Hey I thought we all agreed not to overreact to our team sucking this weekend after a week with no practice?

Are you new here?

Zubia’s skills at 1B are somewhere between clown show and train wreck.  He makes even the routine outs at first look tough.  Brutal

He played surprisingly well there last year. 

[VelvetFreeze 114]

How many games last season?

[Horny Bull 2,766]

17? Not sure.

[Horny Bull 2,766]

That's the first 0 we have thrown up since the 3rd inning

Maybe put Petrinski there? Isnt that where old C go to die?

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Freshman Dylan Campbell pinch-hitting for Stehly

[zlavydra 2,123]

Completely overmatched today.

[Valmy77 13,273]

Well...get 'em tomorrow right guys?

[zlavydra 2,123]

"Every HR we've seen today has been hit." No shit?

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Jared Southard on to pitch

[Levi 2,592]

Not patient at the plate, chasing off speed, slow reacting to heat...etc. Stuff that can be fixed with more AB’s. Couple of errors as well. They look pretty rusty today against a solid team with a damn good bullpen. Regroup and be ready for tomorrow. 

[CowtownHorn 5,126]

Love these TCU fans right in front of us cheering every Miss State run. Fuck faces.

Maybe we should be looking for pitchers in the Atlanta exurbs. That's 10 batters and 9 whiffs.

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Palmer Wenzel on to pitch

[CowtownHorn 5,126]

Sidearmer looked good. 

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Nice debut for Melendez

Move him up in the order.

[WBT 20,669]

Finally showing a little fight

[zlavydra 2,123]

Pat Combs "took one in the wrist, took one in the chest..." Fascinating.

[Horny Bull 2,766]

Horns drop the opener 8-3

[Js1 85,574]

18 strikeouts 😳

No practices in 8 days straight into a top 10 matchup will do that

1st game of the season. Nothing to freak out about. 

[Steamboat1874 4,085]

So once again our hitting is shitty. 

[bschoolprof 6,272]

We need to wait quite a bit to pass judgement on this team, but this was not a great start.  Our hitting (talent and approach at the plate) has been terrible under Pierce.  If he doesn't turn that around this year, he's gone.    

[Don Johnson 4,755]

WTF was there an hour between the first two games?  No need to get fans in and out when they have all day passes. 
 

Ark-TT may be 8:30 first pitch at this rate. In theory, tomorrow should be worse from a time perspective. 

[WBT 20,669]

Ole Miss up 4-3 on TCU after 4

Both teams have to get on the field to warm-up bodies, arms, etc.  Then both teams get to take full IF/OF warm-up.

Also, TCU just got hosed on a HBP that turned into a non-HBP and K instead (thanks to replay). But the fascinating part is that thanks to the CoVid rule about coach/umpire conversations and coaches not being able to cross the foul lines, Schlossnagle was ready to light some umpire up, but they overturned the call and all of them proceeded to move to the middle of the IF and not even go over and acknowledge him. Honestly it’s kind of a chickenshit rule that allows umpires to blow a call and then run and hide.

In addition to the above explanation takes a good bit to prepare the field again 

[Horny Bull 2,766]

First pitch for the night game is at 8:20, I imagine our game tomorrow will start around the same time

He'd already be gone save for one AA season from Clemens and Covid.

[WBT 20,669]

Tech walks in a run.  1-0 Arkansas going to the bottom of the 5th.

[Bash Riprock 1,695]

Tech leads off with a double.

[Surly Bevo 25,152]

Going tomorrow, was gonna see Texas-Ole Miss but now get Texas-Piggy.  Hopefully we picked up some hats for bats this afternoon...keep bats warm, cuz they was cold as fuck today.

[Bash Riprock 1,695]

Tech bases loaded no outs

[Bash Riprock 1,695]

Raiders up 2-1 w/ no outs. Pitching change.

Edited February 21, 2021 by Bash Riprock

[WBT 20,669]

5-1 and still no outs.  Big inning for Tech.

[Bash Riprock 1,695]

3-1

 

5-1

Edited February 21, 2021 by Bash Riprock

[Bash Riprock 1,695]

5-1 headed to the sixth.

[WBT 20,669]

HBP, BB, BB.  Just what you want to start the inning after you take a big lead.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,028]

5-5 in bot 6 now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,028]

Holy shit, the extremely rare 2-run WP. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,028]

8-6 Arky, top 7. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,028]

Boom, 3-run yack by Tech. 

[Don Johnson 4,755]

This is a terrible baseball game.
