Lobo97 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Texas is in talks to hire David Cutcliffe to the staff, in an off the field role. After already bringing in Patterson, this would be a huge hire for the program. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah normally I wouldn’t worry about posting a 2024 commitment but since he is a local East Texas kid I thought I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good opening day win for the Horns. Exactly what I expected from this team that returned so many from last season. Hansen looked really good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevens isn't going to over power anybody or light up the radar gun, but man he's tough to hit. Duplantier looked good after missing all last year. Rice looks bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The umpire helped them with a weird strike zone today, it seemed to widen at the top and bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldest daughter played in her first high school tournament. Watched a little between games. Good to hear on Duplantier. Been waiting to watch him pitch again. It was nice to see Faltine have a better day at the plate. Campbell struggling out of the gate wasn’t something I thought would happen. Definitely going to sit down to watch watch Witt today. I wanna see if he’s going to try a more calm lower energy starting pitcher or his fiery, late inning reliever type of play from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was connected to Houston area baseball and had a good history with developing a pitching staff. Interesting enough, he was a former UT player and in retirement has relocated to Austin and is all in on Longhorn baseball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Melendez uncork two monster home runs. The 1st a 460 ft shot OVER the wall in center. Second home run was a mere 447 ft bomb just to the right of the scoreboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Absolutely great weekend of baseball. Texas is going to destroy mediocre pitching, so I’m interested to see them vs Alabama and in the Shriners classic coming up against some better pitchers. The Texas pitching looks outstanding, starters and bullpen. If the starters can go 6 innings consistently, Texas can throw a different bullpen guy for an inning to finish games all weekend long. Pierce has so many options out of the pen and this year has a couple nice lefty options too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt the best bullpen in college baseball. Hoping they can stay healthy. Offense looks much improved, from good last year to even better this year. The swagger is something I haven't see from a Texas team in a long time. Rice really struggled on the mound, but good plate discipline by the Horns. This team is complete in every aspect. I really don't know what their weak point is. We might see some of that when they face better competition, but outscoring even the bad teams 36-3 (12-1 average) over a weekend series is what great teams do. I mean they didn't even break a sweat. There were multiple top 10 ranked teams who struggled against very mediocre teams this weekend. Gotta love the parody in baseball! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma State is now ranked #4 after taking 2/3 from Vanderbilt. In a few weeks they play in one of those classics against Tennessee, LSU, and UCLA. Also have a home weekend series against Alabama and a road weekend series at South Carolina. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the academic standards and the complete lack of support from the university, whoever has the job is set up to fail. Graham made it work, but not many others out there could... I do think Berkman could have handled the job, but again, the university does not lend much support. Cruz will be good, but Berkman was absolutely the right choice.
