In an effort to post something positive, Jackson has looked good out of the pen and I've liked what he's shown this season so far
Was just going to post the same. He's been sharp so far.

Unsure how you can say that when the season isn't even 1/4 over.


I used the word might for a reason

if the Ags lose to Rice tomorrow

yes


They'll be ranked. But the drop will be pretty far. Probably 20-12 range. I mean, ranking right now really mean nothing at this point anyway.

Win tomorrow and I'd say we drop to #12

Lose tomorrow and I'd say maybe #22

He coaches his son's team in the evening after he works for us all day long. Just like other fathers. I don't think a few hours a week is affecting his job..

He absolutely does not owe us every hour of every day.
When you choose to take a HIGHLY visible executive position, optics come with that.

As a father, that's part of what you accept when you choose to take that level of position.

We get you are the queen of white knighting. But absolutely, when the team you were essentially gifted is WiLDLY underperforming, it's going to come under scrutiny if you're not working 24 hours a day.

A head coach at A&M doesn't get the luxuries during the season dads with lower profiles get.

That's just reality. And that's what the money is for.
Since this is your position, what exactly should Earley doing that he isn't getting done those few hours a week he helps coach his kids LL team?

POS really screwed us over. Smug Ahole is probably laughing his ass off.
At what point do we stop blaming him for this?

The whole thing las summer was that they HATED playing him.

So why do they look exponentially more miserable playing for someone they supposedly loved.?
Because they are disappointed in themselves.

We've been through poor offense in the past. This is up there for worst defense I can recall through 9 games so far.

Maybe he's confusing coaching a major college program and a little league team. Like he gets them mixed up. I wonder who would win if they played?

For whatever reason, I'm not as frustrated as last night. I truly see both teams Turing it around. Baseball seems obviously more lost but, it'll turn around.

When was the last time we had twice as many errors in a ball game as we had hits?

We are almost 20% done with this season. A few things seem pretty clear.

- starting pitching is solid and is plenty good to put us in position to win a lot of games.

- we don't have as much talent in the batters box as we thought we did after losing Gavin. Henseler and TK look like the real deal but most of the other new faces aren't nearly at the level of the guys they replaced.

- we have and are going to continue to lose games due to Earley's inexperience.

- it looks like fielding will cost us games as well

- team was vastly overhyped

Would be great if all the whiners would post some. Two birds, one stone so to speak.

For starters additional batting practice and one on one film study with each hitter to go over what needs correcting. Obviously whatever amount they're doing now isn't enough.

You're right that struggling performance leads to increased scrutiny, but that scrutiny starts to look pretty silly when he's making time for his family and the last coach we had was attending pineapple parties
And you know what? Not ONE person was asking or questioning that. Because when you are a head coach and your team is winning, nobody is scrutinizing your schedule.

Never came up one time.

Work/Life balance depends on a lot of things.

It's pretty typical when moving into a promoted position to need to spend waaay more hours than you would in a role you've been in for 10+ years. Especially when things aren't going great.

Well given they play on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday, and he's absent Monday & Wednesday, that leaves Thursday for his presence in practices. But I was assuming practices were after 5pm. I will take a great dad over any coach, but THIS team at this level, needs some serious leadership right now.
