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.

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 

What Motown said. What’re you gonna learn about these dudes playing against incarnate word? Cool!!! They can tee off on the worst pitching in college baseball! Nah see what they got now. Pierce has done this every year btw except the other years he had to tinker damn near every game till conference play. Now we get a house money game to see what some fresh faces got

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

Well we found out Ace has a low 90s bp fastball with no breaking ball against UCLA. Something we could have easily found out with less consequence against Incarnate Word

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,902]

… doesn’t mean as much.

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

No shit. Ridiculous. It’s fucking baseball. We are the best team in America and we are probably still going to lose 15 games

I mean they scored 15 runs yesterday and we’re not throwing Witt. If we see each other in the postseason, they won’t see any of these dudes except maybe Gordon

This team may very well start 23-0, 21-2 at worst.

What consequence? We could win or lose this game by double digits, and it will have zero consequences.

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

 

 

Fucking annoying we get y’all in years where we suck. If we got y’all from 2000-2009 we would’ve murdered you. Dammit 

[LTtxfan 49,980]

Strike out!!!

Stay ahead in counts damn it...

[zlavydra 2,142]

Blair getting the bender over

[Fletch 5,817]

Oh and @Sbbruin it’s only a 3 run game in the 6th and we finally put in one of our studs. Pissed we didn’t get to see Witt do Witt things today 

[troph 25,189]

I don’t mind a loss, but the guys seem out of it thats the part I don’t like. Battle and lose ok, but as soon as you think your farts smell good it’s bad news.

I don’t like that short kid

[Fletch 5,817]

Atta boy Blair!!! Crowds getting into it. Time for Texas baseball to do what Texas baseball does 

[Dahobbs 18,302]

We got this.

Winning all the time isn't good for the kids, you know.

[Mdhorn 6,166]

That Longhorn catchers mask is bad ass.

I can't stop laughing.  I'm short, but not that short.  The umpire is taller in his crouch.

[Hammerin Hank 1,255]

We need to get the bats going. It’s time for a rally shot

I mean I want to win and there’s plenty of game left, but if this that success hangover game that shows we’re mortal and gets our guys to focus up even more, then fine with me 

[ztejas 44,223]

Rally time. 

[Pig Bellmont 8,884]

I don’t understand those low balls outside being called strikes

@ztejas calling him a halfling is my favorite. 

[Beau Vine 55,859]

Pouring myself a Hendricks. Let the rally commence!

From 1984 to now, there’s been a lot of suckage. Maybe slightly more annoying than the timing of playing UCLA has been the overwhelming amount of suckage. Thankfully the baseball program hasn’t had the same lengthy dips. Gustafson to Garrido to Pierce is the kind of coaching transitions I could get behind in every sport. 

[totallynotabuttpirate 5,482]

Finally working the count against this guy.

Launch one, Ivan 

[Valmy77 13,610]

Ok we have EK on base. Here we go!

[hobbes2702 13,433]

Get us back in this here Ivan

[Rockethorn1978 6,205]

Can’t win them all. Plus they already played the two best teams from this weekend. 

[WBT 20,964]

Time to go to work on this bullpen

Nice AB Ivan. Let’s fucking go boys

[Hammerin Hank 1,255]

Great AB by Ivan there

We get a lot of bitchmade posts. You should see the basketball game threads 

[jimmyjazz 47,113]

Make this guy work.  He's struggling to keep it down.

[tx 3 putt 78,665]

Damn sit down 

[Fletch 5,817]

Fucking terrible call
