And the fact that those three teams are in baseball America’s top four teams right now. It looks improved for sure. South Carolina’s first loss of the season too.
March 13, 20214 yr Nice quality win tonight. Got some nice timely hits, made some bunts, stole some bases, threw out a guy(nice!), and Madden struggled a bit but fought through it. Check out this vid of Madden’s fastball and slider overlay. It’s pretty dirty.
March 13, 20214 yr Going to need to score more than 4 tomorrow. How about this line up: 1) Kennedy 2) Hodo 3) Faltine 4) Zubia 5) Williams 6) Antico 7) Ardoin 8 DH (Petrinsky or Melendez) 9) Daly

That being said, it was fun beating a good team.

March 13, 20214 yr Fun game to watch. Good atmosphere at the Disch, especially considering the limited attendance.

Kinda seems like this is Pierces deal. We started like 14-11 in 2017 and like 11-9 or some shit in 2018 then got hot down the stretch. With our middle infield and Silas behind the plate along with having a, so far, solid bullpen, I don’t see us pulling a 2019 when we were making like 8 errors a game and finding a billion different ways to lose. I haven’t paid much attention to the other big 12 teams, but just looking at scores, it seems a bit down this year. Keep improving and let’s win the fucking conference
March 13, 20214 yr I think the first 3 games of the season can be thrown out when evaluating the team. We played 3 top 10 teams. We hadn't practiced in a week and in some cases players had put up with some tough situations. None of the 3 teams we played with dealt with any of that. They all had a full week of practice.

Yeah those were basically spring training games for us and I’m glad we got the reps rather than just having regular practice with a scrimmage thrown in.

We also have a pretty young roster, so I imagine the intimidation factor was pretty huge.
March 13, 20214 yr Yeah even with 30 year old zubia, Todd and DJ, we’re still pretty young. Faltine, Silas, Hodo and Daly are showing flashes of the game slowing down for em. The pitching staff is pretty much half veteran then half freshman. Gonna be fun watching these guys develop. Faltine looks like he’s ready to break out. Get Kennedy going and we’re gonna be salty down the stretch. Especially with how good Antico has looked so far

March 13, 20214 yr I see a lot of reason to be optimistic. We look to have solid starting pitching and a deep bullpen. Our defense looks outstanding, especially if Zubia can ever learn to pick the short hop. As usual we have anemic bats, but some of the guys look like they might be starting to figure it out. Our baserunning hasn't looked all that great so far, but we have some speed and the ability to steal bases. I'm solidly on the bandwagon until I get shoved off.

We got a pretty salty squad and our pitching and defense is gonna keep us competitive. Awesome seeing DJ get a hit pinch hitting late in the game. He can be like this years version of Jacob Felts in 2014

Arm slot is the same, it looks the same to the hitter until it's halfway there, good difference in speed and a lot of break on the slider. God damn.
March 13, 20214 yr Right, but that's really impressive even for a top prospect. He just turned 21. He could be in the show by 23. Edited March 13, 20214 yr by TexArcher

Pitching against Houston last week, he threw a complete game and was still consistently touching the mid-high 90’s going into to the 9th (over 100 pitches). That’s fucking insane.
March 13, 20214 yr Just now, Fletch said: Wind is blowing out like a mother fucker That most benefits teams that don’t strike out 12 times a game.
March 13, 20214 yr If you are video challenged, Nathan Thornhill is doing color on the radio broadcast today. No Craig though... Edited March 13, 20214 yr by petscii
March 13, 20214 yr Oof. Lead off guy pulled a Zubia on a bad 1-2 pitch, then grounded out. Good to see other teams miss pitches as well
March 13, 20214 yr Weak pop up and two bad whiffs. Antico didn't come close to hitting a 90 mph fastball right down the middle. Faltine should be hitting third. Edited March 13, 20214 yr by zlavydra
