shut the fuck up about the really good zone..that was strike 3.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3251]

Serious question, how many years until we do away with umpires?

I’ll say this, everything is coming off the same plane. Like you said he tunnels his pitches really well. My problem is he has to be under 45% fastballs thrown tonight and most haven’t even been competitive to make you respect it and yet most everyone in our lineup has gone up to the plate looking for a fastball

Yeah something here has to be stellar, we sometimes suck but this guy is good.

[Grande Mart 517]

that was a strike. I don't know if any of y'all noticed

Texas Longhorns app. Listen to Craig and Roger

Craig Way said Pierce is letting him have it but Roger jokes that thinks the ump is too far away for him to hear it.

[texastroubadour 1216]

Fuck

[chase25 2048]

Travis pitches so timid for someone with a 95-96 mph fastball

[troph 24854]

Geezus Stehle. 2 outs no one on, you can’t walk 2.

[hobbes2702 13045]

Stehle is done. Question is who could you bring in and would you really even want to or just save for tomorrow 

[ClubWhatever 12146]

How can you be 60 games in and not be able to throw your off speed pitches for strikes?

[troph 24854]

GG missed that one too

[Redneck Mutha 8004]

Lfg

[dcar00 14269]

fucking Glavine gets the  6 inches off the plate and we can't 2.

[chase25 2048]

I’d almost give GG these last two innings off defensively. He looks so off

[troph 24854]

Not our best BB.

[Pig Bellmont 8719]

I’m done with Stehle

[troph 24854]

Good block

He has one fucking pitch. It’s ridiculous 

[Hondo 682]

When you know you're not going to get many (if any) fastballs for strikes and the guy has a good change up, you basically go up there with the approach of "count to 1, then swing opposite field."  It's the only way to force you to let the ball travel.  It also gives you a chance to see the bottom fall out of the change up and you can check/lay off.

As it is, they're up there with fastball timing and they're committing before the changeup dumps.  On the breaking ball, they see spin and they're just looping their swing to keep the bat in the zone, hopefully long enough to make contact.  Result - weak pull ground ball.  Think opposite field and they'll barrel them up with some stank on it.

You don't beat pitchers like him with home runs (and the ball ain't carrying tonight anyway).  You beat them with single after single after single.  And you fucking run - stealing on those changeups in the dirt and hit-and-run on the others.

Don’t bring in anyone you need for tomorrow….unless it to face one batter or whatever

[troph 24854]

Fuck man, deal

Stepping up to the plate sitting on breaking pitches is a dangerous thing. You can do it but it’s much easier to adjust to soft stuff than expect soft stuff and adjust to a fastball.

[Fudge Nuggets 19206]

Throw fucking strikes, asshole.

[Hammerin Hank 1227]

Why are we even throwing to 2nd on that pick/clock reset?

[texastroubadour 1216]

Sit ya ass down Tommy

[AUS-97HORN 11809]

and we just threw it to 2nd there....   why the fuck do we have to throw to 2nd if they dont?

[troph 24854]

One pitch man

[Ghost of Shag 2614]

Why does our catcher suck at catching?

[Redneck Mutha 8004]

Boom

[hobbes2702 13045]

Right down the pipe

[Valmy77 13243]

Sthele you have great stuff but you drive me nuts.

Ok three innings to walk this off. Texas Fight!

I wondered the same

[Wishbone 4762]

Fuck. Finally got out of it. Time to go!

[UTexasFight 9498]

Hahah how about right down the fucking middle 

he’ll never expect it there.

That’s seriously  what just happened 

[Redneck Mutha 8004]

Chip.  Chip.  Chip.  Away. 

Let's go

[b_p 448]

LOL he’s so pissed he watched that meatball for strike 3

Because they are cocksplats and we are not 

[dcar00 14269]

Tommy Boy doesn't think that is a strike?

He’s a California vegan of course he didn’t want it

No.  Absolutely wrong, with the exception of the pitcher having a dominating fastball.  This guy's is 92-93 and straight as a fucking arrow...no movement.  You can fight that off all day and sit on the other shit.

Difference is, if Matthews steps off again in an AB it’s a ball. Sthele can step off 100x if he throws over

[AUS-97HORN 11809]

this cock stain throws a strike almost every fucking first pitch. 

[Hondo 682]

1st pitch breaking ball at the belt.  Shocker.

[Horn80 6129]

Let’s go Horns

Gods dammit

The problem is he doesn't have great stuff.  A 95 mph straight fastball doesnt do much for you in todays game if you can't get anything else over the plate.  

[Levi 2586]

Flores doesn’t have a clue.
