Maybe what Sdao and teammates need to do is consider the source when looking at internet blathering.
Maybe I am wrong but I get a sense that a lot of insulting or degenerate comments coming from social media are from people who are not Aggies at all...and who constantly try to cause discord..because haters gonna hate and have nothing better going on in their lives than petty taunting of a school they hate.
The internet just gives idiots an anonymous open forum in which they run their mouths because they are losers and cowards who would never say those things standing right in front of the player in person..at least within arms length of being belted in the mouth.
Early needs to teach his players that every thing that goes bad for a player or the team will be the subject of ridicule on the internet.
Hell..every bad pitch or strikeout or error or baserunning mistake...all will come under fire when you play for Texas A&M...especially when media outlets pick you as the number 1 team in preseason polls.
The players need to just shut off all social media because it will never be as forgiving as they think it should be...especially when getting paid to play at a high profile program whom everyone had high expectations due to last seasons performance.
If you don't want to see these things then you have to shut off the social media and go about your business of becoming a better player and focusing on the task of self-improving...because there will always be smartazz clowns on the internet...that will never change.

The day these and all athletes started taking money. to play is the day they opened themselves up for heavy criticism. Can't have it both ways.
Being an ass is never necessary. But the criticism if your comment is true certainly should go where the buck should stop first. Mostly anonymous kvetching in the interwebs is cowardly not "deserved."

Don't validate it.
Don't excuse it.
DO NOT DO IT.

Aggies especially know better. We send men and women to war knowing some will not return. Baseball is a kids' game by comparison to that.

You cannot write that malarkey and believe it unless you are a husk of man who is hollow inside. Or given over to evil incarnate.

FWIW, Brauny said he received texts from former players too that the boards and social media were really awful, bad as that's ever been. I don't know what was said as I didn't go looking for it.

Heavy criticism is one thing if you are sticking to facts and play on the field. Where it goes too far is when folks make it personal, hateful, obscene, vulgar, etc.

Some people need to read what they post before they press send. Just because it crosses your mind doesn't mean you should post it.

What was gross was the simultaneous sucking of Aggie sports baseball & basketball which were on for everyone to watch awful baseball and even worse basketball.


Idk which one was worse! Basketball is losing to some of the best teams in the country. The baseball schedule has a been a complete joke and we've lost 4 in a row. It's very hard to watch

I want to see them having fun out there today, playing loose and enjoying the game they get to play.

I want to see everyone hitting the ball, 15+ hits and 10+ runs, and hopefully a comfortable win.

Make Baseball Fun Again

I would have loved to hear Hunter's thoughts when he posted last night. Just this board got disgusting and it was tame compared to what I saw elsewhere.

After the performance (or lack thereof) I watched Rice put on at the feet of Tennessee yesterday, we had better come away with this one.

How does Rice compare to teams like Elon, Cal Poly, and Texas State? Looks like they must be pretty bad. Betting odds have us as -670 favorites despite the fact we've been able to muster 7 runs in 4 games.

Have we considered the possibility that cartoon aliens from another planet stole the talent from our players to win a baseball game against the looney toons?

It really saddens me how far Rice has fallen. But hopefully it's a good thing for us and we can get right against them!

I'd say they go 1-2 against Elon. Maybe 2-1

They are insanely bad. Zero pitching and zero pop in the lineup. It's been brutal since COVID for them. Zero regionals since I think 2017? And they haven't come close since or even finishing .500

I can't really put my finger on it because if you think about it, there's so much talent in Houston and that education is enough for probably a lot of people to want to go.

Be better, Ags! The results suck but it's not because they don't care or aren't trying. Be disappointed all you want but there's no reason to get personal or to be an arse.





I'm not disrespectful or hateful to any players or staff. Anyone who does that is immature or off in some regard. However, the idea that they are CBB players immune to criticism went out the window when they took that first check.

When the product on the field is disgusting, you can imagine the fans will be as well. Thus is life in the real world.

I just want them to play ball like I know they can. I know this has to be hard for them. I have played sports and I know what happens when you press. You just get tighter and tighter. They need to get out of their own head space. We all love Aggie Baseball and we all want to see them succeed.
