First impressions:  This team looks like Kansas or Indiana or something.   Where’s the talent?

There is the talent!

[Fletch 5800]

Porter!!!!! Yeah we’re gonna be fine down the road 

[Bevo&Pevo 5194]

tying run at the plate.

[hobbes2702 13045]

I like when we make contact with the ball way better

[Horny Bull 2760]

Guillemette follows with a double.

Yeah then Witt had Tommy John Surgery and weird things happened to Tristan and Aaron Nixon. Hopefully this season good surprises happen.

Nixon is a total mystery.  He was so good the year prior.  I have a feeling he is going to be dominate at MSU.

[Valmy77 13237]

This season's double hand sign looks like we are doing chin ups.

They didn’t have any pitching coaching and he didn’t grow at all. He was the exact same pitcher as the year before but with less control. The book was out on him 

[Horny Bull 2760]

I would appreciate us fucking up a pitcher named "Koty" just on principle.

[WBT 20587]

Let's go Mitch, have to get him in

[Valmy77 13237]

Good as a bunt. Get him home Daly.

[WBT 20587]

So that was sophomore Daly

[bluto 4932]

One of the few returning guys and he’s essentially warm pizza at best

[Valmy77 13237]

Put it in play but couldn't get the runner home. Damn. Not a bad at bat just didn't work out.

Second chance for the Freshman.

 

[Ewreck10 288]

Sheesh, two times with runners on 3rd with less than two outs and we can’t get it done with a simple sac fly. Come on Mitch.

[Valmy77 13237]

That will work! 3-2 now.

Keep it going Thomas!

[hobbes2702 13045]

That’ll work

[rivin 199]

Let's go!

[WBT 20587]

That was a gift 

[Bevo&Pevo 5194]

Keep diggin' boys.  We ain't dead yet.

[Horny Bull 2760]

Run scores on a wild pitch, lead is cut to 3-2.

[Valmy77 13237]

Alright. Back in it.

Hold em bullpen. 

[Horny Bull 2760]

3-2 pig after 7.

And it is only polite to graciously accept.

[Levi 2586]

Dalys approach looks very similar to last year. 

[Fletch 5800]

I’m feeling a walk off. Campbell goes yard to end it 

[Capn81 373]

Go fucking after these guys.

[ztejas 43467]

Seeing a lot of promising stuff tonight that isn't converting into results. We have a young team - that's to be expected. You can still it's Texas baseball out there. 

[Valmy77 13237]

Ah damn it.

[Cairn Horn88 8265]

Can’t let them score….come on relievers.

[Fletch 5800]

Time to make a pitching change 

[WBT 20587]

Why are we sending relievers back out after shaky innings?  It just leads to inherited runners and high stress for the next guy

 

[Valmy77 13237]

Here comes the elder Duplantier to pitch

[Horny Bull 2760]

Duplantier on to pitch.

[WBT 20587]

Duplantier the elder in

I imagine DP just wants to see some guys battle. There’s probably a relatively strict plan for pitchers and innings this weekend.

We also have some more pieces that could find their way on the field. Plenty of time before conference play.

Obviously Taylor is thinking….I don’t know what the hell Taylor is thinking.

Yeah this what he does OOC. Puts dudes in pressure situations to see what they got then come conference play, has his roles and lineup all figured out. 

[Valmy77 13237]

Well that is a hell of a way to start Dre. More of that.

[Hookem2147 21327]

We are going to need Chris Stuart this year. Only semi-known lefty we have in the pen.

Hope he finds his groove.

[Valmy77 13237]

One more out Duplantier! Keep us in it!

[Capn81 373]

Quit dancing and go after guys. He will be fine if so.

[ztejas 43467]

Duplantier throwing fucking gas. 

[Capn81 373]

Terrible pitch sequence there.

[Valmy77 13237]

Shut the fuck up Arkansas trash

[WBT 20587]

Good job Dre

[Valmy77 13237]

Hell yeah! Fuck Arkansas!

A little rough there at the end but well done Dre. 

[Horny Bull 2760]

Duplantier strands a pair T8.
