All shit-talk aside, WV pitcher has a minor-league career ahead of him.  Needs another pitch, but his stuff is pretty damned good.

Yep, first AB was bad (2-0 pop up), but his last 2 ABs he's hit the ball hard, and both right up the middle. 

Yeah that 2nd ab would have been a hit if it didn’t get a piece of the pitcher

RE: Strike out record, this is a pretty cool article.

Defensive swing by Todd on a 3-1 pitch. Drives me nuts.

[HuntinHorn 975]

Nice work Melendez. Thought he had a grand salami but one will do

Yeah that was terrible. Good eye to get the walk though. 

[zlavydra 2119]

1-1 pitch to Murph was meat, but he fouled it back.  4-0 mid-7th.

[ztejas 43411]

We can pay three guys to yammer on all game but can't get a pitch count on the screen. Brilliant work ESPN. 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Furk!!

[zlavydra 2119]

This guy Berry can rake.

[zlavydra 2119]

"Texas is a well-coached team. They don't make a lot of mistakes." Let's show this guy a baserunning montage.

[dcar00 14148]

awesome.  now our pen only has 2 runs to work with.

[zlavydra 2119]

6 extra-base hits on the year for that guy. He also hit the ball that Campbell caught in the 2nd.

[dcar00 14148]

gonna be interesting what stevens mental state is coming in relief.

Pierce mentioned on the radio before the game that Stevens was the one who approached him about moving to the bullpen, not the other way around.

Maybe he will find a comfort zone there.

[totallynotabuttpirate 5395]

Forecast for this evening is getting better. 

[Hookem2147 21188]

I hate bunting there with how the bottom of the order has looked lately.

[totallynotabuttpirate 5395]

Yea, make the guy throw at least one strike.

True, but we'll have better swings against this guy.  I hope. Also, Daly's hit it hard twice.

[dcar00 14148]

well done DC. 5-2.

[ClubWhatever 12120]

I wish Dalys swing was just a little less inside out sometimes.  

[totallynotabuttpirate 5395]

SC up 9-0 on aggy, T4

[zlavydra 2119]

First conference appearance for this pitcher. He managed to give up 6 ER in 2/3 of an inning against the mighty Pitt Panthers.

Sounds familiar

[totallynotabuttpirate 5395]

Glad I've also been watching the softball game. We're gonna lose, but some of the ladies....

Trey can't touch the scrub.  5-2 mid 8th.

pierce is done trusting his bullpen...as he should be.

Against 2 of the 4 worst hitters in the conference.  Not too worried.

[Hammerin Hank 1225]

Pete still looked good. What’s his pitch count now? Think we bring him out again?

Yes. Hell yes.

[Hammerin Hank 1225]

Yeah I think I would bring him back

[ztejas 43411]

Think he's at 109.

Have you seen our bullpen?

[hobbes2702 13028]

Tristan warming up. Seems pretty clear he’s not pitching game 2.

[chase25 2048]

Postseason or no postseason, CWS run or regional exit, nothing but respect for the load Pete has had to carry since Witt went down. You hardly ever see a pitcher ridden like this in the regular season anymore

Tristan coming in now. So he’s not starting this weekend

[dcar00 14148]

here we go.  only has to to get 1 though.

Pierce already said he's moving to bullpen.

[zlavydra 2119]

Anyone know if Tristan's starting game 2 or game 3? 😀

He’s finishing game 1.

[OB3 3608]

“Longhorns haven’t won here since 2018” checks notes last time we’ve played here… 2018

[dcar00 14148]

Can Witt throw left handed?

[petscii 1189]

Didn’t realized he’d confirmed. Last I looked was still him saying it was TBD

[petscii 1189]

why not just ride pete for the last out?

[rivin 199]

lol I thought that was gone

[Horn80 6114]

Whew.  Good win.

[jimmyjazz 45878]

Jeebus.

The guy who just walked had hit him hard thrice.
