LBJ announcing his presence with authority.

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

Blind hog finds an acorn, or in other words we got lucky.

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

Boom goes Jalin.

[shadow_operative2.0 16181]

Jalin yack. 

Edited February 21, 2023 by shadow_operative2.0
No ‘y’.

[rivin 199]

Solid first hit for the freshman!

[Levi 2657]

Pretty cool your first hit as a horn is a homer. Nice

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

JOD for a base hit.

[rivin 199]

DP, of course

[tejas60 3542]

Got damn double play. 

[Hookem2147 21930]

He still spikes one from time to time, but LBJ definitely has displayed better feel for his breaking pitches so far this year.

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

Close this guy out with a K

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

Good chance for a run here with men on the corners and 1 out.

[zlavydra 2142]

No game thread?

[WBT 20884]

A lead! 2 out rbis get you to heaven

Facing Gonzaga for 4 games has its perks. I watched the majority of their game yesterday and the guys Gonzaga was throwing couldn’t have been touching much higher than 85 MPH.

Touche

[Biff Tannen 46061]

Daly with a hit. More of that please.  All season.

[zlavydra 2142]

4-1 lead over Eva Longoria Aggy. Pretty hot.

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

Horns getting dangerously close to a game with 6 runs.  Money on the line.

[Biff Tannen 46061]

Wow.  Great throw Guillemette.  That was Ardoin-esque.

[NorthLoop 14421]

All these years and they can't fix the fucking shaky cam

[tejas60 3542]

Roberto Mesa leading off

[zlavydra 2142]

LBJ goes 5!  Very, very nice.

[zlavydra 2142]

Guillemette may have a French name, but he still likes meatballs. Leadoff double.

[tejas60 3542]

Can we just not try the outfield cam from now on?

You mean the Michael J Fox cam?

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

EK does it his way! Triple, baby!

[zlavydra 2142]

8-1 on bases-clearing EK triple.

[Biff Tannen 46061]

See now this is fun

[tejas60 3542]

Gus!!!!

It's like, better than losing?!

[Hookem2147 21930]

There was someone who said in this very thread that we wouldn’t score more than 6 runs in a game this season and was serious.

Well, he did qualify that statement a little bit.   And Pierce almost got decapitated there.

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

Offensive explosion!

[HuntinHorn 996]

Good to finally see some offense

[hobbes2702 13351]

I’ll be interested to see how we look at the weekend but I’ll take scoring runs over the opposite any day

Our annual tradition of beating up on ol’ boy Scott Malone is at least fun though. 

Let's bring 'em in twice a month.

Yes, G5-ish type teams don’t count.

From what I have seen from Pierce, he gives kids some shots to develop/show what they've got, but if they're absolutely terrible in those opportunities, they are at risk to be buried on the depth chart.

That seems fair to me and seems to be what happened in the Kash situation.

Beware the sunk cost fallacy.

Yeah he does what he did last weekend, put a lot of dudes in high pressure situations to see who’s got it then has a set lineup and set pitching roles come conference play. I’d obviously like for us to go back to the 02-‘11 stretch where we beat the fuck out of everyone, win the conference and cakewalk to Omaha. But I also appreciate the marathon not a sprint approach DP takes 

[Fletch 5817]

Yeah if we played a shit hook last weekend like sayyyy Gonzaga, the tone around here would be a bit different 

[Hookem2147 21930]

I remember when we lit up David Shaw when he was at Rice in game 3 of the opening series last year. 

Life comes full circle.

[Valmy77 13567]

Shaw seems good. Nice work.

Love his arm angle.  Love his stuff.  His control is concerning.  3 BB in 5 IP is going to get you beat by better teams.

Yeah well, watch what happens when we sweep Indiana. 

Despite loads of evidence the season is not determined in February, we seem to get over-reaction to the first few games every year.

Everything he throws has movement when he keeps it low in the zone.

[Hookem2147 21930]

What year was it that A&M Corpus Christi beat us last? Was it 2019 or Augie’s last year? I remember it was like a 6-1 loss. Wasn’t even competitive.

Edited February 22, 2023 by Hookem2147

[Valmy77 13567]

Great to see all these extra base hits from the young guys. I know it is Corpus but this is what I was hoping to see. We can't be replacing last year's line up with singles hitters.

[Valmy77 13567]

Daly with another hit.

[Bevo&Pevo 5507]

The 5-6-7-8 hitters are 8 for 14.  Nice.

[Cajun 11771]

Daly hitting, even against Beach Aggy, is gruntling.

Yeah it’s almost like we lost like 80% of our roster from last yeah and it may take a few weeks to develop and gel
