The team that has had the most success beating us this year is Texas.   If we can get that under control we can go real far.

To an extent, but 6 of our 9 losses involve us scoring 2 runs or less, so I’d say it’s more due to lack of hitting/talent in the lineup than our mistakes. No team is going to be perfect and our lack of hitting has left us with a margin of error that ranges from slim to none in most of our losses, and it’s not like we’re just loaded with hitting talent but aren’t performing.

We are horrible at bunting. They aren’t being asked to bunt all the time like they were in Augie’s time, but it’s an important time when they are asked now (1st & 2nd w/no outs) and they fail 80% of the time.  Very frustrating.

Definitely agree on that one. Too many of our guys can’t get bunts down when they need to.

Now you're messing with:

 

A son of a Bertel!

Somehow I have this feeling that bunting comprised the majority of instructed BP under Augie.

Also, FSSW+ if you're fumbling around for the channel.

Ha. With the at bats toward the last year’s, it definitely seemed like that. I will say that overall, our guys take way better ABs now, and the changing nature of the game probably leads to less emphasis on bunting form an early age, so our guys are probably worse at it coming out of HS than Augue’s players.  

Pierce definitely prioritizes power over bunting though.

[cabowabo 4514]

TCU Twins. 

[petscii 1189]

Yeah, these fuckers don't know how to bunt....

"Pierce definitely prioritizes power over bunting though."

Pretty sure you can do both.

Why isn't Craig Way doing the PBP?    I just heard him doing the PBP at the Tenn/Iowa basketball game!?

Nice start!

[Machinator 32099]

2-0 Texas

[Valmy77 13273]

That bunt put a smile on Augie's bust.

[TwiceHorn 31566]

Niiice.  Pierce certainly seems to be doing better with a young/inexperienced staff than Schloss. 

[Valmy77 13273]

Come in guys, don't leave Todd stranded.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Deadpool 2 out RBI single. 3-0.

 

[Machinator 32099]

3-0 Texas

[Valmy77 13273]

Deadpool!

[zlavydra 2123]

This  is the second game I remember Bertelson starting, and both have been against LHPs. Does pierce know something about reverse splits?

[WBT 20674]

Good start 

[Machinator 32099]

Solo shot for TCU. 3-1 Texas

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Bertleson with a good grab

[Machinator 32099]

3-1 Texas after 1

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Is there any history to that TCU logo? Google and Helmet project isn’t showing anything, aside from the below. Remember them doing some script frogs before, but don’t recall the interlocked TC. Is that a fake “throwback”?

Big run for their confidence. Hopefully we can keep the offense going.

Yep. Fake throwback, their baseball team has worn them before.

[zlavydra 2123]

Ellis well on his way to a 9 for 9 game.

 

[Machinator 32099]

3-1 Texas M2

Fake, but honestly they look good.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

4-6-3. Erases opening walk.

[Machinator 32099]

3-1 Texas after 2

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Yeah, I wasn’t hating on the TC logo at all. Just curiosity. Looks sharp.

[Machinator 32099]

Two-out walk for Reynolds.

[Machinator 32099]

What’s the signal for bunt and hit for power at the same time?

[Machinator 32099]

Runners on first and second, two outs.

[Machinator 32099]

3-1 Texas after 3

[Machinator 32099]

Great work, cameraman.

[petscii 1189]

Two more bunts....    

 

[zlavydra 2123]

we should run on this catcher all day

[Lat22 4018]

Kent Murphy would be stroking out over all of these bunts. 

[WBT 20674]

This is an Augie kind of game

[jimmyjazz 46235]

Is FSSW+ an actual channel on DirecTV?  The googlewebs say 664 but that ain't working.

I'm sure I failed to pony up for the "National SemiInteresting Sorta Sports Package" or some shit.

[jimmyjazz 46235]

Never mind, found it -- 676-1.

[Machinator 32099]

Ellis works a walk, bases loaded no outs.

[BillyGoatHill 4312]

What is that stupid logo (diamond?) on the front of the Frogs hats?

[jimmyjazz 46235]

Lulz . . . bunt for a single with the bases loaded.

[EuroHorn 3272]

Nice bunt...
