEC team that made the NCAA tournament who would have traded rosters with us this year.cords12 said:
Most CWS teams lose a ton of talent to the draft or graduation. This team returned most of that batting lineup and added one of the best freshman hitters in Aggie baseball history! The pitching was bad this season, but that veteran lineup let us down tonight.
Really!!! Schloss is in his second year. Not sure you noticed but TCU just stomped Arky this weekend. You going to give all the credit to Saarloos? This program was poor shape when Schloss got it and he still has a long way to go. The only run we got last night came from a Freshmen Schloss managed to pull away from LSU. A&M finally has a real coach. Give him some time and I believe we will be regulars in Omaha.Warsteiner said:TxAg76 said:cords12 said:

Not trying to be an ass here, but how do you see us being noticeably stronger? Our pitching was awful. Our hitting was meh and we lose a lot of our lineup

Should have bunted earlier in the game with the runner on first, twice. You have to put pressure on the pitcher and defense. Had the opportunity tied 1-1 and didn't take advantage of it. I just don't get it. You HAVE to create the scoring chances. Good season but extremely disappointing end when all you needed was one win….

At the end of the day Schloss ran out of bailing wire and chewing gum. It's tempting to think "what if Fullerton could have gotten one clutch hit Sunday?" But realistically this team went as far as we could expect considering not having one reliable starting pitcher all season.
Those games that Wansing and Lampkin threw in the SEC Tournament were fool's gold after all. I'm sure Schloss is going to do his best to figure out what went wrong with pitching this year and how to fix it.
For me, the real "what if" is, what if Dettmer had started Sunday and given us similar results? Sunday was when Stanford was most vulnerable. That was a really difficult choice to make.TAMU1990 said:McInnis said:

It was tempting to think what if Haas had that slam in the 1st inning on Sunday.
I don't disagree, but how long is the "cupboard was bare" going to last? Three years? Four?Agryan00 said:Really!!! Schloss is in his second year.

Also, how many other coaches could of got us as this far given the start to the season and this pitching staff?
It wasn't just homerism- publications had us in the top 5 to start the year lolComplete Idiot said:
Overall, disappointing season relative to my FAN expectations, which are homer based and perhaps unrealistic, but I still have unwavering faith in Schloss and the program's future.
