Porter could've grabbed a coffee before making that throw

Imagine being that poor fucker tagging up, thinking you're about to tie up the game, but then when you're only about 2/3 the way to home plate, the ball zips past your head..."furk!"  Ha...fuck 'em.

Color guy was a mega tool talking up every marginal thing TCU did. Fuck that bozo and fuck TCU.

They kept saying how much they liked how Texas was playing, pass the eyeball test, miss Augie, some of that shit was over and over. They were all over LBJs nuts, LGs nuts, it was a mutual slobber fest.

It was a terrible send.  Fly ball, not that particularly deep that had Porter moving toward home when he made the catch. Great throw but frankly that outcome was well deserved based on that send decision.

Ok Porter Brown and Texas you are filling me with hope once again. Not much work is going to get done after 1pm for me tomorrow. 

Looking interesting...

LBJ + manufactured run + double play and tag at home to win it…. Vintage Texas post season ball.

Lulz, y'all keep talking shit about Pierce's 3B coaching

Sweep tomorrow!

What about that play, which he had no part in, makes his 3B coaching good?  

Or are you referencing some other part of the game?

I think it is kind of nod to the terrible send there by the tcu coach maybe? Like hey you guys shit on pierce but at least he didn’t do that?  

[NorthLoop 14218]

Also that guy didn't seem particularly fast. I was wondering why they didn't pinch run for him when he was on first.

I think he was catching so maybe they were playing for extras too?

Road trip to enemy territory starts in 15 min.  Oh hell yeah

[Hookem2147 21345]

If it was anyone but the catcher running, I wouldn’t have hated the send.

The worst part about the send imo is Silva was due up next and despite the fact he’s in the 9-hole, he is one of the best hitters on the team.

Oh, he’s done that.  He just didn’t do it there.

But your point is taken.

[Cajun 11722]

For those wanting to support Porter’s NIL, just head to Costco & buy some of his coffee line…

[Hookem2147 21345]

If TCU has a smart coach, they will start one of the lefty relievers today they threw on Friday.

I think that dude knew he was dead when he saw where Brown caught the ball.

That send felt kind of personal. Like, we saw you play here, you're a liability in LF, we're gonna show total disrespect.

Whoops.

 

[zlavydra 2123]

Just out of curiosity, why announce that Tanner is starting today?  Why not just start Hurley/Sthele and sneak Tanner in the game in the 5th for an inning or whatever? Do we have to announce that a guy who hasn't played so far this year is being "activated?"

Pierce said it is to allow him to get a full warmup and feel like he is in a routine as supposed to getting him up in the bullpen in the middle of the game.

Well yeah they eventually couldn't avoid talking about gordon and lbj. Kicking TCU's ass. Auggie is standard announcer pablum when we play.

I’m no fan of walk up music, but damn if we had it PB would be set…

I believe there was definitely some of that mindset going on.... Porter has had some struggles in LF this year (most at the start of the season) but has made improvements as the season has gone on. He was a DH there mostly, possibly due to his fielding and his arm. The decision to go was made before Shaw even threw the pitch to the plate...tagging on a fly ball anywhere (?) in the outfield. 

Catcher running on a fly that shallow in the outfield (even more so being from Left) and that is going to be the result. Great throw and maybe even a better tag. Dude never even touched the plate.

He was out. That's all that matters

It was offline a bit, but his momentum was going to carry the throw that way.

It was aired without a hop or skip which made it easier for GG to apply the tag and get the out.

I'm glad they have shelved the Galvan catcher game on the weekends for now. He'll be good in a year or two but Guillemette needs to catch every game down the stretch.

He’s a true starting pitcher so he needs to work on getting back in that routine

Thanks. I hadn't considered the importance of getting back to the routine.

[zlavydra 2123]

TCU, for some reason I don't understand, is starting a RHP:

Looks like he's had one impressive-ish outing this year (against OSU).

Not sure how 3 for 36 (conference) going back to the K St series (I'd try further but it just kept getting worse)warrants batting 6th in the lineup.

Daly should be batting 9th at best and trying for walks, getting HBP or bunting (though as 3 yr starter he can't even do that)....it would almost be better to let Witt hit and let Carlson be DH'ing for Daly.

I’d actually hit Daly 8 and EK 9 since he’s not leadoff anymore. 

6th makes zero sense at all. Truly don’t understand that

It’s fucking insane. He hit like .320 or whatever as a freshman. I thought he was gonna be drafted in like the 5th or 6th once he was eligible. Nope. He was a doubles machine as a freshman. Is there a hole in his swing? Does he have no fucking confidence? Just amazing how far he’s regressed. 
 

It’d be like, idk, Jerrod Heard going off for like 500ish yards against sayyyyy Cal then being a shitty QB the rest of his time here

Someone offered a pretty good explanation earlier in the thread, or maybe in a different one. Basically, he doesn't seem to pick up the spin on breaking balls, and he doesn't have the bat speed to hit good fastballs. Once in a blue moon, he'll run into an 87-mph meatball.  I think Flores would do the same.

BUT, he honestly does play pretty good defense, and that's important as well.

Edited May 1, 2023 by zlavydra

[Hookem2147 21345]

I’m assuming they are doing that to try to break up the lefty bats. Maybe if Carlson continues to hit he can flip with Daly. We have the opposite problem we faced last year when we had basically zero left handed presence in the lineup, especially once Kennedy went down.

And if EK finds his groove again then you obviously don’t want him batting 7th for long. I don’t know, lots of options and things to consider.

But that has nothing to do with batting 6th in the order when you have pretty much done nothing for the last 3 or more conference series.
