2026 Shriners Children’s College Showdown

[Edmondcowboy]

Oh look a lead off walk. Barring a miracle this is a disaster of a weekend. We should stop playing in this until we can put together a team that’s competitive.

 

[Poke Skywalker]

Do we have a hitting coach? If so, who is it? This has been the established theme of Josh Holliday baseball teams, they stand and stare at perfect pictures right down the middle of the plate and then flail wildly at bad pitches out of the zone. It’s a consistent habit and it’s been going on for years. The irony as we went from possibly the best hitting philosophy ever with Gary Ward to this crap show that we have now. Bases loaded with one out and you don’t score a single run is inexcusable. All you have to do is put the ball and play to get at least one run in..

Josh is the hitting coach. And he thinks he’s good at it.

This new Pesca doesn’t look sharp. 3 walks and all 3 have scored.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

You guys should listen to me and quit acting so shocked

 

[David Lee Roth]

Agreed. Why is anyone suprised

 

[Stilly2OMAOKC]

If strikeouts = runs, we would be in Omaha every year

 

[SanditeCowboy]

Josh

Unfortunately not surprising.

 

[Northwoods Cowboy]

Well, what will the excuses be?

 

[Poke Skywalker]

Just in the 3rd inning and already 6Ks! Does Josh ever get embarrassed by this? It looks like we’ve walked out there without practicing or being in the cage the last month and a half.

 

[MustangPokeFan]

Has there ever been a batter you could count on more than Colin Bruggeman to get the third out with runners on in scoring position and two outs?

Go watch them practice and you’ll understand why Josh’s teams are terrible offensively

Wow, that explains everything!

No. It’s been going on for a decade.

Dustin Williams right up there with him.

 

[Edmondcowboy]

4 innings 1 hit 8ks. I’m good with letting him go now. No need to wait 60 more games.

 

[JRod]

So do we like, practice?
Just terrible execution in all facets.

Zero chance of that happening but he should be let go if we don’t win a regional this year but doubt he will. Baseball isn’t that important to Weiberg and he may be hiring a basketball coach in about a year if lutz doesn’t get a tournament bid

Watch our hitting practice and you’ll find better instruction at large high schools or junior colleges

Is it just home run derby all the time?
