[Machinator 32102]

Ellis strikes out. Didn't see the ball well today.

[Mo Horn 8933]

They're right, Duke swinging out of control.

Not a good day for Ellis.... swung at a lot of pitches out of the zone today

[Machinator 32102]

Kennedy walks.

Todd to the plate.

Great AB for Kennedy.  Nice plate discipline drawing the walk.....

[TwiceHorn 31996]

Well, Zach.

[Mo Horn 8933]

Todd totally fooled

[Machinator 32102]

Oh man.

[LTtxfan 49912]

Reynolds has been impatient at plate too.  If he gets AB, take a pitch please

[TwiceHorn 31996]

Nice AB, Zach.

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Bases loaded. Now would be an opportune time for a HR. /captain obvious

[Mo Horn 8933]

How many times did Shane have this chance last year and totally failed. So far this year he's been much more clutch. 

[UTEX_ME 4257]

Ryan's due

[MirrOlure 15198]

What is that fat fuck chewing on???

[TwiceHorn 31996]

Welp.

[Mo Horn 8933]

 fuck

[UTEX_ME 4257]

1 hit. This team is hot and cold. 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

harmless pop fly to end it

[Machinator 32102]

Reynolds pops out to left field.

TTU 3, Texas 0

Yup, you're right. Shane is his dad. My bad. 

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Welp. See y’all tomorrow.

[LTtxfan 49912]

Tough loss for Horns when Blair pitched so well.... let's win tomorrow 🤘

Plastic straw ... he’d be a felon in California. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Henley deserves so much better than what he’s gotten in his last 2 starts.

Yes, take the series.

During the game today, I saw some players come in from the field and write something on a white chalkboard....what's with this?

They grade themselves on every AB (I have seen this and seen it commented upon).  Apparently they do it on defense, too.  Zubia gave himself an A yesterday after a pretty good AB ending with a sac fly.  I noticed an undeserved number of As all over the board, as to that point there hadn't been a whole lot of A at-bats.

We've been doing this a while, but I don't recall if it started with Pierce.

Thanks.  Interesting.  Hope it helps.

My girl saw them doing this and was also curious.  I saw this and read it to her.  She said she's going to get a whiteboard for my bedroom so we can grade our performances.  Except an F would be a good grade.  D's and C's would be OK and a grade of an O would be the best

[Llano Estacado 1257]

To be clear - during one of the earlier season midweek games Swindell explained it isn’t the AB grade, but how well they “see the ball”.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Todd and Kennedy switched spots in the lineup.

[Machinator 32102]

[Machinator 32102]

First pitch is fouled off.

Leadoff single for Tech.

[Machinator 32102]

Holt picked off.

[Machinator 32102]

Two-out walk.

[Horny Bull 2766]

We walk too many people. 

[Machinator 32102]

Another walk. Runners on first and second.

[TonyTexas 10685]

Love these unis

That 2-2 was a strike, batter/P/C all knew it and the ump froze. Fucking Blue!

[Machinator 32102]

Cobb gets the strikeout to end the inning. 32 pitches.

0-0 M1

McCann had to reach across the zone to catch it. If he sets up there, I bet Cobb gets the call.

[NeverMarryAStripper 22247]

I like these much better than the sleeveless pinstripes they’ve had before

[Machinator 32102]

6-pitch inning for Tech.

0-0 after 1

[Goodman 3280]

JFC Blue, this fucking umpire thinks he's in the bigs.

[Machinator 32102]

Another leadoff single for Tech. Just stays fair past first, Tate dives for it, makes the backhand flip to Cobb but Coy can't handle it.

Next batter doubles, baserunner waved home and tagged out. Great relay.
