It’s crazy to me that DDA didn’t grow up here and didn’t even go to school here.  Just some guy who decided to spend his disposable income and root for us.  

You seem like a good guy, DDA. Welcome to Surly.

This team hits.

Purdue isn't very good, but the offensive output by Texas is still impressive.

We'll see how they hit the pitchers for LSU and Stanford in a few weeks.

True, but not long ago we would be scoring only  4 or 5 runs against crap pitching.

Not doubt. I'm going to love watching the development of these freshman.

Diaz better get these curveballs down in the zone for next weekend 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

Good win ... which LHN immediately taints with Shaka Shit Show programming.  

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Ok let’s get this win and take the series. Then we can tinker tomorrow if Pearce wants to. 

[petscii 1189]

So was everyone too hungover to do the 1st game radio broadcast over the internet?

 

 

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Nice 3-6-1 

[Lat22 4012]

Caston Peter was my stepson’s batterymate at Stratford last year. Great kid. Really fun seeing him playing for the Horns. 

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Purdue starter has a pretty snappy curve 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Cobb is attacking the zone. Improvement from his first start. 

[TexArcher 37774]

Come on, bats.  I won't get greedy and ask for another 7-spot.  I'll take a 4.

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Todd’s walk up music is hall and Oates?

Jesus zubia, take the bat off ur shoulder

Geez, again!

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Calm down bro lol

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

If you’re gonna sit curve, then hit one of the ones he dropped in that you took for strike 1 and fouled off for strike 2. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

Zubia is outthinking himself. 

[Enfield 109]

Safe or not at first?

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Out

[GreenspointTexas 9600]

Score/inning plz?

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

0-0 T6

[texasstrong12 4668]

There can't be many teams with better young arms than we have.

85 pitches thru 6 for Cobb. Should have another inning in him. 

[spystud13 2371]

That was a shit-ass balk call, but we’ll take it.

How about the 1 hitter these PU guys are throwing?

Baseball. We're averaging 7.6 runs a game coming into this game so hitting should be fine.

Let’s get a W for Cobb. 

As of right now, the two best starts of he year are no decisions. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

The other problem with the bats in this game is Pierce is trying to get everyone playing time/keep everyone fresh. No Reagan, McCann or Petrinsky.

Not sure our lineup is good enough yet where you can keep several good hitters out of the lineup like Petrinsky and Reagan. There's also a pretty big drop off from McCann and Petter but I understand giving the catcher a breather during a double header. 

Edited February 24, 2019 by texasstrong12

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Here we go with the random relievers. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

McCann and then the top of the order. Both Petrinsky and McCann are in the game now. 

This is the inning to get something with McCann and then the top of the order up. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Lead off walk. Gotta think Ellis lays down a bunt here. 

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Why square late on a sacrifice?

[texasstrong12 4668]

Tough to bunt on this guy because he's so wild. 

[Machinator 32099]

DDA in midseason form.

Yeah he is 

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Walk off or loss now

[texasstrong12 4668]

2, 3, 4 hitters up for Purdue in the top of the 9th.

[Enfield 109]

Missing Hamilton 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Been a rough start to the year for Hibbeler. 

[UTEX_ME 4762]

welp. 

[Machinator 32099]

We're in trouble now.

[TrashMaster G 17551]

Ballgame.

[texasstrong12 4668]

2nd and 3rd with nobody out for Purdue. 

[Pato del Muerto 52489]

Very close to being borked.
