With Witt we’d be able to use Gordon out of the pen the let Gordon give us 3 on Wednesday. He looked pretty solid coming out of the pen earlier in the year. Gordon, Harrison, Cobb and Nixon seems to be coming back would be a filthy pen. Still think we’re gonna be fine this time next month 

Anyone else kinda want O’Dowd to get he nod at 2nd? Daly has been not so great at the plate 

I'd be OK with rolling someone else out at 2B.  something happened with Daly from post season last year to now after he killed it for the entire regular season.  maybe there is a book on him now.  I'm not watching his AB's, and the pitches he gets, consistently enough to know.

that said, your 2B isn't supposed to drive your lineup, and you shouldn't need him to hit .330 to have the lineup produce.  they are normally hitting 7th or 8th for a reason.

Third row behind the Army dugout with my Dad and BIL. Army had a good, disciplined team and after they pulled ahead, I thought  we might have another game on Monday. Cameron said No. So the sec

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

Also, why not let Kash DH every time we see a RHP? I have a feeling he'd outproduce Todd, even while looking silly against good breaking balls.

Agreed. I don't remember anyone doubting this team that much back then. I admit I was chin deep in the Kool Aid.

We were all high on the moment.  Team came out in mid-season form and the pen wasn’t a factor b/c of our 3 starters.  Once Witt went down the butterfly effect changed all of that and the team’s soft underbelly was exposed for the guttings we’ve seen since.

‘Simple as that.

I can't remember, but has a Texas team ranked as highly as this one to start the season ever turned out to be this bad?

Not in my lifetime.  This has been a collapse we haven’t witnessed to my recollection.

He may need just sit for a few weeks. Clear his head. O’Dowd has some serious potential and is probably our starting shortstop next year

And yeah I bet we’re gonna see like 5 pitchers transfer this off season. Let Pierce use those juco connects. Hopefully Cobb comes back. Him, Gordon, Harrison and Nixon is a nice little start to finding the the right guys. When skip gets fired can we bring our boy home? He, pierce, Allen and tulo would be filthy. It’s not going to happen but it’d be pretty cool if it did

Well, could’ve been worse

Feels like when we were one in basketball and just jumped off a cliff and lost like 19/20 or whatever.  Maybe 2009?

and don’t forget dude. Highly doubt Sthele, Blair, Duplantier, Eckhardt and Morehouse are going to pitch any real innings down the stretch. Harrison, Cobb and maybe LBJ on the other hand….but yeah. They teed off on our shitty pitchers. Salvage the win tonight and take care of the car skinners 

atta boy, hodo
