Don’t know why, but I have a hunch Belyeu is going to find himself in the lineup this weekend at some point and come up with a big hit. Has hit the ball well his last few PH appearances.

Could be tonight at DH. I like this matchup against the righty from Tech.

Give it hell boys, be loud 

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

I'm thinking this should be a good measuring stick to see how we are gonna stack up against decent competitors for the rest of the season.  LFG!

[Hookem2147 21188]

Would obviously prefer a series win or sweep, but as long as we take at least a game I won’t be too upset. Want to see us be competitive and the pitching continues to hold their own. Tech is probably the favorite in the conference after taking 2 of 3 from OSU and with TCU struggling. The outlook of this season is likely coming to come down to how we do against the middle of the pack teams (OU, KSU, WVU, TCU), and 3 of those series being at home will be huge.

Just try to tread water these next 10 days and find your groove.

PLAY BALL!

Is their entire team just homeless Duke Ellis'?

[Hookem2147 21188]

Hey Gordon threw less than 20 pitches in the first!

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Gordon wins that inning.

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

And where the fuck is Diana, tx?

@NorthLoop it’s your area.

Nice first two innings by Gordon

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Gordon and the defense looking good so far.

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Get 'em on, get 'em over and get 'em home.

[Valmy77 13225]

Woooo! Let's go!

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

GG not exactly speedy 

[hobbes2702 13029]

Hopefully O’Dowd makes me look stupid but I do not understand not bunting here. Especially in conference 

[Valmy77 13225]

Little surprised we didn't bunt there. I guess Pierce just figured Jack was hot.

[hobbes2702 13029]

So dumb.

It’s conference. Runs are more at a premium. Plus it’s a chance to get at the Friday starter early.

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

Fucked this inning to pieces swinging at balls

[BarthHollamew 227]

Is Pierce too proud to bunt?  WTH? 

[Valmy77 13225]

Fuck! Bad luck there. Daly hit that well.

Plus it looked like 1b was playing behind the runner?  Bunt it past the pitcher and it’s a hit. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Missed a good opportunity to get some runs.

[Hookem2147 21188]

Daly hasn’t exactly been Mr Clutch with runners in scoring position and O’Dowd has been the hottest hitter on the team besides Kennedy. The Daly line out and Thomas groundout likely means it wouldn’t have mattered either way.

Edited March 25, 2023 by Hookem2147

[Had Enough 2078]

I’d drop Thomas to the 9 hole.

Not bunting ODowd was questionable at first but it’s not a terrible decision. Lefty-righty. Pull side with the hole open.

[Valmy77 13225]

Hell yeah Gordon! He really has it tonight.

You bunt on a Friday night in conference with 2 on and none out. 

[Valmy77 13225]

EK!

[hobbes2702 13029]

EK is awesome

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

EK with a 2 bagger.

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

We can get to second, now we gotta figure out how to get home.  Tech 3rd base man is playing good ball.

Edited March 25, 2023 by Bevo&Pevo

[Had Enough 2078]

Techs a little fortunate this far. Two really well hit, hard outs. One well hit out.

[Valmy77 13225]

Two blistering line outs to the third baseman with runners in scoring position. Ain’t that a bitch.

[ClubWhatever 12120]

Inexcusable

[hobbes2702 13029]

Quit patting your fucking glove Daly. All damn year plays are closer than need be

[HuntinHorn 975]

Daly with the double pump and safe at first on a routine grounder

[Valmy77 13225]

You have to make that play Daly. Don't act like you have time when you don't.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4767]

Is there no one else to play SS?  Daly’s head clock and arm are not suited to the position …

[ClubWhatever 12120]

Throw Kash nothing but curves the whole series

[Hookem2147 21188]

Threw Kash 4 strikes

It’s a hole on the roster.  Texas (!) doesn’t have a shortstop.

Yup. Great 2 bagger. Ass at short imo

Carlson. Should’ve been starting there from day 1. Well, should’ve been starting at 3rd and moved over when Powell became viable. 

[ClubWhatever 12120]

He’s aiming.  

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

We are in trouble. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

[ClubWhatever 12120]

That was a gift
