Gaspy with the Jimmy Jack! 4-0

He pimped that bomb immediately. Turned and looked at the dugout with contact and threw the bat low and hard. Knew he crushed it.

33-pitch first for BU's starter.

Rather interesting HR trot there. Caught about half of yesterday's game, did I miss any spiciness?

Not even watching the ball off the bat is a baller move. 

[dcar00 14210]

brought the bats so far today.

looks like we are gonna need them.

Gotta keep the ball below the belt when you are throwing 85

[Hookem2147 21283]

We got an interesting strike zone today

[MuellerHorn 4244]

Gotta hand it to Ace. He looked way off at the beginning of the year, we speculated he was hurt, and he didn't really pitch much thereafter. Then, he gets inserted basically as an innings burner against Tech and pitches insanely well. Repeat that type of performance a couple times, and now he's the Saturday guy. The movement on his pitches and his command has been great, overall. Just needs to keep the ball down.

He is playing through something that is hurting his velo. No idea on the specifics but it is apparently something that can be fixed in the offseason.

Hi!

[HuntinHorn 975]

JT got it back!

[Horny Bull 2759]

Solo shot for Thomas.

[Bevo&Pevo 5146]

JT drills one to R and outta the park.

[Hookem2147 21283]

There has to be a better option in the #2 spot. Just stick Kennedy in the 9 hole and let it be for now. 

[UnhappilyMarried 816]

Team HR celebration switched back to last year's. Double digit win streak incoming

 Coach Mitch is one large human

Great coach, but is stuck at one of the biggest rebuilds in P5 baseball. Zero NIL. Lost their best hitter from last year to the portal.
 

Steve Rodriguez basically ran that thing into the ground before he was fired.

[dcar00 14210]

that was big to give up only one in the first.  good job Ace. now Greg Maddux this thing to the 7th for us.

[texastroubadour 1210]

Good lord Ace

[David Dennison 18860]

Easy . . .

I shouldn't have complimented him mid-game. Real baseball faux pas on my part.

[HuntinHorn 975]

Throw down Porter Brown!!

Ace got out of it with just one again.

[David Dennison 18860]

Whew.

[dcar00 14210]

huge throw by Brown and nice pick and tag at the plate. 5-2

[MuellerHorn 4244]

Nails by Porter Brown. Way to help out your pitcher get out of a jam!

[AbeFroman 2177]

That was niiice

[texastroubadour 1210]

Galvan got in place to apply the tag at the very last second!

[troph 24798]

Nice bounce back.

[Hookem2147 21283]

Ace ain’t fooling anyone. He is close to the end.

[Levi 2586]

Galvin with a good fake

I wonder how many base runners slow up their stride just a smidge when they see the catcher disengaged like Galvan was. I know he does that intentionally to lull the runner into a false sense of security.  

[HuntinHorn 975]

I’d rather let him put the ball in play instead of walking everybody like the rest of the starters and bullpen.

3rd warning track fly out of the game

You say that now but they are not just putting the ball in play, they are putting the ball in play with authority.

Pitching to contact doesn’t work so well when the contact is in the gaps.

[UnhappilyMarried 816]

I honestly can’t remember a single play at the plate on a ball to left field that didn’t go our way in the last 2 years. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

5-2 Texas after 3.

I pity the poor team that employs him now, and would suggest the highest level of scrutiny on the guy that hired him

Edited March 23 by Pato del Muerto

[texastroubadour 1210]

As I said send him back out 😉

[dcar00 14210]

6-2.  nice to get that one.  keep pouring it on.

[petscii 1189]

Are they just not doing radio today?

texas.leanplayer.com is dead air.

If it was all in the gaps they’d be up 10 runs. You give up an occassional gapper to get the rest. Or we could walk everybody and hit a gapper as well.
