Assistant Regional Manager

I’ll never understand comments like this when a player isn’t even bad. Career .931 OPS while playing excellent defense. He had several other SEC teams telling him he had a spot if Texas didn’t want him back.

Then why is that graphic titled “my game predictions for the Texas Longhorns”. Nobody is picking games against the spread this time of year. Spreads aren’t even available for the majority of games.

We have added two guys who hit 16 home runs and another one who is 6’4 with a profile that screams an uptick in power is coming. Is your take that the lineup this year lacked power? They hit 105 home runs while playing 80% of their games a pitcher friendly park.

This guy basically replaced Monsour.

In a 34-man roster era, almost all depth is going to have to come from your HS class. The days of the bench being stacked with guys that would start at other SEC schools are over.

You getting antsy to spread Blake's news to the other boards you are on again?

The argument could be made that CF is the easiest of the 3 OF positions to play defensively at Disch Falk with the way the wind often blows and the configuration of the corner spots.

Who? I didn’t see anything like that.

Why does baseball bring out the hottest takes you’ll see on a message board with a bunch of random people always claiming to have inside info? You notice it every offseason.

You have 29 posts on this site, every one of them about baseball and every one of them negative in nature. Go enjoy your Friday night.

Is he insinuating that Royal wouldn’t have a spot if he doesn’t jump on board now? Because that’s some next level spin.

Guys like Pendergrass and Larson were not even supposed to play this year. They were plan C and D options after late draft departures, Josh Livingston not panning out and Jonah Williams getting hurt. Then add in Mendoza’s injury and ARod playing with one hand again for an entire season. The fact it was a top 4-5 offense in the SEC in most stats is pretty respectable considering the circumstances.

The guy who hit .325 with 22 bombs shouldn’t have been playing? Yeah, you were certainly the only person saying that.

We hit .300 as a team this year and ranked top 4 in the SEC in every meaningful offensive category. The other team is allowed to have a good day in baseball while you have a bad day. It happens.

Rollover to SS first pitch. The notion that the offense would turn around if we swung at first pitches is wishcasting.

This board would melt down if we were landing the type of players they were. OU recently landed a backup INF from A&M and middle reliever from UTA. They are playing in a different sandbox than the type of guys Texas is trying to get.

You give college pitchers too much credit. They aren’t good enough to pick and choose when to throw strikes lol. Volchko had an out of body experience last year after an entire season where he was walking and hitting multiple batters per game. You don’t change up your entire program philosophy just because of that.

“Shrinking in the biggest moments”. All 3 sports have won conference titles, went deep in postseason play and have delivered plenty of big wins. If losing a super regional last weekend would have been considered “shrinking in the biggest moments”, then you can’t say a win isn’t delivering in a big moment. As Mack Brown said, “the only big games to some fans are the ones you lose.”

He’s a bit past his playing days.

We swept them last year and beat their basketball team by like 30 a few months ago? I get that talking point sounds cool but it isn’t true.

Will Dave South be the MC for this announcement?

We’ll let the staff know you prefer to land great players. I’m sure they haven’t thought of that after watching Tinney and Robbins all year. Again, let it play out. It’s June 10th. The portal isn’t even at the halfway mark.

Is it a massive whiff if Texas ends up with the 2nd or 3rd best outfielder in the portal instead of the 1st? Let it play out. I remember when missing on Becker and Hacopian last year were “massive whiffs” and we ended up with some plan C option names Temo Becerra, who had a career year.

White has cycled through quite a few assistants during his time. Only a few left to be head coaches.

He is arguably the reason we won the UCSB game.
