[jimmyjazz 45898]

WTF?  Why are we struggling with this average fastball?

Maybe my eyes are deceiving, but this pitchers stuff doesn't look nearly as unhittable as we're making it look

I would imagine we will get some sparks from the bats over the next couple innings. Being far too selective right now

[Horn80 6118]

Obligatory 

[cabowabo 4484]

Did they even consider acoustics when they built that shithole?  The constant echo throughout the stadium is annoying as hell even on TV.  I can’t imagine how annoying it is in person.

Hoping pretty much this now that the lineup has seen his stuff.

[Horny Bull 2759]

2-0

[hobbes2702 13032]

What’s the call there? 
How’s that a balk?

These are mistakes you see in high school … or earlier.

[David Dennison 18854]

Is that a balk because Melendez left the bag?

 

[Horny Bull 2759]

2-0 OU after 3.

Apparently, Melendez wasn’t holding the runner … which is a balk if the P goes to him.

[Wishbone 4759]

OK. GET HITS!

[TwiceHorn 31449]

Welp, missed yesterday's shitshow because I didn't notice the noon start and went and rode my mountain bike and other shit.

Now I'm here.

It’s probably somewhat deadened with more fans. 
 

what’s worse is Craig said the roof has to be closed for a midday start with the sun out because complex shadows make it too tough on the fielders.  Are you kidding me? A multi billion dollar architecture fail. 

[brojangles2 786]

Awful approaches. Not even competitive so far.

Good poi:t. I’ve watched the Astros when they play there and don’t remember the echo issues. 

[Ewreck10 288]

Guess this yard work isn’t going to do itself.

[Horny Bull 2759]

Going to need a little more fight from the 2-3-4 hitters than that.

Wow

Maybe we'll get a hit if I turn this off.

Season is on the line next weekend against TCU

OU is on the verge of blowing this game wide open

[ClubWhatever 12128]

Ump just called a ball on the same pitch he called a strike to punch out Melendez. Actually the one to Melendez was worse. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

3-0

[jimmyjazz 45898]

Ugh.  Got him at 3rd, though.  Baby steps.

[chase25 2048]

Trey’s head is so far up his ass right now, plays like a Texas Ranger already

Throw this dude nothing but curves.  He struck out six times on curves. 

[hobbes2702 13032]

Less than ideal

[ClubWhatever 12128]

You fucking dumb shits.  Throw that fucker curve balls.  
 

i cannot believe they threw him a fastball 2-2. So dumb. 

Edited April 3, 2022 by ClubWhatever

[TwiceHorn 31449]

Oof.

[perfectchaos007 6633]

4-0 OU. Right where we want em

[OU Sucks 8806]

Jesus, every fucking OU hit is finding a gap, and when it doesn't, we find a way to fuck up.

[brojangles2 786]

I regret ever looking forward to baseball season.

Harrison on to pitch.

Extremely overrated. Something is off 

[chase25 2048]

Yes bring Harrison into a house fire when you are down 4 runs but bring in Nixon up 1-0 in the 7th yesterday… This is the elite managing Texas is paying for. At this point just put in fucking Nixon

We have no reliable bullpen, including Nixon. Something happened with this team mentally.

True as far as it goes.

Who else do you suggest?

[Horny Bull 2759]

4-0 OU after 4. 

[ClubWhatever 12128]

That was a big strikeout.

like us, this OU team cannot hit breaking balls. 

Edited April 3, 2022 by ClubWhatever

[perfectchaos007 6633]

I guess it will be a victory for us if we can end OU's no-hitter before the game is over

I heard that too. Roof can never be open during day game. Regarded

Hasn’t worked for me.

It doesn’t matter. Either the players are going to turn it around or they are going to fold. And Pierce is about as bland as a Manila piece of paper so it’s pretty much on the players to light a fire under their own ass.

Luke was a great option to put in right there I’m just amused we use our best bullpen arm down 4-0 in the 4th of a rubber match rather than up 1-0 in the 7th in game 2 and a chance to take the series. Just elite managing
