40acredropout

Pretty ballsy of DP to go out there without a life jacket after how much standing water we saw earlier. Pretty sure elf’s can’t swim.

You must be a sad, miserable little man

Stop saying things that bode well for Texas please.

Lets go boys. Let those nuts hang and punch that ticket to Omaha.

It might be you. I watched it during the regionals and was more annoyed with Chris Burke.

Fuck your apology. Thoughtful, measured, non knee-jerk takes aren't allowed in game thread.

The MO is obviously to lean into a villain role. I guess they can all be douchebags together and rally around it to give themselves an edge. But it just makes it that much sweeter when they fall. And I think this team is going to fall. Universally hated is right and that's a heavy load to carry even though they want to pretend they don't give a fuck. But fuck them, fuck their coach and fuck their proudly classless fans.

I will not be happy until we dogpile or I hear DP say that Mr. 40acredropout from surly is a baseball genius and was right. I’m a dipshit and will stop coaching 3B for whatever inexplicable reason that I do. Enough of that though- let’s fucking ride today.

I’m done bitching about DP roster management. I don’t have a strong basis for feeling this way but I have a lot of confidence in Tristan to step up and shove on this midatlantic trash. Let’s fucking go.

Not what I’m saying. But if we do lose and I’m drunk in 8 hours I probably will be then. I’m well aware of his track record and I don’t know the candidate who is an obvious slam dunk replacement. The two examples I listed above are just fucking AWFUL decisions that should not be made at this level.

I don’t know if I’ve seen as bad of roster management on this big of a stage. Pulling one of the best hitters in the country (who hit two bombs yesterday) for Daly as a defensive sub in the top half of the 9th with 1) only a one run lead, 2) our fucking bullpen and what was already a shootout game and 3) murphs spot due up in bottom half, is one of the dumbest things you will ever see. Same thing Friday. Refusing to lift Daly for EK the second a righty came in and allowing him to ground into a DP in the 6th, down by three runs with two runners on is fucking stupid. Then to double down and immediately insert EK the next inning for DC (the guy with 3 bombs previous two games) and THEN take out Daly for a combination of O’Dowd’s bat (who admittedly pushed a run in) who literally has 2 plate appearances in the last month, and then putting Whitehead in the OF after not playing for over a month. Absolutely fucking awful and DP should have to answer for it. Fuck the “oh we might make it to Omaha, DP is the guy” shit… this paired with his 3B coach bullshit is fucking awful.

Depend on how many AB’s DP wants to give Daly over Murph or DC. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Don’t worry, DP will lift him for limpdick Daly soon.

Hate to be the negative bitch but how the fuck do you lift your second best hitter for a defensive replacement at 2B when that spot is due up in bottom half of inning in a 1 run game w our bullpen. That is fucking insane and DP should have to answer to that along with his bumblefucking roster management that put O’Dowd and Whitehead in a game yesterday. Not okay. Maybe focus less on being the shittiest third base coach in the country and get a handle on in-game subs. And maybe don’t take out the guy w 3 bombs in the regional for limp dick Daly. Who saves your ass in the elimination game. Fuck..we are winning in spite of DP rn, not because of him

The stat was something like 7/8 position players and the SP are all grads on this ND team. Battle tested, almost took down Mississippi State in the super last season. I like the cut of their jib.

Agreed. I'm not mad at them. Just disappointed.

You had me for a second. There's the VT firepower. Great season for the Hokies by the way. Most wins in a season since 1985.

Wow- no kidding. How long can boomer keep them tamed...

<csb> I was wearing a Texas baseball hat on Rainey and a kid came up who worked for the team in some analytics capacity and was going to work for the Tigers org after school. It was earlier in year when Tristan was imploding and he said he thought Tristan was tipping his pitches <csb> Based off that conversation and what I've heard about the tech they have in the new facility, I'm pretty sure we have a lot of this but I agree it's surprising that it's not more obvious who those people are.

2021 | 2022 Ranking (Out of 293 D1 Teams): ERA: 1 | 17 WHIP: 4 | 14 BB/9: 24 | 39 We lost 51% of Innings Pitched in 2021 (I'm including Witt). That includes a 1st Round Friday night starter and your your two biggest inning eating pen arms in Quintanilla and Kukichek. And Witt who was going to be our Sunday guy despite probably being the most talented arm on the staff. Did you not expect regression? Is this really that bad when considering how big of a jump offense has taken as a whole across college baseball this season?

I think ECU 100% hit Murph on purpose. Go watch the tape. Go up 0-1: remove completely obvious intent. Catcher looks in for sign. Gets it, literally gives a head tilt that I read as "are you sure? Okay". Sign given to pitcher: slash across chest (I admittedly don't look in at every single sign given but I do fairly often and don't recall seeing it all day) then 2 fingers given. Not 1, which is... almost universally fastball. Fastball drills Murph in elbow. Catcher barely even tracks the baseball. Almost like he knew exactly where it was going... hmp. This team is absolute trash. We better drag our fucking nutsacks across their foreheads and get our asses to Omaha.

Pen management isn't on the pitching coach.
