San Diego @ Texas Series Thread

[Horn80 6118]

Is this the biggest (player height/weight) Texas team ever?

[Horny Bull 2759]

Big K ends the inning.

[jeevsie 3733]

Sit you ass down!

[tejas60 3533]

Fuck yes!

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

K. Baby!

Girls add another to make it 9-2 over the Trees.

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

That’s the worst at bat I’ve ever seen. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

I don’t believe you. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

Free bag. I'll take it.

Probably you’re right. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

Peyton with a nice insurance RBI. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

7-3 Texas after 8.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

Flores in yank mode …

[Horny Bull 2759]

Shaw on for the 9th.

[Valmy77 13226]

Close it out Shaw

[Mo Horn 8832]

3 quick outs and let's go home please

Or not

[David Dennison 18854]

Um, strikes?

[Valmy77 13226]

Nerves getting to Shaw I guess

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

Jesus, please dont let us close like last year where every 9th inning is in doubt, even if we are up 8 runs. 

[NorthLoop 14190]

Jfc dude you have one job

I was sitting thinking the same thing.  Why can't it just easy every once in a while.

Yeti zone gets rewarded on opening day

I was 3 feet from catching that ball and we were all covered in beer.  That was fun.

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Don’t save tonight’s defensive tape. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

^^ although no errors tonight.  There's been some opportunities to have some. 

 

Made the pitch when he had too.  Nice.

There we go Shaw!

Nice way to start the season. See you guys tomorrow

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

On to the next one. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Texas takes the opener, 7-3.

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

BS Blue, that was a strike.

 

WTG Horns.  Opening night win.  The Girls knocked off Tenn and Stanford in B2B games.  Nice day.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21898]

Nice come back win

[jeevsie 3733]

Winner winner!

[Mo Horn 8832]

Nice opening night win. You can't win them all unless you win game 1

[TrashMaster G 17551]

Show me a loss!

[Hookem2147 21208]

O’Dowd has awful range. Type of player we probably couldn’t be starting in the SEC.

Hopefully he hits.

[Hookem2147 21208]

When someone ask us a trivia question 20 years from now of who got the first win of 2024 on the road to a national championship, remember the answer is Max Grubbs.

[hobbes2702 13032]

Winning is cool

Multiple plays he should have been able to make. He really is limited defensively because he can’t get to shit

I doubt it. He’s pretty meh on both sides of the ball when it comes to Texas standards. If you’re going to be lackluster in one major phase of the game, you better be elite in the other. That’s not O’Dowd.

I can’t believe he’s hitting 4th. That probably needs to change 

[ClubWhatever 12128]

So San Diego College has a better second baseman than The University of Texas

Not sure we have many other options. Dee Kennedy played some 2B and he could be a good one with time but he’s a freshman. Ardoin’s brother I guess could also be an option but he’s a twig right now and needs to add 10-15 pounds to play at this level.

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Found out the other day Dee’s dad was two years behind me in HS. Runs an Italian restaurant here in FW.

Reminds me of 2 years ago when Pierce started the season with Daly hitting 4th protecting Melendez. He pulled the plug on that rather quickly.

[Biff Tannen 45673]

I’ve not been a fan of O’Dowd ever, but he tends to hit homers in the clutch. I wouldn’t be against finding someone to replace him though 

[Hookem2147 21208]

We could have had this Florida transfer this offseason but decided we were good in the infield once Luke Storm said he was coming and Powell announced he was coming back. Would have been the ideal utility fit and had experience at second base.

Supposedly Dee has a bit of a thumb injury.

Yeah, I doubt O'Dowd is long for the spot, either. He'll end up somewhere 6-9, especially given Gaspirino's, Sanders', and Belyeu's potential.

Sanders is going to be our next Faltine from a smack talk and edge standpoint. You can just tell from the way he carries himself.

Belyeu has such a sweet swing it’s just a consistency thing. His defense was horrible last year which is a big reason he never really played, so to see him make those plays tonight speaks to the progress he’s made.

[B00M 6414]

Bummed I missed the game but the highlights of the Flores slam look like a special way to start the season

This is what Vanderbilt decided

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

So what now is the radio station for the post game show?

Get back to the truck immediately after the game and nothing found on the dial…

I switched to AM 1300 but I did the same thing. I found nothing for FM. I’ll probably just listen through the website from on for postgame.

Also, is Jalin Flores about to be a star? 

[Levi 2586]

Didn’t Jayden Duplantier start a couple times last year? He made some errors but I’d imagine he could be an option at second if he’s developed over the offseason.
