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

Cause players are pussies these days?? 

[troph 24,787]

That was a sick inside breaker.

[hobbes2702 13,033]

If you’re gonna bring in Witt why not make it a situation wheee he can throw from the windup. Hes looked like shit in stretch only.

[Dahobbs 17,534]

Not ideal. 

[David Dennison 18,856]

[troph 24,787]

That was not a sick breaking pitch. 

[B00M 6,415]

Unlucky ground ball hit 

[hobbes2702 13,033]

We have at least 5 legit bullpen arms and we bring in a guy that can’t throw strikes or get outs in 2 years 

[WBT 20,564]

Well shit, looked like a dp ball until it found the hole

[Levi 2,586]

St. John’s —> tx state would have been my choice on Witt but here we are down 2-0. Do not agree with Pierce on this one.

Lol who gives a fuck. We haven't even played 10 games.

Paxton is a looker. Damn.

At what point is he not coming off TJ? He had the surgery in March of 2022. It’s been 2 years.

Also true 

[ClubWhatever 12,138]

That braswell guy has worn us out 

[Dahobbs 17,534]

Witt doesn't necessarily look bad. But a really rough time to bring him in as he is trying to get back some confidence. 

[B00M 6,415]

Strike

catcher boofed

[The_Great_Hornsby 3,236]

Pierce is throwing the game away so we dont burn all our arms and lose the next two games chasing this one. If Witt gets it done, he gets it done, if not, we lose and try to win the next 2 games.  

[Hookem2147 21,217]

Come on Schuessler

When he pitches 6-7 innings and looks good?

4th inning and a tied is waiving the white flag? 

[D3zii 3,678]

Who TF PLAYS TO LOSE??? YALL sound crazy and if Pierce is doing that we need to leave his ass in Houston

He wasn’t even set to make that throw.

So we shouldn’t use him because he hasn’t been looking good, not because he’s “coming off TJ”. It’s been 24 months since the surgery we can’t use that as a crutch anymore.

[Hondo 682]

Hanging breaking balls to Tommy White is unwise.

Except he's likely to let this one get completely away from us and only record 3-5 outs

I think Pierce is trying to figure out what he's working with.

You know, like he does every season.

Seems to me to be a real “can he do it or not” for Witt.

[troph 24,787]

wtf? 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,972]

Jesus fuck. 

[B00M 6,415]

Where is O’Dowd?????

 

Regardless of outcome, TW’s stuff looks decent and largely well located after first batter … any word on velo? Announcers said 92 during 1st batter

Edited March 2 by B00M

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,771]

Arkansas pop up to the Bermuda Triangle 

[WBT 20,564]

wtf was that?  Way to take charge O'Dowd

[ztejas 43,420]

You have to catch that ball JT. Jesus.

That is what I am saying. He is experimenting. Winning has taken a back seat.

I didn’t say don’t use him. 

[Levi 2,586]

Kennedy has the speed to get there, just saying.  

[ClubWhatever 12,138]

Ok we know what Thomas needs to practice.  That was bad.

[BillyGoatHill 4,312]

Fuck you chain boy...

[hobbes2702 13,033]

Pretty good spot on that hook

[jeevsie 3,734]

Think they would have sent him on the foul out before?

[The_Great_Hornsby 3,236]

Not Thomas's best game so far. Hopefully he figures it out.

He’s 2-3 pitches away from getting out of this inning with no runs. But he needs one more out. Then he needs to hold them scoreless for a few.

[MuellerHorn 4,230]

What happened on the Galvan injury? I missed it.

Hurt his glove-hand thumb somehow.
