Air Force @ Texas Mid-week Series Thread

[zlavydra 2119]

Texas hosts the Falcons tonight at 6:30 and tomorrow at 4:00 (?!).  Air Force is surprisingly non-awful, with an RPI of 136, which is just below Washington, Indiana and Kansas, for comparison's sake.  Some of their hitters have impressive stats, but I think a lot of that is a result of playing: 1) in the MWC, and 2) home games at altitude of...however high up Colorado Springs is.

Tonight we have Eckardt v. freshman Dylan Rogers.  I'd be happy if Eckhardt could just give us 5 non-terrible innings and save the rest of the staff for tomorrow night and the Rapelor series.

More like chair force am I right

Pops is a USAFA grad, so we’re trekking down from Dallas for tonight’s game…his first trip to the Disch, pretty pumped. Hopefully Texas gets their shit together for the stretch run here.

If you don't like your seats consider moving.    Ushers rarely enforce seat checks especially for midweek games.

Air Force Academy altitude is 6788'

Also - just some food for thought - Ivan had his last AB on Maundy Thursday - was out on Good Friday - was he good to go by Sunday?

 

Not saying he's Jesus or anything - but he can probably hit a curve better.

I like this better than naming him after something that was unsinkable....

THE EDINBURG HINDENBURG!

Soooooo why not Campbell to right, Stehly to DH and Todd to the bench? Campbell is a way better hitter than Todd. He’s still developing. Todd is a 30 year old wash up that gets walks and singles sometimes while he hits .220

DON"T SPEAK ILL OF THE ROUND ROCK SLIPPERY ROCK!

[Fletch 5800]

Ha I mean I’m a fan of the dude but if he can’t play in the outfield then he shouldn’t be playing. He’s damn good defensively and damn mediocre at the plate (putting it kindly). Campbell on the other hand has gotten comfortable and has been on a tear since the ou series

Wow. Their best pitcher catches when he's not on the mound? Impressive.

Already fuming. Strikes.

Sigh.

[zlavydra 2119]

Bases loaded, no outs. Is Dre warm yet?

X2  I'm having KSU flashbacks from over the weekend.

[zlavydra 2119]

Eckhardt finally made  some good pitches. 2-0 AFA

[Horny Bull 2759]

Could’ve been worse. Go get those runs back.

[Pato del Muerto 52484]

Nice to see the afa kids playing smart baseball, making sure to get the 2 runs that were there for them.  Since they will be working for us in a few years.

Is there a non ESPN stream anywhere? Friend in Virginia is trying to watch

And goes to the Air Force Academy. Probably has trouble getting laid. 

[CptnJiggleBits 915]

Pierce no send him?

2B launched himself like a tomahawk missile

Shitty pitching is shitty

Well, at least Justin supports our military.

[David Dennison 18840]

Maybe don't throw perfect strikes?

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Well, let's just keep digging a deeper hole.

Save him the angst

[Horny Bull 2759]

Harrison on to pitch.

[CptnJiggleBits 915]

Well.. .that was an outing

[zlavydra 2119]

Eckhardt rolled his eyes like he didn't deserve the yank. 

[texastroubadour 1210]

Infuriatingly pitiful effort pitcher

[Pato del Muerto 52484]

Just need 8 innings of relief on the first game of a 5 game week. No biggie. 

[Fletch 5800]

The Eckhardt as a starter experiment needs to end. He’s way better out of the pen. He hits like 96-97 out of the pen. Let’s him just let loose instead of pace himself. Then again I think I’ve only seen him out of the pen like 2 or 3 times but yeah

[ClubWhatever 12120]

Bout ready to give up on Eckhardt.   He doesn’t change speeds, his slider is flat, and has poor command of the fastball.  Not sure he has a future here.
