Homer announcers on the SEC Network+ broadcasts can make road games a tough watch.

10 walks issued by the pitching staff today. That's very unlike what we've seen throughout the season.

That’s close to 25 walks by Texas pitchers in this 3 game series isn’t it Jeff ?

32 combined walks and HBP according to the broadcast.

[Jeff Howe]

BOOM! Flores with a solo shot to right!

[Jeff Howe]

It's good to see Jalin swinging the bat today. His second home run makes it a 13-8 game with two outs in the top of the ninth.

No joy

I think our low batting average in the SEC and problems with depth when injuries occur is showing up.  Schloss has said several times that we need more depth.  Hopefully he will keep working on that.  He has done a great job with this team.

Always turn down TV and turn up Craig. Any sport. Rare exceptions just to get a vibe from a Klatt or Herbie...

[Austalgia]

What we usually do well, we didn’t.  Getting early favorable pitching counts, and laying off bad pitches to get into good hitting counts.  It’s annoying it was against the hogs.  They are insufferable. With all the pig yelling.

Gotta go over .500 vs gators and gooners...

I was there, and we were just average, just today.  Awful day one.  pee wee day two.  Hard to believe the team I saw this weekend is in first place in the SEC

[pinkman_90]

A cold series on offense happens.  The hogs are talented and while we had some better swings today, they shut us down completely the first two.  
 

The pitching is very concerning.  Spencer injury is massive as we already didn’t have the deepest roster.  Most of our pitchers have no margin for error.  

[HookedOnTF]

Next up: Lamar isnt a slacker either, maybe a Baylor level squad, better than UTSA and TxSt. Not a lot of HRs, but score 8 runs per game and have the #19 team ERA.

Gonna have some pulled pork bbq I've been smoking for about twelve hours.

No worries … they’re only better at hitting and pitching 😎

Announcers didn't bother me too much, but listening to them talk about the Cubs from back in the day made me think I was listening to Bartman's cousins or something who relocated.
