    Bitch-ass in-game posts like this are what make the game threads such a beating.

  • Damn good stuff from Gordon and Chris Stuart tonight. Really like what I’ve seen from some of the arms so far this year.

  • Certainly not on 2nd base. amirite?

More embarrassing? Turf field or Pierce as 3rd base coach? 

Plastic field

With the base areas in a dark brown color found nowhere else on earth

They need to stop running on this catcher. He's damn good. Every throw is perfect. 

It would not be unreasonable to have a hard limit on baserunning fuckups that results in for cause automatic dismissal of the midget

The midget?

For a team that people said needed to play more small ball we seem pretty slow.  EK has speed.  Dylan has a little.  Anyone else?

Fish on!

speed on display today is bad

understand both thrown out are delayed reactions, just dont fucking go if its not a good jump

I don't get some of these decisions made by the coaches on the base paths.

First we are sending DC on a suicide run at 2nd base in order to protect EK on a sac fly. Why? EK is really fast. He can score on a sac fly, no reason to sacrifice DC for that.

Then we are running really slow guys for no particular reason. What? We have to protect the fast but be really aggressive with the slow? I mean if you can't steal on Indiana you probably aren't going to run on many other people. And it is not even close, these guys are being thrown out by a mile and the catcher doesn't exactly have a cannon back there.

I don't get it. Maybe let the guys hit? The pitcher was throwing balls we might have turned that into something if you don't send really slow guys stealing.

Tell us how you really feel

So is it just assumed at this level that they know there ass from a hole in the ground on the base paths? I sure as shit hope so and that we aren’t actually dedicating practice time or team meeting time to the subject

And another CS at 2B. Ends the 7th.

Ya, he’s only got Texas to 3 CWS since he got hired in 2018. The slacker.

You know what they say about assume …

So we're just going to get thrown out again? Let them hit Pierce. This is embarrassing. These guys aren't base stealers.

2017*

His throws haven’t really been that good.   We’re just slow and/or not getting good jumps.  

Can our pitchers stop slowing down routine groundballs to the middle infield.

Did you want a comma in that sentence? Perhaps not.

Any Big 12 or decent college catcher would have easily thrown out those three guys by a mile. If this is a new strategy Pierce needs to rethink it. These aren't baserunning errors, this is asking players to do something they don't have the talent or skill to do. Not everybody is a base stealer. 

As far as small ball goes I get bunting people over if you have people on with nobody out but unless it is EK or some speedster up there why would you run? Let these kids hit, the more at bats we get the more we can see who can end up being a really good college hitter.

I just don't get this strategy.

Yeah lets keep testing their catcher!

Their catcher sucks shit.

But really slow base runners are going to be thrown out by anybody good enough to play College Baseball.

Dude, they haven't even lost the game yet. Save the beatings for if they end up with a losing record.

To the B8, no runs for IU. 4-2, IU. 

Eventually if you keep running on this catcher, his arm will get tired.

[Insert guy pointing at his brain meme]

3 up, 3 down for the Horns. To the 9th. 

Evening out the L/R split is probably a good thing overall, but we're going to miss out on a ton of runs with the wind out to LF

Good work by Hurley. To the B9. Horns need 2.

Yes, yes, he is. 

Hurley with a badass relief performance.

Ok Campbell, time to break out of your slump.

He started at USC and had good success.  Why is he not starting here?   It’s not like Morehouse or Stehle have a better track record.

Based on your posting here your user name seems very appropriate.  You probably my need to get laid.

Lazy pop to 2B and K looking. Down to last out. 

Pop out to 2B ends it. IU wins, 4-2.
