From here anything is possible…

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

Sweet inning for Howard.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

So Keith and Roger saying tech is starting the pitch clock against Howard early... starting it before he is on the mound.

[hobbes2702 13048]

Max has so much pop in his bat.

[Biff Tannen 45692]

Quickly becoming one of my favorites.

I really like him as a starter. Hes not a Friday night guy but he can pound the zone and his change is a really good pitch

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

MAX!!!!

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

Max starts us off early.

Meh. Howard works quickly anyway

[zlavydra 2123]

O'Dowd hit the ball hard, so there's that.

Umpires should be controlling that. Believe the third base ump has the remote that starts and stops it.

[texastroubadour 1216]

Come on JT

[hobbes2702 13048]

More bad defense from tech that they refuse to rule an error. They gave Gaspo a hit there.

They had like 4 errors last night but only credited 1.

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

Gaspar just making a home at second base.  I'll allow it.

[zlavydra 2123]

46 pitches after two innings for Heuer.

[ClubWhatever 12151]

Thomas in a funk 

[n64ra 1086]

Who knew the key to hitting was to make the batters freeze their asses off.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Took the hit away now and made it E6 

[jimmyjazz 45986]

God, ESPN+ sucks.

[HuntinHorn 986]

Damn nice play by Thomas!

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

JT saves a run. 

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Nice throw, blocking of the plate, and tag!

[WBT 20625]

Nice play.  I was definitely saying no, no, yes when he came up firing home.

Tech pitchers must love that

[HuntinHorn 986]

Howard sucks again

[texastroubadour 1216]

Reversal of last night perhaps 

[David Dennison 18929]

No bueno.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Dammit...need a put away pitch.

[brojangles2 786]

Fuck you Kash. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

Dang it, Howard had 'em with an 0-2 count and he got off the hook.

Needed a weekend starter who was not a mopup guy the last year.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

Fat girlfriends making an appearance in the stands...

[jimmyjazz 45986]

Score?  ESPN+ is borked for me.

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

3-1 Tortilla chunkers

PB goes downtown.  BOOM! 

Now 3-2

Edited March 9 by Bevo&Pevo

[Biff Tannen 45692]

Excuse me Mr. Brown.  3-2

[Levi 2587]

Porter just poked the ball. These guys are horrible 

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

[WBT 20625]

You mean “Dan Law Field at Rip Taylor Park” 😎

[Biff Tannen 45692]

lol what a chaotic double play

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

DP ends the inning.  It was weird, but we'll take it.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

O' Jack miscue and still get two....😬

Wouldn't have worked any better if he did it on purpose.

But I'm pretty sure he didn't.

[texastroubadour 1216]

Get a bomb JT

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

Tech pitcher at 72.

[Biff Tannen 45692]

so does 5 LOB.

[Hondo 682]

Just like yesterday, JT's way late on the fastball up.  He's probably looking off speed, which is fine, but when he gets the heater, he's trying to catch up to it and rip it instead of just fighting it off or going opposite field with it.
