Just throw fucking strikes, if they hit it they hit it.

I used to think that, but one of the last games I was watching, we actually started throwing strikes and they hit it….they hit it hard. 
Would you rather get bludgeoned in a boxing match or trip over your own shoelaces and give yourself a concussion on the canvas??  That’s basically our choices and I’ve chosen to stop watching these assholes.

Didn’t he also hire Charlie Strong? And Shaka?

Tech takes game 1 from WVU

So in spite of the loss our conference championship hopes improved?

Just like pitchers can make mistakes so can hitters.  If they bomb us out of the park at least they are earning it.  Bouncing the ball 2/3 of the way to the catcher, hitting batters, past balls.  They are just stupid fucking mental breakdowns not expected of someone in a longhorn jersey.  Especially not in multiple games by the same pitchers and seems like that shit has gotten contagious.  It has cost us games and series.  I don't understand how this is tolerable and allowed to continue.  But I am old so get off my lawn.

There’s probably still hope. I’d bet the big 12 gets one host. And whoever that is won’t be a slam dunk.

O’Dowd has looked a lot better the last few weeks. Better at bats, looks more comfortable. Seems to be liking the new stance.

Depending on how LBJ finishes does he become your #1?

Or rather what does he need to do to become the #1 starter?

You think he’s back next year?

Too late in the year to be messing with that stuff i my opinion. He is a great option for game 2 in postseason play which is all you can ask for.

Just (re)tuned in. Is this their usual #1 starter?

Yes. He’s pretty good too. Anything sub 4.00 ERA wise in the mountain west is good. Surprised we hit him around like that.

Just get as many decent innings as possible.

This guy has started 11 games this year. Must have pitched his way out of the rotation 

You’ve got Tole, Burke, Ace, Minchey, and the skinny ginger kid in the pen, you decide to roll Morehouse out there in game one?  Doesn’t take a mensa to know that insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.  

Niiice!  17 runs should be enough cushion for our bullpen.

Hell yes EK!   Almost to 10 run relax level....

Edited by HuntinHorn

Funny. Y’all are a little inflexible.

It probably wouldn’t line up that way. But if we get a 2 seed and play a heavy righty lineup, then LBJ might be the guy in a game 1.

I’ve been arguing for structure for some time, but LBJ and Gordon don’t seem concerned with the uncertainty.

I think LBJ just needed to know that he’s a starter.

Using Morehouse wasn’t the issue. He was good for 2 innings. It was not having someone hot and ready to go as he walked the 9 hole to open the 8th.

O’Hara looks to be a better fielder than Daly. Certainly looks quicker with a stronger arm.

Probably. But he’s been pretty solid all season. A few bumpy innings here and there but now on fire.

You have to walk that guy in that situation though. Can't risk him slugging a 500-ft bomb and changing the momentum.

The glove will never be a question with him. It’s really, really good. He just needs to get to the point where he can hit like .240 to justify sticking him in the 9 spot.

 laughably terrible hitters throughout the lineup

What?  We have 8 guys drawing 83% of our at bats, and 6 of them are hitting 0.313 or better.

Bad take.

Never seen a team that lets off the gas pedal like this one. Once we hit our 6-10 run quota that’s it.

I don’t know who the answer is at SS for the rest of the season but I know offensively it ain’t Cade O’Hara

We really don’t have an offensive answer and that’s the problem.

True, but at the same time I don't know how many teams are rolling out line ups with solid hitters in the 8 and 9 holes.
