March 23, 20241 yr Rather interesting HR trot there. Caught about half of yesterday's game, did I miss any spiciness?

March 23, 20241 yr brought the bats so far today. looks like we are gonna need them. Edited March 23, 20241 yr by dcar00
March 23, 20241 yr Gotta hand it to Ace. He looked way off at the beginning of the year, we speculated he was hurt, and he didn't really pitch much thereafter. Then, he gets inserted basically as an innings burner against Tech and pitches insanely well. Repeat that type of performance a couple times, and now he's the Saturday guy. The movement on his pitches and his command has been great, overall. Just needs to keep the ball down. Edited March 23, 20241 yr by MuellerHorn

No idea on the specifics but it is apparently something that can be fixed in the offseason. Edited March 23, 20241 yr by Hookem2147
March 23, 20241 yr There has to be a better option in the #2 spot. Just stick Kennedy in the 9 hole and let it be for now.
March 23, 20241 yr Team HR celebration switched back to last year's. Double digit win streak incoming
March 23, 20241 yr Just now, texastroubadour said: Coach Mitch is one large human Great coach, but is stuck at one of the biggest rebuilds in P5 baseball. Zero NIL. Lost their best hitter from last year to the portal. Steve Rodriguez basically ran that thing into the ground before he was fired.
March 23, 20241 yr that was big to give up only one in the first. good job Ace. now Greg Maddux this thing to the 7th for us.
March 23, 20241 yr Just now, texastroubadour said: Good lord Ace I shouldn't have complimented him mid-game. Real baseball faux pas on my part.

March 23, 20241 yr Just now, texastroubadour said: Galvan got in place to apply the tag at the very last second! I wonder how many base runners slow up their stride just a smidge when they see the catcher disengaged like Galvan was. I know he does that intentionally to lull the runner into a false sense of security.
March 23, 20241 yr Ace ain’t fooling anyone. He is close to the end.I’d rather let him put the ball in play instead of walking everybody like the rest of the starters and bullpen.

You say that now but they are not just putting the ball in play, they are putting the ball in play with authority. Pitching to contact doesn’t work so well when the contact is in the gaps.
March 23, 20241 yr I honestly can’t remember a single play at the plate on a ball to left field that didn’t go our way in the last 2 years.

March 23, 20241 yr You say that now but they are not just putting the ball in play, they are putting the ball in play with authority. Pitching to contact doesn’t work so well when the contact is in the gaps.If it was all in the gaps they’d be up 10 runs. You give up an occassional gapper to get the rest. Or we could walk everybody and hit a gapper as well.
