Why waste a good reliever at this point? Smart decision imo

Correct, but he looked decent on Tuesday and looked decent again tonight. He might start getting some more important innings outside of blowouts.

Is Howard going to mess around and get into the circle of trust? I guess I can see why Schloss and Weiner keep giving him chances.

2 1/3 with 0 runs against this lineup? Sure, why not?

We can hang with these guys. Going to need some friendly bounces the rest of the weekend but try and steal one tomorrow and then see what happens Sunday.

Why did they make the Yeti Yard students only tonight? That's what I heard in the stands. If so, stupid.

My best guess would be to keep the LSU riff raff out.

Seems it's going to be that way for all the big series this season (for sure this one and aggy). They want the students out there and for it to be dominant UT. Less chance of confrontations per talking with staff from the yard tonight.

Very Aggy move then, if that's the case. Just charge $15 to get in and don't accept jars of old coins or nutria tails and you'd accomplish the same while not turning it into a library.

Thoughts after going to the game.  LSU just looks a little better all the way around.  They are about 2-3 years ahead of UT, which makes perfect sense.  
 

UT has a stud freshman, LSU has a better stud freshman.  UT has a good lefty Friday starter, LSU has a better lefty Friday starter and on and on.  But, UT can win if they play well.  
 

LSU’s lead off LF, Derek Curiel, is a freshman and man is he good already.  He was one of, if not the top player coming out of HS and looks every bit of it.  He stands out already.

Why not? Seems like it’s mostly chads boofing Zyns in there most games anyway

I don’t. I need to put in a few billable hours, then the wife and I are smacking some tennis balls around, then late afternoon snack and over to the game. Even first pitch is perfect.

I’m not so sure our Lefty starter isn’t better than theirs. Sure, theirs had a better statistical outing, but he was also facing our K-happy lineup (who gifts him 2 strikes almost every AB) and not their murderer’s row of .400 hitters. 

It’s one thing to work counts and get pitch counts up, but with us, we are quickly getting behind in the count and don’t really have any ability (except for Mendoza & Rodriguez) to foul off good pitches to work up the counts….like LSU and 2024 aggy could do.  
Never been a fan of this hitting approach, but can’t complain too much as we are 17-3. Hopefully we can at least go .500 the rest of the way in SEC play with a series win (if not sweep) of aggy, then host a regional and sneak into the CWS.
Schloss will have enough time this year to bring in his type of hitters that fit his approach.  In limited time, he was able to get Mendoza, so imagine our lineup with 2-3 more Mendoza-types, and another instant-impact stud freshman like A-Rod…along with whoever we return.  
I’m not worried about our future pitching staffs as long as Weiner is here.

Their hitters are extremely disciplined. They worked every count and waited for their pitch. Ours…not so much. Willy Gas especially needs to get his shit together.

I mean I’m paying for the shit, I’ll watch what I can, but not being able to record our games means I get to watch a fraction of the innings. 

I’d also like to add that last night was the first game of the Schloss era I’ve attended. Even when it was 0-0 the Disch was so quiet I could easily talk directly to the batter and ump. The crowd clearly needs help from the scoreboard/audio operator to make noise and have any impact on the game.

What do you watch through? TV mostly or computer?

It seemed really quiet on the broadcast, which was disappointing.  Not that I think LSU's players were going to panic because of a loud crowd, but it seemed pretty subdued.

We have to eliminate the free passes. Six walks and two HBP’s is not good. And then factor in multiple LSU base hits in 0-2, 1-2 counts. 

Two HBP happened on 0-2 counts. Killers.

We have a number of pitchers (especially relief ) that have no OUT pitch. Been able to get away with it somewhat up to now, but last night Tiger with their disciplined hitters , plus again HBPs exposed that weakness.

Going my to be tough from here on out.

No shit, I’m not expecting a football environment but it shouldn’t be a fucking library. We can bring some juice for our pitchers with 2 strikes and for our batters when the opposing pitcher is struggling. Or we can sit there like invalids

TV exclusively (and phone occasionally) Hulu / Disney+ / espn+ package through Google fiber. 

It gets me everything and it’s reliable but holy fuck the interface is such absolute dogshit that it genuinely makes me miss paying way too much for cable. 

Unfortunately, there’s seemingly no amount of money I can spend to make SEC+ not suck ass

So the game is at 6 tonight. I know because the parking lot attendant at the stadium just told me. 

Awesome. Pregame time. I expect you to be so blasted we can hear your antics through the tv.

I can’t believe games 2 and 3 of this series are on SEC+… god dammit I miss LHN

If you had LHN, you have sec+ access. If a dedicated channel vs a stream on espn app makes any difference whatsoever on your ability to watch the games on your tv, then I suggest you pull yourself up a decade or two.

If I stand behind the plate and get hit by the pitch in the foot, I get 1st base?

Yes, you do because his heel is touching the chalk of the batter's box, which makes him in a legal batting position.

@chase25 was kind enough to point out the on-demand feature of espn+ so I can catch these games after the fact. TBD if it gives me some or all of the LHN features we were spoiled by.

For years, my viewing method has been to record every game and start watching somewhere between the official start time and when the game is nearly over, as life allowed, then fast forward through commercials and pause as children and wife interrupt. Congrats to you if your kids are out of the house and these concerns are silly to you

Settle down, I have all of it. I just thought LHN was part of the cable package and not necessarily streaming. SEC+ games ask for a Disney login whereas SEC Network stuff asks for TV provider.

Sheesh.
