    TCU loses their opener to Cincinnati and OU trails OSU early in game 1. Someone has to win this conference, I guess.

    Get Gasparino out of a prime RBI spot in the order.

    Donewald receiving the call from Beard earlier to cancel the U-Haul reservation

    So Arkansas really let Musselman walk so they could hire Jerome Tang, huh?

    Flipping kickers from Colorado State (gonna assume this is PWO)

    I like Grubbs on Sunday/game 3's just from a mentality standpoint and type of pitcher he is. You see a lot of wild games on Sunday and having someone we can count on to throw quality strikes and eat innings is big. If Whitehead throws well tonight, you can flip him and LBJ next week, which would leave Whitehead on a normal full week's rest and give LBJ 2 extra days between starts and the opportunity to throw multiple bullpens/side sessions. Not ideal to have your Friday starter be a finesse lefty who doesn't break 87 on the radar gun but I've accepted it's kind of where we are.

    For a team that is hitting .304 and slugging over .550, it does sure feel pretty inconsistent. This is the 3rd straight series opener we've faced a starter with an ERA over 6.00 and we have scored a combined 8 earned runs off those starters in 16.2 innings (4.3 ERA) We don't walk a lot (169th nationally) or get hit by a lot of pitches (214th nationally), so we are very dependent on putting the ball in gaps or over the wall. JT and Porter Brown are the only guys with very good walk rates (> 15%). Everyone else is either average to below average to very bad (Gasparino at 5%). As I mentioned last night, it feels like we are either exploding early and putting up a football number or slogging our way through 9 innings against guys we should be pounding. Feels like very few games fall in the middle.

    Beau Ridgeway. The list goes on and on. Could do the same thing on the hitters side probably too. For every Jalin Flores this year there is a Porter Brown this year.

    There are always going to be success and failure stories pretty much every year with a 40 man roster. For every LBJ there is also a Max Grubbs or Whitehead. LBJ ain’t the first pitcher to regress and won’t be the last. Ask Aaron Nixon. Probably not one specific reason for it. Sad to see however it came about. His final start last year against Stanford where he threw 100 pitches and walked 4 in 4.1 innings was some foreshadowing. They were the first team I remember just completely ignoring his slider/splitter and sitting on the heater.

    He had quality starts against Washington and Baylor, both games where the lead was coughed up in the late innings. But yes, I get your point. There isn’t anyone to insert into the rotation in this place. Maybe you can push him back a day or two but you have to ride with him.

    Lucas Gordon was the Big 12 pitcher of the year last year and we went 7-2 in his conference starts. He was a Friday night guy.
  13. Hookem2147
    Feels like it’s either completely explode or struggle against guy with a 6 ERA with very little middle ground.
  14. Hookem2147
    Every time we give up more than like 5 runs we score less than 5. Have we played in a high scoring back and forth 10-8 type game since that finale against Tech?
  15. Hookem2147
    I would not have taken out the lefty. Lets see what happens
  16. Hookem2147
    Has looked good all season tbh
  17. Hookem2147
    Put this lefty in the hall of fame right next to the Baylor and Washington lefty who shoved it up our ass
  18. Hookem2147
    We have to win this damn game
  19. Hookem2147
    I’m not an expert but it’s hard to win when the leadoff runner reaches in literally every inning
  20. Hookem2147
    I guess this is the lefty we see every series who shuts us down
  21. Hookem2147
    Might as well win this game, I guess
  22. Hookem2147
    Galvan has earned a beer after this one.
  23. Hookem2147
    Fucking stupid. Have one of our worst arms bouncing 56 foot breaking balls to their 3 hole hitter with two of our better arms warm in the bullpen.
  24. Hookem2147
    We have to get Hurley out there. This game is still in reach we can’t be throwing our give up pitchers.
  25. Hookem2147
    I think they wanted JT to let Powell know what he was seeing as a lefty. Obviously didn’t work.
