Only 87 percent of our outs so far have been strikeouts.  Not too bad.  

That number feels low

  • You choke up on the bat.  You move up in the box.  You lay down a bunt.  You (Pierce) have your batter call time to "confer" over signs.  You do NOT let a guy like Bednar (sp?) just settle in and work

    Yeah, we kinda did.  Striking out 21 times on the same fucking pitch, from two different pitchers, that's kinda embarrassing.  

  • In the heat of the moment when I told you to go choke on a dick I meant it metaphorically man. NTTAWWT.

Yall are making way too many excuses. We can’t hit a 90 mph fastball right over the plate. That has nothing to do with the ump

Eh I kinda think it is.  Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get some action but the high heat is pretty fucking compelling. 

It's not so good that we shouldn't be able to make any contact at all. We literally can't put the ball in play. Mississippi State could be playing down 7 men and our score would be the same.

There is ZERO coaching going on in the dugout, this team has their butt cheeks puckered right now

I assume Cliff would tell batters that if they swung at one of the first five pitches there would be consequences.  Teams in the 80s had amazing discipline at the plate.  They made pitchers work, wore them down, and then struck.

And we have a little league wanna be cop as an umpire 

Makes it worse for sure but the high fastball down the middle, high inside fastball isn’t traditional college power pitching.

He sucks for them too. 

hes been slighlty incosistent with them....  hes rung us up at least 4 times on a pitch that clearly was outside. 

I can only think of 1 of those with Ty's pitches

Some us talked about it and got raked for it.

It was obvious early in the season. The offensive, at the plate, coaching is seriously lacking. My hope was this was remedied as I missed watching a lot of the last half of the season and the Horns waked in with a top seed. Obviously there are some serious deficiencies being exposed.

You can't work the count if the pitcher's pounding the zone, or the ump's calling strikes off the plate

Time to tee the fuck off on this meat pitching goob.

Yeah it’s been really bad.

Lots of them. We were nails on Fridays for awhile. 

This is the same stuff as OKC. And good pitchers doesn't have much to do with it. We were sucking against OU and WV second starters.

Nails on Friday against who?  I'm seriously drawing a blank. 

But yeah, the K tendency has lurked in the shadows from jump.

I'm not sure I love warming up Pete here

You got raked because we hit .303 in the tournament coming into today, certainly wasn't the best competition

We look like SWAC hitters when they reach the regional tournament. This is garbage.

Issues were there in the post season but we played either weak comp or comp crumbled and gave us runners and runs.  Omaha is two steps up from what we played against the last two weekends.

Get fucked. Let's turn this around.

We also struck out like 40 times in OKC. 

We need to keep it within a bloop and a blast. 

Great throw and tag. Silas is the real deal behind the plate.

He didn’t throw in the supers. An inning and some bullpen would probably be good for him 

Need a classic bunt hit from Kennedy to start things off here 

Don’t worry everyone. I moved rooms now. 

Silas flashin’ the arm…let’s get some fucking runs….

Let's call it a bloop and a fly ball catching a ride. Blast seems extremely optimistic.

didn’t realize south Austin’s mom writes broadcast copy for ESPN

 

also; we are fucked

I didn’t say it wasn’t good enough to win last weekend or before. I said it wouldn’t cut it in Omaha with better pitching. That was the crux of my point.  I definitely want to get raked for it tonight, pretty please!!
