Hell, at this point why not?

Good lord it’s still the 4th inning?

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

OK. Not listening to them.....plenty of bitching (rightfully) about them today, yesterday and Friday.

Not sure why people don't listen to OUR broadcast (Roger and Keith today) and sync it up with the ESPN video...

[ClubWhatever 12283]

Nice block

[Fletch 5817]

“A pretty good ride to center” as gaspo jogs in to catch it 

[Hammerin Hank 1264]

“Gives this one a pretty good drive”

Gaspo comes in 4 steps to catch a routine pop up 

[Horny Bull 2766]

6-3 Tech after 4.

[Fletch 5817]

Remember that one time Lebarron threw 170 or whatever it was pitches? Can he do that 4 times a week by any chance?

My personal favorite is “brown pokes one into left”. 

Spoiler

It was a HR. 

 

[ClubWhatever 12283]

Thomas blown away.   We don't have a single arm like that.

[troph 25198]

I hate seeing tech mother fuckers walking with swagger. Especially those with dweeb mustaches and mullets.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Solo shot for Powell.

[texastroubadour 1260]

JT…not his series

[BillyGoatHill 4420]

Nice Peyton!

[Fletch 5817]

Powell is a grown ass man

Guys with ERA’s north of 12? We actually only have a few of those.

[BillyGoatHill 4420]

Dumb fuck Kash finally learns to get out of the basepath

[Fletch 5817]

The fucking park is small. That’s why it’s playing small. That’s why tech players all have double digit homers every year. These fucking guys are something else 

[Bevo&Pevo 5516]

Powell ain't giving up yet.  LFG!

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

Everything you look for in a middling program for sure.

[troph 25198]

infield collision…

Plus they pad their stats by playing law firms....Gardner-Webb.

I can’t name one quality pitcher we’ve added through the transfer portal since it began. Marcus Olivarez I guess for the 2022 season?

We've been much better with bats. Antico, Messinger, Brown, Guillemette.

Does Andy McGuire count? He was a really weird situation but turned into a decent closer for us

"This is not a small ballpark"  facepalm

[troph 25198]

I’m not giving up on winning the series. Not at all, doesn’t mean this is a good Texas team.

Tole looked promising when he showed up.  And then???  No idea what happened.

[Bevo&Pevo 5516]

PB keeping the pressure on.

[troph 25198]

Kinda knew he wasn’t going to be able to extend a Superman game at the plate.

[Hookem2147 22012]

Jesus Christ that is low 

[BillyGoatHill 4420]

Terrible call...

[NorthLoop 14462]

Ugh he called the same pitch a ball 2 pitches earlier 

[Hookem2147 22012]

Hurt his shoulder and now throws 85. We are good at that.

[texastroubadour 1260]

Wasted opportunities again

And inside. terrible call

[troph 25198]

I thought it was close enough to protect. 

[Hammerin Hank 1264]

Bad call, but he also chased ball 4 the pitch before

My thoughts also when he made that call.

[Hookem2147 22012]

And Tumis throws the same pitch….ball.

Seriously this team would look a lot different with even half the pitching injuries.   It makes you wonder if there's a systematic issue or if it's just bum luck.   I do think it should affect how Pierce is evaluated, good or bad.

[NorthLoop 14462]

Really? The aggy war hymn?

[texastroubadour 1260]

That fan is confused 

[Levi 2663]

Half the time we’re scared to challenge the hitter when it’s a favorable count. 

[ClubWhatever 12283]

About time

[Horny Bull 2766]

6-4 Tech after 5.

It seems like this goes back 20 years. Maybe it’s recency bias but I swear damn near every season since 9/11 we’ve had a pitcher with some arm issue. 
 

So I guess the terrorist won. 

[BillyGoatHill 4420]

What a great catch!

[Hookem2147 22012]

We lead the country in 

-warning track outs

-infield hits allows

-AB’s that start 0-2 and end in walks

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Bozo the Clown on. 

[UnhappilyMarried 842]

Does it get more gen z than Trendan vs Kimble?
