Moreland said on the radio that LBJ warmed up with the relievers today before the game and could be available out of the bullpen. Threw 43 pitches Thursday.

Standing room only was all they had for sale. Let's take the series. 

Great pic! 

I'm not convinced that it's not chickenshit-state intentionally not selling reserved-seats to Texas fans since this is the last time we will ever be there.  It's number Million-and-one reason why we're happy to be rid of this Bullshit conference forever.

SRO in a stadium in the middle of NOWHERE in cornland state?  Good for you, because I couldn't do it.  Lulz.

I’m about ready to play someone else at 1st just to get Porter out of the lineup. Give Borba more looks or something.

As long as his OPS is over .800, it would be hard to remove him from the line up

To be fair the seats are all full.

I remember this guy pitching pretty well last year in the Friday game .

Sweater would look better in a crumpled mess on the bedroom floor.

Even I didn't see what I did there.  LOL.

Missed opportunity, sure hope it don't come back to haunt us later.

Grubbs tiene cajones grandes. 

[hobbes2702 13029]

Well done Grubbs 

[zlavydra 2119]

Great conversation about whether Texas would play a non-conference series in fucking Manhattan.

Way to stand there, Porter...

[hobbes2702 13029]

What are you looking at Porter

[texastroubadour 1210]

Oh Porter

[hobbes2702 13029]

Galvan swings at one 6” inside and grounds out

This pitcher has horrible throwing mechanics. How do you get to this level and still throw the ball like that

[jimmyjazz 45888]

Can somebody explain to me exactly what Porter Brown does here?

[Mo Horn 8829]

Ugly AB for Thomas

[hobbes2702 13029]

Good god JT.

[chase25 2048]

Kid has a really good change up

It’s effective. Lefty batters probably feel the ball is coming from the dugout with the arm slot and deception he has.

I’m not saying it’s not, but gotta think with better mechanics he would add several in velo. That weird shit he’s doing with his wrist also can’t be great for the elbow 

[ClubWhatever 12120]

Nice

[chase25 2048]

Grubbs pitching well, 2 bunt singles going to make the box score look worse but doing a good job using both sides of the plate

[chase25 2048]

This kid is going to be hard to hit if he is going to get that outside strike all day long.

We wore him down last year by being patient. Don't know if that will work if he gets all the borderline calls.

[hobbes2702 13029]

There you go Shots

[chase25 2048]

Big swings by Jalin and Kimble, righties are going to have to eat today.

[zlavydra 2119]

Kimble puts us on the board with a gapper. 2-0

A ton of seats in the TV camera view on the left behind the plate are empty.  Where'd they all go?

[texastroubadour 1210]

The announcer said Schuessler “was fooled on the pitch,” as he doubled. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

Schu gets 2 across the plate for an early lead.

[zlavydra 2119]

3 HBP, 3 walks for the Dutchman so far

Mouthbreather homer-announcers always go silent for plays like that.  They could call the game straight, but they choose not to.

Texas hits a double that scores runs....... silence.  "Oh, here come in some runs for...... Texas."

Awful AB by Porter

Zeke will get a bit homer on close reviews but it’s truly amazing how much more even our guys are. Then again Zonk has been doing it for decades and both know more about baseball than just about anyone on the planet

Worse result, but better AB than the first one. At least he hit the ball square.  Worse-hit balls have found holes so far in this series.

[chase25 2048]

Sometimes I miss when we had a head man that would

”If I tell you to fucking take, you take, don’t tell me you didn’t see it, you fucking look”

Ok I know he walks, but at least against lefties we need someone else.

[zlavydra 2119]

He might need to sit against lefties.  I don't think Farmer or Borba would have worse AB's.

Personally I wouldn’t mind Tommy Farmer eating into his ABs with lefties on the mound but I doubt that happens

If he was better defensively it wouldn’t be as bad. He seems to get some really good OF assists every year but has too many boneheaded plays, especially near the wall.

“Ryan Galvan”. He had 5 fucking hit’s yesterday. You could at least get his name right 

[zlavydra 2119]

K State announcer conflates the Black guys...

[texastroubadour 1210]

Alright. Let’s do something here. Stretch a lead. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5120]

This would be a nice time for JT to cash in some runs.
