Pierce needs to think a bit about how he handles starters and relievers at the start of an inning. 

One might question Henley starting the 8th .. but, there was no fucking question after he walked the leadoff man on four straight pitches.

This one’s on him. 

Exactly this

[NorthLoop 14,421]

Yeah as soon as I saw them keeping Blair out there for the 2nd batter I knew we were in trouble

Like they said earlier, Pierce often goes with what he thinks is a hot hand.  But that four-pitch walk should have disabused him of that idea mas pronto.

And not having someone up and ready is beyond dumb and inexcusable.  That isn't a judgment call.

Yes. Henley should have walked out there knowing that one baserunner and he’s done. 

Pearce seemed to just assume that Henley would get 3 quick outs without question. 

[GreenspointTexas 9,933]

Crazy how rattled we’ve become after a leadoff walk

 I'm ok with Blair coming out to start the inning because he's throwing a gem, but Cole has to be ready and he obviously wasn't. 

[Machinator 32,102]

Cole Q strikes out the last batter.

3-0 M8

[TwiceHorn 31,987]

Well, cmon fuckers, let's do the late-inning thing again.

[LTtxfan 49,909]

Q is not good at holding runners.

Tadlock just abused his inexperience twice.....

One big crooked number inning. We can do this.

[bschoolprof 6,335]

Let’s see if we can get the bats working. 

[WBT 20,884]

That was the first inning today tech got the leadoff man on base.

All six tech runs scored so far this weekend reached on walks.

[Pato del Muerto 53,331]

Tadlock smart enough not to push his luck. The lead makes he decision easier, but I’d guess this was always the move. 

[MirrOlure 15,185]

Swing at ball 4. Fuck

 

Hibler is a black hole

Twice.

[TwiceHorn 31,987]

This guy is gonna be tough.

[Mo Horn 8,933]

That was nasty

[GreenspointTexas 9,933]

Awful swing selection today

[TwiceHorn 31,987]

Fatso fucked up.

At 97mph, hard to lay off the high hard

How'd that work for him last night?

[Machinator 32,102]

That was fortunate.

Disagree. Q did exactly right by (1) not balking or (2) being suckered into a rundown between 1B and 2B. Either would have probably resulted in another TT run. 

[Machinator 32,102]

 

[GreenspointTexas 9,933]

Just think if he actually sprinted to first and didnt jog... we wouldnt be having this review

Or not.

3-0 TTU after 8

[Lat22 4,070]

I’m going to wear out the mute button on my remote during commercials.

[Machinator 32,102]

The bats aren't getting the job done today.

[TwiceHorn 31,987]

Gonna need some serious juju to get back in this one.

[WBT 20,884]

Would've been nice to clear ford and have the top of the order for the 9th

I've seen them so many times that even if I mute them I still hear it in my head.

You're just wrong.  Horns practice that play and should be able to get an out and not give up a run......

Nope ... but, TT pitching certainly has.

I’ll bet Shaka’s boyz practice, too. 

Plus, there were 2 outs. The focus is on getting the hitter.

Have the two teams combined for even three well hit fair balls today?

Hardest hit ball I recall is a foul by Ford. None fair. 

Edited March 16, 2019 by VirginiaLonghorn

[Machinator 32,102]

Two-out single for Tech.

[LTtxfan 49,909]

Q not as sharp today......

[Machinator 32,102]

Another single, runners at first and second.

[MirrOlure 15,185]

If you add our zero to Tech’s 3, yes

[GreenspointTexas 9,933]

Something tells me Tech is gonna score exactly 3 runs tomorrow as well

[Machinator 32,102]

3-0 M9

9-1-2 up

[MirrOlure 15,185]

Do you pinch hit here? Reagan?

[LTtxfan 49,909]

When Ellis doesn't get on base, this offense really struggles......

[Machinator 32,102]

Ford walks to lead off.

[TwiceHorn 31,987]

Shit.
