The ball does seem to be jumping out of Witt’s hand better than previous outings 

His stuff looks pretty good and he really didn't pitch poorly that inning.  Made a bad pitch to a good hitter.  If it was a GIDP, nobody would think twice about it.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

Just got off work and we are down 2-0 after half an inning. Wonderful. What happened?

[Lat22 4010]

On a procedural note, why didn’t anybody else catch that popup? The pitcher is not supposed to do that. 

[NorthLoop 14180]

Leadoff walk

Witt made one bad pitch that cost him.  The runner on 1st drew a walk in a pretty good AB.  Witt pitched pretty well.

Our catcher wouldn’t start defensively on some 6A Texas HS JV teams

HBP?

Yeah, ball 4 hit him.  Worked to a 3-2 count, then got nicked on an inside fastball that they'd say Porter Brown turned into if he was at the plate.

How is that ruled?  #notarulesguy

[zlavydra 2119]

Terrible 2-strike pitch. Thanks, dude.

[Hookem2147 21188]

CF can’t throw.

Witt looked pretty comfy catching that one

Stay hot Downtown

Technically/statistically a HBP, but it was ball 4 and he wasn't swinging, so functionally it's the same thing.

[zlavydra 2119]

Scheussler got worked.

[Horn80 6114]

Kimble not cutting it 

[ztejas 43411]

This might be a long fucking season boys.

[Revolution512 1487]

lol he had no idea what to do, zero plan

[dcar00 14147]

yikes that wasn't even close.

[Lat22 4010]

Of course aggy rolling with a GIANT block T on their caps. I guess their Texas Aggy shirts were dirty. 

[WBT 20559]

20 pitches at least.

Not that anyone ever goes deep on Tuesdays anymore.

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

Let’s work a quick inning here. We’re going to score some runs tonight

such fucking dorks...they just can't help themselves.

[Hookem2147 21188]

We get the guessing umpire tonight. Fun

[Hondo 682]

Righties are going to have to look to take the breaking ball up the middle or opposite field and fight off fastballs as they come.  Try to pull everything and this guy will eat us alive with that slider.

He'll work to the fastball the next time through the lineup, but that only assumes he can throw it for strikes (he hasn't shown that yet).

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

Can we stop switching to the backstop cam…

[Hookem2147 21188]

Most infield singles allowed in the country. Add it to list.

Does it count as an infield single when JT drops a fly ball?

Sending a message .. A&M nowhere to be seen.

[Lat22 4010]

“ hit well with some carry.”

 

We should make this a drinking game. 

[jimmyjazz 45878]

Sweet DP Texas

[HuntinHorn 975]

Nice DP fellas!

[dcar00 14147]

that was a great play. and by O'Dowd as well.

[Fletch 5800]

Flores is going to be an animal the next 2 seasons 

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

Gorgeous. Flores has a glove on him 

[hobbes2702 13028]

That will work

Flores has looked REALLY good at SS.  Honestly surprised O'Dowd didn't bobble it, but even managed to turn it.  😄

Witt looks relaxed/confident and that DP really helped him out.  Down 2-0, but I see a lot of good things going on.

[Fletch 5800]

Sit fastball. This fucker can’t locate his curve or slider

That and "and the pitch gets away from Schuessler!"

I was going to say the opposite.  He can't throw the FB for a strike and is relying heavily on the slider, even on 3-1 and 3-0 counts.  It's flat too and we should f'n hammer it.  

 

ETA:  breaking ball is tailor made for Gaspy's long-ish swing.  And he's got the length to drive anything remotely close.

I wish Jack could do anything other than dead pull hitting

He just turned a nice DP. He had a yack last weekend. 

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

Tanner looks good. The fact that he is locating a fastball in the 90s is a relief.  He isn't overthrowing.  Confidence is coming back. If he doesnt get shelled next inning this is what we wanted.  One mistake to an undefeated Aggie team is fine with me.

[hobbes2702 13028]

I don’t get why we would DH Gaspo. Hes better defensively than our OFs not named JT.

He either got beat up at the chicken or has gin blossoms under his eyes.

2, I believe.

[ClubWhatever 12120]

We should be taking 2 strikes on this guy from here on out.
