Long pants are for cricket.

Good, players should get to wear what they like.
More importantly, the team aren't enslaved and they're preferences as current students sets the direction for how traditions work at Texas A&M. Many students are students of tradition while also acknowledging that change is constant in life so it is the overriding "tradition."

I appreciate you if you disagree, by the way. But at least consider what I write when you find yourself needing to make people behave specific ways. It very much is not worth it to insist.

Outscore a team 31-1 in a series and you can wear shorts for all I care.
Begrudglingly, this. I love the tradition and look of the knee length pants, but there are bigger fish to fry.

I personally prefer the look of the short pants but the players don't and it's their opinions that matter, not mine.

Yes ma'am!

Team high socks or stirrups as well. But this is the player's decision all the way.

As long as it's their call it's fine. Again not the look I prefer but I'm not playing so NBD. Keep winning series by 30 runs and you can go out there in jockstraps for all I care

I'd agree, but you've still got the Little Lord Fauntleroy pants listed too high.

regardless of up or down, they should all look the same IMO, Its a "UNIFORM". But then again, everything is so relaxed no days, so do as you please.

My son hates wearing his pants high in baseball. Of course he has really big legs. Maybe that has something to do with it. What does it matter to all of us what some college kid's baseball pants look like?

It's because Schloss has lost control of the team.

You are way overthinking this one. My thoughts are simple, the teams pants styles don't have to match for me. If some like long pants. So be it. If some want the short pants and socks, that's works as well. Whatever makes the individual player most comfortable to play at his best.

Maybe there are some players that could care less. But the players I have known definitely preferred one.

I'm not overthinking it. I'm suggesting how we should look at maintenance of traditions after we are no longer current students.

If we screw up this season, then I'm gonna be pissed about the long pants. Right now, I'm tolerating it.

Instead of our knee. It looks ridiculous. Dirtbags wear their pants at their knees. Why did this change?
because we have out scored our opponents 40-4 with them like that!!

I prefer the stirrups, but I can imagine that it's less comfortable

The Knickers/Knee length pants look is phasing out all throughout baseball. We rarely see them at the High school level. Starting to see the tapered look make a push as well as the "dirty mids". Our guys in our program don't like the short pants, and there is the ol' "you look good, you feel good, then you play good" adage. Who cares what the Ags wear, just win baby!

I'd wear baseball pants to work if they'd let me.

(Baseball pants, not cricket)

I kinda like the dirty mids. They feel like they are inspired by the stirrups look, but more comfortable
