Sippy just went down in extras to Ole Miss so there's that at least. Can't believe they were trying to get to 17-0 for the first time since '82 and the stadium looked to be barely half full. I imagine POS will be complaining about attendance next week lol.

No way that stadium was half full. That was a pathetic showing by their "fans."

It's SEC baseball and on the road vs the #9 team. All around team loss. We had pitchers not execute some pitches. JK call a pretty terrible game, some hitters not execute some at bats when needed, Earley make a few decisions i thought were wrong (but his philosophy is different than mine), etc.

But how some of you put every single loss on Earley and never any fault on the guys holding the bat or throwing the pitches exposes lack of understanding baseball. Guarantee you every hitter that failed at the plate tonight isn't thinking they failed bc Earley…yet that's how some of you think.

It's a bad loss, no doubt. Just like any loss, you can second guess some coaching decisions, but we lost because our Friday starter and some of our top hitters had poor games. It's very frustrating because OU's Friday night guy was excrement, but they hung in there and overcame that performance.

Both skip and earley should have been ejected and made to hold hands until the end of the game

A lot of really suspect decisions from Earley tonight. Leaving Vargas in after he couldn't find the zone and pulling Vincent when the kid was cruising. And that's not to mention our awful hitting approach. Hard to believe he's an SEC head coach.

He doesn't have a feel for the game yet. It takes most coaches a couple of years to get there. Give him time….
Time and feel is developed at Sam Houston or Incarnate Word, not in the SEC. This job is, and always was, too big for someone with his limited experience IMO. It was a rash, and cowardly decision by our AD staff.

I think he can, and probably will, be a good coach. But he's not today.

Why'd we let Bodin go?

I don't even remember him.


Me neither. I assume he pitched in limited action. But looked good tonight. Wouldn't mind having him around if that's how he pitches consistently going forward especially if we loss Stewart again for the year.

I absolutely despise POS and wish him nothing but a lifetime of misery, migraines and explosive diarrhea. However, one thing I can begrudgingly say I respected about the man was that he didn't allow his batters to act like a bunch of trash-ass D bags at the plate. Watching Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and now apparently Oklahoma peacock around like a bunch of Fernando Tatis/Ronald Acuna wannabes makes me really miss the days of Bob Gibson and Nolan Ryan

I agree with this, but also how do you explain that we didn't have games like this under POS and that teams like State immediately perform better under experienced coaching. Not trying to be snarky, but really thinking through the psychological part of this game, which we know is 90% mental, half of the time.

Also, your handle is not helping you're anonymity, Myles.

Transferred out not long after Kelly was hired. Easy to understand. Left for a school that had a proven track record of developing pitchers. That dude is filthy.

Earley is damned if he does, damn if he doesn't. All kinds of complaints about him never (rarely) showing any fire last season, we get it in spades today and this thread is complaints about his potty mouth. Oh wells.

You realize POS had a game just like this tonight? To a team that isn't as good as OU. At home.

Had that game won until TN Tceh Vargas gave up two bombs in a row.
He had pitched 9 innings this season, no runs. No idea if that's an amount that proves he was worthy to be in there.

LOL never fails

Legend without an Ag tag. Not sure your posts carry as much weight as you like to think they do. I'll take your useless comments under advisement though. Carry on.

I don't even know what to make of this comment

Give it a day. Maybe it will come to you. Maybe not. Just don't hurt yourself trying to work it out. It's just prattle.


I have no Agtag bc I played for our university and want to keep my posts entirely anonymous. Getting an Agtag requires me sharing identify with TA staff which I do not want to do to remain anonymous. I've forgotten more baseball than your Agtag has ever helped you obtain. But I'm glad your tag label makes you feel better lol.


So you know the history of TexAgs, I see. Ain't nothing anonymous on this site if the AD leans on mgmt.

Yes & no. A ton of our ABs down the stretch were atrocious. Staring at meatballs down the middle and making golf swings at garbage. Our strategy at the plate with runners on late was also questionable. In the 6th we had 2 on no outs and Sorrell (who was 0fer) proceeds to strike out and Hacopian hits an F7 (I think) in a short AB. Jordans single bailed them out but damn 2 on no outs and those are our next 2 ABs? That can't happen. OU had one of their best hitters bunt in the 8th in the same situation and that guy was 2-4 with a double.

Agree. The confidence level in Coach Earley is low and hard to imagine he will be able to win enough in the very tough SEC this season.


Is it time for another team vote to see who the coach should be?

" Give him time". Sorry, but why? Ridiculous that it's required, he can do that somewhere else.

I was being facetious. As in why is A&M the teaching school for a pretty much rookie coach.

Just hurling at you what others of your ilk have hurled at me. And you have absolutely no knowledge of how much or how little baseball or any other sports I have played. You make blind assumptions to make yourself feel better about your childish posts. Stick to facts and you won't have to brag about having to hide your identity of this amazing athlete you once were.

It was disappointing how we blew a 7-4 lead in the 6th inning to lose 8-7 and start SEC play 0-1. Hopefully, we bounce back with a win in game 2.

Right call. If it was my son, his mom would bring him home for a week to do chores on the farm before returning to his classes and the team. If it pissed off the coach, she would give him a piece of her mind, too!

for me Earley looks silly when he tries to act pissed… it's like he read a book and thinks, oh ok i'm supposed to be pissed here let me try. Skip Johnson looked pissed.. Earley looked like he was trying too hard in his little league outfit.

on the bat… pick the bat up, take the bat to your own dugout, and tell them don't send the girl

How about be an adult and take the bat to the umpire as you go pull your pitcher that grooves two HRs in a row?

I took last night to sleep on it before posting. Woke up this morning feeling like yesterday was a continuation of last year with a few different pieces. Game management was identical.

Earley only throws his little tantrums after he's made a coaching blunder so he comes off as a total bozo

That 6th inning was just painful, everyone watching can see Vargas isn't effective, but earley looks on & does nothing

I keep expecting him to turn the corner, but it just hasn't happened. Not sure why in game decisions are so difficult for him, but it's where we are

SABUILDERAG
How long do you want to ignore this user?
No. I don't pay attention to them unless we are playing them.

Regardless, they were/are extremely rare with great coaches but seem to be extremely frequent with Earley to this point. With two very talented groups.

This happens more often than not when you allow the players to pick their coach.
