San Diego @ Texas Series Thread

Gotta be honest, this tennis match is a little more interesting than I would have expected.

[Horny Bull 2759]

San Diego has loaded the bases.

I have ESPN+ but it isnt letting me watch the game because it is ESPN 3 and it says I am not authorized to view that content. So I am stuck watching tennis until someone wins. 

Click WatchESPN instead of ESPN+. Doing it that way on iPad now.

Clown show 

[EZ$ 2104]

Not saying he can’t be an effective pitcher throwing 89, but I’m a little concerned that Witt can’t hit 90 and doesn’t have much control.  
Always hear stories of guys coming back from TJ throwing harder and our course our guy is the one that loses 8 mph and his command. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15966]

Brilliant fucking outing. 

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

Hypothetically of course, how would one go about getting an orthopedic surgeon’s medical license revoked?

[David Dennison 18854]

Wow.

No shit. He’s not an option if he can’t get the velocity up. 

[HtownHorn 14677]

Witt isn't ready to be a starter let alone on the weekend. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Howard on to pitch.

[SameSame 1704]

He just always seems a little off-balance and a little out of rhythm. 

[texastroubadour 1210]

At home. To the Toreros. Fuck

[HuntinHorn 975]

So much for hoping for a good 5-6 innings from the starter.

[Hookem2147 21209]

Hate it for that kid. Turned down 7 figures to return to Texas and bet on himself and that looked the exact same as last year.

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

This is so tragic. 

A legacy who has passed up millions multiple times to star in orange and has it all taken away from him. Possibly the most talented arm on campus since Jungmann. Just an absolute tragedy. 

[MuellerHorn 4229]

He has to have no confidence at this point. Which sucks, because he was so good. He needs a move to the BP at this point; maybe that change would help him.

4 straight balls out of the bullpen. Going to be a long day.

[WBT 20561]

Every year it seems like Pierce starts the season with 1.5 SPs.  I don't get it.

[Horn80 6118]

Just tuned in.  What in wide world of sports is going on.

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

3 games into the new season and we've been behind the 8 ball in all 3.  I sure hope this trend doesn't continue.

He has failed miserably at recruiting them for 3 years running. He went to the transfer portal to solve the problem and they all got hurt

He was going to have about 4 this year and 2 of them didn’t make it out of the fall.

Same stuff as always. There’s literally no excuse to have holes in the roster these days, especially at Texas. SP, 2B, and C, for example.
 

I really like Pierce, overall, but he has some real negative trends with roster management and some WTF in-game, situational decisions.

Don’t forget Catcher is also suspect right now.

Yep, realized that as I posted. Made a quick edit. 

[AbeFroman 2156]

strikes help fellas

[Horn80 6118]

What a shit show.  

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

Get out of the inning 4-0 and we can still win. Good for the offense to have a little urgency anyways. 

[DigDug 1669]

This pitching staff is so damn weak.

[WBT 20561]

Attack the zone and we finally record an out.  Huh.

Yup it’s a real problem. I don’t doubt that DP will coach these guys up and we will be a good team with a chance at Omaha again. Just seems to be what he does. But if we want to win the thing we need some complete rosters at some point.

Tennis and the softball games have been more impressive than what we have seen so far from Pierce and Co

[AbeFroman 2156]

What?? 3rd didn't tag up??

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

We're lucky to get out that inning only behind by 2.  

[Horny Bull 2759]

2-0 San Diego M2

[HuntinHorn 975]

Thank you Howard for finishing strong after the two damn walks for runs.

[Fletch 5800]

Could’ve been worse. Let’s get those runs back

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

Yeah we’re winning. Nice work. The Witt experiment sucked, but it only cost us 2 runs and now we know where we stand on Sundays 

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

So, Witt looked good?

[AbeFroman 2156]

I can't think of any reason the guy on 3rd didn't take a shot to come home, more than likely would have come in standing up.

He did have a fresh haircut. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15966]

Hey, tennis won. 

[zlavydra 2119]

Let's depose this Kysar and get the Weimar Republic started.

[texastroubadour 1210]

Damn. Do we have a pulse?

[Hondo 682]

LHN was stuck on tennis for a bit.  Y'all mind giving a little update on Witt?

Was he pulled because of command or did he injure his arm again?

[shadow_operative2.0 15966]

He ain't hurt.

0 progress made since his reintroduction last spring. Command and velo still way off.

Not hurt. Subpar velocity and shaky command. All three outs in the first were on balls put into play. Pierce pulled him before it got really bad.
