Wind blowing straight in at 15mph and we're chasing shit up in the zone.  It's a strategy.

[zlavydra 2142]

4.2 innings. Two hard- hit balls.

You're going to run up against guys who are on.   Your bullpen can't suck liquified shit on those nights

[hobbes2702 13351]

Flores either ain’t a 6 or he just isn’t very good.

[Horn80 6313]

Embarrassing 

[David Dennison 19441]

Oof.

Wut

There’s something about purple teams…..

[hobbes2702 13351]

If the baseball gods were kind they’d give us another season cancelled by a pandemic. 

[ClubWhatever 12277]

Everything from every reliever is either up or to the screen.

[Biff Tannen 46061]

I stayed home tonight and put a cabinet together with the wife. Seems that was the correct choice. 

[Navin R. Johnson 878]

We have 9 Jack O’Dowds in the lineup. Our ceiling and floor are pretty low. 

[WBT 20884]

You can't hope to get Jeter Ybarra out, you can only hope to contain him

[GreenspointTexas 9933]

Wait, this washington team is 4-7-1?

[jw4381 3241]

My dudes. Our whole baseball program has the yips. Or something.

the pitching staff just isn't very good

[hobbes2702 13351]

I still maintain we cursed ourselves when we changed dugouts during the renovation. Zero titles since moving to 1st.

5-7-1

[hobbes2702 13351]

Jack O’Dowd to lead us off to start the comeback. Lulz.

[Cousin Strawberry 1273]

This bullpen is really solid.

 

[texastroubadour 1252]

The winning tradition of The University of Texas will not …never mind. What a waste

[Horny Bull 2766]

9-3 final 

[Horn80 6313]

What a stinker game.

Yea I too looked it up about 2 hours ago. Burned through a bunch of pitchers on a Friday for a 4, errrr, 5 win team. Again, on a MFing Friday

Great coaching there pierce.

[DeadArmadillo 907]

Sideways for attention, long ways for results

I don't think these guys are gonna need any help losing from dugout curses. 

[closetojumping 65246]

No one associated to baseball with clear eyes thinks Pierce has been dealing with a shit hand in NIL. If he can’t deliver with this team, he’s out. I am not saying this season, but probably. He has everything he needs to win and be a top 5 team.  People are tired of some nonsense of a late season swing and bring the 8th team in.  Scrapers go elsewhere. Texas should be playing for titles and causing its shadow to strike fear. Pierce could crush it at Rice, though, man. Otherwise, this fucking mediocrity needs to go. 

[Beau Vine 55824]

This is so pathetic that I don't even feel like gloating.

'76 grad. Went to last 2 years at Clark Field. When Disch opened, we sat on 1st base side with the Wild Bunch, mainly rowdy law school students. The opponent harrassment from those guys was epic. The other team would throw spit cups back up in the stands, that sort of thing. Good old days.

It's the Washington I thought would show up despite the record they brought into Austin. Unreal.

Yep during early 80s, I went to many games and sat on first base side a few rows back from Wild Bunch just to hear their heckling that often got under opponents skin resulting in errors.  Priceless. The only visiting team that seemed to roll with the banter was Stanford which Texas played every season for many years and made me like them.   Those Texas teams in early 80s are probably the gold standard for Texas baseball.

That’s when I fell in love with Texas baseball. So I do agree. I think 2002 and 2005 was a near mirror image. Those Augie teams had no fear and knew they would win when the chips were down, they were downright shocked the few times they lost.

Agree.  Augie teams were so resilient and his knack for playing the right player at the right time was epic.

It’s time to get it back. I’m ready for a change. NIL era should be the golden era for Texas athletics and baseball should be the top performer.
