Not happening today. Pensive and not engaged. Try and get the next two I guess. 

I missed Madden's implosion, but I'm curious if he was trying too hard, particularly as he faded, as in aiming pitches and the like.

Williams certainly trying too hard.

For most of these kids' sentient lives, TTU has been the better team, so some form of intimidation/overextension.

Greatest pitcher ever throws greatest pitch ever.

Occasionally .230 hitters do swing through 95 mph belt high heat. 

[dcar00 14318]

had chances today. some bad AB's in critical situations and some bad luck on balls that could have dropped.

 need to win the next 2.

[Machinator 32099]

Bullpen put up four scoreless innings.

6-3 TTU B9

Also our phenom #1 starter had one of the worst outings of his career so there was that.

[ClubWhatever 12154]

on the bright side we found out that junk ballers can get these tech hitters out.  Straight heat is not the ticket.  Sets up well for Tristan if he can command that slider   

[dcar00 14318]

dude lean into that...

What was it that he had to say about Tech....?  Obviously, TT didn't take it lightly.

for sure.  even with that we still had some chances.

[Machinator 32099]

Antico hit on the thigh to lead off and another pitching change.

[TexArcher 37989]

I'm still not sure that pitch hit Antico, lol.

He was all fuckin' caddywampus on the mound.  Kept falling off all cockeyed.  Not sure what was going on.

This game is not over brah.

[Cajun 11722]

Tech is squeezing.  They want this one too much right now.

[Cajun 11722]

THAT was a nasty pitch

Theirs, but that is so not the point of my post.

[TwiceHorn 31514]

Mos def not our day.

[TexArcher 37989]

Another fucking web gem from their fucking outfieders.

[Cajun 11722]

Tech's day.  Just amazing play in the OF today.

[Ewreck10 288]

They are catching every damn thing. Not our night.

[dcar00 14318]

just gotta take the next 2.  time to show what were made of.

[Cajun 11722]

Can't do anything but give them credit.  We've his some seeds that they've turned into nothing.

[Sheriff Bart 106]

We wanted it to hard!

In the early innings, he was putting up insane velo (fuck Lowell) numbers even for him.  I'm wondering if he tired and turned into aimastrike.  Missed a lot of it, but from a distance sounds like overpitching.

[Cajun 11722]

Did Ivan not play today or did I just miss every one of his ABs?

 

[Ewreck10 288]

Well, shit.

[Machinator 32099]

Texas Tech wins, 6-3.

[TwiceHorn 31514]

This will be a test.  A big test.

[texastroubadour 1216]

Did the stupid ass tech players think they won the cws?

I mean, when Madden gives it up like that and they wipe three runs off the board with three diving catches in the outfield, it ain't gonna be our day.

We need to get the next two.

[ztejas 43524]

Fuck em. Hope they're ready for a couple of ass-beatings.

[zlavydra 2123]

You'd think they'd never won a game before.

agreed. we were all waiting for these last 4 series.  time to for these guys to let their nuts hang.

[Cairn Horn88 8277]

Ladies lost 3-1 to OSU....really not our day....I hate losing to all these clowns in our own house.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

That game sucked. Tech outfield made some plays that could have easily gone our way and maybe changed the outcome.

Pretty sure though they (and Rapelor) compete for the most obnoxious fans.

Hopefully we wake up tomorrow and Sunday and beat sand aggy x2.

Between Madden being a bit off, and tech making some great plays on some hard hit balls by our guys, it just wasn’t our day. Good test for us. We haven’t had our backs against the wall like this at all this season. I’m expecting us to respond and take the next 2 cause that’s just the way this team is. Just a team of fighters

what I thought, too.  Plus him sitting around during the rain delay just fucking with it probably didn't help.

Good point !

Re:  122 pitch outing against OKSt last Sat.    Ty's pitch count was 80 entering the 6th where he threw 42 pitches.   Not good.   Should have been relieved instead of completing the 6th especially after the doubles.   We led 4-0 entering the 6th and OKSt rallied for 3 runs from Ty.   Have to protect your arms at this point in the season.    Pierce has to trust the bullpen.   Can't let your ace throw 42 pitches in 1 inning.

Damnit. We should steal Tadlock too!

Nope.  TCU's fans are worse.

One game and Madden was off all night and we hit the ball on the screws a few times, tech just made some great plays. And I kinda think they shot their wad. It felt like they were playing for their super bowl while we were playing tech on a Friday night. They used a fuckton of arms last night too. Looking forward to seeing how the team responds after losing the opening game of a weekend set

Weather forecast...  not great.

Me too, however, with the weather being what it is we really needed to win the first game. Not sure they’ll get two more in.
