[Jeff Howe]

Max Grubbs is on the mound.

[Class of 04]

May as well leave Harrison in there, this game is over. Now were gonna burn through every arm in the pen today and get swept.

Yeah had to turn it off. We either throw meatballs or give them free bases. Only pitcher I trust is volantis. This team will be lucky not to get beat by UTSA in a regional again, hope we don’t play tarelton. 🙄🙄

[Jeff Howe]

Harrison's line, and he's responsible for the runner on second:

[ClubWhatever]

It’s mental weakness.  Can’t block out the noise and make good pitches.  Instead, they fold.  

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs gets Hacopian to ground out to short to end an inning in which there's no shortage of words to describe the carnage.

End of 1: Texas A&M 8, Texas 1

[JMarquette]

I heard that this pitching staff was supposed to be the best in the nation 

[McCoyColt]

Get Weiner out of here.

[Buck Travis]

Mid season slump? Same happened to softball last year getting swept by ou. Turned out ok.

You are an absolute moron

Everyone knows I’ve been a Longhorn fan all my life & im pushing up against 80 years old . We are pitiful, embarrassing our Longhorn name.  8-1  against a 18th ranked team & we are ranked #2  . In second inning. I’m ready for some football.

You can say that but they truly had a one off. This stuff that is happening has happened consistently after that 16-0 run, that’s not a slump that’s a problem.

[BurntOrangeDriller]

The lack of urgency with getting a pitcher out when he’s struggling yet the insistence to take out a started that doesn’t look bad is Pierce level management

There was going to be one of these weekends at some point in SEC play. I've been saying it all year and not just to hear myself talk.

This league is too good to just roll through it and win every series.

Now, we get to see how this bunch responds to getting punched in the mouth.

[SuperDave0805]

Team read their headlines and got cocky, Maybe being b*tch slapped by their biggest rivals will be good in the long run 

I know I'm grasping at straws 

[Here for the Wins]

Schloss needs to give the ump an earful on the zone.  The hitters are too comfortable in dictating the zone.

[Cozer]

Can’t let one pitch turn into six runs. Big time baseball means you get to the next batter and make a pitch. 

[BurntOrangeDriller]

But also, can we stop with the, this team sucks, they are awful, not a postseason team, fire everyone BS. It’s exhausting.

Not grasping at straws, but we're going to have to sit in this mess for a minute. Players, fans, coaches — everybody has to feel this and isn't going to be good.

[Jeff Howe]

Borba's struggles continue.

He's 0-for-6 in the series with five strikeouts.

M2: TAMU 8, Texas 1

[Bevohorns]

Glad miller is doing good cause this weekend in the diamond is stinky 

[Jeff Howe]

Grubbs retires the Aggies in the order in the bottom of the second.
