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

I know I have said it before but there are a fuckton of D1 relievers who have success with 87-90mph.  They aren't the weekend starters, they aren't the Tuesday starters, they aren't closers. However, they don't give up 5 hrs to AF in a single game.  With the exception of Cobb, I think all of our pitchers today have sat 90-95 with flat fastballs and a very mediocre team has fucking just wrecked our staff. They did it yesterday, too. Do we have a pitching coach that will tell these guys that this isn't 6A or summer ball and D1 hitters are all capable of teeing off on poorly located 95? Also, when did Texas decide that throwing 2 pitches consistently is enough?

southard can throw 95.  the other guys, are throwing 88-91.  sthele in particular was groovin 88 up in the zone.

and yes this is our problem. the bullpen can't locate the fastball.  It has been a problem all year.

Some of these guys aren't really good enough to be here.  We've seen a few this series.  I don't know if it's that they couldnt sign the guys they really wanted or just piss poor scouting and evaluation.  You can't come here needing to learn how to throw a breaking ball or not being able to locate your pitches.

Somebody is clear eyed.

I guess. I’ve been an umpire before. When I made a bad call, I knew it, and I would give a little more leeway if a coach argued. 

if it is from the dugout there is probably leeway, maybe even from 3B but if you come down the line to home plate you are getting tossed and Pierce knows that.

How the fuck do you get to Texas without knowing how to throw 3 pitches?
