Or the wins?

Sweeping LSU on a cold weekend in Austin is the only thing keeping this team ranked.  Meanwhile everyone knows LSU starts slow.  The losses are mounting up at this point which won’t allow a host spot.

Relax. We have Bark in the Park day on Sunday. Going to be a great environment for to win series.

Todd is a good hitter.  Hibbeler is a good hitter despite his average.  Kennedy will be a good hitter.  We just don’t have enough of them right now so we get out slugged by the likes of k state.  We also have a few guys who should be trying to slap line drives the other way who, instead, fly out and strike out too much because they have big looping swings.  Those same guys also have a real hard time getting bunts down.  There’s no excuse for that.  

Horns had quite a few poor at bats last night.  Several hitters need a better approach and to see more than 1 pitch in an at bat.....

No excuses for 2 on 1 out down a run and trying to bunt for a hit with McCann on deck.. that was STUPID!!  Pierce needs to break up the consecutive left handed hitters and Reynolds in his line-up......

Yeah, I didn’t get the sac bunt to move the runner with McCann on deck. That was terrible coaching. I’m not a fan of sac bunting in general, but especially not in that spot.

FIFY

Can't really expect more than we're getting from McCann. Guy should be playing once a week. 

Someone go give Hamilton your achilles and Petrisnky your shoulder.

That being said we should bounce back and take the next 2.

Spoiler alert: whoever gets to 6 runs today wins the game

1) Who wins if neither team gets to 6 runs??

2) Who wins if both score 6 or more runs??

3) So many questions about this Horns baseball team.....

Man I am so depressed after yesterday. I hope today's game and the Spring Game act as prozac.

Wait, so there are people still thinking we host a Regional?

wow

There’s a little golf tournament this weekend that brings me some joy.

Not that farfetched at all.

I just can't believe how bad we are at bunting in general. That is definitely a coaching issue.

Look possible that rain/lighting may mess with this game today.

Only if we jump out to a quick 6-0 lead.*

You shouldn’t worry about bunting or anything else one might consider as a fundamental ... especially for a team so anemic with the bat and bungling with the glove and on the base path. It’s been happening all season with no sense of urgency to fix or adapt. So, just shrug and blame it on the injured SS and C.

The fundamentals are starting to worry me a bit. And it's not just injuries. I looked at every fielder other than catcher that has gotten decent playing time this year and was here last year. Except for Tate Shaw, every one of them had a decrease in fielding %.  That seems like coaching and not paying enough attention to defense in practice.  

If we were raking at the plate, I could look past this as a tradeoff.  But we suck at the plate also.  

Every team we play on a weekend has more power than us. 

That would be ok if the team were full of .320 hitters but it’s not, hence the team’s offense seems very tied to walks and hbp to bolster ops because slugging isn’t going to raise it. 

Same as the basketball team with the inconsistency

Pierce's explanation.     Seems he has no confidence in Reagan or Bertelson to PH which may be needed in the future.

 

UT’s decision to have Kennedy bunt was a curious call. Kennedy leads UT in batting average, but he had injured his shoulder during an outfield collision this past weekend at Baylor.  After the game, Pierce said that Kennedy “can’t swing.” Kennedy had pinch-run for designated hitter Peter Geib an inning earlier, but Pierce opted to not hit for him because he thought the speedy freshman could beat out a throw on a bunt.

“I just thought it was as good of a move as we could have made if he just makes the bunt,” said Pierce before adding that Kennedy was “about a day or two away.”

Todd absolutely dominated by guy with ERA over 11

CF cameraman making me seasick!!!!

Zubia watches a lightning fast 87-mph fastball right down the middle

Henley pitched himself out of two base runner jam.

This is just sad. The state pitcher is throwing bp, 85-87 meatballs and we can't square one up.

Reynolds just got an 85 mph 0-1 "fastball" down the middle and  did nothing with it

  • Author

And thats why we cant afford to leave son of Bertel on the bench

First close pitch this ump has called a strike. Todd walks anyway

And to think the ump called a strike when it was ball four.

Ok I know it is only the second inning but I am feeling good about this one.
