April 27, 20196 yr Three consecutive late inning collapses. Can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store.
April 27, 20196 yr Author Longest slump in Texas Longhorn Baseball that I can remember. Feel bad for the team..... not a Game they should lose.... DAMN
April 27, 20196 yr that call by blue is a JV high school ump call. oh look it curved towards the plate, I want to make a big punch out! horseshit.
April 27, 20196 yr Disappointing loss, but this team has the ability to ruin someone’s hosted regional

We made a couple of bad pitches. I will take that outing from Bocchi over what we have been getting. As you said before we just do not have any power so the margin for error is so slim. It means when we make a terrible baserunnig error we lose a one run game.

Side slots always lead to hangers. they actually changed his slot to get more movement because he doesn't have enough velocity. I get what you are saying but IMO, the slot isn't the issue. he should never throw a curve on the inside of the plate. it should always be off the plate away.

Upset 80s sometimes touching 90.

April 27, 20196 yr Said it earlier, but did you see the dugout in the bottom of the ninth. Less hope there than here. This team is mindfucked.

He started at his armpit which is a bad decision. Start at the plate on a RH.

I’m just saying that you don’t need to be a flamethrower to get movement with a textbook delivery. Watch when Bocchi gets to rookie league or A-ball. They will throw that new slot in the garbage and fix him.

Watch when Bocchi gets to rookie league or A-ball. They will throw that new slot in the garbage and fix him. Bocchi against Tenn Tech. Fastball has movement, low 90's, note the way he keeps the ball down. Pierce had success in changing the slot of Parker Joe not sure why he thought it was necessary with Bocchi.

Watch when Bocchi gets to rookie league or A-ball. They will throw that new slot in the garbage and fix him. I agree about movement not being specifically related to a slot in general. everything I see from Elder says he's 92 with his fastball. there is a big difference between 88 and 92 when you get to this level even. especially if you are not a left hander. at 88 Bocchi and being RH he needs a damn good change or a damn good curve. I don't think he had either before movement to a different slot. I root for Bocchi, great story, seems like a very hard worker but IMO regardless of slot Bocchi will have a short life in pro baseball if he doesn't perfect one of those other pitches. Pierce probably thought Bocchi could benefit from the slot move and its "easier" to generate movement that way. also, nice to have a different look coming out of the pen. vs. guys with the exact same delivery as the starters. anyway, it really doesn't matter because changing bocchi's delivery is very low on the issue list.

Get Peter back and get him as many innings behind the plate as possible. Put Bertelson at 1st and leave him there. It’s all about next year at this point.

A RH with a change that tends to float @88 will get slayed. I have never liked side slotted guys. It never fails that they hang one and when they do they get punished at bad times for it.

April 27, 20196 yr Are we sure Roger doesn’t have any more sons?? He had to be getting some side action in Boston or NY...

After that performance in the regional last year, I had really high hopes for Bocchi as a quality starter this season. Not sure why that hasn't happened..... Has Bocchi been injured at all since last season??
April 27, 20196 yr Bocchi .. from that baseball hot bed Italy .. being a viable option should tell us all we need to know about the rest of the pitching staff. In his defense last night, Bocchi threw one bad pitch in an otherwise decent outing. It was nice, for a change, not to suffer death by a thousand cuts of BB, PB, and WP. It was a mercy killing.
April 27, 20196 yr So Bocchi doesn't have enough velocity, but he makes up for it by not having enough movement. Sounds like a winning combo.

April 27, 20196 yr Interesting lineup. To an extent looks like Pierce playing for the future. Edited April 27, 20196 yr by TwiceHorn
