How do we have a staff full of 89 mph arms. Southard is the only pitcher I’ve seen with dominant stuff. And the guys with 89 mph fastballs aren’t accurate and miss high constantly.

Pitching beats hitting in the CWS. Our arms are all far from domint. 

One of the few good points made lately. We don't have a lot of big arms, which is puzzling.

You wanna guess the type of arms we had when we were winning it all?

Justin Simmons threw about 137 mph.

[ztejas 43418]

Unfuckinbelievable. Mitch Daly with the season on the line. 

[4th and 5 4914]

That’s the only thing Daly has hit all year

[wood 11225]

Broken $50K camera lens about to change our mojo.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

If Ivan goes down without getting something, then you can turn the TV off and get on with your day

[Guadaloopy 10960]

[MirrOlure 14760]

Please

[Longhornlove 4813]

We don’t. Most of our pitchers sit in the low 90s. Southard, LBJ, and Witt were our power pitchers this year. Even Tristan has elevated his velocity this year

[Longhornlove 4813]

ball mother fucker

[Mo Horn 8832]

That about sums things up

[wood 11225]

JFC. That's low.

[hobbes2702 13032]

That’s not a strike 

[Fletch 5800]

Bull fucking shit!!!!

[Longhornlove 4813]

that wasn't close

[chase25 2048]

Brutality of baseball in one AB. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

THATS AT HIS ANKLES

[WBT 20561]

well that's deflating.  I thought it was low but too close to take

[SarksJuggs 1106]

Ball game

Does anyone know if this year's pitching staff is worse than the 1998 team's? The one with a 6.36 ERA. @sidis

Comparing ERAs from 1998 of all years is remarkably dumb. That was the year that resulted in changing the game away from gorilla ball given how out of control it got. 

also, Texas baseball didn’t exist from 1994-2001. 

also, fuck that ump for that strike three call. Complete horseshit. 

[Blotto 23497]

pretty fucking low.

Velocity isn’t everything. 89-91 with command is better than 94 straight as an arrow with no idea where it’s going.

Oh I know. But those guys could throw strikes and control a game. Like I said. These guys with no stuff also have zero control. They get shelled.

And aggy thinks this is the title game 

[D3zii 3678]

I think that was our chance!!!! Ahhh can’t win em all, o well hopefully Football can get the athletic year off on the right foot. . 
 

See y’all in the football thread

Didn’t really look all that close.

[Longhornlove 4813]

that was 4-5 inches below the knee, he hasn't called that a strike all day.

[Mo Horn 8832]

Just now, WBT said:

Not sure he could have got his bat on it, if he did swing. It was that bad of a pitch. 

[Eastwood 4394]

That wasn’t a strike. That kind of day. 

[Godzillatron 292]

Fuck that was low

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

Just now, WBT said:

No. That was a ball twice on Daly. That’s a ball all fucking day at any level of baseball. That is complete bull shit 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

A really tough call in that spot. I don't blame Ivan for taking it.

How about we just compare the rest of the DP era? Why don’t you do that and get back to us. Let us know what you find lol

[mrhorn 1383]

LOL, from LL to MLB Is that ever a strike

[Sir Ulrich 5187]

Pitch framing is a stain on this game. It's the equivalent of flopping. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

That was literally at his ankles. Umpire is actually fucking moron. Please just go to automated strike calling. That was highway robbery. 

[ztejas 43418]

Congrats aggy. You fucking shitheads. 

[bluto 4916]

Reckon got a call on Daly’s ball 4 and gave it back with Ivan. Love a team down 6 looking at essentially 3 strike 3’s in an inning with hodo too. Bunch of pussies today 

[troph 24783]

And the fucking announcers won’t even acknowledge it was questionable.

[OU Sucks 8807]

It was like 3 inches above his ankles.  Nowhere close to being a strike.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

Why are we still using umpires to determine strike zones?

That’s the point I just made to the lady. The batter before walked to first on that pitch.

[Fletch 5800]

We got totally fucked there. But man we got the bats to make the comeback. Let’s do this 

[Blotto 23497]

bases juiced and you get melendez up to bat. All you can ask for. Blue fucks us in the ass, and thats probably about all she wrote. 

[chemHORN 1239]

We have played so far like we were just happy to be here.  No urgency, no real game plan at the plate for 2 straight games.  Just haven't been sharp mentally.  That will get you beat.  

[Eastwood 4394]

Pretty similar looking pitch just called a ball right after, too. Shame. 

[dbecks 442]

Would be nice to have some sort of statcast on college… for entertainment purposes only.

That was some bullshit.

They’ll get skullfucked by domers or swooners. They get one more game than we do
