More embarrassing? Turf field or Pierce as 3rd base coach?

With the base areas in a dark brown color found nowhere else on earth

Lol

[HuntinHorn 975]

No runnin lead foot mofos..

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Indiana catcher is gonna be MVP today

[SOBMarcos 60]

Baserunning is in mid season form. 

Indeed

[Mo Horn 8843]

They need to stop running on this catcher. He's damn good. Every throw is perfect. 

[MirrOlure 14779]

It would not be unreasonable to have a hard limit on baserunning fuckups that results in for cause automatic dismissal of the midget

The midget?

[ClubWhatever 12144]

For a team that people said needed to play more small ball we seem pretty slow.  EK has speed.  Dylan has a little.  Anyone else?

[Horny Bull 2759]

Hurley on to pitch.

The dumbass we have to watch waddle from the dugout to 3rd base every inning

[StassneyHorn 6576]

speed on display today is bad

understand both thrown out are delayed reactions, just dont fucking go if its not a good jump

[Valmy77 13226]

I don't get some of these decisions made by the coaches on the base paths.

First we are sending DC on a suicide run at 2nd base in order to protect EK on a sac fly. Why? EK is really fast. He can score on a sac fly, no reason to sacrifice DC for that.

Then we are running really slow guys for no particular reason. What? We have to protect the fast but be really aggressive with the slow? I mean if you can't steal on Indiana you probably aren't going to run on many other people. And it is not even close, these guys are being thrown out by a mile and the catcher doesn't exactly have a cannon back there.

I don't get it. Maybe let the guys hit? The pitcher was throwing balls we might have turned that into something if you don't send really slow guys stealing.

Tell us how you really feel

[MirrOlure 14779]

So is it just assumed at this level that they know there ass from a hole in the ground on the base paths? I sure as shit hope so and that we aren’t actually dedicating practice time or team meeting time to the subject

[MirrOlure 14779]

LOFingL

[J-Mart 60]

And another CS at 2B. Ends the 7th. 

[hobbes2702 13033]

Fucking seriously 

[Mo Horn 8843]

STOP RUNNING ON THIS CATCHER

Ya, he’s only got Texas to 3 CWS since he got hired in 2018. The slacker.

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Yeah lets keep testing their catcher!

You know what they say about assume …

[Horny Bull 2759]

4-2 Indiana after 7.

[Valmy77 13226]

So we're just going to get thrown out again? Let them hit Pierce. This is embarrassing. These guys aren't base stealers.

2017*

[ClubWhatever 12144]

His throws haven’t really been that good.   We’re just slow and/or not getting good jumps.  

[Hookem2147 21285]

Can our pitchers stop slowing down routine groundballs to the middle infield.

[ClubWhatever 12144]

Thomas doesn’t know how to stretch.

Did you want a comma in that sentence? Perhaps not.

[Valmy77 13226]

Any Big 12 or decent college catcher would have easily thrown out those three guys by a mile. If this is a new strategy Pierce needs to rethink it. These aren't baserunning errors, this is asking players to do something they don't have the talent or skill to do. Not everybody is a base stealer. 

As far as small ball goes I get bunting people over if you have people on with nobody out but unless it is EK or some speedster up there why would you run? Let these kids hit, the more at bats we get the more we can see who can end up being a really good college hitter.

I just don't get this strategy.

Their catcher sucks shit.

But really slow base runners are going to be thrown out by anybody good enough to play College Baseball.

Dude, they haven't even lost the game yet. Save the beatings for if they end up with a losing record.

[Horn80 6123]

Let’s go Horns

[J-Mart 60]

To the B8, no runs for IU. 4-2, IU. 

[TornACL 7698]

Eventually if you keep running on this catcher, his arm will get tired.

[Insert guy pointing at his brain meme]

[UnhappilyMarried 816]

GG having a blast catching for Hurley. Great inning

[Fletch 5800]

Hurley is a fucking badass 

[J-Mart 60]

3 up, 3 down for the Horns. To the 9th. 

[UnhappilyMarried 816]

Evening out the L/R split is probably a good thing overall, but we're going to miss out on a ton of runs with the wind out to LF

[J-Mart 60]

Good work by Hurley. To the B9. Horns need 2. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Last chance for the Horns.

Hurley with a badass relief performance.

Ok Campbell, time to break out of your slump.

[Horn80 6123]

Hurley is special

He started at USC and had good success.  Why is he not starting here?   It’s not like Morehouse or Stehle have a better track record.

Based on your posting here your user name seems very appropriate.  You probably my need to get laid.

[Pato del Muerto 52499]

3-2 hammer at your head. Good luck. 

[J-Mart 60]

Lazy pop to 2B and K looking. Down to last out. 

Pop out to 2B ends it. IU wins, 4-2.
