  1. Tennessee is approaching this guy like we should have been. Timing the off speed and fighting off the fastball. Weird how that works when the pitcher has a nasty changeup and sharp breaking ball.
  2. The Safety Orange really does it for me. Such a beautiful color. /s
  3. Dude looked like he left late AND was running in quicksand. No way that should have been that close at home on a fly ball hit that deep.
  4. They had 4 hits through 2 innings and were putting the barrel on it. That kind of success. The fact they didn't translate into runs is just baseball. Hard hit balls right at OFs are singles vs. doubles, etc.
  5. Crazy how Tenn is sitting offspeed and having success. Crazy, I tell you.
  6. Flamethrower vs. noodle arm pitching matchup.
  7. Still 0-fer in the CWS under Vitello.
  8. Ah, yeah...gotcha. 2 and out in 2021 (bounced by Texas), no CWS in 2022.
  9. Didn't they get knocked out in the Super Regional last year by Notre Dame? Agreed on the sentiment though.
  10. Broke around the plate...but...he's been calling it all night. Hitter can't watch that with 2 strikes.
  11. And that's why. RP leaves a spinner up and it's a brand new ballgame. They were sitting on Skenes' fastball, bit it still had good run on it and they weren't barreling it up all that much. Touch one at 100mph and it gets out of the park, but so do sliders that don't break.
  12. Skenes is pissed about being pulled. Touching 101mph in the 8th after 123 pitches...probably would have been alright leaving him in, but I get it.
  13. Teams get Crews every day. Skenes every 5 games. Personally, I'd take Skenes, but that's the rationale for the argument. PitchCom
  14. His fastball was sub-95mph last year. Average is 98mph and he hits 100mph all day. He was good last year, but in another world this year.
  15. Haven't watch them. Are they prima donnas too? Last year's Tennessee team was the worst I've seen in awhile and it was incredibly satisfying to watch Notre Dame send their asses home. Hope LSU puts them in the losers bracket today before they themselves get knocked out by somebody.
  16. Two 9th inning meltdowns on Day 1. Yeah, gotta give ORU and UF's hitters credit, but that was mostly piss poor pitching. Don't really care who wins WF vs. Stanford (Wake, I guess, if I had to pick one), but hope LSU beats the brains out of Tennessee. Not a huge LSU fan and don't want them getting #7 before Texas does, but Tennessee is everything I hate in college baseball (and people in general).
  17. This is the way “Women are made to be loved, not understood.” - Oscar Wilde
  18. I like how he specifically listed each day of the week, Forrest Gump style, and I picture Aggies counting each one out on their fingers then having the moment of realization when they got to 7.
  19. You could always try to have sex with her. That usually gets wives to go away, and if it fails...sex.
  20. You've already shown your stub (it certainly does explain some of your angsty and internet-tough behavior), but I'll politely decline. You don't get to bray like a jackass and then start making demands. What do the numbers look like? 26 or so more posts for me to reply to so you can click the "fuck you" button on each? It'll be quicker if you rallied the rest of the gang and worked in a little pack.
  21. My season tickets and one of my diplomas would disagree. I'll add a license plate bracket if that'll help my case. Does being a "true" Texas fan require having the same opinion as yours? Do you need company so you feel safe and secure within the herd, your opinion validated by the group? (It's okay that you're a leaf-eater. No judgment from me.) Or is it okay to venture out alone, form an independent thought based on personal experience and observation, then use that thought to formulate an opinion of one's very own and stand by it even thought it may not be popularly held by the herd animals? What are the rules? Enlighten me.
  22. Only thing missing is him sitting in a Lincoln.
  23. I know you must be confounded when someone turns aside your boorish behavior without engaging in it themselves. You're likely used to a bunch of empty talk and then having backup swoop in when you can't finish the job yourself. It makes you look silly, but thankfully it's just internet username Deej and not the real you - although I suspect the real you feels a little bit inadequate deep down. So...do you have anything Texas Longhorns Football related that you'd like to discuss, debate, comment on? That's what I thought the message board was for, no?
  24. Have you ever sat there at dinner, disinterested in the substandard food on your plate, so you just kind of push it around with your fork, not really caring if the waiter comes and takes it away before you can eat it, and wondering if maybe the next course will be edible? Your posts and all the others that attack the person instead of refuting the opinion/point with one of your own are kind of like if the Brussels sprouts could talk.
