And again. 

[jeevsie 3789]

WTF??

[troph 25198]

Tanner has pitch AIDS

[David Dennison 19518]

Double yikes.

[Gut Wagon 8219]

I feel badly for Witt. I feel even worse for us apparently having him as our third-best starter. 

[texastroubadour 1260]

Most unclutch team in America 

[Bevo&Pevo 5516]

Witt...WTF?  Back to a 3 run hole again.

[Lat22 4082]

Tanner just throwing BP. 

[HuntinHorn 1005]

Our pitching sucks Aggy taint

[Horn80 6356]

Pitching coach sucks.

[hobbes2702 13436]

Tanner is done. Stop pitching him. He has fucking nothing 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3593]

Lol, well fuck me, this is bad. They are teabagging us. 

[Hookem2147 22012]

The announcers trying to say there is no wind today as the flags are whipping out.

[BillyGoatHill 4420]

Pitching staff overall sucking.... JFC

[troph 25198]

This team is bad 

[hobbes2702 13436]

That dude was hitting 156 lol

[The_Great_Hornsby 3593]

No wind? The flags are flying in the wind lol

[The Longest Horn 157]

It’s gonna be a long season if we don’t score 20+ runs every game

[Hookem2147 22012]

That second homer doesn’t even reach the warning track at the Disch 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Lummus on to pitch.

[Levi 2663]

Lummus is alive.

Yeah, 326' at the foul pole is a high school ballpark (mine was 325')

That was also with a good breeze blowing OUT....(despite what the ESPN announcers said so I've been told)

There is definitely a lot of offensive talent on the team.  But the pitching and defense is crap.

[UnhappilyMarried 842]

About how I thought the series would go, though expectations always rise with a Friday win. Galvan and KS in the lineup was a nice revelation. I don’t even know if Storm would’ve had a spot in this lineup if Pierce would give Dee ABs

[troph 25198]

Jesus Christ 1/3 of their home runs at home so far this season against us and it’s only the 4th inning Sunday. 

[NorthLoop 14462]

Have we seem Boehm at all this weekend?

Not sure I would truly question the talent but fuck man, talent gets you jack shit in today’s world. it needs to show the fuck up.

And the thin air carries everything.

Nope. He would have first out of the bullpen for me.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Chase fits right in. 

[David Dennison 19518]

Wow.

[troph 25198]

No out walk to the 9th in the lineup , nice.

[ClubWhatever 12283]

Plunk him and lets have mayhem

[texastroubadour 1260]

I hope their rivalry with Arizona turns out well for them. We NEVER have to return to Lubbutt again for anything ever. PTL

DH, or put JT in center and Porter at DH. O’Dowd is the guy that would lose out

[D3zii 3937]

YALL need to lower y’all’s standards this season. YALL let game 1 reel yall back in. 
 

we’re just not there this year, our pitching isn’t good and we’re hot and cold at the plate. 
 

im just happy we didn’t get 0-3 on the weekend

He would've been at first with JT in center. Gasparino most likely wouldn't have been getting at bats and experience.

[NorthLoop 14462]

I thought he clearly came off the bag

The Will Mercer injury hurt 3x more than Storm quitting.

O’Dowd should be the guy losing out even without storm. Go look at the Duke 2023 stats and filter out non-conference. The assumption he was going to be a difference maker was pretty rosy to begin with

For the record, these are Tech announcers. The main guy has been calling tech football games for decades. They are 100% homers. 

[texastroubadour 1260]

Gawd awful 

[Gut Wagon 8219]

I'll be the semi-casual fan who asks, "Why don't we have elite pitching?" Because we don't.

Not that I remember, but I think he the best chance to become a weekday starter. 

[UTEE97 3931]

I miss the days when we used to win a lot of games with pitching and defense. This doesn't seem like a traditional Texas team.

Hes 6’5” 240 and a career 900 OPS. He certainly would have improved our lineup and defense.

I think I'll go find his call of last years football game.

Tumis on to pitch.

I would imagine he will be starting Tuesday and maybe next Sunday depending on results.

Combination of everything. Poor recruiting from 2020-2022, injuries, portal misses, juco misses, lack of development.
