Sounds like a great way to lose a coach and a team in mid April of a season where you are 9-4 in the SEC.

Soft. Got shoved in a locker one too many times maybe?

You’ve certainly never been in a college baseball locker room if you think ripping an assistant coach and players after game 1 of a series is a smart decision.

You know who did that a lot? The previous coach here who is no longer employed because he had no friends.

[Jeff Howe]

Tinney throws Sorrell out trying to steal second. The Aggies are challenging the call.

[Jeff Howe]

I don't think there's enough there to overturn it, but I've seen stranger things happen.

Well, they overturned it. The last angle they showed was the one where it looked like Sorrell's hand got to the bag before the tag was applied.

I could stomach it better if those were hits.

I can almost guarantee that'll be the first thing Schloss mentions in the postgame. Way too many free bases tonight.

What would Augie say? Lol

[Jeff Howe]

Borba's throw gets away from Larson.

A run scores, even though they get Hacopian at second base to end the inning.

It's been that kind of night.

[Jeff Howe]

End of 8: Texas A&M 9, Texas 6

You’re misplacing blame.

Schloss was the guy who pulled Livingston after a double on the previous AB.  Replacing him with a dude that’s hardly played.  With a fast runner on 1st, being held on, you’ve got a hole for the hitter.  Then Courville got the righty-righty matchup in top 8.  Nevermind putting Larsen at 1st, which he hasn’t played.

Oh did Larsen just miss a scoop?

[Jeff Howe]

Way too many self-inflicted wounds. The run in the eighth wasn't charged to Grubbs because of the throwing error by Borba.

Texas was just too sloppy tonight.

Tinney goes down strikes. The 11th strikeout for the Texas bats tonight.

[Class of 04]

I didn't have Grubbs being the stopper out of the pen on my bingo card. Pretty sad showing from our "vaunted" bullpen.

[TCope111]

We just aren’t as good as we could be if we had a stronger bullpen. We all knew we would be a little vulnerable without A-Rod playing short. The walks are what kills us. It’s not just tonight, it’s been about 6 different games now, at least.

BOOM! ROBBINS GOES DEEP FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT!

I used to high school baseball. The throw down to 2B is one of the more difficult calls. You're moving, trying to catch up to the runner, and trying to see two events that are 4-5 feet apart. Tough calls.

[Jeff Howe]

A solo shot to center field by Robbins makes it a two-run game, 9-7, in favor of the Aggies.

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! BACK-TO-BACK JACKS!

[horns96]

Entire team shriveled under the spotlight.

 

Other than Robbins 🤘😉

[ElCafetero]

IM WET 

[Jeff Howe]

Pack takes Freshcorn deep to right. It's a 9-8 game with one out in the top of the ninth.

[Austalgia]

Too bad Borba hitting like crap.  Sorry, that was negative

Heck of an opportunity for Borba, who has struck out four times tonight.

[Jeff Howe]

Two down after Borba grounds out to third.
