Xavier @ Texas Series

[Pato del Muerto 53352]

I’d hate to square the way these pitchers are throwing. 

[LTtxfan 49915]

Who else can catch besides McCann??

[Hook1997 5487]

Well that sucked.   Double play.

Xavier not bad team.

 

[zlavydra 2142]

Shaw hits an easy grounder ro the greatest SS of all time...

Yeah they are

[zlavydra 2142]

I wouldn't worry. Kam is available to close this out,

[zlavydra 2142]

Metallica between innings. If only that had been the case when I was at UT.

Great outing for Cobb. The defense didn't help him out.

Mason Bryant now pitching in the great bullpen adventure.

[Pato del Muerto 53352]

Hope somebody is warming. Bryant needs a short hook and he might need it. 

[Machinator 32102]

Here we go...

Really need to replace Shaw with a better hitter. Hopefully one of the young guys comes on by the end of the year, because my idea of the Peter/McCann timeshare just went out the window.

They have played us close all three games but just saw they are 9-17 so, you’re right.

[Pato del Muerto 53352]

And no more DP

[LTtxfan 49915]

Quit hitting ground balls to Xavier shortstop....

DAMN IT!!

[GreenspointTexas 9933]

Goddamn, are we trying to blow this game?

[dcar00 14908]

JFC..our Bullpen is a complete disaster.

[zlavydra 2142]

Bryant really taking advantage of his chance here...

[Burt Macklin 19221]

Yeesh. 

[Machinator 32102]

This has to be so deflating for our starters.

Should have left him in

[Pato del Muerto 53352]

Not much said there. Pierce raises arm as he approaches, Bryant hands him the ball and walks away.

We don't have much pitching depth on this team this year. It's gonna be piecing together relief based on match ups and who's hot pretty much all year. Madden getting healthy will help freeing up either him or Cobb for some long relief opportunities.

they are in a high leverage situation from the first pitch.  any opponent should be taking all kinds of pitches and trying to work deep counts with our starters.

lol. If Pierce left in a TR Fr who's never gone past 7 innings before and he got hit/gave up walks all the same people on the board would be killing him for that decision. Maybe the answer is there's just not a great option either way because we have poor pitching depth.

Agree.  But scoring only 4 runs so far against the crap Xavier is throwing today is pretty bad.

Not every team can score 25 on Xavier in one game like the Grand Canyon Antelopes.

[zlavydra 2142]

Hardest hit ball since Ellis lead off with that shot up the middle

I think it frees up whelan, as they seem to like Cobb on Sunday and want madden on Tuesday. 

[GreenspointTexas 9933]

We need just one more run

yep.  the hitting is a bigger problem IMO.

True. Though I'd like to see Madden move to Sundays and Cobb to Tuesdays at some point this year, but either way, getting Madden back will free up a quality arm, which we desperately need.

[GreenspointTexas 9933]

Fiuuuuuuck

[Horn80 6313]

JFC

[OU Sucks 9327]

I blame DDA for this.

[TwiceHorn 31997]

Dammit.

That Shepski kid is a grad transfer from Notre Dame.  He's pretty good.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Fucking cardiac cats of baseball.

[dcar00 14908]

why were we squeezing the middle there?

[Pato del Muerto 53352]

Yeah being good at drawing walks is nice but it takes 4 an inning to score a run.  This team doesn’t have the slugging or hitting in general to take advantage of enough of the walks. 

[Valmy77 13569]

Doing things the easy way is not allowed in this series.

[Pato del Muerto 53352]

Still on schedule for the 6-5 win

[GreenspointTexas 9933]

Just like the tech series, you know exactly what is gonna happen/what we are gonna need to win

 

xavier will get another run here

 

We win this 6-5 agIn

[jdhorn92 1590]

Here we go again. Effing brutal bullpen. 

[jdhorn92 1590]

We can’t buy an opening pitch strike. Too many behind the count At bats 

[dcar00 14908]

need to score here so CQ can end it.

Yeah, it was a joke

[VirginiaLonghorn 4878]

About time for the pumpers to come blow a little sunshine up our skirts .. 

[Pato del Muerto 53352]

Now we get 2 and they get 1. Or vice versa but hopefully it’s the former. 

[GreenspointTexas 9933]

God that airhorn is dumb

[SquishMitten 10493]

Sweet bunt, bro
