Ok maybe Daly and O'Dowd weren't so bad

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Vandy has loaded the bases with one out.

5-0 Vandy

[MuellerHorn 4229]

Well shit. Game might already be over and Texas has batted once.

That’s what three errors and a meatball will get you in one inning.

Were you guys in the know skeptical of his offense?  Or was it his defense?

Honestly both. New faces everywhere isn’t promising early in the season. You know the drill, twice. We’ll have it figured out come April. Till then though….

[zlavydra 2119]

That wasn't a great pitch, but i wouldn't have expected it to end up 400 feet away to the opposite field.

[davi34 80]

Too early to say Rodriguez may suck?

[Valmy77 13226]

Lol ok well then

 

 

 

[zlavydra 2119]

This is like when we played Quinnipiac. 

LOL guillemette....

No fucking shit it’s too early. Hardly into our 3rd game 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Fourth error of the inning.

[Fletch 5800]

Ok maybe Daly isn’t so bad at short….

[WBT 20561]

At least Sthele seems good at getting groundballs?

No I’m gonna say he fucking sucks…

[TxTower 650]

I’m here at the game and have question.

Do we have any baseball players on this years team?

[WBT 20561]

4 errors, 3 SBs, and 2 3Bs in an inning.  That's something.

[zlavydra 2119]

This is the worst half inning of baseball I've ever seen Texas play. At least this weekend.

There’s a few.  But there’s a lot more jags and scared freshmen.  

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

Well, this fucking sucks.

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

This is terrible and I’ve seen nothing from the offense that makes me think we can come back from this 

[WBT 20561]

Can I add Morehouse and Sthele as weekend starters to my list of concerns?

[Valmy77 13226]

On the plus side Sthele still has a 0.0 ERA

Don’t think there’s much any coach could do with this lineup.

This ain’t good but man, I remember the 2016 Cal series being the worst I’ve ever seen. We got beat every which way in a 4 game series 

[MuellerHorn 4229]

I'm going to need daily inspirational texts from @Fletch at this point to have any hope for this season. Granted, again, it's all about April and May more than it is February and March.

8-0 Vandy M2.

I think Morehouse can be good.  He showed flashes last year and last night.  His ball has good action.  But…I’m not sure what anyone saw last year to think it would be a good idea to rely on Stehle as a starter.  

[WBT 20561]

It's close but my rec league softball teams have never had an inning that bad

Tbf he should have been out that last half inning fairly easy

[Valmy77 13226]

That certainly goes up there with most embarrassing innings in Texas baseball history.

Well the rest of the game is pretty much practice now. Come on freshman, show me something good.

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

Going to be a long bus ride home. 

[hobbes2702 13032]

I’m just not sure what anyone expectations were. Without landing a Friday starter and a 20 hr bat in the portal there wasn’t going to be much production from this team. Especially early in the season. They will get better but I think it’s a bridge to far to expect much in the postseason.

I mean….yeah dude. I’m hitting the bong not happy but talk to me after spring break and let’s see where we are.

Yeah Stehle gives me no confidence. But Kubicheck was a weekend starter once upon a time. We’ll see how it shakes out

Expectations surely included fielding ground balls cleanly.

I don’t think any of us expected to start the season 10-0 but that last half inning looked worse than the bad news bears…

Ooph.

[Horny Bull 2759]

No response from Texas, 8-0 after 2.

It’s also our “backup” infield. Take that as you will. 
 

But yeah every groundball was routine  

[WBT 20561]

Lulz, way to battle back that inning.

That was too many throws but I'm pleasantly surprised we executed that rundown

Edited February 19, 2023 by WBT

[WBT 20561]

And a nice play by Carlson and good pick by Constantine to end the inning

Hahahaha we wanted to fuck that up. Nice play though 

[B00M 6414]

0 hits and 4 errors … is that bad?

[TxTower 650]

Duplantier tried to over throw it but got lucky

[Fletch 5800]

Lead off walk, here we go!!!! Who’s with me!?!?
