Texas v. New Orleans Weekend Series Thread

[zlavydra 2123]

Hamilton crushes s 60-foot pop up and the inning is over. Zero runs against UNO Sunday guy 

[zlavydra 2123]

Monsieur Veillon, join our team, s'il vous plait.

[Armypilot 92]

Sometimes you can almost feel them laying an egg. This one has that feel

Hopefully they get it together 

[Armypilot 92]

Outfielders collide. On a grounder.  Jeez

[Horny Bull 2766]

Welp

Nothing is pointing to that conclusion. Nothing. 

[zlavydra 2123]

Didn't watch last Sunday, but I'm assuming I'm watching the same game now

[perfectchaos007 6677]

New Orleans outhit UT in game 1 and game 2. We're fortunate to have won those first 2

Except the score. The pitching. The hitting.

Henley done. 4-0 UNO

Referring to us "getting it together." Shouldn't have to be explained. 👀

Yea nothing is giving any indication of that happening 

[zlavydra 2123]

Another easy inning. Pop up, whiff and a nice play by the SS.

Is this our worst pitching staff of the last 20 years?

[TexArcher 38075]

Shane with a solo bomb.

Then a bunt single by McCann.  Still only one out.

[Armypilot 92]

Cy Young pitching against us. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Reynolds bomb, Horns still trail 4-1

[TwiceHorn 31539]

 

Can still suck it in, though, but time running short.

[Armypilot 92]

McKenzie can’t hit. We need to PH

[TexArcher 38075]

Jake manages to walk.  Best case scenario.

No joke.

Bringing on the RH to face Hamilton

[zlavydra 2123]

Hamilton should trademark that weakass pop up 

[TexArcher 38075]

Hamilton needs to get on those Willie Mays Hayes penalty push-ups when he hits one in the air.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Horns strand a pair, still down 4-1 after 7

[TwiceHorn 31539]

Good Lord.  That egg just dropped.

[Goodman 3273]

Have a day Shaw, have a fucking day.

[TwiceHorn 31539]

Survived that unscathed.

4-1 'teers, B8.

[TexArcher 38075]

Ahhhhahaha, throw that catcher out.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Jesus Christ Hibbeler

[TwiceHorn 31539]

Baylor just swept TCU!?!?!

[TwiceHorn 31539]

9th inning rally?

[Horny Bull 2766]

Last chance for Texas, still down 4-1

[TwiceHorn 31539]

Shaw with leadoff double.  Spot of redemption there.

[TwiceHorn 31539]

Reynolds 1-3.  1 Out.

2008 was worse if you go by ERA.  But yeah it's the worst in the last decade.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Texas drops the finale 4-1

Couldn't remember the staff back then.  Ruffin, Kasparek and Wood.  https://stats.texassports.com/sports/m-basebl/2007-2008/08teamcume.html

ERA 4.48.  We are currently sporting a 4.25.

New Orleans either played out of their minds this weekend or they are much better than their RPI indicates. That's a good ball club that showed up this weekend. Much better than most of the midweek teams we've played.

We’ll be better off not hosting a regional anyway.

Yea, maybe we can get shipped to the West coast again. Gtfo here. 👀

[NeverMarryAStripper 21928]

Yes, let's host as the 16th seed and get matched up with Florida in the Supers.  If we are going to have any shot at all at getting to Omaha, it's going to be as a 2nd seed in a regional with a favorable match up in the supers.

[Austin Orange 98]

Damn. Lost 12 points in RPI this weekend. Currently at 35.

Look at who beat em and who swept em. Theyre pretty shitty

They might be shitty but they weren't shitty this weekend. 

Some teams just play out of their minds for a few games. We didn't  play great this weekend but I don't think these close games were all on us. UNO came to play this weekend. 

The team we played this weekend is nowhere near the caliber of teams we've played midweek.

We saw their best pitchers, which isn't the case for Tuesday games.

True, but UNO actually has some bats. The middle of the order can hit. A couple of those guys would be in our starting lineup IMO. 

The UNO middle of the order is night and day from the teams we saw midweek.

[zlavydra 2123]

 No doubt. There are some quality players on that team. 

[Guest Lobo]

Their starter has only gone longer one time this season than he did today.  Against fucking Southeastern Louisiana State College.  Guy has been on a sub-4 inning pitch count limit 9 times this season because of stamina issues.  He's been lit up by the likes of Central Arkansas and McNeese State this season.  He made our lineup look very typical of the last 7 seasons of Longhorn baseball.  Embarrassing.  We're gonna be on the bubble from here on in and they're gonna point to Sunday ass-whippings at the hands of sub-.500 Southland Conf. team.  We're gonna need to sweep our remaining mid-week games and have a run in the conf. tourney.  This loss looks ugly in the standings (nobody looks at this shit and thinks, "hey, their Sunday starter must be an ace to cool the UT bats at home that way.."
