A good ejection is a wonderful thing. Are there any other sports where you can lay into the officials and energize the building with 0 sporting penalty?

Hell it actually makes us better because now Pierce is gone for the last two innings. 

[SizzleChest 8283]

What’s hilarious is if they reviewed it and he’s out (which he was because the ball did hit him), Pierce would be out there arguing with them about that after the review.

[GreenspointTexas 9600]

The last 3 outs will determine our season/Pierces career

[SameSame 1704]

Close this shit out and wipe all that away.

You can't invent hypotheticals to get mad at Pierce about. Plenty of other things to knock him on.

This feels like hyperbole

[SizzleChest 8283]

Cool, so now looks like Pierce will miss the first game of the OU series.  Over some bullshit.

Yeah, win the game and he still has plenty of time to get fired.

Why do you need one?    Everybody knows the ball hit him.  He is throwing a tantrum over semantics.

Well the umps didn’t know it hit him apparently. They didn’t make any call on the field. That’s ridiculous to not get a review when no call was made.

Texas wins, 2-1.

Not a hypothetical.  The dude argues EVERYTHING.

Hey Hey!!  Winner winner!

[hobbes2702 13033]

Huge game!

Blouses bitches

Get fucked frogs.

Is Abeldt celebrating? Dofgpile in CF?

[Balcones 316]

 Keep on winning series. Fuck all the haters.

[GreenspointTexas 9600]

Fuck yes. Season still alive

Is it even reviewable? 

[jimmyjazz 45911]

It's hard to believe we've won every conference series but one.  

[MuellerHorn 4230]

LBJ looked like he was crying. 

Huge monkey off his back today, for sure.

Well you were implying that this means Pierce will now keep his job. I am not so sure about that. I still think he is in major jeopardy unless he gets us into a regional and we look good. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

When it counted, our boys stepped up.  Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

No i meant we lose this series and the chances of making a regional likely nil

[DigDug 1669]

Little pitching, little defense, little screaming and cussing.  Nice little Sunday

It’s so odd how good Texas is on Saturdays and Sundays with how shitty they’ve been on Fridays and weekdays.

Was just asking. You’ve seen coaches lose their shit or try to challenge things that aren’t actually reviewable. Not often but it happens. 

[ClubWhatever 12138]

TCU hits .227 as a team in conf play and their ERA is worse than ours.  They suck.

[UnhappilyMarried 815]

Bizarro season. 1-5 on conference Fridays. 5-1 in conference series’. Nightmare non-conference performance. They certainly know how to turn it on when things are on the line, but it’s hardly enough to dig out of holes they create for themselves

Well my goodness. Glad to be wrong but stunned

[Hookem2147 21217]

We win just one of those 8 Q4 games we lost and things look very different right now. Don’t even want to think about if we won 2 or 3 of them.

We are going to need to win 18 or 19 conference games to get our RPI in respectable territory.

It's almost like they don't even try to win on Tuesdays and Fridays.

while bizarro is somewhat true, I think you are overestimating how they can turn it on when things are on the line.  This conference sucks ass which is why we are muddling our way through some of the series.

I'll take the series wins but they don't really tell us much due to the competition.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21905]

It doesn’t appear by a cursory reading of the rules that whether or not a batter ball hits a base runner is reviewable by a head coaches challenge

This Friday was an excusable loss - just got dominated by a top-tier pitcher - but most of them are head scratchers.

The conference sucking makes the non-conference underperformance even more damning. We pissed away every opportunity to build a good RPI base. Every 2-1 weekend performance vs a middling Big 12 team is immediately cancelled by the next q4 home loss. 

[zlavydra 2121]

Moved up to 70 in RPI!

I find it hard to believe a ball potentially hitting a runner doesn’t fall under “all baserunning rules”

I also did not see it in the reviewable plays allowed.
