March 30, 20223 yr Dude got gifted 2 strikes but who gives a shit. We really don't deserve to win any of these games giving up double digit runs.

March 30, 20223 yr That pitch was worse than either of the two pitches that would have ended the inning before the aggy grand slam. Edited March 30, 20223 yr by OU Sucks

March 30, 20223 yr 7 minutes ago, Cousin Strawberry said: Because he pitched last year. He is acting like he has over powering stuff this this year. He is walking people or getting his shit packed. He isn’t over powering. I don't follow your logic here. Do you think he is injured or something? Why would pitching well last year mean he can't this year?

March 30, 20223 yr Did you play baseball at 5 or 6A high school? Did you play in college? What I am saying is that Nixon doesn’t have overpowering stuff. That requires him to locate. When he doesn’t locate he gets ripped because he isn’t overpowering. When he over throws he also walks people. Then the people he walks get driven in.

His slider has always been his out pitch. Last year he was painting the edges with his fastball to get ahead. He can’t do that this year. the bigger problem is we don’t have a setup guy at all and the long relief is average. Edited March 30, 20223 yr by ClubWhatever

Ok so last year he was locating really well and that was why he was good? So why can't start locating again? What happened between now and then?

On to the next series. What I mean is if we want to win we need to pitch better. College umps make shitty calls all the time and sometimes your bats are just unlucky. Both of those were true tonight and Texas still wins if we hold them to 8 runs.

March 30, 20223 yr The pitch he watched before fouling 3 off should have been strike 3. Just delayed the outcome.

Didn't realize you posted on here. Go ahead and keep your secrets. If Nixon is going to forever suck from now on then that sucks. But who is the answer then? Anybody else in there has some potential?

March 30, 20223 yr Valmy didn't play college baseball. He went AAA out of HS and hit .245. before he suffered a career ending shoulder injury. Still talks about how he would have made the show all the time down at the old Thirsty Mule saloon.

I am telling you that a closer that can’t throw 2 pitches for strikes is fucking worthless. You think Pierce is praising Nixon tonight?
March 30, 20223 yr Sooo, yes we could of done plenty different during the game but curious as to the home plate umpiring….from my vantage just down first base line, was it as bad on TV vs. being at the game? Seems as if the home plate calls were shit the whole game. [emoji2371]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 30, 20223 yr Someone should go back and find the comments after the loss in college station last year. I believe we ripped off like 12 wins in a row after that game.

March 30, 20223 yr It will be an interesting close to the season. This lineup has as much potential as any I’ve seen here. it does seem as though the arms are live enough. Who knows whether they’ll come around. If Hansen and Stevens play to their potential, then we have a shot especially if Gordon keeps it going. Better clutch hitting last Friday and probably tonight has us two more wins. Tonight in the first several innings we had five guys reach base with no outs but only scored twice (after EK already scored). Obviously better pitching tonight gets a win too. As far as tonight goes, it’s frustrating but it’s also a Tuesday game which is considerably different than a weekend series. The bullpen guys are competing for innings. Do the job or sit. We have a number of guys to compete for the 3-4 spots needed. It can be done.
March 30, 20223 yr I think if Southard throws a fastball there instead of a curve we win the game. But that's baseball.
March 30, 20223 yr That fucking pyle of shit didn’t call a high strike all night and then he wants to end the game on that? Fuck that umpire

If Nixon is going to forever suck from now on then that sucks. But who is the answer then? Anybody else in there has some potential? Anybody remember when Kelly Wunsch drilled Kieschnick in the back in Sunday's game three back in '93? Kieschnick threw is bat along the ground, caused all the actual dirt on the astroturf to blow up into a huge cloud, everybody in both dugouts moved to the upper step, it went deathly silent in the stadium. Kieschnick got to 2nd base, don't remember how, and kept berating Wunsch to the point that Gus came out of the dugout and did the "Gus Stroll" (forward leaning, hands in back pockets, tortoise slow) all the way to second to let Brooks know to calm down. Dugouts never emptied but it was a tension filled inning. Totally fun, especially for my drunk ass sitting on a school bus outside the right field wall. Wunsch was 6-6 220 or so, so I assumed he was giving Brooks back everything he was getting, but the following season at Olsen I was sitting behind his parents and I asked them what was the back-and-forth, and they told me Kelly told them, "He kept cussing at me and I kept telling him I'm wild as hell, I can't help it. Sorry!" LOL

He also stopped giving the inside half against lefties about halfway through the game.
