3 run homer for Brown, 4-2 Texas.

Down town  Porter Brown!

[Hookem2147 21289]

Facing a righty starter tomorrow (finally). Might need to get Peyton Powell (or maybe Whitehead) in at DH and maybe play Flores at 3B. I don’t see a huge difference between him and Carlson right now so just play the higher upside guy.

Are we seriously losing to a Big 10 school in baseball? Unreal

Bitch-ass in-game posts like this are what make the game threads such a beating.

Whoever’s idea it was to take Lowell of baseball broadcasts, at least most of them, deserves a fucking statue

Flores at short

We probably just need to prepare ourselves that we aren’t going to see that this year. Flores didn’t exactly cover himself in defensive glory the first weekend at 3B.

Eh, I’m willing to see what he’s got at a position he’s probably more comfortable at rather than keeping Daly in the lineup.

Reading a game thread after a win is always a good way to see who would quit like a bitch at the first sign of adversity.

That’s a shame.

So, you are saying this now applies in baseball.

Monday I had a cow-orker ask me if I was still flying down to CSF to watch them play...

Yeah I sure hope they are still calling our games when we go into the SEC.

They are so like-minded, that’s what makes them so good.

DILLY FUCKIN’ DILLY!!!

I can just picture that loser sitting in his one bedroom apartment muttering “oppo” and “velo” incessantly to a barren wall next to the water heater closet.

This team needs error free defense and minimal walks to give the offense a chance.  This was the blueprint.  

Sounds like a reoccurring nightmare.

[troph 24805]

You know the approach to seasons like this really needs to be - hey it’s baseball we are watching so we are already way ahead here, second a win is always a good thing, and hopefully we can watch quite a few wins, and let’s see them get better. I’m not sure this team will achieve greatness but it’s Texas baseball you never know. Hold it loosely, love the game, cherish the wins, don’t expect a lot, appreciate improvement. I didn’t follow the off-season much but looking at the roster coming back and the freshmen coming in, there were too many holes to expect a title run this year. That doesn’t mean we can’t have a great time. Last night was a great example.

I hope we get all the home games on TV, that and some of the women’s sports are the only good thing about LHN.

Wait….you don’t dig the same 5+ year old commercials over and over and over….?

Maybe sprinkle in a touch of baserunning discipline? Pretty please?

That’s not ever going away with Pierce.  We have enough data.

Ty Harrington is really good on the radio broadcast when paired with Craig. Wish they would have him do more games.

I was waiting for indiana to throw the ball away or do something to help us, since they’ve presumably been playing pepper indoors the past month- but they made every play. And a couple of real nice plays.

Where else will you learn of Longhorn Legends … from Nobel winning physicists to the affable traffic gatekeeper?

They’ve made 3 errors in 5 games, as compared to our 8.   Of course our numbers will flatten out as we play more games where we don’t have freshmen in their first start.

Only thing I like about that traffic guy commercial is how awkward fenves is interacting with students. His half hearted wave after someone has already walked by is so cringey. 

[Valmy77 13226]

So both the Basketball game and the Baseball game are on at the same time?

Good thing I have more than one TV.

GG DH?

Did we do that last weekend? 

[Hookem2147 21289]

Hmm…thought we’d be squeezing in all the lefties against a righty arm. Second straight weekend Galvan starts the Saturday game. Wonder if that will be a thing early in the year.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

I’m in BFE Texas at a cousin’s funeral service right now.
If anyone wants two tickets to today’s game PM me. Cell is spotty but I’ll try and respond to get the tickets transferred

Porter Brown for prez

[Bevo&Pevo 5150]

PLAY BALL!

timely DP!

[Valmy77 13226]

There we go Daly.

I wasn't worried for a second.

[zlavydra 2121]

Dude...nice catch.

[Valmy77 13226]

Wow that was embarrassing...for them.

[Pato del Muerto 52499]

There we go.

Possible crooked number 1st inning.

Yeah about that. Apparently our guys don’t know they are allowed to stop and go back to a base when they see the throw coming into second.

“Nothing” if it’s a Texas baserunner.

[Hookem2147 21289]

There’s a difference between being aggressive and being dumb and we walk that line far too often.

[Bevo&Pevo 5150]

^^ Little leaguers aren't flocking to any base running clinics at the Disch.

[zlavydra 2121]

20 pitches for IU starter in the first inning.

[Valmy77 13226]

Is that some kind of new strategy to ensure the guy on third doesn't get thrown out on a sac fly? Because that seems like a bad strategy.

[Pato del Muerto 52499]

Damn good thing EK got himself to 3rd on the error.

Yeah. Always run it out, you never know when something like that might happen.
