This couldn’t have been easy for Schott to do. Win, lose, or draw, Schott has always been an excellent representation of what makes this university a special place. https://t.co/KEeTTYq1w1

this has to be a troll

It sucks, but there are lots of giys every year that have that feeling. Very few teams win it all. Whether is HS, college, or the pros, those that put in the work and come up short know the feeling. Part of what drives you for the remainder of your life.

Schott is a good dude but I get the feeling they didn't take care of business in the off-season. Seemed they were on social media a little more than they should have be in the offseason. Why didn't him and Grahovic get surgery as soon as the season was over last year so they would be ready for this season. Why did the team come out so flat. Never seen a team where the entire team was in a slump. I am sure things will come out eventually. Earley is a player's coach. He let it happen. These guys are kids and need an adult to provide discipline.

Because he's fostered a culture of student athletes who truly love playing for this university and representing this university.

They don't care about playing for this university or they wouldn't have threatened to transfer if they didn't get what they wanted. And it appears some are still willing to make that threat based on a certain player's parent's tweet. And that's ok. The players have to do what they feel is best for their futures. In the same vain, the school must do what's in the best interest of the program's future. Those two things don't always coincide.

The video is nice.

I feel for the team.

This is one of the oddest things I have ever seen in baseball at A&M. I wonder what is actually happening.

Why? He let these players down, plain and simple

Why feel bad for the team? They got what they wanted and they didn't show up this season. A&M stepped up bigtime in NIL to keep this team together only for them to come out and give us a performance like this.

Yeah, give me a coach and players that can win a championship. The feel good stuff got old years ago

I can appreciate that he loves and respects the university. We love and respect him.

But yeah there's something going on under the surface and we'd all love to know what it is. I've got over 40 years of Aggie sports disappointment under my belt but I have seldom if ever seen a can of quit opened up by any Aggie team like we saw this weekend. There's clearly something going on behind the scenes

Plus……I get the contrition. I'm sure the guys feel horrible. But rather than just this helpless dejection, I'd rather see a little Tim Tebow. Some anger. "This sh** isn't gonna happen again, I promise you". Give us some hope.

Just a guess. But they probably quit because they know Earley is gone?

I feel bad for the team because they're human beings who clearly want to do well and win games.

It can't be easy to be in their shoes right now. For whatever reason, they're not performing up to potential. And it's happening in front of an audiience and media. That has to smart. (And no, I don't believe they're just coasting on NIL money and not giving a sh*t. I don't believe they're suddenly awful at baseball. Maybe it's the coach or the weight of expectation. Something is going on.)

The season isn't over. Maybe we'll get a miracle. The odds aren't good, but hope springs eternal.

Surgery:
Schott did have surgery last summer on his knee to repair a meniscus. His new injury, an MCL tear, happened just before the start of this season.

Please, if you are going to question the players dedication and use their injuries against them, at least know what their injuries are and when they happened.

The old man turns 25 today. Happy Birthday Schott. Hope this weekend brings you what you (and everyone else) are wishing for - a sweep.

Nice sentiments, but you left off the most important point- baseball coaching skills. He lacks it.
