Galvan looks pissed, needing consoled because he was removed. He must be ok. DP doing the right thing regardless 

[Hondo 682]

Announcer:  "It's still scoreless, but advantage LSU since Texas' starter is at 80 pitches in the 4th and LSU's is only at 50 through 3."

hobbes2702:  "It's Friday.  That's not how it works."

Good. Ace up the sleeve LFG

This batters stance is fucking ridiculous.   His head is like 3.5 feet off the ground

I know it’s like we only have one pitcher or something. I wasn’t aware that pitch counts got counted as runs these days.

That’s because we don’t face WF

Good pitching beats good hitting 9/10 times at this level. It’s why teams are able to ride the Landon Sims, Jack Leiter, Paul Skenes of the world in the postseason.

Reply if you stroked out & need one of us to call 911.

Look at where his back knee is compared to the inside corner of the plate.

[troph 24821]

That was a fucking strike 

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Fuck. ring him up.

I agree. But Holman is not those guys. He’s a fringe top ten pitcher in the country. 

[Dahobbs 17612]

This may be LBJ's last batter.

That’s my entire point. Saying we are losing because LBJ has a higher pitch count than Holman is dumb as shit

[D3zii 3705]

Damn LSU fouling off everything . 
 

we can’t even put a bat on the ball

[Dahobbs 17612]

Sigh.

First base coach is abusing the meal money allowance

That's because you don't know shit about baseball.  No, they aren't counted as runs.  They translate into runs though in a lot of ways (fatigue leading to missing location, pitcher pressing, getting to the bullpen, etc.).  Kinda like what's happening now.

[texastroubadour 1216]

Welp

This roster was never going to hit early in the season. Hang around, find a way to be in this game when we get into their pen. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

What a shitshow. I think we should keep LBJ in a little longer. 

[Rip76 4941]

Ugh

[troph 24821]

I hate these mullet facial hair gold chain fucks.

[hobbes2702 13045]

Oh Jesus. Tanner would not have been my choice.

[Horny Bull 2760]

Witt on to pitch.

[petscii 1189]

TANNER HAS THIS.  LET'S FUCKING GO

He said LSU has the advantage, that’s pretty much true. The game within the game and shit like that.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Lets go TW!

Agreed. He needs this opponent and extra juice to put it together.

LBJ isn’t missing location because he’s thrown 87 pitches. And pitch count doesn’t translate to runs if you have a bullpen that can get outs. Why you do you think baseball stopped pitching guys complete games?

Except it's true.  Holman going 3+ more innings than lbj is huge

[ztejas 43467]

Going to Witty?

He's about to hit us with Maverick.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.  At all.  That's about as nicely as I can put it.  I'm not going back and forth with you anymore.

Pretty much.

May have went from bad to worse.   Fingers crossed for Witt.  He did look good the last time out.

I know that starting pitchers pitch fewer innings than ever before at all levels of baseball. Why is that?

[troph 24821]

Oh god.

[chase25 2048]

Not a fan of the way Pierce has managed and called this game 

[shadow_operative2.0 15997]

That went well. 

[HillCountryBevo 231]

Bringing in a guy coming off TJ surgery in a big moment is a questionable decision by pierce

[David Dennison 18906]

Setting up the DP.

Smart.

[perfectchaos007 6671]

Maybe throw strikes?

[B00M 6416]

With with an extra arm waggle to come set? That’s new after the UCL
