Washington @ Texas Series Thread

If Max wanted to walk, he should've taken the 2-1 pitch

[Hookem2147 20970]

Better version of David Shaw here 

[BrazilHorn 6580]

Milagro!!! O’Dowd with a double!!

[zlavydra 2119]

Nice AB for O'Dowd. No sarcasm.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3240]

It is tough when you have to play top 25 ranked programs from major conferences every weekend...

whats that...

Washington isnt in the top 50?

Washington has a losing record this year?

Hmm, maybe we suck

Swung at ball 7 and watched strike 3

Well, it was a FB on the inside half of the plate.  He wasn't going to hit it anyway.

[zlavydra 2119]

Thomas had 3 miserable ABs today 

[texastroubadour 1208]

Miserable. Fucking miserable. 

[BrazilHorn 6580]

Feel for Whitehead. Has to be damn near best pitching performance of his Texas career and just zero support for him at the plate.

This. If it was just that our pitching was shit, that would be understandable. But we should be able to put up 6 runs on fucking Washington. 

[ClubWhatever 12105]

I didn't look at who they've played but their staff ERA is more than a run less than ours.  

[Hookem2147 20970]

Whitehead isn’t even 100%. Not sure the exact injury but it’s one of those where he can pitch through it and get it taken care of in the offseason.

[zlavydra 2119]

They've only given up more than 5 runs twice. To Long Beach and Santa Clara.

[BrazilHorn 6580]

Alright!! Galvan double to start off 9th. 
what exactly is Galvan’s reason for not playing catcher any more?

Texas should be on that list. That isnt exactly esteemed company.

Schuessler blown away by an 84-mph fastball

[Horn80 6110]

Need a bomb.

[texastroubadour 1208]

Unclutchiest team imaginable 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3240]

LOL, pinch hitting Beylou and keeping Borba. Dumb 

[Hondo 682]

"Jack O'Dowd is the last chance for Texas here."

[Horn80 6110]

Embarrassing 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3240]

LOL, just fire Pierce. Fucking pathetic. 

[zlavydra 2119]

Borba ripped the ball right where the SS happened to be positioned. 

[Js1 85162]

Pierce gotta go. This is embarrassing now

Words you never want to hear

[ClubWhatever 12105]

UW also has a much better fielding percentage than us.   The fact of the matter is, they are probably an all around better club.  Which is sad.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4759]

Tomorrow will be a great day to work in the yard.

[bschoolprof 6246]

I don't think Pierce is gonna be pulling any rabbits out of a hat this year.  We are ass.  Across the board.

They’ve turned the most double plays in the country and our guys couldn’t turn either of the two I watched last night. They are a much better, more sound baseball club.

So fire Pierce, interim HC is who? Tulo? Come on CDC do your thing...

[HuntinHorn 975]

Disappointing as hell.....

27 innings to pitch in the next 4 days. What could go wrong?

Texas has no other pitching coaches, Pierce has cleared any other voices from the program.

Thank goodness, we can rely on a guy that is so good, he's not even an on field coach.

Okay smartass. You keep repeating over and over there are no other pitching voices in the program. Sorry for pointing out that isn’t true.

[jw4381 3068]

Phillip Miller, Steve Rodriguez, and Caleb Longley are the assistant coaches. Tulo is on staff as Director of Player Development. Fuck it, put one of them in charge. This season is fucked anyway.

Then go steal somebody good.

Did that UW pitcher throw anything but fastballs?  His delivery must hide the ball because he was getting it by our hitters.

Ace is a gutsy MFer. Doesnt have his best stuff right now and still goes out there and buries pitches low in the zone and challenges opposing hitters. 

[Herpa Derpa 6118]

Big ups to Boogie.  So when again is the Spring game?

2/3 of the programs that matter need a new direction. About to learn the length of the CDC fuse. I hope its not very long.

[D3zii 3672]

Pierce shouldn’t be fired imo but the pitching coach definitely should be 

 

[ClubWhatever 12105]

I don't believe we are less talented than Washington but we just aren't as good.  Approach at plate, on mound, crispness in the field.  Just don't look well drilled.  Some of it can probably be blamed on youth and lack of leadership.  The upperclassmen are not exactly alphas.

[dcar00 14065]

we are ass...Pierce won't last long in the SEC.  He's lucky the Big 12 appears to be ass all over this year.

[Hookem2147 20970]

There will be plenty of time remaining in this season to crack jokes and bitch about the pitching coach.

In our last 4 losses we have scored 2 runs, 2 runs, 3 runs and 3 runs.

We will probably lead this sorry conference in ERA again for the 4th straight year because other staffs appear to be ass as well. We talk about SEC arms, how about we learn to hit the type of pitching we've seen the last two nights? 89-92 with some life and good command, because if we can't solve that simple riddle it won't matter what else happens.
