No facial hair, no hair to the shoulders, pants always be worn at the ankles or above.

Been a rule for Texas baseball forever.

And we've been to 38 CWS.

I think the image of Texas is important. I think it gets guys in the right headspace to play for the program and not themselves. 

I say it whenever anyone leaves - we want guys that want to play for Texas. It's a big deal and it's not a good fit for every player.

I know.  And again, I'm all for it.  

I'm just wondering if it has an effect on recruiting.  Do we miss out on this guy because he wants his long hair, beard, gold chains, silly eye black, etc....(his swag)?

[texastroubadour 1216]

Only Texas

[Horny Bull 2760]

3-2

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Well, this inning is quite the fuck. 

[Mo Horn 8849]

And that's how bad fundamental baseball puts you behind

[ClubWhatever 12148]

What a cheap run.   Jesus

[The_Great_Hornsby 3251]

We are the kings of losing baseballs in the sky. 

[WBT 20617]

Fucking babip

[texastroubadour 1216]

Can we not find a fucking catcher?

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

That is a serious break though. 

[DigDug 1672]

What in the actual fuck?

[ztejas 43477]

This defense is fucking AIDS. I don't care if it's the 3rd game of the season.

I agree 100%.  

We've obviously had success in the past adhering to the standards.  Is it sustainable in the future, or is overall baseball culture shifting away in a manner that makes it harder to do?  NIL lends itself to being a "character", having a sellable image, etc.  Will players be as willing going forward to lose all the individual bullshit and play within a culture like ours?

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

Shit, what can you say?  Jeez. 

[ClubWhatever 12148]

Explain that.  Wtf

If you would like to offer a blank check to NIL efforts we can have Tommy Whites on the team

[petscii 1189]

Y'all idiots do this every single start of the season.  Let's relax and tap the brakes some.

Bad break for SD.

Yeah but their run was on 20 feet worth of hits.

[Horny Bull 2760]

San Diego starter is done.

[UnhappilyMarried 816]

Stretch out Howard as long as he can go. Let him or Hurley prove they can throw strikes and give them Saturday

I believe the plan is to continue to stretch out Harrison as well.

Deserves it’s own term “Texas Pooper”.

[zlavydra 2123]

How do you "swing" like that at a 2-0 pitch?

[Horn80 6129]

Chewing gum is back Jack.

[ztejas 43477]

Very good AB from ODowd.

[Horny Bull 2760]

Bases loaded for Porter.

[SameSame 1705]

Somebody in the back half has to step up.

[Hondo 682]

Is O'Dowd still 0-for-2024?

Good walk/at-bat there.  Good to see him work the pitcher vs. swinging for the fences on every pitch.

 

 

[ztejas 43477]

This guy has negative command. 

[Horny Bull 2760]

Run scores on a HBP.

[ClubWhatever 12148]

That's gotta be it for this dude

[Valmy77 13245]

Maybe they are starting to run out of pitching.

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Definition of a Sunday game on both sides. 

[WBT 20617]

Hopefully USD is running out of arms

[zlavydra 2123]

25 pitches and one out on a liner

[Hookem2147 21340]

Sure would be a good time for Dee Kennedy to get his first knock 

[zlavydra 2123]

Too bad Luke Storm's not up with the bases loaded.

Ivran? So far away?

[Horny Bull 2760]

Belyeu pinch hitting for Kennedy with the bases loaded.

[Horn80 6129]

Another Fort Worthish player.

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

West FW on west FW crime here. 

[ztejas 43477]

Are they just gonna let this guy piss the game away?

I wouldn't swing at shit. 

[Valmy77 13245]

Nice at bat

[ztejas 43477]

Alright now bust this shit open Horns. 

[Mo Horn 8849]

I like free runs

[ClubWhatever 12148]

Solid AB

[ztejas 43477]

Omg he hung the shit out of that fastball...
