Texas @ Stanford series

[Horny Bull 2,760]

Pierce shaking it up today.

[Assman 1,830]

Confirmed:  DP is on Surly.

 

[Machinator 32,099]

The changes may cost us the game, but I'm glad Pierce isn't waiting to try things out.

Was there a pickoff other than Peter at second yesterday? 

I'm not just talking about yesterday.

Even one pickoff is too many.

There should be maybe 4 or 5 all year.  That's it.

Missed yesterday, but the cliffs notes seem to be that Henley pitched well enough to win, and we were undone by stupid shit?

Yep. Mental errors fixed and we would have won. 

I think it’s all fixable. Maybe not this weekend but soon. I don’t see anything to be overly concerned about. Freshmen. Says it all

Poor fielding and bad base running is a trademark of playing true freshmen.

This is what happens when a coach is forced to play true freshmen in spots they’re not ready for due to critical injuries and a team lacking in depth due to poor recruiting before the coach got here. This was always supposed to be a bridge year based on the talent in the 2016 and 2017 classes. A big Part of the reason for that was lack of depth. 

If we had stayed extremely healthy, we could’ve had a big year and likely would’ve been a much, much better fielding team but unfortunately with the losses of Hamilton and Petrinsky for the season, were already way past that point.

Are those streams better than the one in the op? I lost it every 2-3 minutes last night and had to refresh. My internet seemed fine, so I hope it was just a shitty stream

Klaatu barada nikto.

“Klaatu barada nikto” is a phrase that originated in the 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still. The humanoid alien protagonist of the film, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), instructs Helen Benson (Patricia Neal) that if any harm befalls him, she must say the phrase to the robot Gort(Lockard Martin). In response Gort relents from destroying the Earth and resurrects Klaatu from death.^[1]

The Robot Hall of Fame describes the phrase as "one of the most famous commands in science fiction"^[2] and Frederick S. Clarke of Cinefantastique called it "the most famous phrase ever spoken by an extraterrestrial."

I did not know that.

[WBT 20,624]

Ho hum, Ellis works a leadoff walk

Don't remember one, but there was one at first that was damn close ... by the catcher. IMHO if you get picked off at first by a catcher, even a great one, you should just stop playing baseball.

And we had a runner on second at the time.  

[BillyGoatHill 4,312]

Ridculous at how bad we are at laying a simple bunt down......😡

[WBT 20,624]

Why did they move the camera farther from the field and around from directly behind the plate

[Horny Bull 2,760]

Horns strand a pair T1. 

[Horny Bull 2,760]

Well thanks Maverick. 

[zlavydra 2,123]

"Nice baseball play," says the announcer.  Which is serendipitous, because I thought it was a curling play.

[zlavydra 2,123]

No score after one. 

[Machinator 32,099]

Man, Peter hit that one well too.

[Horny Bull 2,760]

Caston Peter records his first hit as a Longhorn. 

[Machinator 32,099]

Good job, Caston.

[Horny Bull 2,760]

Horns strand a pair for the second straight inning. 

[Machinator 32,099]

Damn, don't see that too often with Ellis.

[Lat22 4,015]

Congrats Caston. 

[zlavydra 2,123]

Ellis looks at a good 3-2 pitch.  Then he heads back to get his glove...

[zlavydra 2,123]

We hit this guy pretty hard last year when he started the Saturday game.  Problem was that they hit Henley harder.

Fuck this team.

[TwiceHorn 31,507]

Well, we at least know that the Stanford series does not dictate the season.

[EuroHorn 3,265]

Walks, wild pitches, errors.  Not a good look. 

[HuntinHorn 986]

We suck so bad in the field

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,777]

Team unity ... they ALL implode at the same time. 🤯

[Cairn Horn88 8,275]

Umps need to stop this game...players are slipping and sliding and no footing whatsoever.  Gzzzz.

[BillyGoatHill 4,312]

Fuck! Bring out the clowns......stupid fucking error and mental also.
