March 26, 20223 yr Author I mean that's just inexcusable. We really need to get our shit together. Totally handed them that game.
March 26, 20223 yr I guess on an 0-2 count against the guy hitting .176 is when you try something like that.

March 26, 20223 yr So what happened? Tech stole home. Nixon looking down the entire time and never saw him

March 26, 20223 yr Send that ump back to high school softball. Fucker would call a strike a foot off the plate if tech’s shitty catcher could rip his glove back into the zone in a reasonable time.

March 26, 20223 yr Tceh fans shooting the bird to our players and fans. It’ll be good to be rid of them soon

March 26, 20223 yr Send that ump back to high school softball. Fucker would call a strike a foot off the plate if tech’s shitty catcher could rip his glove back into the zone in a reasonable time. Can confirm he belongs in HS softball. Some of the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet. I got thrown out of my daughter’s game this week just for saying “that was horrible”. Soft ass weak ass bitches.

Jeez man I pump as much sunshine as anyone but we're now 5-4 in our last 9 and just totally blew our first conference game. Not exactly brimming with confidence that these guys are going to waltz to a conference title and Omaha.
March 26, 20223 yr Yeah, I wonder if Tadlock thought the steal of home would actually work. Might have been hoping Nixon would balk...

Not exactly Chernobyl here.

Objectively, the bullpen is unreliable and scary, and it's getting to the point where it shouldn't be. Some new bats are coming around, but some old ones are flailing.
March 26, 20223 yr Pete had 3 bad pitches the entire night while sitting down 17 straight in the process. He pitched a good game. Kinda sad we went all smooth brain there at the end.

It's funny in the South Carolina series I was watching him on the mound and thought man, someone is gonna steal a base on him because he seems not really be aware of what is going on between pitches.

Not exactly Chernobyl here. Sure. You can paint it that way. We were also winning in the bottom of the 8th and let them score 2 runs on 0 hits to beat us including a fucking stolen home base.

March 26, 20223 yr Haven’t looked the same since Witt was scratched from the UCLA game. Between the ears issue?

For the future I have this bad feeling that if it’s a close lead with Stevens and Pete, and the bullpen needs to finish the last two or three innings, it’s going to be a 50/50 chance we win or lose. There’s just not enough consistent reliable arms in the pen.

March 26, 20223 yr Author Let's keep things in perspective. That sucked major peen but no way are any of us as embarrassed as the guys on the team. Let's see how they rebound tomorrow and try and back door this thing. (And I'm catching myself as much as anyone else) Edited March 26, 20223 yr by ztejas

Not exactly brimming with confidence that these guys are going to waltz to a conference title and Omaha. the pitching staff without Witt is not Omaha good IMO. that said they have enough hitting and pitching to ham and egg it to get there potentially.

There’s just not enough consistent reliable arms in the pen. we haven't replaced Quintanilla or Witt. Quintanilla was huge for us last year. still a lot of baseball but a couple of guys are gonna really need to step up for long relief.
March 26, 20223 yr I think Nixon had a tell like that before, it'll never fucking happen again. It's fine.
March 26, 20223 yr We get a quarter of the RISP in and we have a 5 run lead, maybe more, going into the 9th.

Yep, made the comment earlier in the year when Witt first went down that we were going to feel the loss of Cole the most.
