    O'Dowd benched O'Dowd

    That FB Flores took yard was the same pitch as the 1-0 fastball he took. Thank goodness the catcher gave him another shot at it. Worked out in our favor on that one.

    There it is

    The old "take until he throws you a strike" meant he watched belt high cheese and got stuck having to chase what the pitcher threw him. I get the mindset on taking, but you've gotta be aggressive early IMO.

    I get working the count and all that, but if I'm Flores, I'm sitting dead red and swinging out of my shoes on the first pitch.

    Unfortunately, SJ coach got smart. This guy's stuff doesn't look like it has much bite either though, so I'm still feeling good about our bats.

    Safe, but can't overturn it based on that.

    Our saving grace in this game is the SJ pitcher throwing straight darts and we're hitting him hard, just right at people. He has no movement at all on his fastball and we're going to score some runs unless SJ's coach gets smart and pulls him first. We just need to hold SJ to about 5 or 6 and I think we'll be okay.

    Harrison comes running in from the bullpen, talking shit to himself like he's got Tourette's, gets teed off on his first pitch, then throws one over the catcher's head. Maybe he needs to chill the F out a little bit.

    O'Dowd is coming off it, trying to play hero ball. Gasparino's swing looked nice and compact there. Inside out, drove it opposite field. He keeps that up, he's gonna be dangerous.

    "He may have been shielded by the umpire and Grubbs...and also he's just not very good."

    We're making good contact, just hitting it right at 'em. Sticking with the above. This will be a fun game to watch.

    Not a lot of run on this nerd's fastball. Pretty flat/straight. We should tee off on him.

    Pull him and fire Pierce.

    That just means he'll come out throwing darts against us and our bats will be cold. 😀

    His swing is a little long, which you can get away with against off speed stuff but not against the heater (can actually help, sort of, against off speed since your bat lollygags through the zone). They'll continue to pound the fastball until he shortens up. If I were an opposing pitcher, I probably wouldn't throw a breaking ball or change up until he proved me wrong.

    I know he "retired" suddenly a few weeks ago for "personal reasons", but do we know what the actual reasons are?

    Weird what happens when we go opposite-field instead of trying to pull everything.

    CP pitcher is a stud. Shook off that craziness and continued to deal. Seems like he should be playing for a better program...

    Not the whole thing, but maybe part of it.

    Saw the graphic about Chase Burns transferring from Tennessee to Wake Forest. Guess he wasn't happy being moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen.

    I don't think I'll truly understand how we have such issues stacking a roster. We're only one of the top baseball programs in college baseball history. Why are we always so damn thin while other programs just reload every year?

    Pitching and defense, Texas' trademark, and we have neither.
