They are going to be alright. Perhaps not the undisputed number 1 anymore, but they are still built for a strong showing in the post season. I really haven’t seen anyone yet that I think is the clear favorite at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 The pitching staff has struggled in road games. I still don’t think Pierce knows who he can trust yet. Texas is going to have to hang their hat on the offense until the pitching can settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times have changed, but man can they swing it, Stehly, Melendez, and Faltine are on fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXfan16 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Offense has been red hot. Hansen and Stevens struggling is very rare but let's get it out now in March. Although they lost the first two games, they weren't dominated by any means, so I'm not worried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Texas out hit and out score Tech over the 3 game stretch but lost the series. That’s how baseball goes. A good midweek game tomorrow and then OU in Arlington this weekend. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that was atrocious. I agree they are struggling right now. They have a very talented roster but aren’t putting it together at the moment. They will be fine. They do need to turn around quick though if they want to host a super. They could fall out of the top 10 if they lose the weekend series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that was atrocious. As I've stated previously, pitching has fallen apart since Witt went down. I would've expected the #2 and 3 guys to still hold their own, but they just haven't. I keep seeing all the comments such as, "they weren't dominated, I'm not worried" "that's how baseball goes" and pretty much anything else anyone wants to say to convince themselves not to worry. Here's the reality, since starting 11-0, Texas baseball is 8-8. .500 is not going to get it done in the end. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Had to follow the game on Twitter. Seemed like much of the same from Texas. I can’t understand why Jared Southard keeps getting chances. Dude gives up walks and run every time out. The bats need to stay hot until the pitchers figure it out. It might be time to see some different arms, rather than the same guys that keep repeating the same mistakes. Ive been one to somewhat dismiss the bullpen struggles as just part of baseballs up and down nature. Part of that is seeing these same pitchers look great in games to start the season and part of that is not having ever seen Texas pitching truly struggle, normally that’s the offense. I still don’t believe it’s time to panic but they need to figure it out and do it soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not to the point where I'm in panic mode, but I am getting more and more concerned as each game gets played. They've had a reality check the past couple of weeks. I still think they are a really good team, but they are losing the mental game right now and they better figure it out ASAP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then up 12-11 in the 10th and that wasn't enough. Scoring 10 runs in games and it not being enough would have me furious. What more can they realistically do?! Then at one point in the game last night, they had scored 8 runs but were still trailing by 4. The Texas bats are scary good (4 guys hitting over .350?!!), and that Ivan Melendez is one of the best hitters I've ever seen. I just checked and his OPS is 1.453 and he's hit 13 HR in only 27 games. That is INSANITY. But man, I thought OUR bullpen was bad (and it is). Texas seems to have an even worse BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you mentioned, putting up 10+ runs and losing is such an uphill battled to climb as an offense. Literally have dude's batting in the .400's and the bullpen can't seem to provide any help right now. I just hope this offensive hot streak doesn't go to waste, because right now it's starting to look like it's heading that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Murphy Stehly is batting .472 with 50 hits in 106 at bats. That’s ridiculous How long can Texas keep Tulo on staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be cool if Texas had 2 guys do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard much about what his intention is coaching college ball. I assume he has interest in being a HC but I haven't heard much about it. He does a good job of laying low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all intents and purposes, volunteer coaches get paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
