PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUPS
TUESDAY–Texas RHP Charlie Hurley (2-0, 7.71) vs. UTA RHP Aaron Calhoun (0-3, 7.92)

Edited by Horny Bull

Calhoun was awful for OU last year and has followed that up with an abysmal season at UTA.

So only 10 Ks tonight, then? 

I know it's a Tuesday night game, and it's a poorly aging metric.....but 7.71 ERA v. 7.92 ERA?  My old weeknight beer league had better pitching lines.  

So does Pierce go and hang with Occupy LF (technically outside the stadium) or just watch in his office while pacing back and forth hoping we don't hit 9 batters?

Maybe he hopes they don't play better...

Baylor Rodriguez is in charge tonight?

I'd assume so. He will handle the in-game stuff. Not sure what the pitching will look like. I think Chris Gordon was calling the pitches after Pierce got tossed but he isn't allowed to make mound visits, etc since he isn't an on-field coach. Maybe they can get some type of waiver for him to do that tonight?

I'm sure most of the game will be mapped out beforehand with Pierce around. This guy is first out of the pen, bring in this guy if you get in this situation, etc.

Porter Brown back in at DH tonight. Galvan catching a midweek game which is a change.

Fingers crossed, but I have a pentagram already drawn and live chicken on standby.

Porter's going to have a big game.

Or at least one non- terrible AB.

Porter Brown had built up more goodwill than O'Dowd but I am quickly running out of hope. At least he is still walking at a respectable rate.

I don't know what you can do at this point other than cross your fingers. It's game 42.

I mean, Tommy Farmer, Oliver Service (looked solid when we emptied the bench against UTRGV), just give those at bats to anyone who has a chance to get better.

Mike Hardball Hardge joins Craig on the radio broadcast.  Peirce is not at the facilities, even his office at the Disch.  He was on the field earlier today coaching.  B-Rod is acting coach.

Same same

Would be cool if Charlie can really find it again. Having him able to go 3-4 innings out of the pen could be a huge asset 

His oppo power is wild. 
I guess that’s not quite oppo but honestly I dunno that I’ve seen a guy for us that can so consistently leave the park to the opposite field

Yep, he can drive it anywhere. Is he draft eligible? 

Borba at the plate right now is *chef’s kiss*

You don't remember Kyle Russell?

Nope. Should be back. Belyeu, Gasparino, Borba, Galvan, Schuessler, Kennedy should all be back.

We’ve returned much worse.

I remember arguing with an aggy on my team at the time of Russell. 

Aggy: “he hits a lot of hr but his other stats are just ok”…

He wasn’t so consistently oppo. Lots of pull hitting from him. I and others early this year talked about Max reminding us of him though. Not sure if you were in that convo

So you’re telling me our 2 best players, who are sophomores but age wise are still draft eligible?  Christ on cracker the next coach better be persuasive.

Maybe we can convince Flores to come back. I doubt it though.

I’ll maintain my stance that the increase in velocity is the main thing that is hurting him. When he is 89-91 he is at his best. 92-94 the sinker flattens out and he loses it.

I could probably have a more competitive at-bat than PB at this point.

Well…at least not yet

That was discouraging.

108.5 exit velo. Holy shit. Supposedly only 396 but that was a monster shot
