April 21, 20223 yr I really don't mind the change. If Nixon doesn't get right, we're fucked for the season anyways.

April 21, 20223 yr Just now, Cousin Strawberry said: How the fuck do you get to Texas without knowing how to throw 3 pitches? Let me re-frame that question - How do you extend an offer to a guy who can’t throw 3 pitches when you’re a HC at The University of Texas?

April 21, 20223 yr Author Good news: we've scored 2 runs in the last 6 innings against very tough pitching.

April 21, 20223 yr Just now, Cousin Strawberry said: Why the fuck did we throw a hittable pitch on 0-2? we have done that shit ALL FUCKING GAME.... 2 maybe 3 HR's were on 0-2 pitch. and holy fuck
April 21, 20223 yr A disciplined team makes us looks so stupid. They have more heart and guts than us x1000

April 21, 20223 yr Wrong thread for this discussion, but if you look at the young arms we have on staff (sans Witt), the next couple of years are looking pretty grim. An overhaul is going to be needed or Pierce go bye-bye. There's no budding Madden or Hansen. Gordon is improving but he's not enough.

People said the same thing after 2018 and then Bryce Elder came out of nowhere to be the Friday night starter and be really damn good 2 years in a row. Pitchers are on different developmental timelines. We have a few guys with promising stuff that just need another offseason.
April 21, 20223 yr Air Force has 24 runs in 2 games in Austin. Unbelievable just unbelievable that our pitching has deteriorated to this level

Gordon is fine, but if he's your Friday starter, that's a bad sign.
April 21, 20223 yr how many fucking times do we try to bunt on the first pitch and let it go by for a strike.... seems to happen a LOT.

And a like .650 OPS on the season. I would've liked to see a pitchout after we went up 0-1. But we didn't... and frankly the bunt was so well placed I'm not sure we had a play even if we had sold out for it.

I wouldn't trust Nixon not to throw it to the backstop anyway.
