The problem with a lot of you guys is it's one game, and potentially a bad move. Tonight wasn't great. But let's wait and see the full body of work for Earley before making a final judgment. It's confirmation bias otherwise. And why a lot of you should t be running an athletic department.

---

One game? Was this the first game you've watched this season?

Earley gets 1 season.

If A&M is smart they fire him after this season and stop the bleeding. Unfortunately the culture at A&M is overly patient.

Beyond the 9th inning pitching substitution debacle, what was the rationale for the Bear Harrison substitution? I don't believe he even touched a ball during his at bats.

---

Pulled a player with a .263 average for one batting .091 with 1/4 the number of ABs on the season. I'm not sure why that would be the time for that call. Too focused on "match-up" decisions.

If we weren't 10-7 right now I'd agree with you. I'm losing faith by the week in him and I'd consider myself a sunshine pumper… especially with baseball.

I'm really hoping we turn it around, we just seem to find new ways to lose.

What in the hell will we look like on the road if the wheels are already starting to work themselves loose?

The pitching changes were not well executed. I don't know if that's on Kelly or Earley. I would have left Jackson in.

---

Even if it was Kelly calling for changes I don't know how Earley is letting him make key defensive subs when the game is on the line. Earley should have enough experience as a hitting coach to know when a pitcher is cooking with gas and not giving a hitter anything.

Very similar to the sip offense last year. Nothing like the offense the Aggies fielded last season. Unfortunately, it looks like Longley has put his stamp on this offense.

This is not turning around this season. What an absolute waste of the best talent we've ever had on campus.

You seem to forget how banged up this team is. 3 of those "best talented" guys are out. 2 potentially for the year. This ISN'T and never was the #1 team in college baseball. That was a 100% healthy version of this team. This one has younger guys filling big holes and would have never been given that #1 ranking if it had been known. Im getting tired of this narrative that this team is a failure when they aren't actually, literally, the team we thought we would have. Losing the 2 bats and the arm we thought we would have is a massive deal. Think of it like losing half of your OL or more and maybe a few skills guys in football. This isn't that "#1 team". And that's not to mention Sdao. People, this is a different team. Get used to that now. Sure, if Earley or Kelly deserve to be criticized tonight for a poor coaching decision, fine! Hopefully they learn from it and go on. This team can win the next 2.

We were ranked #1 in the country. The best baseball team in America.

And we are quite obviously on a path to completely whiff on making the post season at all...

And you want to see a full body of work to judge this team?

If anyone needs their heads adjusted, it's you. Especially if you witnessed what happened tonight.

We could have won this game, but our HC did his best to prevent that from happening with his completely ******ed management of our pitching staff.

Maybe, but the guy pushed every wrong button tonight.

---

And then a few more for good measure. Games like this will haunt you.

---

Maybe he won't ever make the exact same mistakes again…

---

The problem is he has zero feel for the game.

He'll win the series against Texas and get a 7 year guaranteed contract for $75,000,000.

---

No, A&M has made an effort to lose to t.u. in everything this past year. I think our new AD should be fired, what a waste he's been.

5-0 and #1 in the country to 10-7 and probably out of the Top 25 in just 3 short weeks.

Could see it if we had a lead but the game could have headed to multiple extra innings and you wasted 2 of your bullpen pitchers for what?

---

Earley is grasping for credibility. Playing "pitcher chess" was a path to looking like a bona fide manager, until Rudis gave up two moon shots to lose the game. He is learning the hard way.

---

Should your head coach be learning his craft on the job at what was supposed to be considered one of the premier programs in the country? Just curious.

Your excuse making is next level. I don't agree with it. But, you are definitely a master at it.

It's the wind, it's the we were close, it's the unfortunate mistakes, it's the "but the injuries", it's the if we didnt pull him/them, it's all the excuses of why things just are not happening the way they should that illustrates there's a big problem and it isn't getting better. Sorry yall but this hasn't been a good season and does not look to be improving either so let's be real about things here and admit it should not be like this

At the end of the season our media will just say it was the unluckiest season because of injuries and exit velos.
