If we have a pitching coach worth a damn, this next pitch is going to be right under the hands again.

Well I guess he’s worth a damn

Should have just fielded the damn ball. Was an easy play either way he just didn’t make it

Made it harder imo but yeah shouldn’t had been an error.

0-8 ... bitch.

Good stuff.

[Hookem2147 21281]

Come on, Max. One more batter.

[BachelorTrek 2976]

Here comes the micro-sized strike zone.

[chase25 2048]

Now we are getting squeezed

[BachelorTrek 2976]

The first strike was identical to the pitch before it that was called a ball.

[chase25 2048]

I like Max

[zlavydra 2121]

That's some pretty solid pitching from Grubbs.

[Had Enough 2081]

We lost to A&M Corpus Christi 4 days ago. We no longer have the luxury of resting guys to try to get them through mini slumps.

Powell was part of that so obviously not a cure all. He had 1 hit in a game we scored 21 runs. So both those events indicate we’ll be ok without him for 1 game.

You need depth. Borba is a scholarship guy too. Very little downside to giving him a day off. Even if we lose because of his replacement, there’s upside for the remainder of the season.

Somebody from the bullpen is going to have grow a pair

Duplantier is ready 

[hobbes2702 13033]

Oh this cunt in to pitch. 

[zlavydra 2121]

Here comes mega-douche Neighbors

[hobbes2702 13033]

Not even close to a swing. 

Edited March 30 by hobbes2702

[chase25 2048]

I try and get 1 more out of Grubbs, then Duplantier in the 8th and Gage in the 9th

[Bevo&Pevo 5146]

Meanwhile in Norman, Cardinals 5-1 over blo u in T of the 6th.  Dirtburglars in danger of being swept. 

[jimmyjazz 45952]

6.75 ERA certainly commands some doucheiness.

[texastroubadour 1210]

These hack announcers make me laugh and make me sick

[hobbes2702 13033]

Dammit Max. Gotta hit the fastball

[texastroubadour 1210]

Too low ump

[texastroubadour 1210]

The most dominant pitcher in baseball…

I bet he could throw a baseball over them mountains.

[ClubWhatever 12144]

Lummus is a choice.  Hmm.

[chase25 2048]

Did not expect Lummus.

[Bevo&Pevo 5146]

[chase25 2048]

Well given the fact that Andre and Grant are up in the pen I guess that means no Gage today

[Hookem2147 21281]

Never doubted Lummus!

[BachelorTrek 2976]

Fontenot to pitch now, TV says.

Unless they are saving him for the 8th or 9th.

But you are probably right. Feels like Dre will get any save chance.

[Mo Horn 8841]

Throwing BP

Don' forget about Dre!  Lulz.

[texastroubadour 1210]

He’s the pitcher whisperer…

[ClubWhatever 12144]

This has not worked out so well

[chase25 2048]

Pierce has a real knack for this

[texastroubadour 1210]

Good Lord Jesus. Should’ve left Max stay in. 

[Valmy77 13226]

Here we go again...

[zlavydra 2121]

Fontenot is afraid to throw strikes because strikes = BP.

[hobbes2702 13033]

Putting in Dre with the bases loaded is quite a choice 

[chase25 2048]

Really hope this ends well but I do not have a good feeling. Zero reason Grubbs should have been pulled

I dunno about that. He was starting to get figured out a bit. 
Bringing in Boehm is the right call here.

Agree completely. This feeling is based on experience

Pierce wanted everyone to know he’s the pitching coach.

 

[Hookem2147 21281]

Hindsight is 20/20 but you could have let Lummus face the righty with 2 outs knowing there are two lefties behind him.

[WBT 20572]

He's going to bring in Dre with the bases loaded, isn't he?  What could go wrong?

I’m unsure why

It was a lot of soft looping contact. The run that scored reached because Dee booted a ground ball. He was at 88 pitches. Pierce just couldn’t sit back and let a good thing be

He gave up two line drives to right on his out pitch. They were figuring out the slider away
