Pierce may just be saying fuck it at this point. We already got what we wanted out of this trip. 

I mean it’s only 3-1 with some pop on the bench and like every arm available in the pen. Plus it’s not the 7th yet. We always seem to put up a crooked number in the 7th

Dude, don't kill the Messinger.

Ehhh

[OU Sucks 8820]

Too bad that wasn't the little kid

[LTtxfan 49187]

Messinger should play football...

[horngrad03 1148]

For fuck's sake Pierce we play Incarnate Word in a couple of weeks.  Maybe play the bench then???

I'm not saying this isn't winnable - just that DP doesn't seem interested in selling out to try and win it. 

[zlavydra 2121]

It's a baseball truism that every time you're flattened on the base paths, you lead off the next inning.

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

We’re down two runs and he’s staring at it.

We got a nasty stretch coming up and just beat 2 top 10 teams. And this game isn’t over. Relax. 

[Sbbruin 21853]

Had to run out.  How we doin’ here?

We have 4 good pitchers.  The rest can't throw strikes.  Hmmm

Clearly our 0.73 ERA coming into today just isn't going to cut it.

Pierce doesn’t understand how much shit @Sbbruin will be talking for years if Ut drops this game

Your team is full of cheaters, scrappy halflings and worst of all - Californians. You'd never cut it in the SEC.

[Mo Horn 8841]

It's still early in the season. I'm OK with Pierce sacrificing a game (not that this one is over yet) to see what his young pitchers can do against a good team. Watching them play against A&M Kingsville doesn't tell him much. Win or lose, this game has zero consequences.

I'm aware. Are you contending that these guys need rest already?

[GreenspointTexas 9602]

This makes more sense than the other response.

[Pato del Muerto 52498]

Nice attempt at a 56 footer

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Yeah lets show Pierce walking the sideline instead of the play.

[OU Sucks 8820]

Great camera work showing DP

Why would you throw them into the 6ft end of the pool when you can throw them into the kiddy end 2 weeks from now. Learn to walk before you run

This game isn’t the end of the world but see if these kids can command the ball and mow down Incarnate Ward first then once they do that then throw them out there against quality competition

[WBT 20572]

A batter attempting to reach on a missed strike 3 and we get a close up of the 3rd base coach walking back to the dugout.  A classic baseball image really.

Yeah, only down 2 runs through 5 innings and didn't start Witt...

Horns needed some adversity -- Let's Fuckin' Go !!! 🤘

What the hell was that if he had run hard he would have made first?? Seems like the effort is lacking today? Lack of focus for sure.

I’ve stopped getting too excited about beating Texas.  It’s becoming old hat.

To see what they’re made of. It’s not that hard to understand.

Not saying he should or shouldn’t but I don’t mind it with 5 games this upcoming week. Silas and Daly need a break. And this is a great game to give Schuessler and some of the other bullpen arms some reps. Legit top 20 team. Let em see some real competition. And have Silas and Daly rested up for a 2 game set with Texas state we definitely have to win. Can’t lose to mediocre teams like that. Then South Carolina. @TrashMaster G has got us there. With his magic, we got 2 out of 3 easy. But yeah I’m cool using this as a semi scrimmage

They just aren’t swinging at trash and we are. Getting massively outplayed right now.

[Pato del Muerto 52498]

Yeah ace has a BP fastball

[Valmy77 13226]

This is why I don't miss our Stanford rivalry that much. They always tended to do this to us early in the year.

Ah well. We can still win. Come on guys.

[hookemATL 11734]

Guys. It was a good run. I appreciate the effort but sometimes you have to evaluate talent for the next year. Rebuild and reload.

Christ...I didn't realize we were doing another two game mid week thingy. 

[cabowabo 4484]

Just don’t have it today. 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Not our day today

[TwiceHorn 31471]

Getting a bad feeling about this one.

[ClubWhatever 12144]

28 only throws one pitch.  Not going to work at this level. 

[jimmyjazz 45953]

Our fanbase is a bunch of Nancies.  Teams lose, news at 11.

Kinda looks like the deck is stacked against us.
