Is this team ranked next week?

---

Honestly they shouldn't be in the top 25.

---

I wish we aren't. Let them work for it

Was it as bad on TV as it was in person?

I mean the mock amazement when we'd simply connect for a deep fly out. This is approaching "kiss your date on first downs" level

Will be there today and Sunday after missing last night. Hopefully I'll bring the good karma for once in my freaking life

---

Yeah. That worked out well.

Unfortunately yes.

I assumed Kash would go to first when Sorrell comes back. If Erickson can handle left (which honestly, I don't know I don't remember him having any issues tonight but I also don't really remember much going out that way), move Kash to first now. I want Bindy to be great but not at the expense of games. He was far from the only fielding problem tonight though.

---

I've only been watching since Doug Rau's time but I can't think of a worse player. Probably a nice kid but not a D1 player.

As I said in another post I domt trust any of them to do anything. That includes Kash playing a decent 1B. Try him him there and see, but I expect nothing but disappointment till proven otherwise. But go ahead and put all your hopes on Kash doing something right.

I've not given up. I just don't care about his credentials when he's been so awful so far. Everyone (including myself) brought up Targac's & Bost's credentials when they struggled early and nothing changed. Those credentials didn't matter. Kash's don't until proven otherwise at this point in my eyes.

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?

---

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.

---

Their are time limits in which the coaches can work directly with the players outside of games during the week.

---

Are you even sure it's all being used? Or are you just assuming our rookie head coach, whom I actually like and hope succeeds, is using all of the allotted time plus personal time to go over video. Because it would appear from this site that said coach may value a good work life balance over being the best coach he could be. I do realize those 2 things are not always mutually exclusive. But, a lot of the time the best coaches have the worst work life balance. That's why most of us are not cut out to be coaches just fans and keyboard warriors.

Dixi, it is not your fault! Keep bringing it tomorrow.

At least our starting pitching isn't a dumpster fire.

---

Arguably elite so far. Problem is everything else... yikes.

---

I don't know much about baseball, but if this is true and our bats come around by tournament time, could we be good?

Might have to win the tournament if bats don't come around, but that's almost 45 games away.

I caught the 6-9th on radio otw home from dfw. It was brutal listening to them talk about how anemic we were. Lots of jokes made about us.

My friend and I went to both the Arizona and Oklahoma State games, and it was very disappointing to lose 4 consecutive games to drop to 5-4, including 0-2 in the Houston Astros College Classic. It was even more frustrating to not score a single run yesterday.

No one can, that's why the exercise is useless. I would venture none of us had a full accounting of the hours in his week We don't know what happens when he's in the office at Olsen, or when he's at home, or the gym or church or …. To me that's actually the point.

No but those claiming Earley is not focusing enough on his job because he takes a few hours a week to help coach his kid's team know whether he is ether. I suspect Earley spends far more time during the season on his job than most of those bemoaning him having a somewhat balanced home life and the same is probably true for large chunks of the off season as well. I can't imagine him obtaining his current position at a young age was due to him doing the minimum required but I could be wrong.

Yes it is well documented that many successful coaches sacrifice home life for their job. Such "dedication" is often lauded particularly with football. Also many coaches attempt the same, maybe even have short term success then burn out. A name that comes to mind is Billy Gillespie. On the other hand Soggy Augie was extremely successful while seemingly having interest beyond baseball.

He's not coaching little league.

Yeah- what is it clawy semantics queen?

(Not different than little league).
