we look clueless.  that first strikeout was exactly what I was talking about.  long loopy swing with no chance.

It's like the 20th at bat of his career and and he's facing their Friday night set up man.  Come on.

So your expectations seem unrealistic for probably 90% of college freshmen.

[dcar00 14181]

We baby and cuddle and network and protect our guys.  The day we stop, the day we get rid of the cameras and the LHN and the nice questions is when our first step to getting better starts.

So all the games won't be on SEC network/ESPN next year?   That is without a doubt the dumbest shit posted here today..  Good job...

[BB65 478]

Very few Horn players shorten their swing, hit middle to away or try to foul off pitches with two strikes. They would rather swing over the top, pulling their head off the ball or stand and look at strike three. Strike outs to them are the same as any other out  
 

Someone up thread said LBJ had an off night. He didn’t pitch that bad just LSU hitters were fouling off two strike pitches that LBJ normally struck batters out on. LSU’s approach at the plate caused LBJ to throw 90 pitches+ in less than 4 innings. That’s the blueprint for beating tough pitching.

Good point. I heard O’Dowd has been doing countless LHN interviews instead of hitting in the cage.

[ztejas 43418]

And PB gaps one on a check swing. 

Can't make it up.

[dcar00 14181]

nice piece of hitting from Flores

[ClubWhatever 12129]

Made them burn an arm.  Yay.

You don’t read well bubba. You can be a bitch all you’ll want.

There's been stupid shit comments on the Shag/Surl before, but this ranks right up there.

6-3 mofos

[hobbes2702 13032]

I’m just not sure what anyone was really expecting. All the problems we have right now are the exact problems we knew we’d have. And from what I can tell, we have a couple spots where we are much better than expected.

We knew we’d be young at the plate. We knew once Storm was out we lacked a power bat in the middle and a natural defensive 1st baseman. 

Despite losing our likely closer the bullpen looks stronger than it has in a few years both in arm talent and number. Hurley is showing he’s a real Saturday guy.

I’m just not seeing a lot to be down about and I’m usually the negative one.

[perfectchaos007 6635]

At least we got the tying run in the on-deck circle

[chase25 2048]

Damn man, I was really hoping Borba was up there looking to battle and foul off pitches. Got to have a better approach than that.

[hobbes2702 13032]

And now we are gonna win

[dcar00 14181]

nice hair...kelly leak

[ClubWhatever 12129]

Borba looked totally overmatched for 3 at bats and then crushes one. 

[SameSame 1704]

You stupid asses think losing is ok.  Just a handful of grab bag of stupid motherfuckers.

I handful of fucking idiots who think quips get us where we need to go.

6-3 final

[ztejas 43418]

That's maybe the gayest mustache I've ever seen in my life. 

[chase25 2048]

Well pack it up, season is over.

[Had Enough 2081]

Seems as though a number of you need some life coaching from Fletch. A jolt of positivity.

[hobbes2702 13032]

Damn Dee. If you’re gonna swing then swing.

I need to close the browser before I go all pilot's error.. love you all see you tomorrow!

 

 

[B00M 6414]

20th K looking hurts a bit. Last 2 strikes were really well located

[dcar00 14181]

shocker that the CF is a douchenozzle.

[SameSame 1704]

Keep going you guys are cool, keep going, keep being cool.   2005 is our last.  By all all means let’s keep going.

That will pretend game is strong bro.

You haven't even been here a year, sweetheart. Maybe tone it down on the "everyone here is clueless about Texas baseball" angle. You came on a little strong tonight.
